Rhapsody and Rebellion: Once Upon a Widow (Enduring Legacy Book 7) by Aubrey Wynne – Review by Erin Davidson

Rhapsody and Rebellion by Aubrey Wynne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rhapsody and Rebellion: Once Upon a Widow, is the seventh book in the Enduring Legacy series. An anthology series that tells the tale of a Scottish family and their descendants, that are blessed with three magical gifts; sight, empathy, and Truth. The gift is passed down the family, often skipping generations and only coming forward in a time of great upheaval. And with England and Scotland always at each other’s throats, the family must hide their gifts from those that wish to destroy them. In Rhapsody and Rebellion: Once Upon a Widow, Aubrey Wynne tells a harrowing tale set in the Scottish Highlands in the 19th century. The story follows Gideon, Earl of Stanfield and his principled black and white view of the world, that begins to falter when his mother tells him of her eerily accurate dream foreseeing his cousin’s death. Thus causing them to travel back to his mother’s ancestral home in Scotland, where he meets a recently widowed Alisabeth. Could it be love at first sight, or just a simple flare of lust between them?
This series is a perfect read for fans of Outlander, and lovers of historical fiction. Wynne did excellent research for the story does not make any inaccuracies and her tale. I really enjoyed the story, but found it to be a little short. I would have loved to have more, and really space out Gideon and Lissie’s relationship, as it did come across rather rushed and fast. But if you’re looking for a quick steamy story with Scottish Highlanders, then this is perfect for you.
Overall I gave this 4/5 stars!
