It is such a pleasure to host Donna Grant--author extraordinaire and all around fabulous person! She's talking about Highlanders and her latest installment in her terrific series. And...there's a giveaway so be sure to leave a comment (with email addy, please!)! Enjoy!
Highlanders
I’m glad to be back at Erin’s blog. Not only is she a wonderful person, but I’m in love with her books! She has such a beautiful way with words that sucks me into her worlds instantly.
Hmm…Highlanders. Just saying the word makes me envision muscular, alpha men who are bold and daring. Seductive and tempting. Rugged and roguish.
What makes Highlanders so very. . . enticing? For me its part of the people they were/are. They are one with their land as few are. Their love of Scotland runs deep in their blood as is seen by their bloody and violent history defending it.
Yet it’s also because there is something amazingly appealing about a man in a kilt. Maybe it’s a getting to see those muscular legs or knowing what they are – or aren’t as the case goes – wearing beneath those tartans. J
But I think its because there’s a look a Highlander has that says he’s tough enough and strong enough for whatever comes his way.
There’s nothing I love more than a brawny man in a kilt with a sword ready to defend what is his.
What is it that appeals to you about Highlanders?
I’ll be giving away a copy of the third book in my Dark Sword series, WICKED HIGHLANDER to a commenter. So talk to me. J
Look for my upcoming release on April 27th, the fourth book, UNTAMED HIGHLANDER.
DEVIL IN THE FLESH
Druid-born and magic-blessed, Isla is one of the deadliest she-devils ever to serve the forces of darkness. As an immortal Highland warrior, it’s up to Hayden Campbell to destroy her and her kind. But for Hayden, Isla is more than a sworn enemy. She is temptation...ANGEL IN HIS ARMS
Taking Isla captive, Hayden hopes to avenge his kinsmen who died by Druid magic. But when he looks into Isla’s eyes, he sees the secrets of her past. When he touches her skin, he feels the passion in her soul. And soon Hayden comes to realize that this beautiful, beguiling woman is not his enemy at all—she is his destiny. And, even as the forces of darkness conspire against them, their love will conquer all...To find out more about me, please visit my website at www.DonnaGrant.com.

Hey Donna!
Just wanted to give you a shoutout. I can not wait to get your book on my nook tonight. I love your Highlanders/Warriors. Here is to sales going through the roof.
Highlanders - Well they seemed to be intune with their surroundings, they embraced the heritage from language to the old ways passed down, and yes those kilts. Rawr
New follower :) Sent by Dangerous Women :D Well, got an email anyways and it made me curious :)
What is it that appeals to you about Highlanders?
For me personally I think what appeals to me most about Highlanders is that we just don't have men like that in our current age/technology. There is just something appealing about having this strong, sexy, alpha in a kilt that loves you and adores you and treasures you.. I'm sure they had more active erm love life's as well... Like hello? No internet back in the day so they made babies lol :P Never read yours but I'll add it to my TBR list because even though I like paranormal I can't resist a good Viking or Highlander book :) email is swtlilangel4jc At yahoo dot com.
I love how fierce and protective Highlanders are. They are the ultimate Alpha males. They also have that charming brogue! ;)

First of all, I LOVE YOUR BOOKS!! Highlander, just the word makes me all tingly! I true love that rugged, big strong man that can also be totally devoted to the love of his life! The kilt is a plus also!!
OHHh I love your HIghlanders!!! Congrats on the release I can't wait to get my hands on this one. As for loving Highlanders, I think for me it's partly in the blood. As I'm part Scottish and there's something about highlanders, all that strong alpha energy and loyalty and good looks!!! It just all appeals.

Hi donna. I can't wait to read your new book! Highlander's are just sooo sexy. So stong and sure of themselves. Plus that scottish accent makes my knees go weak :)
Erin and Donna, First off let me say both of you are awesome authors and I love your books.
Highlanders are my favorite type Hero. Just seeing a Highlander on the cover or seeing Highlander in the title and I can't help but sigh. There is an earthy strength and power I see in a Highlander. They are bold, courageous and exciting. Add in tall, dark and ruggedly handsome and it's a magical mix for me. I love my Highlanders and can't get enough of them. sigh...
Love your books and this series is awesome.Highlanders what is there not to admire,enjoy and love.They are strong,handsome,brooding and sexy as all get out.
Congrats on this great release.
