We let Victoria Roberts take over Book Lovin' Mamas today to talk about her 10 Quick Reasons Why Scots are Better Lovers.
It’s great to be here with you today to celebrate the release of the second book in the Bad Boys of the Highlands series, X Marks the Scot.
10 Quick Reasons Why Scots are Better Lovers
10. Once in the protective embrace of a Highlander, you’ll never want to leave. Those Scotsmen are pretty tough and tempting.
9. They know how to start a fire in the dead of winter—slowly, igniting one ember at a time.
8. Their words can lead to excellent foreplay. Donna ye agree? That brogue is enough to make any lass swoon.
7. No ambience needed. You already have a steamy backdrop for a great encounter. Is there even a bad view in Scotland?
6. Highlanders know how to wield their swords in more ways than one.
5. The men have been known for their prowess on the battlefield as well as the bedroom.
4. Gerard Butler and Sir Sean Connery. Seriously. Need I say more?
3. Highlanders can be disrobed with a flick of the wrist.
2. Their kilts serve multiple purposes—easy access and a plaid to lie upon the ground.
1. Scotsmen are the same as their whisky. Hot, heated, and leaving you wanting more.
Thanks so much for having me today. Sourcebooks will give away one copy of X Marks the Scot (US and Canada only, please.)
Temptation in a Kilt
(Bad Boys of the Highlands #1)
Publishing Date: 9/4/12
Publisher: Sourcebooks Casablanca
Genre: Historical Romance
Description:
"Filled with everything I love most about Highland romance."--Melissa Mayhue, award-winning author of Warrior's Redemption
She's On Her Way to Safety
It's a sign of Lady Rosalia Armstrong's desperation that she's seeking refuge in a place as rugged and challenging as the Scottish Highlands. She doesn't care about hardship and discomfort, if only she can become master of her own life. Laird Ciaran MacGregor, however, is completely beyond her control...
He Redefines Dangerous...
Ciaran MacGregor knows it's perilous to get embroiled with a fiery Lowland lass, especially one as headstrong as Rosalia. Having made a rash promise to escort her all the way to Glengarry, now he's stuck with her, even though she challenges his legendary prowess at every opportunity. When temptation reaches its peak, he'll be ready to show her how he really is...on and off the battlefield.
X Marks the Scot
(Bad Boys of the Highlands #2)
Publishing Date: 2/5/13
Publisher: Sourcebooks Casablanca
Genre: Historical Romance
Book Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1M27gsMb4Ro
Description:
He was a Highland Rogue—Wicked with a Bow and Just as Wicked with the Ladies.
Declan MacGregor hadn't a care in the world beyond finding a soft bed and a willing woman...until he had to escort Lady Liadain Campbell to the English court. The woman needles him at every turn, but he can't just abandon her to that vipers' nest without protection.
She Never Asked for a Bodyguard...
Liadain wasn't thrilled to be left in the care of her clan's archrival. It was as if the man never had a lady tell him no before! And yet as whispers of treason swirl through the court and the threat of danger grows even sharper, her bitter enemy soon becomes the only one she can trust...
Liadain wondered how she could be expected to stay here. The room even smelled of his spicy scent. She would just need to keep reminding herself that he was a rogue—a very handsome one, but a rogue nonetheless.He dropped her sack on the bed, grabbed a blanket, and spread it on the floor. Not speaking a word, he started to remove his courtly attire.
She looked away. Perhaps it was her uneasiness, but the room was getting extremely warm.
“I hope ye donna mind, but I donna wear clothes to bed.” His voice was a soothing murmur that sent a tingling shimmer down her spine.
Not able to stand the awkwardness, she slapped her hands over her face and groaned. “MacGregor! Will ye please?”
“Pray untwist your knotted self, healer. I don my plaid.”
Hesitantly, she lowered her hands and cast him a quick look. His chest was bare and a plaid grazed his hips—very low on his hips, but he was more or less covered.
The man was massive, filled with self-confidence, and he had a ruggedness and vital power that she couldn’t deny. She needed to keep telling herself that even though he was certainly fair of face, he was sinful enough to make any woman—well, every woman—fall under his spell.
He nodded to her sack. “Undress, healer. Surely ye willnae wear your gown to bed. I will turn. Let me know if ye need assistance,” he spoke with an obvious hidden meaning. MacGregor lowered himself to the floor and turned his back—his very broad back.
Liadain froze, staring at the delicious sight before her. If there was ever a perfect specimen for a man, it would be MacGregor.
“I donna hear ye changing your clothes. Mayhap ye do need my help, eh?” He smirked.
He was so arrogant. Looking around for the first thing she could find, she tossed her pillow at him.
He grunted. “Why is it ye keep throwing things at me?”
“If ye would cease acting as a rogue, mayhap I wouldnae need to throw things at ye.”
“I am nae acting.”
