Product Description

SINS THAT CAN’T BE FORGIVEN

Tristan MacGregor is famed throughout the Highlands as a silver-tonged seducer and an unrepentant rogue. Bold and charming, he’s dallied with many women, yet none as mysterious as the lass he steals a kiss from at king’s court. Little does he know this beauty is one of his clan’s greatest enemies.

PASSION THAT CAN’T BE DENIED

Isobel Fergusson has despised the bloodthirsty MacGregors ever since they murdered her father. She’s horrified to learn that the handsome stranger she kissed is of this clan. But Tristan means to possess her at any cost and Isobel’s body turns traitor at his touch. Can a man she’s sworn to hate be the only one she can ever love?

About the Author

Paula Quinn has been married to her childhood sweetheart for 16 years. They have three children, a dog, and too many reptiles to count. She lives in New York City and is currently at work on her next novel.

LOVED IT

This is the second book in the Children of the Mist series and I enjoyed it just as much as the first one. After reading this you will be thinking about exactly what is under a Highlander’s kilt, seriously, there are some hot moments in this book.  Tristan is just that hot and we first heard about him in Ravished by a Highlander .  
and Isobel becomes the perfect foil for his smoothness.  Isobel, what can I say?  I think we all have a bit of Isobel in us, it just shows more in others.  I think the best part of this book is the chemistry between the two.

Of course, Tristan and Isobel are not meant for each other, since their families are enemies but the way they move towards each and evolve into a couple is magic!  I am always amazed at the detail and historical accuracy in Paula Quinn’s books.  I think this series is off to a wonderful start in this second story.  This is the perfect summer read and will make a wonderful day at the beach, although I think it might heat you up more than the sun.

  10. I liked Paula’s website. I thought it was interesting in her personal section that she started out reading the likes of Jaws and other Sci Fi and has wound up being such a great romance/historical author!

  11. Good morning Paula!
    I’m always excited to learn of a new-to-me series! I really like your characters names in Seduced by a Highlander. How do you discover such great and time appropriate names?

  17. First, thanks so much for the lovely review! I loved writing Tristan and Isobel, so I’m thrilled that you enjoyed their story. I also want to thank the ladies for stopping by and entering the giveaway.

    Holden, to answer your question, the characters usually choose their own names long before the book is written 🙂

  18. Hi Bethie, yes I always knew. I was about 11 when I wrote my first “book” and I wrote poetry all through High School!

  20. Hi Mary,
    The next book in the series is Tamed By A Highlander and will be out Sept. 2011 I know it seems like a long way off, but it goes fast! Tamed will feature Mairi MacGregor (only daughter of Kate & Callum) and Connor Grant (eldest son of Graham and Claire from A Highlander Never Surrenders) Here’s a link to the entire background of the Children of the Mist series.http://bit.ly/aOqv3f

  28. Interesting fact: “Stardust of Yesterday” by Lynn Kurland is one of the best paranormals Paula has ever read. I liked it, too!

  29. Paula, when you read for pleasure, do you pick up an historical romance or do you go outside your “working genre”? Also, do you read paperbacks or ebooks?

  30. Hi Connie, my all time favorite book is a tie between The Summer Tree and The Lions of Al Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay. Both are fantasies. My favorite historical romances are Stardust of Yesterday by Lynn Kurland, and anything by Julie Garwood. The books that inspired me to write are The Summer Tree and The Mist of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley 🙂

  31. Cheryl, I always read historical romances and sometimes paranormal. I always read paperbacks. I love the smell of a book too much to read ebooks unless I have to.

  34. I learned that when Paula was 11 years old, she submitted a short story to a science fiction publisher. Her story was rejected, which is hard to take at any age, but she didn’t give up! I always think it is so wonderful and amazing when writers, artists, and other creative individuals know at a early age what they want to do in life.

  74. I visited her site and an interesting little tidbit was that when she was 14, she met her future husband.
