A review by jonetta
In from the Cold by Nora Roberts
3.0
Ian MacGregor, firstborn son of Coll and Maggie, immigrated to the colonies and lives in Boston. Angered by the King’s new taxes, he participates in the infamous Boston Tea Party but is injured during his getaway. Barely astride his horse in a snowstorm, he stumbles upon a barn and falls unconscious into the shelter. He’s discovered the next morning by Alanna Flynn, a widow and daughter of the owner, Cyrus Murphy. She helps nurse him back to health but not before they’re equally charmed by one another. But, he represents a future she wants no part of...a commitment to the eventual conflict with England, a war like the one that killed her oldest brother.
Ian and Alanna have a passionate but volatile relationship. I liked the story but there just wasn’t enough beyond their romance to make this a more interesting read. I wearied of the constant back and forth about the same issues. I also liked both characters but their situation was too one dimensional in comparison to earlier stories in the series.
