The Many Sins of Lord Cameron Mackenzies Series Jennifer Ashley 9780425240496 Books

Jennifer Ashley's Mackenzie series follows the lives of four brothers who, after being thoroughly abused both physically and emotionally at the hands of their father, find redemption and hope for a happier life in the arms of four good women who are strong enough to help them through their respective troubles. The first in the series was about the youngest brother, Ian Mackenzie who was institutionalized for 'madness' by his father to keep his silence over what he witnessed as young boy. Lord Ian's book, while hard to read at times, is excellent. The second in the series follows Mac Mackenzie, a gifted painter who suffered at his father's hands because he thought that his interest in art made him an 'unnatural.' Although it follows the plot pattern of the first book with little more than a change of names, it is also quite good.

This book brings us to Lord Cameron, who in the previous two books is a secondary character but who is deemed by his brothers to be the toughest among the four. He is slightly bigger than his brothers, is described as physically the toughest, and is a horse trainer which is itself, a physically demanding profession. All of that would seem to indicate that he wouldn't have too much trouble defending himself from the physical assaults of a small, petite woman, specifically his first wife.

In the two previous books and the 4th book about the oldest brother, Hart Mackenzie (I read this book out of order), the abuse has come at the hands of their father. The descriptions of that abuse is horrific and produced a fair amount of angst for this reader. In Cameron's story, the abuse comes at the hands of his first wife, sometimes with his permission. The espoused reason is that he his trying to protect his infant son or acting out of some romantic notion that his patience might be rewarded with a more reasonable wife, but for me it just didn't wash. Cam's abuse at the hands of his wife is pretty terrible and it is hard for me to believe that he couldn't find some alternative way to protect his son, let alone himself. It all just felt unreasonably contrived.

Bottom line: I like angst in a romantic novel, but I like it to be plausible. This was not and as a result, I judge Lord Cameron's book to be the weakest of the bunch.

The Many Sins of Lord Cameron Mackenzies Series Jennifer Ashley 9780425240496 Books Reviews

The thought the book was good. Clearly I am confused on some of the people's reviews. I think they missed what they were reading. They kept saying they didn't understand how a person like Cam could have put up with his first wife's abuse and didn't lock her away. First Cam kept her with him because she got pregnant. She was going to do something to get rid of Daniel, so he had to keep an eye on her. After she had Daniel, he thought she would settle down. She didn't, and ended up killing herself before he could commit her. As far as the abuse goes I did think the burning thing was something he could have stopped her from doing. As for the rest of it, it clearly states she drugged him and then did those things to him while he was passed out. I don't think this was better than The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie or do I think it was worse. I think people really like the first book because Ian was autistic, however I could connect better with Cam because he was not. With Cam at least it seemed more than just sex. Ian with him being autistic it seemed more like he just wanted sex to calm himself. Not that it was a mad book. I applaud her for doing one with someone who is special. I also do not see why people ragged on Ainley for going back to help with the queen.

With that being said you have Ainley trying to get something back for the Queen, you have horse training, a trip to Paris and Monte Carlo, and drama with a horse owner, and the queen. I liked Cam, he was very vulnerable but hid it with all his womanizing, drinking etc.... Isabella is probably the own female I really liked so far in this series. Not that they were bad, I just have not connected with the other females in these books. I like the men best. They have had a rough go of it. Will see what happens in Hart's book. As with the other books there are several sex scenes, but they are not really detailed. Some people may think they are, but they aren't. Also these books are not really exciting but they well written and keep me interested. This series is more of a lord and lady series, and not really a Scottish series even if they are Scottish.

Sex content medium.
Cameron McKenzie is sexy and charming, and he goes through women like a box of tissues. He's also hot tempered, given to rages and black moods, and is only happy on a horse. A confirmed bachelor, Cam is so allergic to marriage, the very word makes him ill. But then, he has his reasons.

Then along comes Ainsley Douglas, one of the most interesting female characters in an HR that I've seen so far. Ainsley isn't the typical retiring Victorian woman; there is nothing conventional about her, except perhaps the way she dresses. She picks locks and solves problems as a fixer for a certain royal personage (who makes an awesome cameo).

It isn't long before she sets about fixing Cam -- and she does it the way she does everything else -- with subtly, intelligence, and style. She is a great character, and Ashley gives her great dialogue.

This is my second favorite book in the series, after Ian's, and in fact, the dynamic between the MCs is similar. Maybe that's why this is my second favorite book in the series!

Do not miss it!

(Note This part of the review refers to the audiobook Angela Dawe sounds a little more strident and rushed at times in this performance. Her reading of the text gives a tension and sense of danger, even when there was no danger imminent. Intrigue, yes. Danger? Well, a little.

She over-did it a bit, which caused me to over-think it, and kept me unnecessarily on the edge of my seat. My advice is to try and relax and enjoy the ride, and don't look for boogeymen everywhere. Now that I know where it's going, I know I'll enjoy it even more the 2nd time, and isn't that a great thing to say about any book?)
