Excerpt
“Have
you found your mystery man yet, lass?” he said, so low she would
feel the rumble of his inquisition through the thin material of her
silky, smooth dress.
Her
lips trembled, eyes wide, but she gave no answer.
Oh,
but to close his lips over hers.
“No,”
Cadence finally murmured, her eyes still locked on his. “But I will
find him.”
When
she licked her lips, his eyes drifted down. Wide and full, they were
created for pure sin. He could only imagine them running down his
body. Damnation, he needed her closer.
Though
he wouldn’t kiss her, he’d sure as hell dance with her.
Ignoring
her assurance that she was meant for another man, Malcolm pulled her
into the dancing crowd. It didn’t matter if the music was merry. He
wasn’t in the mood for speed. Besides, he was viciously aroused.
She’d feel his need while she tried to keep focus on the man she so
eagerly sought.
“Goddess
above, what are you doing to me,” she whispered, voice strangled.
Arms
wrapped around her lower back, he brought his mouth against her ear.
“‘Twill be no goddess giving you answers, only me.” He
tightened his hold. “Do you feel me then, lass?”
“How
could I not?” she gasped. Hands clamped on his upper arms, she
turned her face into his chest and mumbled, “You show ill respect
to a man you have not met.”
“I
dinnae respect a man until he earns it.” Malcolm closed his eyes
and breathed in the sweet scent of her hair.
As
each individual note trilled from the bagpipe, she melted against him
more thoroughly than the icy snowflakes speckling his heated skin.
Fire and drink might warm the crowd but where they stood his breath
hit the air in foggy puffs. Always a fan of the cold, but an even
bigger fan of a bonnie wee lass against him, he cupped one hand
around the back of her neck.
Her
heart thundered against his.
Her
body shuddered.
“Easy,
lass,” he whispered. “I willnae take what you’re unwilling to
give.”
“Yet
you hold me prisoner,” she murmured.
“Nay,
we but dance.”
“If
only.”
Her
words were so soft he barely heard them.
Jaw
grinding, he held her securely while pressing tighter against her.
“No,”
she whispered. Then she pulled back, her voice stronger as her eyes
met his. “No.”
“Aye,
lass.” But he loosened his hold and gave her one more word before
he let her go. “Soon.”

My review;
Time travel and highlanders, what else could someone want? I have always loved time travel novels and this series is one of my favorites. I have read so many I cannot even count them.
