Mary joins us today from her seaside home in Scotland while she's on tour for her medieval romance novel, Rebel of Ross . This wonderful book blog tour is organized by Historical Fiction Virtual Book Tours. Malcolm MacHeth, one time Earl of Ross, languishes a prisoner in Roxburgh Castle while his sons raise rebellion in his name. Optimistically, the King of Scots promises the earldom of Ross to landless Norman knight, Sir William de Lanson, if he can somehow defeat the infamous MacHeths. It wasn’t quite how William’s disgraced wife Christian dreamed of coming home. Capture by the strange and ferocious Adam MacHeth was hardly part of her plan either, although she and William quickly become pawns in his. Adam, warrior and seer, fights for his father’s freedom and for his family’s right to claim the kingdom of the Scots. Plagued by waking dreams which threaten his sanity and his life, he’s learned to use his prophecies to further his family’s goals. But when he abducts his enemy’s lady, his dreams and his desires are suddenly more personal. Surrounded by intrigue, ambition and betrayal, Christian must choose between loyalty and love in order to keep a fragile peace for her people and for the man she loves beyond all reason. Publication Date: August 4, 2016 eBook & Paperback; 340 Pages Genre: Historical Fiction/Historical Romance/Medieval ENJOY AN EXCERPT FROM Rebel of Ross Inside, an upturned cask had become a table between two rough stools. The booth was plunged into gloom as the curtain closed out the sunshine. Setting down her cup, she sat on one stool as if perfectly at ease and lifted her gaze to Adam MacHeth. He stood just inside the curtain, watching her with a curious, wary expression that told her she’d surprised him. “I congratulate myself,” she said sardonically. “I understand it isn’t easy to surprise a man with second sight.” He stirred, walked past her to the back of the booth. “Who told you that?” He reached up to a shelf, taking down a flagon and a cup. “Is it true?” Christian asked. “Is what true?” He set down the cup and poured wine from the flagon. “That you have second sight. Or are you just a berserker like the old Vikings?” He eased his large body down onto the stool. His knee brushed against her skirts. “A lady of your education knows there’s no such thing as second sight.” She smiled deprecatingly. “And you despise ladies of such education.” His eyebrows flew up. “I don’t despise you.” For some reason, that brought colour seeping into her face. To cover it, she lifted her chin in challenge. “Then you’re a berserker after all?” “Why should you think that?” She shivered, seeing again the men she knew cut down by his sword, trampled beneath his merciless boots. “The way you fight.” His eyebrows twitched. “That.” One dismissive hand seemed to wave her accusation out through the closed curtain. “It’s a mask. Not unlike yours.” She stared at him, wondering what on earth he’d ever had in his life to hide from on the battlefield. She had to press her lips together to stop herself asking. She hadn’t come in here to discover such things. Giving herself time to regroup, she raised her cup and sipped. “Why did you let us have Tirebeck?” she asked abruptly. He stirred. “For my brother.” “You’d have got your brother back just for me.” "That’s not what you said at the time. According to you, I wouldn’t have got a chicken for you, never mind the Earl of Ross’s heir.” “But you didn’t believe me. Why then give us Tirebeck?” “Tirebeck is yours.” She set down her cup, meeting his whirlpool gaze. For some reason, that wasn’t so difficult now. “To keep us contented. To keep the king unsuspicious and unaware of whatever it is you truly intend.” A smile flickered across his face. He didn’t look afraid. “Galleys,” she said. Neither of them blinked. Without looking at it, he swirled the wine in his cup. “I apologise for exposing myself. What is it you really want to ask me?” The heat of embarrassment surged through her body at the memory of his. He had seen her in the boat. But, determined not to back down, she hung on to his dark gaze. “How did the old hall at Tirebeck burn down?” His gaze dropped to his wine. His hand stilled, then raised the cup to his lips. He drank and lowered the cup before he looked at her again. “Rhuadri burned it. The day you left.” Her father had burned it himself? She frowned in the effort of memory. After all, she’d only been three years old. “The day we left? Why did we leave?” Adam shrugged. “You don’t want to tell me,” Christian discovered. “You don’t want to know. It wasn’t that fire that injured you.” Before she could prevent it, her hand flew up to her mask. Old Eta, the fisherman’s wife, had mentioned another fire too. He said steadily, “You were knocked into the hearth fire during a fight. When you were a baby. More than two years before you left.” Her ears seemed to sing. All the blood which had rushed into her face drained away. She’d always assumed it was the fire she remembered which had injured her. The memory was associated with such fear and pain. No one had told her otherwise until now. She lifted the cup to her mouth and lowered it again untouched. “Who?” she whispered. “Who was fighting?” “Your father and a Norman knight sent by the king to take my father after Stracathro.” Stracathro… The battle by which King David had defeated the rebellious young Earls of Moray and Ross. The Earl of Moray had died in battle, but his brother, Malcolm MacHeth, Earl of Ross, had escaped and eluded capture for another two years. The king had deprived him and his sons of the earldom, outlawed the family, and when Malcolm was finally captured, he was imprisoned in Roxburgh Castle, almost as far away from Ross as you could get without leaving the kingdom. “So I was injured by my father defending yours,” she said a little shakily. “No wonder my mother never told that story. It wouldn’t have looked good to the King of Scots.” His eyes fell. He had very long lashes. “It’s past. It shouldn’t affect your future.” She straightened her shoulders, regarding him with a touch of mockery. “So you do have second sight.” “That was only common sense.” She wasn’t sure what made her do it. Mere curiosity, perhaps, or pique. Her gaze lit on his big, scarred hand, abstractly swirling his cup. She reached out and seized his hand as if to still it. It jerked, slopping the wine over the barrel, but that wasn’t enough to dislodge her fingers, and she hung on. “You don’t like to be touched, do you?” she said, holding his startled gaze. “By some.” His stormy eyes darkened further. “I like your touch.” Which wasn’t quite what she’d intended, although she’d brought it on herself. Flushing, but forcing herself not to snatch her hand back, she asked, “Do you see things?” His breath rushed out on what might have been a laugh, quite at odds with the burning of his eyes. Without warning, his hand twisted, curling his fingers around hers. “Many things.” Books & Benches Review for Rebel of Ross "A truly endearing love story set during a fascinating time and in a spectacular setting, Rebel of Ross offers readers of medieval romance everything they could possibly want."

A READER'S OPINION A romantic story of second chances! I have really enjoyed two stories written by Dawn Brower, but this time, with One Heart to Give , the first story in the Heart's Intent series, this author has truly outdone herself on the emotional side. This romantic contemporary is so touching that it will take you on a roller coaster ride of ups and downs; you'll feel sad, and wish for hope and happiness for the two main characters. Give this story a chance. You won't be disappointed!  It tells the story of Daniella Brosen, an orphan who felt rejected and became very selective when choosing her friends. Until one day, a beautiful friendship blooms between her and her dear friend Rendall Sousa, but sadly, he wasn't hers to love—he belonged to another. Feeling hurt again, she left him to make a fresh start. Ten years later, destiny brings them back together. When they meet again, they discover that the power of attraction is mutual and very much alive. Ren had loved Dani so much that he had never forgotten her. Will she leave again? Can a new relationship be possible after ten years? Will they get a second chance? Will they forgive, trust and understand each other in order to move on with their lives? Will sparks flare and ignite another beautiful passion? Beautiful surprise ending that I didn't expect! One Heart to Give is emotional, touching, very well written and so romantic! I really recommend it! Be sure to watch for her next story, Unveiled Heart.

Circumstances beyond her control tear them apart, and she has no choice but to leave him behind. When Daniella left without a word it broke Ren's heart. If she'd given him a chance, he'd have told her how much he loved her. Dani was everything to him, but she made her choice. There was only one course of action left to him--move on without her. As their lives become intertwined again, can Ren convince her he's always loved her or will she push him away forever?  ​ Series: Heart's Intent, Book One Genre: Contemporary Romance | Release: July 12, 2016 | 217pp Format Read: E-Book | Source: Provided by the author or publisher #AReadersOpinion #ContemporaryRomance #2016Review

A Reader's Opinion A delightful story wrapped with romance and charm in a lovely setting. Riverbend Road is book four in the Haven Point series, and I thought it read well as a stand-alone novel. I enjoyed some of the secondary characters enough that now I want to read their stories! Wyn and Cade are a great match, and I especially liked Cade's character. There were times when I thought their reasons for staying apart weren't as difficult as they made them out to be, and the chemistry wasn't always apparent, but their struggle to admit and accept what was between them was worth it when they finally came together. The secondary storyline with Wyn's neighbor is a nice addition to the book, and helped serve to both distract and bring together Wyn and Cade. Riverbend Road is a clean and enjoyable read for anyone who enjoys a touch of romance.  Book Description Return to Haven Point, where New York Times bestselling author RaeAnne Thayne proves there's no sweeter place to fall in love…  Protecting the streets of Haven Point isn't just a job for police officer Wyn Bailey, it's a family tradition. But lately she's found herself wanting more, especially from her boss—and overprotective brother's best friend—sexy chief of police, Cade Emmett. The only problem is getting Cade to view her as more than just a little sister.  Cade's hands-off approach with Wyn isn't from lack of attraction. But his complicated past has forced him to conceal his desire. When Wyn is harmed in the line of duty, Cade realizes the depth of his feelings, but can he let his guard down long enough to embrace the love he secretly craves? ​ Series: Haven Point, Book Four Content Rating : 2 Hearts BUY AT AMAZON | VIEW OUR RATING SYSTEM Contemporary Romance | Pub: June 21, 2016 | 368pp | HQN Books Format Read: Mass Market | Source: Reviewer purchased #AReadersOpinion #ContempoaryRomance #wholesomeromance #2016Review

A Reader's Opinion It is the most touching story I have ever read! A Splendid Boy , written by talented storyteller, Melanie Martin, is a captivating and very touching story of two beautiful souls who became heroes at the Battle of the Somme during the First World War. Their love for each other was so powerful that it survived the horrors and atrocities of the war. I'm overwhelmed with emotions, and I even cried during certain passages. A Splendid Boy is a little gem to discover! In the summer of 1914, two young people—Daniel and Emma—fell in love. To save his family from financial problems, Daniel leaves Emma and enlists in the Newfoundland Regiment to be sent to England to battle in war.

As soon as I started to read this touching story, I immediately got pulled into Daniel and Emma's beautiful journey of hope! Ms. Martin's research is well detailed and well written. This author is a very descriptive writer. I really enjoyed this dramatic story!

A READER'S OPINION This is the second book I've read by Thomas, and I have to say I enjoyed it even more than the first, and that had everything to do with the two main characters—Jubilee and Charley. I like wounded warriors and heartbroken heroines who are still strong and determined enough to change their lives around for the better. The addition of Lillie and Thatcher are great, and although I could have done without Lauren's point of view, Jubilee and Charley more than made up for it. Lone Heart Pass is a beautiful and tender story about hope, love, and second chances. The book is squeaky clean, and at the same time packs on the heat and passion in the form of soft touches and sweet kisses with everything else happening behind closed doors. I happily passed this book along to another reader and recommended it to family. Rating : 4.5 Stars | Content Rating : 2 Hearts BUY AT AMAZON | VIEW OUR RATING SYSTEM BOOK DESCRIPTION Where family bonds are made and broken, and where young love sparks as old flames grow dim, Ransom Canyon is ready to welcome—and shelter—those who need it. With a career and a relationship in ruins, Jubilee Hamilton is left reeling from a fast fall to the bottom. The run-down Texas farm she's inherited is a far cry from the second chance she hoped for, but it and the abrasive foreman she's forced to hire are all she's got. Every time Charley Collins has let a woman get close, he's been burned. So Lone Heart ranch and the contrary woman who owns it are merely a means to an end, until Jubilee tempts him to take another risk—to stop resisting the attraction drawing them together despite all his hard-learned logic. Desperation is all young Thatcher Jones knows. And when he finds himself mixed up in a murder investigation, his only protection is the shelter of a man and woman who—just like him—need someone to trust.

A READER'S OPINION The book blurb summarizes the story perfectly, so there's no need for that here. I will say that my lack of sleep one night can be entirely blamed on Kaki Warner. I picked up "Where the Horses Run" for my usual hour of reading before bed. It turns out that I couldn't stop at one hour. In true Kaki fashion, nothing in this story is sugar-coated. You smell the dust and sweat, feel the tears and heartache, and your heart pounds when you know two people should just stop being stupid and be together. There was a bit of talk about 19th-century contraceptives—something I've noticed in books lately—that I could have done without, but it was over quickly. I loved how much of the story centered around horses. I know the title pretty much says that, but it's done so well. I completely fell in love with the stallion, Pems, and wanted to take care of him as much as Rayford and Josephine. Josephine's father was quite unlikable as intended, and her son was adorable.  I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys a nice twist to a western story, and especially those who enjoy horses with their romance books.

A READER'S OPINION Heartsong Cottage is like a gentle breeze in a tumultuous world. I picked this book up because it made me think of Christmas, though I didn't get a Christmas vibe while reading.  This is the first book I've read by Emily March and it won't be the last! I really like her writing style, character development, and description of the settings. I felt as though I was there in the Colorado Rockies. I liked Shannon O'Toole all the way through. She's resilient, hard-working, and blends well with the other characters. I liked Daniel Garrett—a lot—up until one point in the story because of something he said. I find some actions easier to forgive than words. After that, I kind of liked him, but I lost all respect for him as a character, so that was a letdown, but I still enjoyed the romance. The secondary characters are absolutely delightful, and I imagine the entire series would be worth reading. The author did a great job creating the community and surrounding area. A big bonus is that the book is nice and clean while still offering up a sweet and believable romance culminating in a satisfying ending.  Rating : 4.5 Stars | Content Rating : 1 Heart BUY AT AMAZON | FIND AT BOOKSHOP.ORG VIEW OUR RATING SYSTEM BOOK DESCRIPTION Daniel Garrett is no stranger to heartache or tragedy.

A Reader's Opinion Mrs. Drew played every hand exceptionally well, and so did author Carla Kelly. I lay in bed reading this book and actually caught myself smiling many times. I couldn't remember the last time I had so thoroughly enjoyed a book. Roxanna Drew is an absolutely delightful and endearing heroine. Her strength, resilience, and love for her daughters is beautiful. The relationship she has with her children is so wonderfully written and each of them have very distinctive personalities, yet at the same, you can clearly tell they are related. Our lovely Fletcher, or Lord Winn and he's know for most of the book, is charming, straight-forward, and fun! Yes, he is so much fun. Despite his moments of seriousness and stubbornness, he's wonderfully fun and the relationship between he and Roxanna is not only sweet, but they truly enjoy each other. I laughed with them many times. The love is not instant between them, but rather a friendship that grows into an affectionate bond between two people who respect and care for one another. The love story is indeed lovely and develops at a very nearly perfect pace. It's also a wonderfully clean historical romance! The setting is just as it should be. The descriptions of the dower house and manor are clear, but not too detailed as to distract from the story. The trek to Scotland--excellent! You'll have to read it to know what I'm talking about. This is one of the best regency romances I have ever read, and I don't say that lightly. My only disappointment is that it had to end. Mrs. Drew, Lord Winn, and Carla Kelly get five stars and then some.    Book Description After her husband's death, Roxanna Drew is left with more beauty than fortune. Now, desperate to escape the perils of her past life, she must learn to trust the dashing Lord Winn---a broken man with a past of his own. This award-winning romance by bestselling author Carla Kelly is a moving and memorable book you won't be able to put down. ​ Content Rating : 1 Heart BUY AT AMAZON | VIEW OUR RATING SYSTEM Historical Romance | Pub: Sept 11, 2012 | 368pp | Sweetwater Books Format Read: Paperback | Source: Provided by the publisher #AReadersOpinion #HistoricalRomance #wholesomeromance
