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.
PROTECTING HER WAS HIS PASSION
High-born though she is, Kate Campbell isn’t afraid to draw her sword. When raiders strike, she rushes into the fray…and is lucky when a mysterious Highlander shields her from a deadly blow. Swept onto his stallion, she soon discovers that her rescuer is her clan’s most hated enemy: Callum MacGregor, the man they call The Devil. Yet she cannot ignore his achingly tender touch or the way his fiery gaze leaves her breathless.
POSSESSING HER WOULD BE HIS PLEASURE
Callum MacGregor has taken many Campbell lives, but he’s never saved one–until now. Mesmerized by this spirited lass, he wants her by his side, even if it means holding her for ransom. As his fingers graze her sumptuous curves and tangle in her unruly tresses, Callum realizes Kate Campbell is his most dangerous foe of all. For he can’t make love to her without betraying his kinsmen and his honor…and surrendering his heart forever.
Why Laird of the Mist is a must read?
This is a book that packs in all the punches. I just LOVED everything about this book. When I read it a few years back…it was a FIVE STAR READ!! That is how good this book really is. Warrior Heroine, Sexy Alpha Scotsman, in depth historical details and some intense battle scenes and some swoony love!! What more do you ask for in a historical romancec right? So grab this one up because you will love it.
Another author that I’ve never read but always meant to.
I just love Scottish settings as well as the starcrossed lovers trope… So this sounds absolutely promising!
And a five star read, eh? I’ll definitely check it out, even if it’s not my usual kind of read I’m hoping to broaden my horizons and, who knows?, maybe find something really sweet 🙂
Great post!
Oh yes…Scottish settings are just the best!! I can never get enough of them. Probably why I could never get bored with a highlander setting.
There aren’t enough 5 star reads in the world 🙂
For What It’s Worth
There REALLY isn’t right? And this book definitely deserved them and is so underrated.
It’s been a while since I’ve read a good historical romance. The fact that you gave it 5 stars and it’s stuck with you years later… I need to add this to my GR list.
