Editor's Choice - The Devil Take You - by H K Carlton #HistoricalRomance

Editor's Choice


I believe your stay in purgatory has only just begun…

Braelynn Galbraith wants peace for her beloved Scotland, marriage to her childhood sweetheart, and a house full of children. In that order. But evil incarnate in the form of Gard Marschand, turns her life inside out and destroys all hope of a decent marriage.

Known in the Highlands as the legendary devil, Gard Marschand, raids his way across Scotland and England amassing power and property in his malevolent wake. He will stop at nothing in his pursuit to regain what is lost—even conceal his true identity and associate with his enemies. His determination is all-consuming until he and his men, lay siege to Ross-shire holding and one feisty Scottish lass obliterates his single-minded purpose.

Can Gard abandon his deep-seated need for revenge for a love that just might save his rotten soul? Or will he succumb to the demons that hound him and surrender to the devil within?

What Reader's Think...


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"As an avid romance reader, a book has to be excellent for me to read a second time. I have read this book twice and probably will Read it again in the future. I won’t go back over the synopsis, but what sets this book apart for me is the author takes a character, Gard, that at first glance you should absolutely hate and turns them into someone you are rooting for and sympathizing with. That type of characterization is rare and hard to find. I also liked the fact that the darkness of the era for the book wasn’t glossed over. It was not all unicorns and rainbows, but this book did have a hint of whimsy. I hope the author writes other historical romance because this book is definitely one of my favorite." - Amazon.com

"What a refreshing, delightful book! Stumbled upon this book yesterday and finished it this afternoon. Love the heroine and hero!" - Goodreads

"Loved this book... So sad I finished it...I hope this author writes more historical romance. So happy I found this new author." - Goodreads

"Let HK take you on a journey of discovery. Braelynn Galbraith is forever finding herself in some serious scrapes despite all good intentions. A tough heroine who meets her match in the intense and determined Gard Marschand. I could not put the book down until I knew what happened next." 

"What a fabulous, well crafted story! I could hardly put it down. I love Brae as much as I loved Holly in the Always Cambridge series. They’re not the same character at all, but Brae is just as spunky, brave, creative, smart and grounded. Well done, HK!" ~ Editor

Guess What Got Released Early? #Epic #Historical #Romance - The Devil Take You - is live @eXtasyBooks


I'm so excited to have this story back out in the world. It's been a broken road for sure, but nothing mends a broken heart faster than hard work, tenacity, and a whole lot of help from some very experienced and tremendously kind people. A special shout out to Susan Davis and Nicki Richards, who at different times, have helped me bring this devil of a tale to heel.

You'll also notice, #Epic, in the hashtags. You're probably thinking, huh, what is she talking about—Epic Historical Romance? Well, this story is over 140,000 words and 479 pages, but I guarantee, you'll fall in love with our feisty Scottish heroine, Braelynn Galbraith, and our equally brooding anti-hero, Gard Marschand.

What a fabulous, well crafted story! I could hardly put it down. I love Brae as much as I loved Holly in the Always Cambridge series. They’re not the same character at all, but Brae is just as spunky, brave, creative, smart and grounded. Well done, HK!

This book was wonderful in so many ways. Feisty heroine, brooding hero, historical facts woven into the plot, descriptions of sweeping landscapes, drama and intrigue...well-deserved praise!

I love a good historical romance, especially those set in Scotland. With a spirited young miss in Brae and a rogue in Gard, HK Carlton has created two of my favorite characters in The Devil Take You. With a story that ranks with those of Jude Deveraux and Nora Roberts, HK's tale will sweep you up in a tide of passion and intrigue that will keep you turning pages.

Happy Weekend and Happy Reading!

Cover Reveal - The Highlander's Secret - by Jennifer Siddoway @jensiddoway #historical #highland #romance

Title: The Highlander’s Secret
Author: Jennifer Siddoway
Genre: Historical Romance/Highland Romance
Publisher: Duncurra LLC
Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR


Blurb: 

Viking hordes have long plagued the northern coast of Scotland. After her village was massacred, Jain was adopted by the neighboring clan but is haunted by the ghosts of her past. She conceals a dark secret beneath her cool exterior, but inside burns a wild heart.

Alan Gordon has the calloused hands of a blacksmith, but unlike the metal he hammers and molds, he would never aim to bend Jain to his will. He spent half a lifetime captivated by the red-haired beauty and vows to protect her and love her for the woman she is, but his resolve is tested when the truth of her past is revealed.



Jennifer is an author from Tallahassee, Florida.

After receiving a degree in theatre from BYU and working as a scenic artist for twelve years, she changed careers to do what she really loves—writing. Jennifer believes that part of her job as an artist and story teller is to create a narrative that explores a fresh perspective and leaves the audience thinking.

When she’s not busy writing or burying her nose in a book, Jennifer enjoys doing medieval reenactment with her husband and two children.

“What have ye got there, lass?”

As he held out his hand to her, the girl looked back at him with green, calculating eyes. It took a moment for the recognition to sink in, but eventually she handed him the metal trinket she was hiding.

When he took it from her, the girl cried and buried her face into the crook of her arm. Eamon glanced down to the pinnacular brooch and admired the intricately woven pattern. It was a maze of knotwork woven around two dragon heads, with one on either side. Eamon had never seen anything like it; the craftsmanship was beyond anything Scottish made. As he examined it more closely, Eamon brushed his finger across the carefully worked ridges before staring up at her in awe. “Where did ye get this, child?”
