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.

Critic reviews

"[Johanna Lindsey] creates fairy tales that come true." ( Romantic Times)

Another great Mallory novel

I love the Mallory series. Both characters from the prior book and new characters come alive in this book. It is another great Mallory novel!

The Kind Of Man We Dream Of.

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.

Great addition to the Malory Series

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.

Favorite series

I have read this series 3 times. My all time favorite series. I had the books 1 st and now have them all on audio.
Johanna Lindsey is one of my favorite authors. I owned all her books. I have since gotten all that are on audio.

the love of family

not a thing sured change. He loves her with all his heart. it just took her time.

LOVELY READ

Usually I only remove my ipod from my car when I am close to the end of a book, because then you HAVE to finish, but this one got the best of me - I removed it on Friday and it was done by Sunday.

The Malory family are a great bunch, I love hearing about their antics and the story line; although predictable; is wonderful!

Johanna, lovely writing - Thank you

Better than the first

Enjoyed the first book of the Malory Family series. REALLY enjoyed the second. Again, Merlington was wonderful.

wonderfu;

LOVE this book. Funny, touching and a joy to read.
All of the Mallory books are enijoyable, yet this one is my favorite I think.

decent

I didn't have any issues with the Johanna narrating that everyone else did. I honestly feel more connected to it, rather than hear a different voice. good story.

Love Those Mallorys

And the saga continues. The Mallory family is a radical collection of loveable scalywags and Johanna Lindsey knows just how to tell their stories. Tony takes his turn in the firing line of cupid's arrows. His lady love is going to fit right in to the family. If she and Tony can just get to the point of trusting each other all should be well.

Great fun!
