scottish lad...

My dears I must tell you of my new fascination. I am completely smitten with the Author Hannah Howell who writes about, Scotland and the romance that dwells within it.
In each novel there is the Strong male character and the surprising dainty-sharp witted woman. Many of her characters are similar but the plots are all different and unique. Like a regular recipe wi
th a little more spice!
Though the stories are based around the turbulent times of war in Scotland, it is easy for the couple to find each other not only on battle Fields but in a kings castle, or on ememy
lands, the relationship can be arranged or chanced upon. The first initial reaction between the male and female characters is either:childish desire, family relations, kidnapping, even arranged marriages. The male hero is always battle hardened, tall and has rugged good looks, despite scares from the past. Non have scandalous affairs or beat there wives if anything the women are the more aggressive in a caring, possessive sort of way. Oh and I almost forgot the men are almost always possessive and it seems that the females feelings come out though out the novel instead of immediately but not in all of her books. In her latest novel it seems that the story line completely changed yet it still intrigues me. If you want to purchase one of her novels I'll tell you my favorite one of hers, it is Highland Barbarian.
It can be fear and rage in a nunnery or hope and longing at court. The story could be based in the battle ground or in a bed room in the kings castle, all different all unique.I highly suggest this author for she is a true delight.
"till next we meet.
