Summary: What a way to end the Mackinnon Series!
Review: By the way, I didn't find this book had the same plot asHeaven Knows at all. These books couldn't be more different! This isabout the sister who was kidnapped by indians as a child. Her brothers had given up hope of ever finding her. Then an English lord who paints indian life buys this white captive when he sees her being sold by the indians. He buys her to get revenge on his father, marries her and takes her home to England, walks in on Christmas Eve with a buckskin clad wife, and stuns everyone when he leaves without her. What happens next ought to be in a movie. You've never seen a woman like this, who not only makes a My Fair Lady transformation, but takes London by storm! The hero's mother and sister are a stitch! You'll die laughing. A perfect ending to a perfect 7 book series. Wish she'd consider doing one or two more!

Summary: A pleasant read
Review: It is an very touching story and an enjoyable read. As the reader I felt for the characters. It is truly a "My Fair Lady" version but the setting is early American to England. William Woodville is escaping from his father's strong and family title hold by going to American to discover America's wilderness on a canvas through paint. He and his friends come upon indians trading a white woman, Margery Mackinnon, that has been raised by indians as a slave. Feeling for her he trades for her- only to be used by him. He marries her and takes her back to England humiliate his father and show his father that only he controls his destiny. Deserting he and going to back America, he realizes that he has love for her and slowly makes his way back to England to claim her heart which takes a couple of years to accomplish- only to find her transformed into a beautiful, well trained, lady with a surprise (or make that 2 surprises) of her own for him. I say read it for yourself, but it's not a keeper.

Summary: Good Humor, Sweet Story
Review: This was an enjoyable book. The heroine was well-developed, although the author could have gone into more detail showing her feeling more emotional hurt over being abandoned. But the dialogue was well developed, showing each character's unique personality. The hero's mother was quite witty, and a very strong lady who taught much to the heroine. Ms. Coffman has a true talent for describing the scenery and setting of her stories. You can see what is happening, like if it were a movie. Her writing is very clear and strong. The ending of this story is happy, and leaves you with a smile.
