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.
How much temptation can a Highlander resist? Fierce Scottish brothers shadowed by a dark curse face steamy new adventures in the second book in Kresley Cole’s thrilling new trilogy.
He tried to run….
In his youth, Hugh MacCarrick foolishly fell in love with a beautiful English lass who delighted in teasing him with her flirtatious ways. Yet he knew he could never marry her because he was shadowed by an accursed family legacy. To avoid temptation, Hugh left home, ultimately becoming an assassin.
She tried to forget him….
Jane Weyland was devastated when the Highlander she believed would marry her abandoned her instead. Years later, when Hugh MacCarrick is summoned to protect her from her father’s enemies, her heartache has turned to fury — but her desire for him has not waned.Will passion overwhelm them?
In hiding, Jane torments Hugh with seductive play. He struggles to resist her because of deadly secrets that could endanger her further. But Hugh is no longer a gentle young man — and toying with the fever-pitched desires of a hardened warrior will either get Jane burned…or enflame a love that never died.
WHY I HAVE SO MUCH LOVE?
I ADORED this series and some of the best books this author has written are historical romances. They aren’t very popular unfortunately, but I just breezed through If You Desire. There was something so swoony about this book and boy Cole just makes highlander’s so sexy. This is quirky and funny but very sensual too which Kresley Cole has always been so talented with. We have some great angsty, a second chance trope and fabulous fun moments that makes you smile. I can’t recommend this book or this trilogy enough!!!
I totally need to check out some of Cole’s historicals. I think I have a couple on my never-ending TBR list.
Ooo! I don’t know about this author. I might take you up on this meme. 🙂
Oh neat! I remember this trilogy. Sort of. I need a reread. 🙂
Oh yes. She’s amazing! I have these and still need to get to them. They look fantastic.
