Welcome to Litsy!

Did I listen to this book in anticipation of the end of Draughtlander and because I needed some Scottish 🔥 in my life? Yes.

Does this book make up for its cheesy dumb cover with a solid histfic storyline, perfectly tolerably characters, and very sexy sexy-times? Again, yes.

Romance itch successfully scratched, though Tor MacLeod is (of course) no Jamie Fraser. 😉

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

This book was better than I expected. Usually when writing romance novels about near actual historical events, the relationship of the character suffers. But this book was a good balance of history, storyline, and character development.

I‘m not afraid to say that I loveeed this book! When I read books, I‘m always most intrigued by the love stories. It‘s so nice that this entire book was about the characters emotions and complicated relationship. With a happily ever after. It was just a feel-good book that kept me interested the entire time. I think I‘m hooked on books with hunky highlanders on them too.

I‘m currently going through “droughtlander” and this helped me through it!

Having a little beef jerky with my beefcake this afternoon 😉. Seeing so much Outlander stuff at SDCC last week put me in the mood for some Highlander romance.

"I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing." I love my family. I do. But out of town guests are hard even when it is a short visit. Have not had had enough quiet time and have not read a single page today. So I am going to stay up past my bedtime tonight to make a dent in my book before meeting up with everyone for breakfast. #breakeven #melodicmay

Great start to the Highland Guard historical romance series, which is set in the time of Robert Bruce. If you love Scotland, you'll love this book.

I'm glad I started the series from the beginning when I decided to follow the post on OSRBC about marriage of conveniences. Tor is easily a hero I admire, dedicated, trustworthy, a natural leader respected by his clan. Christina, a young innocent yet selfless girl who decided to throw her fate at the sight of the charismatic man. #osrbc #romantsy

Enjoyed this! The characters were very well written, the love story was hot, and the historical/action portion was good too. 👍🏻

Next up in my highlander to read list...
