Last novel in another fine series by Nora Roberts

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2013

The Fall of Shane MacKade is part of a wonderful collection of stories, all linked by four brothers who share common characteristics and yet are quite different from each other. Each is, fundamentally a good, dependable, and inherently lovable and loving man. Yet each is also his own man, with a central strong core of compassion, pride, dependability, heritage, courage, yes, and machismo. Also linking the men is their family history of the Civil War battle fields and forests of 1862 Antietam and a great mansion, imbued with an ancient tragedy and ghosts! Four handsome, nurturing bachelors, each with an inherent streak of male testosterone-laden sexism (which all absolutely deny) meet four women, all of whom carry the scars, experiences, and lessons of their own pasts, and all of whom are determined to create a future for themselves as strong, independent, and fulfilled women, willing to share burdens and lives, but unwilling to be dominated in the process. There is, thus, a similarity among the MacKade novels, yet it is the genius of Nora Roberts which, I believe creates the subtle nuances which allow one to differentiate among the stories and their character while simultaneously connecting the dots that make this series a cohesive unit. You really need to read all four of them, and do please make sure that you read them in the order in which they were written. The cross-references and flashbacks will enhance your pleasure (instead of just confusing you) if you read them in this order: The Return of Rafe MacKade,The Pride of Jared MacKade,The Heart of Devin MacKade,The Fall of Shane MacKade.

By finishing this wonderful story, the series is over. I spent the week rereading one of my favorite series by a favorite author and miss it already. Shane is special character who needs a perfect counter point. Rebecca is quite a contrast to him. I'll let readers decide if they work.

It has been years since I first read this series but it has stayed with me. Nora Roberts is talented in many aspects of creating novels but her dialog soars. Both the mud fight and the brothers in the sheriff's office are unbelievably funny. I reread both of them three times.

A long time ago, I read a review that noted that Roberts' geographic settings act as another character. That is so true in this series which could not have been set anywhere else. Antietem came alive, fascinating, and very impactful to add a fabulous dimension to a basic love story. Robert's basic love stories; not the "others". This is Roberts in her prime. I highly recommend the series -don't read them out of order because the characters all grow and flesh out as it progresses.

Civil War history, ghosts and romance make this an interesting story.

The final book in the MacKade Brothers'. Shane MacKade was a man of the land. He lived on the farm his whole life. He didn't want to believe in the ghost and spirits that haunted the land, so he simply refused to acknowledge it. Enter Dr. Rebecca Knight, described as a brain. She had a photographic memory and a multitude of PHD's and other initials after her name. She was interested in researching all those things that had occurred in Antietam and the farmhouse.
To say Shane was reluctant is an understatement. Shane took Rebecca out to celebrate the birth of a new niece. He challenged Rebecca to play 9 ball. If he wins, they go out and neck in his truck. If she wins, he lets her come to the farm, set up, and investigate without his interference. Rebecca has never played 9 ball before. Can't be hard...right?
Rebecca interviews other family members who have had experiences with the ghosts. While doing this...she and Shane seem to be irresistibly drawn to each other. This is all new for quiet, shy Rebecca who has never been with a man. She decides to experiment with flirtation and see what happens.
This was a fun book to read. I have always liked 'first time' romances. Many people have curiosity about ghosts. I enjoyed reading about their developing relationship and the history of the Civil War as it occurred in Antietam. The 4 book MacKade brother series covers the Civil War and ghosts. Enjoy.

I've read all 4 books in this series. Each was better than the one before it. And I will read them again later this year! It was a lot of fun for each brother to finally get what they thought they weren't looking for!

More than borders on the paranormal

While much of the series is based on the fictional happenings at the Antietam Battleground, this one takes a leap beyond that. While it’s Shane and Rebecca’s story it’s also John and Sarah’s story—Shane’s great grandparents. It’s well crafted and has the requisite HEA.

I liked that Rebecca was not unbelievably beautiful. She was smart and practical. Somewhat immature. More like someone anyone might know.

Oldie but a goodie

THE FALL OF SHANE MACKADE is the last book in the series and centers on the charming and devilish Shane, the youngest MacKade brother. He's playful, earthy, and devoted to his farm and the last thing he wants is to end up in a serious relationship. I loved watching Shane fall because he just doesn't know what hit him when it comes to Rebecca. She's spunky, super intelligent, and doesn't seem to be falling for his charms. It was so great watching these two circle each other while refusing to admit their feelings. I particularly loved Rebecca's mix of awkward nerd and outspoken woman; she's completely turned her life around and is determined to do things that she enjoys instead of always doing what her parents expected of her. Shane and Rebecca seem like an odd pairing on the outside but they really come to understand each other and work as a couple.

The MacCade series has always been one of my favourites. The four brothers such perfect characters, so close, so loyal to each other and always so ready to rumble. The women who come into their lives have to be extra special in order to catch and keep the brothers interest. None more so than Dr Rebecca Knight who comes to town to study the ghosts and the haunted houses. Shane the last of the MacCade brothers still single gets roped in to assist Rebecca in her research and its not long before this consummate ladies man finds himself at a loss and falling head over heels.
