Top Off Tuesday - Highlander alert!

I've decided to join Felicia, Christi and Amanda for their gratuitous shirtless covers on Tuesdays. Because nothing says Tuesday like flashing some skin! Hop over to Felicia's blog to see who else is participating!

Holy smokes. It's not wonder I've had a bit of a thing for Highlanders lately. Sword, muscles, nips, and his plaid. DELICIOUS!
Highland Obsession (Connected Books #1) by Dawn Halliday
In the Scottish Highlands, two warriors are about to clash over a woman of passion...

They were the unlikeliest of friends debauching their way through London: The Earl of Camdonn, a nobleman of vast wealth and power, and Scottish laird Alan MacDonald, a respected Jacobite with ambitions of his own.

But their friendship is destroyed when Alan marries the beautiful Sorcha Stewart—only to witness Cam kidnap her from their bedroom. Then Alan learns the truth: his bride was not an innocent. She took a lover before him—his friend—who taught her the ways of pleasure.

Now, Alan will do anything to get his wife back. Cam fights to redeem his honor, even as he refuses to give up his desire. Torn between love and duty, Sorcha must watch as the two men she desires go to war over her. And when the battle lines are drawn, all three lovers are lured into a triangle of forbidden passions…

  1. KILT! (I am kind of like my dog with squirrels on that one) :)

    That being said--who gave highlanders razors to shave the chest hair? I OBJECT LOL:) Maybe he can soothe me with his manly arms!

    1. I'm with you on the KILT thing. SO WITH YOU!

      Razors? Oh, no! They full on wax. They have Highlander waxing days where all the warriors line up and let the ladies go to town on their manly chests. It's cathartic for the ladies. Less so for the men.

    2. Oh my! I bet those ladies drew it out too! I like the facts that your encyclopedia digs up for you! Historical Waxing sounds suspect but I can dig it for the sake of a cover LOL

    3. Like, the slow ripping of the wax? OUCH! Good thing they're manly men and can take the pain.

  2. OOH! You know I love me some Highlander. But it seems he needs a bit more plaid to keep him warm -- that's an awfully skimpy bit of fabric he's got thrown over his shoulder, crossing those gorgeous abs of his.

  8. I'm not sure how I tore my eyes away from the cover to read the blurb (I must have superpowers I hadn't known about), but the book doesn't sound that bad. *Goes back to stare some more*
