Paula Quinn learned rejection at a tender age when she submitted a short story to a science fiction house only to get a slip saying “thanks,but no thanks”. She kept writing away, but the rejections letters kept taunting her from their hiding place. Finding her niche (romance) came with the help of a young boy who melted her knees with his kiss (now her husband). Lucky for us, Paula found her champion! Her brother in law set her up with a very intelligent agency who recognized her incredible talent and the rest is history.
I am a sucker for all things Scottish, but I hold authors who venture into Scottish history to a higher standard than most. Saying that, I will go on to say that 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. When I did manage to re-surface in the real world, my heart longed for the world of the Highlanders. With a hero to make a heart sigh and a heroine who can match the hero wit to wit, this story is one I highly recommend adding to your bookshelf. As for me, I am off to find any other Paula Quinn book I can get my hands on.

14 years agoI got my first taste of Paul Quinn’s talent when I read Lord of Desire. Great choice Kimberly!
