Just as wonderful as The Madness of Ian Mackenzie, and maybe even a bit more. In fact, Malcolm rivals Ian as my most favorite hero. Even though he's the youngest, I loved that he is the one to carry on the ducal title. If you harbor fantasies of being the focus of a man's devotion and loyalty, Malcolm is the hero for you.

At first I didn't know if I'd like reading about the Mackenzies during this very tragic era for Scotland(Bonnie Prince Charlie, Culloden) but it was a great book. Malcolm and Mary make a great hero and heroine. It had one of my favorite tropes, when the hero knows almost instantly that the heroine is the woman for him, and lets nothing stand in his way. Mary was quite intrepid too(loved the scene where he teaches her how to set slow fuses!)
This book was a page-turner, with lots of action, daring escapes, separations and reunions. It kept me up late at night finishing it.
