are Robbies enemies powerful enough to tear them apart foreverBe sure to join CCGibbsFANS here on GR for the latest newsPublic group for membersyears and older Wow would definitely suggest reading Outlaw before this book The beginning of this book pretty much starts off where Outlaw left off The author seems to assume readers have read Outlaw as she doesn't explain who characters are or how they found themselves in the situations they are inEighteen Really Im sorry it's just incredibly hard for me to get into a story where the lead male character is only eighteen years old I like my guys to be older and mature Yes I know a lot of books have the female being super young also but I have double standards where it doesn't bother me besides we all know woman mature super duper faster than men So there is this road block of Robbie being only eighteen years old and then to boot his love interest Roxane is older I'm thinking she is in her thirties Another double standard of mine rearing it's ugly head I don't like the women being older than the men I have a feeling there are some DemiAshton fans out there cheering this book on but for me it severely affected my ability to get into this storyWith that being said the author is an incredibly gifted writer She was able to write Robbie well enough that sometimes I forgot he was only eighteen The interaction between Robbie and Roxane is smoking hot and jumps off the pages at you Top notch stuffRoxane was an interesting character She openly acknowledges the fact she loves Robbie but doesn't see a logical way of being able to be with him This story is completely different from a lot of typical romance books where the heroheroine stay apart because they can't admit they love each other or there is the big misunderstanding Here we have political drama children and sense of freedom Kudos to the author for having Roxane be an intelligent woman who considers how good of a father Robbie would be to her children and if she would lose the freedom she has as a widow I think here in these problems is where the age difference between these two really shows Roxane thinks and struggles over logical issues and problems over her and Robbie being together while Robbie just thinks love is enough and all problems can be solved because of that I was disappointed how the author made Roxane a little dumb towards the end of the book with Roxane not trusting Robbie In fact the whole last part of the book was what I would consider crappy storylinesThis book dragged for me I could never get into the stories or characters because of the afore mentioned issues I did a lot of read skipping I'm kind of frustrated with the author because I think she has incredible talent for writing but I can't seem to get into her stories you would think good writing would create a good storyThis story wasn't for me at all The beginning was way better than the end it just drug on for me Readers who like the author Johnson might like it because as I said before Johnson has real talent as a writer but for some reason I just don't like her stories Hmm I love her writing but hate her stories does that make sense C I actually liked this because this is the first time I have read a book wherein the hero is substantially younger than the heroine Their love was believable and so were the insecurities Roxanne felt about falling in love with a much younger man I think I have to read the first book in the series to better appreciate this book though She risked everything for a Scottish outlaw who would do whatever it takesAuthor of than a

relays the May September romance betweenyear old Robbie Carre the roguish hero of Outlaw andsomething widow Roxanne Forrestor The sexually charged story opens with Robbie who has recently returned from exile in Holland making a sudden appearance in Roxanne's boudoir Beyond his hopes of ravishing the object of his affection the lad aims to reclaim his ancestral lands Soon those closest to Robbie find themselves in jeopardy Roxanne is forced to become the mistress of a powerful duke in order to protect her children from Robbie's adversaries a decision that doesn't sit well with Robbie Demanding stubborn and childishly irrational Roxanne's young lover behaves like one of her children than a romantic hero Some readers will no doubt be titillated by the older woman younger man romance but others like myself will likely find Roxanne's maternal role in the relationship distasteful at the very least But as always the footnotes are fascinating but all this attention to historical detail with a corresponding lack of attention paid to character and plot makes me wonder if Susan Johnson wouldn't be happier writing non fiction More of Purplycookies s Book Details Title To Please a
