About THE SEDUCTION OF MISS AMELIA BELL
Edmund MacGregor will do anything to save Scotland from English rule-even kidnap Lady Amelia Bell for ransom. As the daughter of a duke and the chancellor's betrothed, she's the perfect pawn in this game. But from the moment he first lays eyes on his spirited captive, he can't resist stealing a kiss.
Lady Amelia's duty is to marry well, but that hasn't stopped her from fantasizing about true love. So when a sexy Scot appears in her home, she's beguiled. When he kidnaps her, she's furious. Yet as Edmund introduces her to a world of passion beyond her wildest dreams, can she leave her family behind for this handsome Highlander? And will Edmund risk the only true home he's ever known to capture the heart of this lovely lass?
Erin's 3.5 Star Review
While the book started out slow for me it quickly picked up steam. There's plenty of battles, castles & puppies to keep your attention (not to mention hot Scotman Highlanders).

Grabbed my attention from the first chapter & held it until the end. Sorley is all kinds of Scottish hotness. I liked that she gave them enough of an accent that it sounds authentic but is still easy to understand. A fantastic historical!

Hi, Paula and Sue-Ellen! I am looking forward to reading both of your books. I have loved everything Scottish since I saw Mel Gibson in Braveheart. It was so heartbreaking, and the Scots fought so hard for their independence.
ReplyDeleteCathy, I think Braveheart won millions of hearts for Scotland. The film is riddled with historical innacuracies, but it does get the blood racing and stirs incredible emotion. I love it, too. Thanks so much for looking in here.
DeleteHi Cathy, so nice to see you here! Mel Gibson in Braveheart was my very fist inspiration to write as a career!
ReplyDeleteYes, Mel Gibson made my heart go pitter patter in Braveheart. I loved Liam Neeson in Rob Roy too. My oldest dream of a Scotsman has long been Sean Connery...even though I've never seen him star in a movie about Scots! Did he ever? I'll have to check now that I think about it. In any event, I will always love reading a romantic Scots tale, and so I am grateful for your books, Paula, and Sue-Ellen's books. I'm excited about these newest additions of yours. jdh2690@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteJanice, I love Connery, too. Like a fine wine or whisky, he just gets better with age! I can't recall him playing a Scot ever either. ??? He sure is standing tall for the YES! campaign. I love that!
DeleteLoved watching Braveheart and have always been a fan of Liam Neeson. Always enjoy reading books with Scottish characters in them, can just hear those accents as I am reading.
ReplyDeleteJean MP, I love Braveheart, too. The historical inaccuracies in it drive me nuts, but as a Hollywood film, I adore it for the emotional punch. The film did wonderful things for Scottish tourism, the impact still felt today. Love that. Adore Neeson, too. My kind of man: not a 'pretty boy,' but ruggedly handsome. Rough-hewn and earthy. A REAL man. ;)
DeleteMorning, Ladies: Amanda, Heather, & Jennifer! Please accept my apologies for missing the event. I have been off the grid totally all week due to massive work on my home. Only hooked up online again since last night, Thursday.
DeleteThank you so much for hosting us on tour. I fell in love with your blog name and cute banner when I received the list of hosts. Very original! I'm so glad you enjoyed TO LOVE A HIGHLANDER so much and thank you for the great review! No, I do not write Scottish dialect and have been chided for that by some. So it's very refreshing to see a reviewer appreciate a Scottish romance without dialect. Thanks again for the lovely review and for hosting us. This has been a wonderful tour, largely due to the great hosts.
