There are two reviews of this book. I’m not really sure why this anthology was published. All of these stories have appeared in anthologies before. If you have read A Regency Valentine, Dashing and Dangerous, or Rakes and Rogues, then you have already read one or more of these stories. That being said, three of…
There’s something about Scottish historicals that just seems to take hold of the imagination, and the heart. Maybe it’s the men and women, or the brogue we can hear in our heads while we’re reading.

I was immediately drawn to this book by the cover. A blue plaid kilt in the background and an ornate sword with roses tied to it gave me the impression this would be a story of battles and love won and lost. Happily, that first impression was right on the money! The Blood of Roses…
For a good many years, I have been unable to read or think about the story of King Arthur without some prose or action calling to mind Disney’s The Sword in the Stone, Excalibur, or Monty Python. I cannot help but respect an author who can bring fresh life to this timeless legend. Diana L….
