Pamela Clare ~ Fan Group discussion

1. - A hand-picked cadre of warriors, they had the fierce courage of their Scots forefathers, combined with the stealth and cunning of the Indians who lived beside them in the wilderness. Battling the French in a no-holds-barred combat, they forged a new brand of honor, became a new breed of men...MacKinnon's Rangers.

Iain MacKinnon had been forced to serve the British crown, but compassion urged him to save the lovely lass facing certain death at the hands of the Abenaki. He'd defied his orders, endangered his brothers, his men and his mission, all for a woman. But when he held Annie's sweet body in his arms, he could feel no regret. Though he sensed she was hiding something from him, it was too late to hold back his heart. In love and war, there are times when the only course of action is... Surrender.

2. - They were a band of brothers, their loyalty to one another forged by hardship and battle, the bond between these Highland warriors, rugged colonials, and fierce Native Americans stronger even than blood ties.

Though forced to fight for the hated British, Morgan MacKinnon would no more betray the men he leads than slit his own throat—not even when he was captured by the French and threatened with an agonizing death by fire at the hands of their Abenaki allies. Only the look of innocent longing in the eyes of a convent-bred French lass could make him question his vow to escape and return to the Rangers. And soon the sweet passion he awoke in Amalie had him cursing the war that forced him to choose between upholding his honor and pledging himself to the woman he loves.

3. - (Coming July 3rd, 2012) - Charged with a crime they didn’t commit, the MacKinnon brothers faced a death sentence until they agreed to serve the British Crown in the Colonies and take up arms against the French. Allied with the Indian tribes who lived beside them in the wilderness, the Scottish Highland warriors forged a new breed of soldier… MacKinnon’s Rangers.

Major Connor MacKinnon despises his commander, Lord William Wentworth, beyond all other men. Ordered to rescue Wentworth’s niece after the Shawnee take her captive, he expects Lady Sarah Woodville to be every bit as arrogant and contemptible as her uncle. Instead, he finds a brave and beautiful lass in desperate peril. But the only way to free Sarah is for Connor to defeat the Shawnee warrior who kidnapped her—and claim her himself.

Torn by tragedy from her sheltered life in London, Lady Sarah is unprepared for the harshness of the frontier—or for the attraction she feels toward Connor as he guides her first through the consummation of their forced union and then through the dangers of the wilderness. When they reach civilization, however, it is she who must protect him. For if her uncle knew all that Connor had done to save her, he would surely kill him.

But the flames of passion, once kindled, are difficult to deny. As desire transforms into love, Connor will have to defy an empire to keep Sarah at his side.

Isn't it fabulous!?!

And yes, Pamela said that Joseph and William will both get stories! :)

You're welcome!!! All of us were excited to get that news, but now for the wait...

No, I sure don't. Maybe Pamela will pop in when she's not busy writing the next I-Team book and be able to answer!

Lillian, I just created a thread called Questions for Pamela. Why don't you go post your question there and when she has time, maybe she'll pop in and give us an answer!

Questions for Pamela

Oh thani you *Dhestiny* for recommending these books to me!!, I loved them!!. I hope that the story of William comes next as I can't wait!!!

I just finished the McKinnon's Rangers trilogy and I am so sad! I want more!

There's more to come.........!!!!!

They are pretty awesome!

Seriously- the first series I read after Outlander that I wasn't disappointed in! Any other suggestions for what to read next? I tried an I-series....it was good but it reminded me too much of my work (no fun!).

Melissa, which I-Team book did you read? Book 1 is good, very good, but the ones that come after are amazing. Had you read beyond book 1?

It was the first one! Should I try book 2?

Melissa wrote: "It was the first one! Should I try book 2?"

YES! I love Reece and Kara, but the next books... amazing!

I'm looking for other books to read similar to the Mackinnons!!! Does any one have suggestions?

Have you tried Julie Garwood's Highlanders? They're great!

No I've not. I will look into them. Any I there's that compare to the Mackinnons?

I can't think of anyone who really compares to Pamela Clare. But I think Maya Banks' Highlander books and Julie Garwood are good choices.

Honestly I KNOW NOTHING compares to anything Pamela writes but I had wishful thinking I guess. Maybe I will just re read the Mackinnons!!!

Oh and Elizabeth Hoyt is good too. I would try her Legend of the four Soldiers series.

Heidi: try Jennifer Ashley's MacKenzie series. Starts with The Madness of Lord Ian MacKenzie.

DUH! That's a great series! I didn't even think of it.

Yep, one of my favorites. I think people who like PC will like it as well.

Have read the Mackenzie's as well as all of Elizabeth Hoyt's books. All excellent! How 'bout suggestion of anything in the colonial era maybe?? I'm thinking Willismsburg? Know any books taking place there or in that area?

Hm. I'd like to see some recs in that area, too. I don't know why it's not a setting that's used more in romance.
