I am really thrilled that JoJo asked me to be a part of 30 days with a Highlander. When she asked me to write why I love them. My first thought was, who doesn't? And, if you have never read a book about a Highlander, I have just gasped out of disbelief! You must correct this misfortune as fast as possible! Trust me you will never be the same and you will thank me!

Jamie Fraser

I believe it all started with James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser from Outander by Diana Gabaldon.

After my long love affair with Jamie, I went searching for more Highlander books. I soon found all sorts of yumminess in Monica McCarty's and Karen Marie Moning's Books. I really can't say I love one Highlander

hero more than the other.

It could be because they all are enchanting to me. There is something about a man with a sexy lilt, that makes you swoon. It could be the visual of a huge, muscular, hot, sexy man clad in a kilt, strapped with swords, standing next to a huge castle. It also could be the fierceness, honorability and protectiveness ways towards clan & the love of thier lives.The passion, oh the passion. I am talking about put the book down for a minute to fan yourself passion. These men, when they fall in love they fall hard. Nothing makes my heart pound more than a Highlander who has completely given in to a love that they can't live without.

Sometimes a line or 2 from a book sticks with you forever. Leaves you wanting to remember the moment, tryingto picture their face, because you have inexplicably put yourself in the book as the heroine. I have 2 that I always go back to. They make me weak in the knees...totally swoon worthy.

"Does it ever stop? The wanting you? Even when I've just left ye, I want you so much my chest feels tight and my fingers ache with wanting to touch ye again." ~Jamie Fraser

"If aught must be lost, 'twill be my honor for yours. If one must be forsaken, 'twill be my soul for yours. Should death come anon, 'twill be my life for yours. I am Given."~Drustan MacKeltar

I just can't get enough of them. I just want to be sucked back in time, sit on a hill in Scotland, staring down at a beautiful castle, wrapped in my Highland Warriors tartan as the wind carries the sound and smell of him.

A girl can dream, can't she?
