Publisher's summary

Scottish beauty Roslynn Chadwick needs the safety of marriage to protect her from an unscrupulous cousin and the fortune-hunting scoundrels who covet her wealth. And Anthony Malory is precisely the sort of handsome rogue she's been warned against.

A cunning, ruthless, yet irresistible rake, Anthony's sensual blue eyes speak of pleasures beyond her imagining - and Roslynn, believing his passionate promises will surely lead to disaster, dearly wishes she dared to surrender to such a man. But denying her heart may cost the exquisite Highlands lady an unparalleled love hotter than flame and more precious than the rarest jewel.

The saga continues: listen to more romatic tales of the Malory family.

Timeless classic

My mother introduced Johanna Lindsey to me in 1989. Tender Rebel was my first romance novel. I've been hooked since. Listening to this classic made it seem new but still enjoyable. The Irish accents were ok as well.

Tender Rebel (Unabridged)

Very entertaining. I listened to this while traveling alone on a long trip. I was so into the story; I didn't mind the empty passenger seat! J.L. is an all time favorite of mine. Thank you Johanna Lindsey for coming along on a cross country trip that would have otherwise been very dreary!

Another Malory!

Great story. If you are a Johanna Lindsey fan and fan of the Mallory’s, listening to this story is a must. I have rediscovered these stories and am enjoying listening. The reader is fantastic!

I'm addicted to Johanna Lindsey

I am now addicted to Johanna Lindsey's books. I'm sorry it took me so long to discover this series.

This was delightful. Lindsey's books are quite humorous (I sure hope that was her intention) and the characters are colorful and interesting. This book is no exception. I truly enjoyed this.

The one negative I can point to is that the narrator's Scottish accent sounds like an Irish brogue and was a bit distracting. But I've already downloaded Book 3 in this series.

Exciting and Sweet

The Narration was exact I felt like I was there. The Malory Series is one of my favorites. This pulsates with Desire and Fullfillment.

Very entertaining

There is enough humor and suspense to keep you entertained, and the books are not trashy like other romance novels.

Enjoyable

I have just finished listening to this novel and am now waiting for the 'Gentle Rogue' to download.
At first look, I was uncertain if I would enjoy this series, so I started with this second book 'Tender Rebel' as the synopsis appealed to me the most.
At one point Roslynn began to annoy me, simply because she believed the worse in Anthony with very little evidence to feed her distrust. Personally, I found this frustrating and a little unbelievable that she could be that dim-witted. It distracted me for a while but I've listened to far worse plots with far more annoying female protagonists so I got over it in the end and continued enjoying the story. Apart from this, it was any easy listen and held my interest with everything you look for in a fun, delightful romance story.
I must say, it was very clever of the author to introduce the next novel's plot during this story. I think I may now be hooked on the Malory series.
