This time she had me from word one. Ms. Brockway had spun such good takes with Ash and Raine that by the time I got to Fia I simply couldn't wait to find out what would happen with her and Thomas. This book was great and the little twist at the end (you might find hints of it throughout the trilogy) was perfect. Review: 4 and 1/2 stars! Worth the Wait: 3rd in Trilogy a Worthy Finish to this Scottish Historical - This is the third in Brockway's McClairen's Isle trilogy (THE PASSIONATE ONE, 1999; THE RECKLESS ONE, 2000, and THE RAVISHING ONE, 2001). I loved the first two and gave them 5 stars. This last one is another enduring Scottish historical for the "keeper" shelf. Important backstory for this last in the trilogy: The three books tell the stories of two brothers and a sister, Scottish by their mother, Janet McClairen, and English by their father, the charming, selfish, ruthless Ronald Merrick, now earl of Carr. Many years ago, Merrick fled his debtors in London to come to McClairen's Isle in the Highlands. He came to woo the clan, and gain the Isle, but ended up winning the laird's cousin, Janet. She gave him two sons and a daughter and then mysteriously died falling off a cliff. Later, Merrick gained McClairen's Isle as his own, as well as the title of earl of Carr, by betraying the clan to help the English at Culloden. But his first wife's relatives who survived wanted revenge. Though they wanted to capture Lord Carr, they captured only his sons. The Scots didn't want to kill them (they were Janet's sons and half Scottish), so they were sent off to prison in France. Ash, the oldest son, was freed when his father paid the ransom, but Raine was left there to rot because he looked like his mother and Carr couldn't bear to look at him. Raine was finally freed as a result of a young McClairen woman's help--the same woman who saved his life years earlier. Carr never had much time for his half Scottish sons though he carefully groomed his daughter, Fia, with the idea to marry her off to the suitor who would do Carr the most good. At 15, Fia fell in love with Tom Donne, a Scot who had attached himself to McClairen's Isle, no one aware he was the heir, a McClairen, and a former Jacobite. Tom spurned both Fia and her family, calling them evil. It was a revelation to Fia, but she took it seriously and it changed her view of her father and her life. Fia became a seductress while having no man. She developed a plan to become independent of her father and later, goes to London at the invitation of some friends for her first Season. Without her father knowing, she eloped with an old, wealthy Scot thinking when he died, she'd inherit. But her husband failed to tell her he had two children--heirs. When her old husband dies, she continued to live at his Scottish home, Bramble House, until the day her father showed up and told her he owned it. Ever manipulating her, Lord Carr still intends to wed her to the highest bidder. But Fia will thwart that plan by spreading rumors she is a jezebel. Then Tom Donne comes to London. He loathes Fia and what her family has done to so many and, to remove her influence form his best friend, he decides to abduct her and take her to McClairen's Isle, which he now owns and is rebuilding. You have to feel for poor Fia. She has been played by so many for so long. All of London thinks she's a jaded woman, but inside, she is an innocent girl with a compassionate heart and great passion, as Tom will discover. Brockway writes well, her words, phrases and dialog capturing the time period. She has wonderful tag lines that put you in the moment. She uses wonderfully descriptive language so that you see each shadow cast by the moonlight and hear each cricket. It is a well-woven plot, the story is believable and the passion and conflict between the hero and heroine convincing. Some of the reviewers thought Tom was too weak. I don't agree. He was a strong man who rose to each challenge life threw at him. Once he and Fia go to Scotland, they both change. She drops her mask and becomes more the innocent lass she is; he becomes tender in response. Without giving away too much, While Tom had a weakness for Fia, his weakness was just that of a man in love. While perhaps not quite as good as the first (which I rated 5 stars), I did like this one very much. Tom and Fia are a well matched pair (another Merrick and a McClairen). It ties up a lot of loose ends and truly finishes the story of McClairen's Isle. We see more of Fia's brothers, learn more of Carr's deep perfidy, and finally, all comes right in the end--and with a twist! I recommend it and suggest you read the books in order. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0440226309 | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,818,293 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,486 in Highlanders Romance #260,064 in Genre Literature & Fiction | | Book 3 of 3 | McClairen's Isle | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (175) | | Dimensions | 4.15 x 1 x 6.7 inches | | Edition | 2d ptg. | | ISBN-10 | 9780440226307 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0440226307 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 384 pages | | Publication date | July 11, 2000 | | Publisher | Dell | ## Images ![McClairen's Isle: The Ravishing One - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hjJ7t5rwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great way to wrap up the Clan McClairen trilogy *by C***E on March 5, 2015* Normally I have to work through the 1st few chapters to really get into her books.

Great characters all around, including a villain who was very humorous with his pompous mannerisms. Connie Brockway is a great writer and I really hope she continues to write more high quality historical romances. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/110303850-mcclairens-isle-the-ravishing-one](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/110303850-mcclairens-isle-the-ravishing-one) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
