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.©2008 Johanna Lindsey (P)2008 Brilliance Audio, Inc. Historical Historical Fiction Regency

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.

Timeless classic

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!

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!

Another Malory!

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.

What made the experience of listening to Tender Rebel the most enjoyable?

Narrator Laural Merlington definitely delivers her best performance thus far. She has gotten much better at the male character voices & has even begun adding soft, tenderness in her delivery of the words we women crave to hear from our leading man. It made my listening experience as real as reading the book & being carried away to England. Johanna Lindsey knocked this book out of the park. Tender Rebel is primarily Anthony & Roslynn's story, but we get to enjoy more of James Mallory's rebellious & quite humorous personality. As Jeremy Mallory (James' 17 year old son) would say..... "Hell's Bell's" this was a great book.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Tender Rebel?

In this book Anthony & his brother James are reunited and seem to pick up right where the left off before James took to the seas 10 years earlier. The brothers amuse themselves with hilarious banter every chance they get. Don't let that fool you though, cause when it comes to family the Mallory men are tender yet very protective & always have each other's back.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I think I had a constant smile on my face throughout the entire story & yes I most definitely laughed.

I really loved the character of Anthony Mallory and it was good to see his character was the same in this book. I appreciated the fact the heroine was closer to him in age and also was just as stubborn. But what really made this book worth it to me is the interaction between Anthony and his brother James -- they should have their own book without any romance -- a real bromance book. LOL

I did feel the length of the tension between the Anthony/Roslynn was a little too drug out for the book. I would rather have had them declare their love for each other and tackle some of the drama as a couple instead of keeping them apart over a very simple little misunderstanding.

Overall a great addition to the Malory family of books. I look forward to reading the next one in the series. The narrator still hasn't bothered as she does other reviewers except for the occasional pitch/tone that doesn't sound good.

Great addition to the Malory Series
