From the same bright imagination that brought us The Count’s Discipline, and Geoffrey’s Rules, comes a wonderful new book by Emily Tilton: Tamed by the Highlander. Everything I’ve read by Emily has been eloquent, her words flowing like honey on the page. Her attention to detail is fantastic, and the reader is immersed in time and place as deeply as it’s possible to be.Tamed by the Highlander tells the story of Elisabeth Grant and Angus MacGregor, the sixteenth century Lady of Urquhart and the Highlander who saves her virtue. It isn’t saved for long, because Elisabeth trades it to Angus for a chance to remain in the highlands, near her beautiful Loch Ness. Although Elisabeth and Angus would appear to have little in common, their love for the highlands is enough of a start. They also find that Elisabeth is passionate about more than the highlands; she is also enflamed by Angus’s spankings as well as his lovemaking. Although she is quite reluctant to admit her shameful feelings, Angus ferrets it out, and once the dam has burst, Elisabeth is honest with herself and Angus.The spankings are plentiful and believable and the sex is hot. The story is a good one, as well, including some good old-fashioned sword-wielding. I particularly liked the language in the book. It added tremendously to the period feel and defined the setting as well as any long-winded description of table fare might do and was a lot more interesting.I would encourage you to try this historical romance by Emily Tilton. Tamed by the Highlander is a book you’ll recommend to others, as I am to you.
