 The devil you say November 17, 2008
Ms. Raney has given us a wonderful novel with characters who have so much depth that you can't help but fall in love with them. Marshall Ross the Earl of Ambrose came back from China a changed man who lived through torture and the loss of half of his men, he needs a wife to carry on the name and so he chooses Davina McLaren to play the role, he wants a wife of convenience who will give him an heir and leave him alone but Davina has other plans, she has secrets of her own but wants to chase away the ghosts that haunt Marshall and be a wife in every way. See where the road takes these two unfortunate lovers.
Will read again soon November 14, 2008
I just loved this book. The characters were complex. Davina was one of the most fascinating and compelling heroines I've read in a long time. She was fearless, funny, candid and just fun. She wasn't cowering or whinny like most heroines would have been in her situation. The ending is surprising. The love scenes were beautiful, especially when Davina and Marshall are in the Egyptian house- I believe. It was just a great read. My only complaint is the model on the cover does not match Marshall's discription. He has brown eyes while the model obviously has blue/ green eyes.
The Devil Wears Tartan November 6, 2008
Scandal forced Davina McLaren to marry a stranger. Desperation led Marshall Ross, the Devil of Ambrose, to Davina. Davina is quickly captivated by her new husband. His kisses enthrall her, but his mysterious absences leave her heartbroken and curious. Marshall wants his lovely wife but he fears what he might to do her. Marshall's demons come to him at night so he must keep his distance. Davina knows there is something wrong with her husband. She's convinced he's not crazy, but who is this man that she married? Is he a reclose or a lunatic? Devina's fight to save their marriage and Marshall's sanity seems futile but she isn't giving up. She'll fight for him, even when the fight is against someone they trust.
The Devil Wears Tartan is an intriguing story with dark secrets, deep passions, and intense emotions. Davina is innocent and yet bold. She's intelligent, witty, and always speaks her mind. Marshall is truly a tortured hero. His brooding mysteriousness is compelling. Davina and Marshall are very well suited. They are perfect together. They match each other in intelligence and fit like a glove in bed. In most stories the hero saves the heroine, in The Devil Wears Tartan, the heroine saves the hero. Devina's unrelenting support of and care for Marshall save him, literally and figuratively. The Devil Wears Tartan is an excellent story filled with sensuality and suspense.

I had never read a book by Karen Ranney before. The book was just OK. The plot line was interesting and had great potential but there was just something missing. I liked the character of Davina. I found her to be refreshing with her honesty and bluntness. I never felt a connection to Marshall though. And I never felt that they connected well together. Also, the love scenes were not intense enough for me. They were more PG-13 rated. I like a solid R rating. I don't think I would buy another book by this author. I would read it if it was given to me though. Not bad, but nothing to get excited about.

This was your average romance. As all ways the main characters fall in love to quickly for me, but good none the less
