Book 3 Reed is the last of King Edward’s bastard triplets that has yet to fall prey to the king’s trickery. Feeling betrayed and abandoned by his brothers, Reed’s vengeance is now directed toward Rowen and Rook, since they made an alliance with the king. For years after the triplets found out that Edward was their birth father and wanted them killed at birth, they’d worked together as the Demon … the Demon Thief to steal from the king to make him miserable.
Now, with a raid gone wrong, Reed and his men head back to Scotland. Reed swears nothing will ever make him change his mind about how he feels. But when his next raid leads him right to his childhood sweetheart, Maggie Gordon, things become more complicated.
Maggie has seen the death of her family and the destruction of her homeland years ago. As a child, along with her baby brother, she managed to escape Scotland’s devastation on Burnt Candlemas, and has been living in England for the last ten years as the ward of an English noble. She would do anything to assure her brother, Duff, has a good life – even marry an English baron she doesn’t know. But when her childhood sweetheart, Reed Douglas, comes over the castle wall, old feelings rise to the surface again.
Can friends be reunited but this time as lovers? Or will anger and vengeance keep friends and family torn apart?
Note to readers: Each book stands alone, but is still intertwined with recurring characters. Therefore, it is best to start with the prequel, Destiny’s Kiss, and read the books in order so as not to ruin any surprises. The prequel is followed by Restless Sea Lord – Book 1, Ruthless Knight – Book 2, and then Reckless Highlander – Book 3.

I won a copy of this book from the author, I was not required to give a favorable review. When two people come together during times that are scary, love has a way to concur it. Reed is 3 of the bastard triplets of King Edward that is fighting a war & is on a raiding party. When she runs into Reed, she has escaped being betrothed to a Baron with her baby brother in tow, can she trust Reed with her heart again after it was broken when she was younger.
Loved. Will read again.
I love to read her books. I’ve never been disappointed and enjoy when you see another character from another book written in. It’s like seeing an old friend.
Last of the Kings ill-begotten sons who still is holding a grudge against him. Runs into a childhood sweetheart, who is betroth to an English noble she doesn’t know, and kidnaps her. If that doesn’t say Scottish romance than what does? Its a nice story.
Enjoyed characters, different spin on Medieval Romance
loved it
Enjoyed reading it.
Loved this story.
I have enjoyed this series. The historical facts are spot on, and who doesn’t like romance. Each story in this series revealed how each of the triplets met his future wife, Along the way is of course action, adventure, and some nail-biting moments. I have read the other two books in this series and enjoyed them as much or more as I have enjoyed this book. There is also the the prequel, which reveal the birth of the triplets. The books could easily stand alone due to the expertly way the author cross over the introduction of the characters in each book, but they are so interesting and entertaining, you will want to read all three book and the prequel.
Loved this book! Kept my interest all the way through. Ended up buying rest of the series as well.
Not your typical Scottish romance. I enjoyed the main characters and their flaws.
Be prepared to be entertained as the last illegitimate triple of King Edward gets his story. Reed feels betrayed by his two brothers who made an alliance with their hated father. The three had worked hard when they found out who their sire was to steal as much as they could from him and were known as the Demon Thief.
Continuing to raid and steal in England, Reed comes upon Maggie, his former childhood sweetheart She had fled years ago with her small brother when her homeland in Scotland had been devastated and had been living as a ward under an English noble. Of course the spark is still there with their attraction it seems but much is at stake!
Can they come back together with Reed’s lust for vengeance? I truly loved these two and with the authors wonderful descriptions and great characters that come off the page, I could only smile as I turned the last page.
Reed is the last of King Edward’s bastard triplets , ordered to be killed by the king, because triplets were believed to be a curse, they were raised by an aunt and when they got older they were determined to make the king pay. Reed feels betrayed by his brothers and is set out to make them by but when his childhood sweetheart, Maggie Gordon, comes into the picture will it change his revenge and give up his hate for love, this has adventure, revenge,betrayal and love. love this book
He certainly lived up to his name!
Very good book, couldn’t put it down.
It was just hard to read with a Scottish accent
Yeah for Elizabeth Rose. She writes stories that grip your heart and imagination. Maggie and Reed are the last of the couples in this series. Reed is the youngest of the triplets and is always causing havoc. Maggie is a girl he has been in love with since childhood. The get back together by accident and immediately realize they still love each other. They have to get married and then embark on a journey of overcoming obstacles to achieving their happiness. All the brothers and other family members are present in the story as the series brings closure and healing to everyone.
Ms. Rose has another winner on her hands. I really liked Maggie and Reed’s story because even though he was consumed by vengeance, he proved that he could focus his agenda other things like loving his family. It also said that family is not always blood and that is very true. I liked the fact that his brothers Rowan and Rook still figured prominently in the story. The only thing I didn’t like was it ended too quickly. I would have liked to seen the king legitimize them. But, as it is with most of History, that didn’t happen very often.
