As promised, today I am participating in the book tour to promote a wonderful book by author B. J. Scott. It is called HIGHLAND QUEST, and if the inside matches the cover – this is a great read! Wow – that is some mighty fine graphic artwork! 
The author is giving several things away to lucky commenters, so be sure to follow Ms. Scott’s book tour (presented by Goddess Fish) for more chances to win! For a full list of sites that are participating in the tour (and to increase your chances of winning), see the other participants listed at the end of today’s post. Good luck!
Blurb:
No longer content in the shadows of his older brothers and on a quest to find his destiny, Bryce Fraser’s chosen path is fraught with danger, passion, and decisions. Can his unspoken love for spirited, beguiling Fallon be triumphant in a time of war and uncertainty, or will they both fall prey to the devious plans of a traitorous laird from a rival clan?
************************************************************************
Do we have your attention yet? I am certainly hooked! Here is a full excerpt to give us a better glimpse into the characters of Bryce and Fallon.
EXCERPT:
Bryce closed the gap between them. She heard his footsteps, felt his warm breath on the back of her neck as he spoke, but didn’t turn around.
“Please dinna be angry with me, Fallon. I could not bear to think you held me any ill will. This is for the best.” He gently touched her shoulder.
“Dinna leave.” She dropped the sack and whipped around to face him, the words escaping before she could stop them. “Why must you go? Why must you risk your life?”
“You know why.” He yanked her against his chest and captured her mouth.
But this time she did not fight his advances. She wrapped her arms around his neck, responding with equal enthusiasm to his kiss. Her lips parted, welcoming the sweep of his tongue. As he deepened the exploration, her knees buckled, and she clung to his tunic as if her life depended on it.
Unshed tears stung her eyes, but she managed to blink them away. This might be the last time they would see each other and she suddenly found herself wanting a memory that would last forever. What she was about to ask was wrong, and could only lead to heartache. While she knew she should fight temptation with her last breath, she was only human.
“Join with me, Bryce,” she whispered against his lips.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
With a passion for historical romance, history in general, and anything Celtic, B.J. always has an exciting work in progress. Each story offers a blend of romance, adventure, suspense, and, where appropriate, a dab of comic relief. Carefully researched historical facts are woven into each manuscript, providing a backdrop from which steamy romance, gripping plots, and vivid characters—dashing alpha heroes and resourceful, beguiling heroines you can’t help but admire—spring to life. A member of RWA, World Romance Writers, Celtic Hearts Romance Writers, and Savvy Authors, B.J. also writes contemporary, paranormal, time travel, and romantic suspense.
C.S. Lewis first captivated B. J.’s imagination in the fourth grade, and her desire to write sprang from there. Following a career in nursing and child and youth work, B.J. married her knight-in-shining-armor, and he whisked her away to his castle by the sea. In reality, they share their century-old home in a small Canadian town on the shore of Lake Erie with three dogs and a cat. When she is not working at her childcare job, on her small business, or writing, you will find her reading, camping, or antique hunting.

This sounds right up my alley! If the word “Highlander” is in the title, I’m all over it!
Must be my Scottish roots calling out to me! I’ll be adding this to my collection of Highlander titles.
I suspect my Scottish roots are what compel me to write and read anything Scottish too
Like you if it sounds like a Scottish title, I am all over it.
Very nice excerpt.

Thank you for dropping by
Thanks again Rita
I’m not good about reading series books in order. As a librarian, you’d think I’d be better at it.
Nice thing about my series you can start anywhere;) but right now can only pick between book one and two, three is still in progress and hopefully will be out in the spring
Thanks again Joan. This is actually book two of a series of three. The first book came out in Nov 2011 and while this one is a sequel, I tried to write it in such a way that it can stand alone and while it is always better to read a series in order, that is not necessary with this one
Thanks for stopping by another blog Rita!
Thanks for hosting my book.
Been working all day but wanted to drop in and day hi.
The book is avaliable at Amazon barnes and noble kobo Soul Mate Publishing
Direct links on my blog.
It was a pleasure hosting you. The book looks wonderful and I’ll definitely be purchasing it. I am a huge fan of highlander books! Just something about those Scotsmen!!
I have to agree about the Scotsmen! Thanks again for hosting me
Love the excerpt, thank you.
