Scotland and Time Travel - Need I Say More?

1. Hunky, Scottish Knight - Check
2. Spunky modern day woman - Check
3. Manipulative Fae - Check
4. Time Travel - Check
With all my checks in place how could this novel disappoint?  Barbara Longley's "The Highlanders Bargain" weaves a convincing tale of time travel from 15th century Scotland to present day.  Robley of clan MacKintosh literally falls for Erin Durie from the twenty-first century.  But wait, is Erin related to the Fae that sent Robley to her time? Watch as these two learn to trust each other and fall in love in the process.  Loved the back and forth between "time zones" and how modern day medicine finds it way to Scotland of old.  Grab a comfy chair and enjoy!         

Taken by Tuesday

I am thrilled that to say that Catherine Bybee can write modern day romance as well as she does paranormal romance.  I recently had the pleasure of reading "Taken by Tuesday" and was taken on a roller coaster ride of excitement.  It was one of those times when you can't wait to finish the book and yet don't want it to end!  Judy Gardner is a graduate student looking for work in L.A.  Her brother a big time movie star, lets her crash at his swanky place while there.  Enter one cute, smitten, sexy body guard and sparks fly.  Can't wait to read the other days of the week!  J

New Author Find!

Well the longest day of the year is fast approaching - June 21st and it can't come soon enough!
Grab a long cool drink, a lounge chair and grab all of Lauren Layne's novels to read all day in the sun!  After reading "Only with You" I immediately picked up her other novels.
Love this author and her Stiletto Series (After the Kiss, Love the One You're With and Just One Night). Her characters have lots of snappy comebacks!  The women are strong independent go getter's.  I would love to be part of their group!  The story line is strong and you can't put down the book to find out all it all ends.  Can't wait to find out what happens to Emma and Alex in the Stiletto Series. 
One footnote: try reading the books in order you will enjoy them so much more!

I Love me a Scottish Highlander!

Just read Anita Clenney's time travelling, "Heart of a Highland Warrior" which is her 3rd book in this exciting series.  Fair warning: With this series you need to read book 1 "Embrace the Highland Warrior" and the novella "Angus - A Highland Warrior Brief".  There are plenty of characters and without the back story of the first two novels it is too confusing to keep up with this latest installment!  But having said that I thoroughly enjoyed this time travel, fast action packed romance.  Can't wait for books 4 and 5!  Great way to start your beach reading especially if gorgeous time travelling, Scot warriors are your thing.  The woman kick ass in this series as well! 

p.s. There is also "Jamie: Shadow of a Highland Warrior" novella which will enhance your knowledge as well but not necessary to read the latest.
