Welcome Emma Prince Celtic Barb's Kilted Tartan Book Reviews honored to be part of this blog tour. Thank you Emma and Secret Realm Book Reviews and Services for the invitation.

I actually met Emma Prince last summer at Nationals, Romance Writers of America Convention in NYC. This was before I had read any of her books. We were introduced by mutual friend and Scottish historical author Eliza Knight, at a cocktail party for book promoters like myself and authors like Emma. Besides this story teller having God given talent, this multi talented author is beautiful,warm, kind, funny, smart and amazing woman! The type that makes a person feel like they have known her forever. We just clicked! I came home and immediately started reading her Sinclair books which I totally fell in love with, as I have with her most recent Viking series, which is fabulous too. I now feel so honored to have met this lovely multi talented woman and discovered her brilliant books. I highly recommend if you love history and romance you don't want to miss her amazing stories they are all spectacular!

But Ansel’s dark eyes cut through all her defenses, threatening to undo her resolve. To protect her past, she cannot submit to the white-hot desire that burns between them. As the threat to her life spirals out of control, she has no choice but to trust Ansel to whisk her to safety deep in the heart of the Highlands...
