Pamela Clare's Defiant

I loved it as usual. Read it straight through and let my daughter watch way too much television to do it. I'm always sad to finish her historicals because with all her work in other genres we have to wait so long for the next one.

I'm a little extra worried this time because her afterword seemed very goodbye-ish. She is going to write more in the series, isn't she? I want to read Joseph's story and most of all I want to see her redeem Wentworth. I've been hoping for that since the first book. He's a wretch, but there's something about him that just won't let me give up hope.

I haven't read it yet, but I have ordered it and hope to fit it in this month.

I feel the same about Wentworth. I'm not so much hoping for redemption as a heroine who is just as conniving and can give him a run for his money.

I stopped reading this series because of the torture scenes. How would you rate the violence?

It's fairly violent but it's more fighting than torture in this one.

I finished Defiant today and thought it was great. Pamela Clare tells such a good story. I do hope there are more books to come - please!!! I have reread Surrender, Untamed, and Ride the Fire (from the other series) so often I need new material. Let's hope she does have a story for Wentworth and Joseph in her.

She left Wentworth kind of hanging so maybe there is hope.......

I really enjoyed Defiant (5 stars) and in my opinion it's the best so far in the series.
Pamela Clare has said there will be more books and the next will be Joseph's story.

i loved this one, too! i first read pamela's books when i discovered her I-team series, romantic suspense about investigative journalists in colorado. when i finished those, i moved on to her historicals, the MacKinnon series. they're every bit as detailed as everything else of hers that i've read. i love the MacKinnon brothers, the unusual setting, the knowledgeable discussion of warfare, the luscious love scenes, and the ambiguous character, Wentworth!
