The prequel to this, Outlaw, was so wonderful, I had high hopes for this one but I was overall disappointed. Robbie just doesn't inspire the same kind of awe and invincibility as Johnnie Carre. Oh, he swaggers, takes ridiculous risks and all, but he'd be nothing without the Carre clan behind him. And frankly, he was way too immature for Roxanne.
He was so irresponsible that I felt like she was his mother rather than his lover. I guess this is all to say that the age difference was a major problem for me.

I was disappointed, the story didnt seem to flow smoothly to me.
Roxane Forrestor was determined to live ife on her own terms...even in a man's world. The beautiful Countess of Kilmarnock had so far survived the political and romantic intrigues of Scotland's most powerful suitors. So why couldn't she resist the brash Robbie Carre? Why did she find it impossible to throw the rebel eatl out of her bedchamber even though it meant harboring a wanted man? Robbie cared nothing for his own safety. But he knew all too well that his ruthless enemies , desperate to capture him, would use Roxie and her children as pawns. He would brave the odds to protect them, would fight for his fugitive love with Roxie....even if their stolen moments of pleasure could cost him his life.
