About the Books 


Title: Forged in Dreams and Magick (Highland Legends #1) 
Author: Kat Bastion 

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Isobel MacInnes wakes up in present-day California, lunches in medieval Scotland, and by ten days’ end, falls in love with a man and his country, only to lose them in a heart-wrenching twist of fate . . .

Found in the arms of her second soul mate . . .

Forced to balance the delicate strands of time between two millennia . . .

Shocked by revelations rewriting the very foundations of history . . . of everything.

Isobel, a rising-star archaeology student, is dropped into two ancient worlds without warning . . . or her permission. Her fiery spirit resists the dependency thrust upon her. Amid frustration at her lack of control, she helplessly falls in love. Twice.

She struggles to adjust to the unimaginable demands of two leaders of men—a laird in the thirteenth-century Highlands and a Pict chieftain in a more ancient Scotland. Isobel transforms from an academic, hell-bent on obtaining archaeological recognition, to a woman striving to care for those she loves, and ultimately . . . into a fearless warrior risking everything to protect them.

Title: Bound by Wish and Mistletoe (Highland Legends #1.5)
Author: Kat Bastion
Release date: November 4th, 2013
Age Group: Adult
Genre: Paranormal Romance / Highlander Romance / Holidays (for holiday novella)
Tour organized by: AToMR Tours; http://atomrbookblogtours.com


The holiday novella, Book 1.5, following the award-winning debut of Forged in Dreams and Magick in the Highland Legends Series:

Desperate to honor a life-long promise, Susanna MacEalan escapes her abusive clan with the fierce determination of never falling under the power of a man. Ever.

Aggravated by shallow-hearted pursuing lasses, Robert Brodie, commander of his clan’s elite guard, has foresworn scheming women. Forever.

When magick transforms Brodie Castle into a Christmas wonderland, the two despondent souls find solace in a most unexpected place . . . each other’s arms.

Amid a whirlwind of escalating events, Susanna’s traumatic past threatens Robert’s ability to protect the one woman meant for him. In a harrowing moment, as her fears and demons coalesce, will hope, faith, and love be enough to save them?



**I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review**

I am loving this series! The Brodie Clan is amazing, I loved Iian in Forged in Dreams and Magick and Robert is wonderful in this novella. All Alpha male, protective, dominant, but sweet, and sexy. Susana is amazing character, sometimes in fiction we find real life situations we can relate to.  I can't personally relate to Susanna but I know there are women out there who can, and my heart goes out to them. Susanna was strong, brave, fierce, and does what is necessary to earn her freedom from her abusive father. 
Bound by Wish and Mistletoe is different from the first book in the series but is just as excellent. This novella is about a special time, for those who celebrate Christmas, and how an unexpected appearance by one or a situation can change and enhance other peoples lives, 
Susanna and Robert meeting was just such an encounter. 
I absolutely loved this story and am looking forward to the next one.

Close Remembrance (Krinar Chronicles, #3)  by Anna Zaires

 
 
The stunning conclusion to the critically acclaimed series that has won thousands of fans!

When a ruthless enemy finally strikes, Mia and Korum will face the biggest test of their relationship yet. But it’s Korum’s own secrets that may ultimately tear them apart.

From the beaches of Costa Rica to a planet in a distant galaxy, theirs is a love story that may change the world 



Cerridwen's Pick

Heavy Metal ( Goddess Rising #2) by Natalie J. Damschroder

 
 
The world is not what Riley Kordek imagined. On the run from those who’ve targeted her, all Riley wants is a chance to figure out her new ability to bend metal's energy. When a hot guy who knows more than he should helps her escape her attackers, she thinks she might’ve found someone who can lead her to the answers she needs.

Three years ago, Sam Remington walked away from his employer and the woman he loved, and now, all he’s looking to do is fill the gaping hole left behind. Except, when Sam takes Riley to the Society for Goddess Education and Defense, the stakes rise beyond what either of them could have imagined.

After being alone for so long, falling for Sam would be far too easy—and far too painful, once his old flame calls needing his help. Worse, Riley uncovers a plot with disastrous ramifications not only for herself, but for Sam and the people he loves—and potentially every goddess in the country.

An amazing time traveling tale about love, duty, and honor.  
Forged in Dreams and Magick was my first time travel novel and I loved it. I don't really read to many Highlander novels either but I'm thinking I need to change that. There is just something so damn sexy about them, I'm definitely going to add more of them to my TBR, lol. Iian totally captures my heart, just like he does Isobel, and the "romantic" scenes are AWESOME!

Isobel is an Archaeology student who was in Scotland attending to a family matter when she comes across an ancient artifact that she thinks will launch her career in the world of Archaeology. Little did she know that it would totally change her life in a different way. When she asks a friend of hers, Iian to take a look at her find, they are both taken back in time to the thirteenth century Highlands of Scotland. Iian is the Laird of the castle and hopes to keep Isobel in his time as his Lady. When she is finally feeling like she has things under control and things are going great, BOOM, she's brought even further back in time and falls in love again. 

I really enjoyed this book. I've mentioned before that I absolutely love when a main character or characters are Archaeologist. It's one of the fields that has always captured my interest and attention, and who wouldn't love to come across some ancient artifact, with the added bonus of being a time traveling contraption, lol. Iian is an all around great character, he has the whole dominant male going for him but he is also sweet and will do anything for his woman. And Isobel is my kind of girl! She's smart, beautiful, but not weak at all, takes control of her situations and does what needs to be done not only for her, but the ones she loves. When she travels in time for the second time, I have to admit I was a bit sad about it, I was hooked on Iian, so when she falls for Veloc, it threw me for a loop. I'm totally team Iian. ;) As it turns out though, her journey with Veloc and Iian is only the beginning and I absolutely cannot wait to see what happens next!
