Arnette Lamb was an extremely gifted storyteller and is sadly missed. I've read, as far as I know, pretty much all she had written. Each book is filled with intrigue and intriguingly well developed characters you would have loved to meet. You're drawn into their everyday lives, snippets of history and suspense, all while reading a romance she allows to develop throughout the novel. I recommend anything written by her, she was a master of historical romance.

If you like Scottish Romance, you will like this series. I do say Book 1 &2 follow each other. The third book takes place well before the timeline of 1 &2 and could be a stand alone. I loved reading it!

Dreadful. Unreadable. Inappropriate for the historical context. More silly sexual innuendo than anything else. So sorry I bought the set. Author's idea of character development was lame relying heavily on the romantic lead having some unrealistic impression of how amazing the heroine was just because. Just ugh 😑

You have to hand it to the late Arnette Lamb, she always dropped you right into the middle of the action. Probably one of the best opening sentences I have ever read is that of Chieftain, "Death stalked Clare Macqueen"; I defy you not to read on after that!
I first read Chieftain many years ago and it was that book which really got me into reading historical romances. It rounds out this trilogy and is the best book by far of these three. Clare and Johanna are the illegitimate twin daughters of Alexander III of Scotland. At the age of 13 Clare was wed to Drummond Macqueen, who was subsequently imprisoned in the Tower of London for fighting against the English. Clare, who has borne Drummond a son, Alasdair, is mortally injured in a riding accident and the decision is made for Johanna to take over her identity in order to give Alasdair a safe home as the king has granted an estate to Drummondâ(tm)s widow. Believing Clareâ(tm)s husband to be dead, Johanna takes the boy to the estate where she builds a prosperous home for him and their tenants. Of course Drummond is eventually released when the new king of England takes the throne, and turns up to claim his wife and son, bringing with him an elephant (yes, you read that correctly). Johanna has to convince him that she is Clare, which is unfortunate in a couple of respects for reasons that are made clear as you read the story.
The characters are all well-drawn, particularly Alasdair, who is a wonderful mix of a young chieftain in the making and a naughty boy who tries to shirk his lessons and has a fondness for custards. I didn't quite get on board with a couple of things - for example, Johanna insists that she knows what an elephant is having seen drawings in Alasdair's books. I didn't think it likely that in 1308 Alasdair would have owned a collection of books, still less that any of them would have contained pictures of elephants. And I swear the phrase "good parenting" crops up, which is even less likely than the elephant pictures. Also the king obviously knew that Drummond wasn't dead, so how is it that Johanna was able to take over the estate when she in fact was not Drummond's widow? Minor quibbles but enough to drop it down to four stars.
The other two books in this trilogy don't appear to be related to the above story in any way. Border Lord starts with a prologue set in 1713 when Duncan Kerr helps his friend Adrienne, and her lover Charles, to flee from his nasty neighbour, Baron Sinclair. This doesn't have a lot of bearing on the story until the next book. Anyway, jump forward a few months to meet Lady Miriam MacDonald, a member of the Queen's diplomatic corps. Huh? Is this likely?
Miriam is the sole survivor of her family who were all massacred by the evil Campbells at Glencoe (yes, you can tell which clan I am descended from!) and wants the Queen to bring the Campbells to justice. However, she has offended the Queen before this can happen and as punishment is sent to the Border lands to negotiate peace between the Kerrs and the Sinclairs.
When she meets Duncan Kerr, a widower and the eighth Earl of Kildalton, he is dressed as a fop and fretting about peacock feathers for his fishing lures. Before long she encounters his alter ego, The Border Lord, a sort of rakish eighteenth century Border Batman. She doesn't realise it's him, of course, and starts a sort of feverish after dark romance with him.
Although Miriam is a pretty humourless sort of heroine to begin with, she does get there in the end. Three stars.
As a side issue in Border Lord, they take in a small girl, Alpin, from Baron Sinclair's estate. She is a difficult child and plays a horrible prank on Duncan's young son Malcom whereby she ties him to a tree and puts a hornets' nest under his clothes so they sting his genitals to the point it is feared he will never be able to sire children. Which actually leads into the next story, Border Bride, in which Alpin returns from Barbados where she has been living with Adrienne and Charles, who have both since died. Alpin wishes to claim her rights to the plantation there which Charles owned, so that she can free all the slaves, but Charles has left it to Malcom Kerr.
I didn't enjoy this one very much; Alpin and Malcom came across as vindictive and manipulative people who hold grudges long past their use-by date, so I guess they deserved each other. There's a side romance between Alpin's companion Elanna and Malcom's offsider Saladin, a Muslim. A more annoying character than Elanna would be hard to find, and the underlying suggestion that they are made for each other just because they're both not white is pretty insulting. Also there was a lot of potato eating at a time well before potatoes were anything other than a rarity in Scotland. Two stars only for this book.
