About this audiobook
The third book in the School for Heiressess series, by New York Times bestselling historical romance author Sabrina Jeffries, is a delightfully sexy regency-era romance.
Lady Venetia Campbell's visit to her childhood home in Scotland takes a dramatic turn when she's kidnapped at pistol point by her father's sworn enemy. Sir Lachlan Ross is widely feared in his guise as The Scottish Scourge, but Venetia remembers her former neighbor as a handsome youth whose attentions she craved. Now a wickedly sexy man, Lachlan's appeal is even more intoxicating...and much more dangerous. Though Lachlan tries to treat her as his foe, his scorching kisses tell another story. And despite his plan to use her as a weapon against her father, Venetia is determined that Lachlan's lust for revenge will be trumped by an even more powerful desire...

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Venetia Campbell goes for a visit to her childhood home in Scotland, but at a ball she meets a stranger at the masque ball, and dances with him who rouses up her senses after sharing a sensual kiss that makes her melt into him. But then when she finds herself kidnapped by Sir Lachlan Ross, whom she knew as a young girl. Now the one who is feared as the Scottish Scourge, she still finds him tempting as chocolate, only much more wicked. Lachlan, knows that despite him knowing Venetia as a youth, he knows he must get back to her father for all that he owes him and his clan, for once a prosperous one, now struggling to survive. So he kidnaps Venetia, even though he wishes he had another choice, but knows that this will be the only way to get what is owed to him and to his people, whom he has the responsibility to. So now despite his plans to use her, a fiery passion is discovered between the two, and a tender love that could heal betrayal and hurt of the past.Beware A Scot's Revenge is the third installment in the School for Heiresses series. I have been able to read this whole series, although not in order, and this being my second time reading Beware A Scot's Revenge, and despite it being a couple years since I have read it, I still found myself mystified by such a magical romance. This is my favorite of the series, and I fell in love with both of these in depth characters that were portrayed so well throughout the story. The plot was enticing and exciting, filled with romance, adventure, intrigue and a powerfully portrayed romantic story. This is definitely a first rate romance that will suck you into the story from the first line! So if you have yet to read this one or any books from this author, I would recommend running to the store right now and treat yourself to a 'romantic treasure'.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Another great installment to the School for Heiresses series. I think I like the kidnapping theme, I'll have to look for more of the kind. The romance was sweet and the intrigue, well, intriguing. (3.5 stars)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Sir Lachlan Ross wins the award for book hero I most wish was real! A hunky Scotsman with a sexy accent who will protect his clan at all costs. After being beaten and left for dead at the order of Venetia Campbell's wicked father, he devises a plan to pay the cruel man back for his wrong doings. In addition to owing his clan an incredible sum of money and for turning out the tenants in the beloved highlands, Lachlan knows he will stop at nothing to destroy his beloved Scotland. His clan is suffering hard ship, so Lachlan takes the only thing Lord Duncanon cares about - his beautiful fiery daughter.
Beautiful, witty, and compassionate, Venetia is an easy lure for the devilish Scourge. What Lachlan doesn't count on however, is just how quickly Venetia will manage to get under his skin. With her pretty songs, tender heart, and love of Scotland, he must remember to keep his sworn enemies daughter at arm's length. But when things start to heat up between them will Lachlan's desire for revenge trump an even stronger desire... to be with the woman he loves.
A beautifully written, exciting, and steamy novel, this book excelled from the first word to the last! I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys romance novels, adventures, or men in kilts :) - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Reviewed for queuemyreview.comMy, my, my. Sexy highlanders in kilts! “Beware a Scot’s Revenge” is another winner in Sabrina Jeffries ‘School for Heiresses’ series. Ms Jeffries provides another enticing glimpse into the late Regency period in Scotland--with a braw and rowdy highland laird, a Scottish ‘princess’ who yearns to return to her beloved homeland, and a 16-year-old tragedy that almost derails true love!Venetia Campbell is thrilled to be back in Scotland. It took all her wiles to convince her papa that she would be safe, especially since the dreaded Scottish Scourge is now dead. Then she’s kidnapped by Lachlan, her childhood friend, who turns out to be the outlaw himself! Suddenly, she’s discovering that her dreams of home aren’t quite as she imagined. With Lachlan accusing her father of horrible crimes, her childhood estate being bled dry by an evil overseer, and to top things off, she’s more in love with Lachlan now than she was as just a child. But she’ll be neither widow nor grieving daughter if she has anything to say about it!Lachlan has come up with a desperate plan to get the money Venetia’s father owes he and his clan…he’ll kidnap Venetia and demand her father’s presence with the money. And if the man tries to cheat him again after having him beaten nigh to death…then he’ll kill him, after all this is a matter of honor and clan! But Lachlan didn’t take a few things into consideration. First, he didn’t realize Venetia was smart. Second, he didn’t know what a brave beauty she’d become. Third, he didn’t understand the nature of the debt. And last, he didn’t see how quickly he would fall in love with Venetia. Now he’s trapped by his own plan and can’t see a happy ending. Good thing Venetia has plans of her own.I enjoyed the interplay between these two strong-willed characters as they sparred their way across Scotland. Ms James’ pacing was fabulous and there weren’t any drags in the story or the action. Her depiction of the highlands and the troubles from this time period were perfect for this type of novel. The time of the ‘clearances’ was an absolutely wretched time for the Scottish and I appreciated that she didn’t try to ram this down my throat, but rather illustrated the hardships via characters and actions in the plot. I was pretty impressed with this, as I’ve read many a romance that focused so much on the difficulties of this period that I ended up depressed after I finished the book! She portrayed the hardships without belittling them, but still kept the tone of the book light. “Beware a Scot’s Revenge” was also pretty hot on the sensuality scale. I felt the attraction and the confusion and the indecision of both characters. Each of them had tough choices to make and did so while staying true to the natures she had drawn for each. I’ve enjoyed all of the ‘School for Heiresses’ books I’ve read can’t wait to read the rest.
