Reviews

4 1/2 Stars and a Top Pick from RT Magazine! 
"Quinn again displays her talents in an engrossing story brimming with atmosphere and passionate characters whose emotions run as deep as their senses of honor. These hallmarks combine to reach out and grab readers, who will dub this book a true keeper." 

From Romance Reviews Today
"SEDUCED BY A HIGHLANDER tells a powerful and dramatic story of the evolution and redemption of character, of new understanding and forgiveness. Though centered on Isobel and Tristan, the two families are also well presented as the dynamics of the situation affect them all. The suspenseful plot includes a deeply hidden secret, a seemingly doomed romance, excitement and-believe it-a leavening by humor." 

5 Cups from Coffee Time Romance
"Paula Quinn went above and beyond my expectations. Not only did she write about a devilishly handsome Tristan, who has the heart of a lion as he pursues the lovely Isobel, she also managed to wrap the tale around another of my favorites, the tale of Tristan and Iseult. This story is well written, with characters to make a reader laugh, cry and shake their fists. I found myself lost within the covers of this book for hours at a time." 

From Yankee Romance Reviewers
" This story is strong but tender, emotional in many different ways and a comic in so many others. You won't know whether you should feel pity or hilarious gratitude at some of the antics that arise from a touching clash of personalities. The passion will leave your toes tingling and rapturous in appetite. From beginning to end it is non stop and leaves you panting and drooling for more upon it's ending." 

“Seduced by a Highlander is sparkling, sexy, and seductive! I couldn’t put it down!” —Karen Hawkins, New York Times bestselling author

Character Stats

Tristan MacGregor: b. May 26, 1660 
Seduced By A Highlander ~ The Prodigal Son
Height: 6'
Weight: 170
Eyes: Hazel
Hair: Chestnut 
Second son to Callum and Kate MacGregor and unrepentant rogue. Slow to anger and quick to cast his devastating smile, Tristan has little trouble courting, wooing, and taking to bed any lass who catches his eye. A pastime gaining him, much to the regret of his father, the reputation of great lover, rather than great warrior…or of knight, as someone even more dear to him would have preferred. A tragic event in his childhood has caused him to forget his lessons in honor, until his past returns to meet him in the king’s private garden. 

Gemini Traits: He possesses fleeting, changeable expressions and clear, clever eyes that twinkle and dart here and there. Quick, graceful movements. Restless mercurial nature. Charm beyond comparison.


Isobel Fergusson: b. August 4, 1664 
Height: 5' 7" 
Weight: 120
Eyes: Green
Hair: Auburn 
The MacGregors of Skye are barbarians, the scourge of Scotland and Isobel Fergusson hopes never to see any of them in this life or the next. She hates them for killing her father after the death of the Earl of Argyll, but at least it had appeased their need for further revenge. Or had it? When she learns that the handsome stranger who stole a kiss from her in the king’s private garden is the Devil’s own son, she fears he has come to entice from her a truth she will take with her to her grave. When he pursues her, risking the wrath of both their families to prove his true purposse, she fears that the man she is sworn to hate might be the only man she can ever love.

Leo Traits: Walks proudly, combining grace with quivering intensity. She is always ready to pounce if she feels threatened. Her claws are sheathed, but sharp.

Tristan & Isobel 
When I was given the opportunity to write “The Children of the Mist” series, I was overjoyed. I couldn’t wait to begin and to be reunited with my two favorite characters, Kate and Callum MacGregor, from Laird Of The Mist. How exciting to meet their sons and their daughter, to fill over twenty years of time in my head discovering who my new heroes and heroines were, and who they were to become. You already met the devoted, uncompromisingly stubborn firstborn, Rob MacGregor in the series, RAVISHED BY A HIGHLANDER. His brother Tristan, the hero (and I breathe a little sigh as I type that particular word for this particular man} in my brand new book, SEDUCED BY A HIGHLANDER, is nothing at all like him. In fact, Tristan is nothing like anyone in his family. Or so everyone, including him believes. Up until my revisions for this book, even I didn’t know who Tristan truly was. 

He had us all fooled.

Like every other woman who meets him, I quickly fell in love with his natural charm and vibrant smiles. But it was a façade, and it took me some time before I realized it. Me, his author. Even after I did, breaking through the barrier he’d built between himself and the rest of the world made him the most challenging and ultimately gratifying hero I’ve ever written. 

You see, Tristan had been wounded as a boy. Not physically, but it’s the scars on one’s heart that take the longest to heal…so they say. Being privy to his entire life, I knew the event that changed him, but I didn’t want to go back and examine how it had. Honestly, it was painful for me. Thank God my editor is brilliant and told me I needed to go back and see the event through my young hero’s eyes and then write it into the Prologue. 

If you’ve read it, then some of you might already hate me for the death of Robert Campbell, beloved Galahad in A HIGHLANDER NEVER SURRENDERS. It’s okay; I hated myself for a while for writing it. But it was in the moment of the Earl’s death that I finally saw who Tristan truly was—the man he had wanted to become. My carefree, reckless rogue was really a knight in shin…ok, well, rusty armor. But as the fair, feisty damsel Isobel Fergusson assures him, armor can be polished. Pick up a copy of SEDUCED BY A HIGHLANDER and follow a knight’s quest for honor as it leads him to the arms of his ladylove…even if she does hate him.
