Throwback Thursday HR Edition: Come The Morning

by | Sep 20, 2018 | Throwback Thursday | 0 comments

This meme was once hosted at Buried Under Romance and Love Saves The World, and hasn’t been active for a while now. So I decided since I have a fierce love for historical romance, to start it up again. Anyone is welcome to join in if you like because I would love to see your pick of the week for a throwback historical romance that you loved!!

What is Throwback Thursday?
Traditionally, Throwback Thursday celebrates nostalgia, asking participants to post a personal photo or an image from their past — usually from 5 to 10 years ago. There are a lot of book blogs that also do a book-related Throwback Thursday.

The Historical Romance Edition:
Since Tin from Love Saves The World, Mary from Buried Under Romance, are fans of historical romance, this is a way to honor our favorite genre.

Here are our rules:
1. It must be posted on a Thursday.
2. It must be a historical romance novel published before October 3, 2008.

note: Shannon Drake and Heather Graham are pen names for the same author.

Drake researched her own family’s roots in Scotland all the way back to the Middle Ages for this new series, which explores the history and lore of the 12th-century war of the Highlands.

In the days when Scotland lay under siege, King David sought loyal warriors who would fight with their blood and hearts. Waryk de Graham, the greatest of these fighters, was knighted Lord Lion, but his honored position as Scottish chieftain came with a price: a Viking bride who had sworn to resist him in body and spirit.

Daughter of a Gaelic noblewoman and a Viking warlord, Mellyora MacAdin ruled her ancestral lands like a Valkyrie—wielding a sword and bowing to no man—until she found herself an unwilling captive to Lord Lion’s compelling power.

Now, torn between defiance and devotion, Mellyora must decide where her loyalty truly lies…and discover the secrets of her husband’s heart.

Why Come The Morning?

I have a soft spot for this book, I read this one years ago, and for those you don’t know how Shannon Drake, its a pen name for Heather Graham. Shannon Drake wrote old school medieval romances. These are the type of medieval romances that are full of intrigue and history and Come The Morning is one of my favorites. Our heroine is a Knight and a Scottish Cheiftain and the heroine is a Viking and its an arranged marriage. And man, I have such fond memories of reading this one.
