The Fall of Shane MacKade
4.5 Stars
The youngest of the MacKade brothers, Shane has never met a woman he couldn't seduce that is until Rebecca Knight crosses his path. Well aware of his womanizing ways, Rebecca is determined to keep her distance, but the best laid plans are shoved aside when destiny comes knocking.
Definitely the best book in the quartet. Shane and Rebecca have incredible chemistry and their banter is witty and fun. It is wonderful seeing Shane fall for the one woman who doesn't immediately succumb to his charms.
There is also closure to the ongoing paranormal storyline as readers finally discover the identity of the Union soldier who wandered onto MacKade land to die. This is actually the one aspect of the story that disappointed as my personal theory didn't pan out -
All in all, a charming conclusion to the series and it has convinced me to read some of Nora's older works.

I had hoped that the soldier survived and was adopted by the MacKades - alas no...All in all, a charming conclusion to the series and it has convinced me to read some of Nora's older works.
This is my favorite of the MacKade series. I like that bad boy Shane meets up with straight-laced Rebecca. I love how she puts him through his paces in their budding relationship to make him sit up and take more than a passing fancy to her.
I liked the paranormal bits as well.

This was my least favorite in the series. I didn't like the paranormal aspect in this one.
I really feel like this series was the basis for the Inn Boonsboro trilogy.

Lo disfruté bastante, no es la gran cosa pero es entretenido y muy fácil de leer, lo termine en menos de un día. Me gusta mucho como toda esta saga se mezcla con los hechos de la guerra civil y creo que el tema se manejo bien, me hizo llorar para ser sincera. Rebecca es un personaje súper entrañable y ame su relacion con Shane, todo muy romántico y con humor justo como me gusta.
This series has been so adorable! I'm so glad I read it. The hunted places and stories were my favourites.
Shane and Rebecca were so funny. Somehow. I adored Rebecca's attitude. She was a master of disguise. And she tamed the last bachelor in the family (a family that became so big after all).
I love it when a series is not only about romance stories, but comes with something new and captivating. This one deserves 5 stars.

This is a re-read of one of my favorite Nora Roberts series, though it's probably been a decade since I've read any of these books. The Fall of Shane MacKade was always my favorite, and it still is years later. Shane, the youngest MacKade brother and keeper of the family farm thinks that Dr. Rebecca Knight is beautiful, smart, and intriguing, though he doesn't like that she wants to set up her ghost hunting equipment on his farm. A genius with multiple doctorates, Rebecca is just now opening herself up to romantic relationships when she falls for Shane. It's a near-perfect romance, with give and take between the main characters and wonderful relationships between all of the main and supporting characters.
