Beloved Heart
The daughter of an Oxford professor, artist Callie Wingate has been confined by propriety to lady-like subjects...until she finds inspiration in the wilds of Scotland. He is a noble savage with raven hair and piercing blue eyes...a man driven by instinct and raw passion...a stranger who sends her heart soaring.
Back home in England, Callie finds she cannot forget him. Nor can she ignore Mick Harding, her father's new protégé. A Greek scholar who is everything she scorns most, Mick stirs her in a way she cannot understand. As the fiery cries of rebellion echo across the land...as the Jacobite cause ignites Callie's desires both as an artist and a woman...she will discover the truth about the man she has come to love—and how far will she go to satisfy the passions of her own fiercely yearning heart.

Final book in Mallory Burgess's Beloved series takes awhile to get into but the second half was intriguing and the ending really gave the series some well deserved closure.
Sad to end this series but was impressed with the amount f detail and life Burgess was able to give the history of the Jacobites of Scotland.

A nerdy hero and an artist heroine. I love this book so much, especially the fact that their romance is truly meant to be from the very beginning.

Not as good as the rest of the series.
Maybe it's me, but in a romance novel, I like to know who the H/H are within the first ... oh, I don't know... 150 or so pages. Of course, you know who the heroine is from page one but the hero remains elusive until page 160. You have your suspicions, of course, that the Scottish "savage" you encounter in the first chapter will come back into our heroine's life but certainly not the way Ms. Burgess engineers.
Otherwise, the characters are good, realistic and well-rounded. The plot is a bit thin despite it's excellent historical detail. Certainly not as highly recommended as the rest of the Faurer family books.

This was a good book to end the Beloved Series, but I wish that we had gotten to learn more about the descendants in-between the Faurers and the Hardings.
