Summary: Much going on! Awesome book!
Comment: In the books Ruthless charmer and Dangerous Gentleman we saw the stories of Ardian and Julian, two of the four men known as the Rogues of Regent Street. One of the remaining two was dead, Phillip. Now we get to see the story of the last in the group, Arthur! Lord Arthur Christian went to Scotland to tie up the loose ends of a deal Phillip had started before his death. He had no way of knowing that Phillip's partner was also dead. He also had no way of knowing that the widow he had grown to love was the very person he was about to evict! Kerry McKinnon was shocked to learn of her late husband's debts! She went to her rich neighbor, Baron Cameron Moncrieffe, for help. But Cameron was owed money as well. He would only help her if she married his slow minded son. She refused. She ended up killing the son in self defense when he tried to rape her. Arthur whisked Kerry to London to save her from hanging. But Kerry could not live in London. She was out of place and unaccepted. She longed for Scotland, a land that wanted her dead! **** There is much more to this story than I let on. Yet to tell more would ruin it. Here is a story that made my day fly by as I quickly turned pages to see what would happen next! Wonderfully done! **** Reviewed by Detra Fitch

Summary: Fantastic Historical
Comment: It is 1837, and Arthur Christian, younger son of a duke, still holds himself responsible for the death of his friend Phillip three years prior. In and effort to cleanse his soul and sooth his sense of responsibility, he travels to Scotland to tie up some loose ends relating to Phillip's legal affairs.
While in Scotland, Arthur happens upon Kerry McKinnon, a beautiful young widow who is stranded along the road where Arthur is traveling. Circumstances force the pair to return to Glenbaden, the home Kerry is struggling to keep though faced with insurmountable debt.
When tragedy strikes, and Kerry must return to England with Arthur, she comes face to face with the realities separating them. Will their love for one another be strong enough to endure their differences?
Part of the allure of this novel is that the hero and heroine are from such totally different backgrounds, but this ceases to matter as their purpose becomes one in working the land of Kerry's home. Julia London cleverly uses this earthy setting where Kerry and Arthur are able to explore their attraction for one another without the artifice of the London drawing room.
The protagonists are so complex and multifaceted that the reader can almost feel the emotion seeping from every page. For characters and a story to fall in love with, don't miss this latest by Julia London-she's definitely done it again.

Summary: Love is all around in this novel
Comment: I don't believe it possible NOT to fall in love with Arthur Christian (the hero). Arthur is a noble man with no pretense in anything he does. His kindness and sincerity was portrayed exceptionally well, keeping the realistic human behaviour well in check. His boldness in proclaiming his love for Kerry (heroine) is in such a way that when you finish with the book, you would sit there and reflect on the words Arthur spoke throughout the book and the many things he did for Kerry.
Kerry McKinnon was written extremely well too! She is one of my favorite heroines now. Here is a lady who knew exactly what she wanted and never paused in showing her love and her true thoughts to our hero. In many romance novels, the hero would be the instigator in most intimate moments, yet in "A Beautiful Stranger" Kerry knew where she stood and was not afraid to go to Arthur in many circumstances during the story.
"A Beautiful Stranger" was the perfect finale for the "Rogues of Regent Street" series. I don't want to let on too much here so I'll simply say that the plot is quite far off from the average regency romance that you get and it was done perfectly!
To support the story through...to bring it across to the end, the friendship between the Rogues (and you will be touched by it, especially Adrian's part) play an important role, plus the many characters around the couple make this book unforgettable!
