McClairen's Isle: The Reckless One

Sometimes you just get lucky when you pick up a book in the grocery isle from an author you've never heard of before. This was the case with The Reckless One. This is the first book I've read of Connie Brockway's. She grabbed my attention right form the start. I loved the characters and have to read the first book from this triolgy "The Passionate One" as well as Fia's story :) It was a great read an I highly recommend it.

Ms Brockway returns to top form after the disappointing "The Passionate One". The story is unrelentingly dark and turbulent, with two characters tortured beyond tortured, but they find redemption through their love for each other. Raine and Favor are two people whose lives have been filled with nothing but pain and guilt and loneliness - watching them complete the hollow in each's soul is simply an enchanting experience.The story is filled with exciting intrigue and the villian Ronald Merrick, Earl of Carr deserves the Loreena Bobbitt's VIP Cut Treatment. The secondary characters shine - Fia, Gunna - these people are as real as Raine and Favor.Great plot, wonderful love, and an utterly satisfied reader - that's a great combination, right?

The Reckless One is so delicious. Especially if you've read The Passionate One (but it's not necessary in order to still enjoy this wonderful romance) Connie Brockway is doing something really special with this series. It's romantic, sexy and the characters are extraordinary. I love Georgians and Scottish castle where the book is set is terrific. The story is filled with fascinating people, secrets, mysteries and undercurrents. I can't wait for Fia's story!

The Reckless One swept me up into a world of wicked rogues and regal ladies. Raine is the ultimate scoundrel hero, wounded in his soul yet shrugging off his troubles as he sweeps into Scotland and romances the mysterious lady he finds haunting his castle home. They don't make men like that anymore, and probably it's a good thing because my heart won't take it. Can't wait for the next installment of McClairen's Isle.

I should never have started this book in the evening because I stayed up all night to finish it. I loved The Reckless One. Connie Brockway writes a rich story that touches all my emotions and her hero in this one is sooooo wonderful. I cannot wait until the last book in this trilogy!
