Today we have a really fun cover reveal and giveaway for you–pick your favorite highland cover hero and win, all while learning all about a magical historical romance series!
Series Overview
In the time of Tudor rule, when the land grew untamed and the men fought fiercely, the HIGHLAND HEARTS trilogy follows Scottish warriors of the Macbain and Munro clans on their quests for justice and survival. This historical, paranormal romance series sweeps from the raw grandeur of the Highlands to the opulence of King Henry’s court, where bold strategies, royal intrigue, and murder twist together with white magic as these warriors become entangled with three English lasses from very different lives. With secrets exposed and distrust shadowing their happiness, can they conquer the darkness to win the purest form of magic that exists – love?
In total, the HIGHLAND HEARTS series includes three main, full-length novels, CAPTURED HEART, TANGLED HEARTS, and CRIMSON HEART. A very short novella (13K words), HIGHLAND HEART (missing the all-important “s” at the end) is a prequel to the series, revealing how the first dragonfly-magic came to the western Highlands. UNTAMED HEARTS is a long novella (40K words) which bridges the gap between TANLGED HEARTS and CRIMSON HEART. Although each title is written to stand alone, reading them in the following, chronological order will enhance one’s immersion into this 16th-century world of adventure, love, and magic.

Crimson Heart – who doesn’t love a man in a kilt!
I like Crimson Heart. I love the red, it really stands out. Honestly, all of the covers are great
I’m torn–I like both the Tangled Hearts and the Crimson Heart…so hard to choose! Both have some lovely pec action going on, though 😉
These books sound great and I have added them to my list. All the covers are awesome with sexy hunks, but I think I will have to pick Crimson Heart as the best because it adds a mysterious element to the strong, sexy, alpha male look.
Thanks for the giveaway. evamillien at gmail dot com
I like Captured Heart cover the best.
I love the Captured Heart cover. For one, it’s the first book to the series. I’m not counting the novellas. I really love the way the man’s body looks. I also like that this man has a little hair on his chest. Don’t get me wrong men who shave their chest look really good but I like it all natural. I don’t care for back hair though are s bunch of chest hair but some hair like the man on the cover is WOW, great.
I love the cover of Captured Heart. For one it’s the first book to the series, I’m not counting the novellas. I absolutely love the way this man’s body looks and you can see that he has a little chest hair, which I love. Don’t get me wrong, I do like men who shave their chest because they usually add oil and makes their chest shiny. I’m glad this manages his hair on his chest. He might trim it. I just love seeing a man with a little chest hair. All the covers look great though. I love them all it’s hard not to with bodies like those. LOL.
