Historical Romance Book Tour And ~~Giveaway~~


It's a mad, ill-advised journey that leads the usually sensible Lady Caroline Blacknall to the legendary isle of Muirin Inish, off the windswept coast of Ireland. Even so, she doesn't expect to find herself shipwrecked and then rescued by a man she believed she would never see again. A man who, long ago, held her life in his hands . . . and with it, her heart.

Reformed rake Sir Grant Dunmore knew he could never forget the beautiful woman he once endangered nor will he ever forgive himself. But history seems doomed to repeat itself, for as long as Caroline stays on the island, she is trapped in a secret plot that could forever free Ireland-or turn deadly for all. And yet, now that she is in his arms again, how can he dream of ever letting her go?

This is the next book in the three Sisters series!!

I haven't gotten a chance to read the first book, but the second book was awesome!!!

This book made me soooo happy to read.  In the end of the second book, you don't know what happens to Grant, and that really bothered me. 

In this book you see how he is living now, and how happy he is to see Caroline again!!

The ending was spectacular!!

This is a true feel good romance book!!




A LOVER'S PROMISE
Connor Grant left his first love in the Highlands, vowing to return after serving in the king's army. Seven years later, he is still fighting for the crown, and his victories are legendary-both in the battlefield and in the bedroom. Yet he's never forgotten his bonnie lass. And he certainly never expected to see her amidst the splendor of the British royal court: beautiful, breathtaking, and tempting him past the point of no return.

A LADY'S DESTINY
The night he left, Mairi MacGregor banished Connor from her life forever. Now her heart belongs only to Scotland. As part of a secret alliance, she journeys to London in search of information . . . only to find herself face to face with the one man she swore she'd never trust again. Though Mairi's body still craves Connor's touch, she can't forgive his betrayal. But a traitor lurks in their midst and to protect her beloved Highlands, Mairi must make a leap of faith and join forces with Connor-even if it means losing her heart to him again.


Again, I was soooo excited to read a continuation in a series that I love.

The highlander series talks about many characters in each book, and I can never wait to read the next one to find out what happens to them!!

Paula gives a great description of how the highland ways were, and how one event can change the lives of many.

In this book, Connor and Mairi have a history that they can't seem to shake.

They are both stubborn, and no matter what they think, very much in love!!  Just don't tell them that!!

This is a must read if you have been following the series.  It is also great on its own!!


The second book in the Highland Warriors trilogy, in which three heroes make a pact to insure that a rival clan doesn't take over their glen and cause destruction. At the same time, three women will plot to marry these heroes to help insure peace.

In TEMPTATION OF A HIGHLAND SCOUNDREL, Kendrew Macintosh's reputation precedes him: he wields an ax with deathly precision, strikes fear into his enemies, and lusts after beautiful women. But Kendrew has never met someone whose passion rivals his own-until an unexpected encounter with a mysterious woman. Unfortunately, he soon discovers that the vixen is Isobel Cameron, daughter of an enemy clansman. Their relationship is forbidden and Kendrew breaks away immediately. Isobel has her own scheme. She has lusted after Kendrew for some time and plans to draw the fierce warrior back into her arms. But in the darkness, villainous forces are at play--an enemy is determined to keep the two lovers apart, even if it means death.

I really hate to say bad things about anything, but I had a very hard time reading this book.

It was a very slow read, that had very little action until the end. 

Kendrew was a very stubborn character, who had no real reason to be.

Isobel was kind of flighty, and just couldn't seem to accomplish anything, including landing Kendrew!!

The ending did get a little better though!!



I am very happy to be able to give three of you the chance to read all three books!!

  73. I like your blog design. Very cute. It seems like Highlander romance books have increased in popularity recently. Probably because readers don't know what to do without more Outlander books.
