Great Scots and HIghland Heat Blog Tour


Welcome to the Great Scots & Highland Heat Blog Tour! If you enjoy love stories of feisty independent maidens and powerful Scottish warriors, read on.  Forever Romance is sponsoring a giveaway of these two romances.



Highland Hero by Amanda Scott
The blurb:
Lady Marsi Cargill refueses to marry a man who wants her land rather than her love.  To escaper her lineage and accompanies her young cousin -- the future King of Scots - on a secret journey across the Highlands.  Their guide is a mysterious knight known only as Hawk.  Heat flares between the beautiful maid and the brooding warrior, but when Marsi's true identity is revealed, Hawk's desire gives way to fury.

Summoned by the King to guard his son, Sir Ivor "Hawk" Mackintosh now has two royals to protect.  This daring, willful woman has invaded Hawk's every thought, and laid siege to his heart.  Soon the solitary soldier is yearning for a life with Marsi at his side and in his bed. But as their passion grows, so too does the danger surrounding them.  Powerful enemies watch their every move, and to survive, Hawk and Marsi must fight for Scotland's future - as well as their own new-found love.

Review:
Highland Hero gives us a likable hero in Hawk.  One of the bravest and most skilled warriors of his generation.  Hawk is deeply loyal to his King and agrees to hide the young prince to protect him from the the King's younger brother, the Duke of Albany.   As Hawk risks everything to protect the young prince, his attraction to the mysterious Marsi adds just enough humor to the story.

Highland Hero delivers politics, intrigue, and romance.  With Hawk and his circle of Scottish warriors Amanda Scott begins a new series of exciting romance.

The Sinner by Margaret Mallory
The blurb:
Four fearless warriors return to the Highlands to claim their lands and legacies.  But all their trials on the battlefield can't prepare them for their greatest challenges yet: winning the hearts of four willful Scottish beauties.

Alex MacDonald is knownn for his skill as a warrior, his prowess with women, and his vow to never take a wife.  But now his chieftain has asked him to make the ultimate sacrifice:  wed Glynis MacNeil, a lass famed throughout the Highlands for her exquisite beauty -- and defiant ways.

Familiar with heartbreak and betrayal, Glynis refuses to fall for another handsome scoundrel. Yet when Alex's past sins force their unlikely union, Glynis gives in to temptation and becomes his wife.  Will their newfound passion be strong enough to fight the enemy that threatens their home, their clan, and their very lives?


Review:
While Highland Hero  mixes high politics and the struggle for the Scottish crown, The Sinner focuses on the two romantic leads.

Alex is forced to ally himself with a powerful family to protect his clan.  Glynis's family is pressuring her to do the same.  But Glynis is young and high spirited and determined to marry for love.  So, she plays tricks to discourage her suitors, tries her best to avoid Alex.

Alex is attracted to Glynis's spirit, humor and beauty. It is clear from the start that Alex and Glynis are destined for each other. The obstacles, uncertainty and misunderstandings only add to the fun of their love story.  Margaret Mallory gives us another fun escape in The Sinner.
