"Men in Kilts"

Ok, it's not what you're probably thinking: a follow up movie to that weird comedy from years back, "Robin Hood" Men in Tights". Indeed, this is so much better! Sourcebooks has put some of their best Highlander e-books on sale for ...are you sitting down?...$0.99! Here's what they're offering:

Awaken the Highland Warrior by Anita Clenney
A man from another time…

Faelan is from an ancient clan of Scottish Highland warriors, charged with shielding humanity from demonic forces. Betrayed and locked in a time vault, he has been sleeping for nearly two centuries when spunky historian Bree Kirkland inadvertently wakes him. She’s more fearsome than the demon trying to kill him, and if he’s not careful, she’ll uncover the secrets his clan has bled and died to protect…

Could be the treasure she’s been seeking all her life…

When Bree inherits an old treasure map, she discovers a warrior buried in her backyard. But the warrior isn’t dead. Bree shocks Faelan with her modern dress and her boldness, and he infuriates Bree every time he tries to protect her.

With demons suddenly on the move, Bree discovers that Faelan’s duty as protector is in his blood, and that her part in this fight was destined before she was born. But nothing is ever what it seems…


Highland Hellcat by Mary Wine
He wants a wife he can control…

Connor Lindsey is a Highland laird, but his clan’s loyalty is hard won and he takes nothing for granted. He’ll do whatever it takes to find a virtuous wife, even if he has to kidnap her…

She has a spirit that can’t be tamed…

Brina Chattan has always defied convention. She sees no reason to be docile now that she’s been captured by a powerful laird and taken to his storm-tossed castle in the Highlands, far from her home.

When a rival laird’s interference nearly tears them apart, Connor discovers that a woman with a wild streak suits him much better than he’d ever imagined…


The Highlander’s Sword by Amanda Forester
A quiet, flame-haired beauty with secrets of her own…
Lady Aila Graham is destined for the convent, until her brother’s death leaves her an heiress. Soon she is caught between hastily arranged marriage with a Highland warrior, the Abbot’s insistence that she take her vows, the Scottish Laird who kidnaps her, and the traitor from within who betrays them all.

She’s nothing he expected and everything he really needs…
Padyn MacLaren, a battled-hardened knight, returns home to the Highlands after years of fighting the English in France. MacLaren bears the physical scars of battle, but it is the deeper wounds of betrayal that have rocked his faith. Arriving with only a band of war-weary knights, MacLaren finds his land pillaged and his clan scattered. Determined to restore his clan, he sees Aila’s fortune as the answer to his problems…but maybe it’s the woman herself.


Wild Highland Magic by Kendra Leigh Castle
She's a Scottish Highlands werewolf, but no one's ever shown her how to use her powers…

Growing up in America with a father who hates his own nature, Catrionna MacInnes has always tried desperately to control her powers and pretend to be normal. Now her father has brought her and her sisters to Scotland to reunite with the pack they fled years ago…

He's a wizard prince with a devastating secret…

Bastian an Morgaine has found sanctuary among the MacInnes werewolf clan but no relief from the soul-searing curse that haunts him. The minute Cat lays eyes on Bastian, she knows she's met her destiny. In their first encounter, she unwittingly binds him to her for life, and now they're both targets for the evil enemies that are out to destroy their very souls…


Highland Rebel by Judith James
Amidst the upheaval of Cromwell's Britain, Jamie Sinclair's wit and military prowess have served him well. Leading a troop in Scotland, he impetuously marries a captured maiden, saving her from a grim fate.

A Highlands heiress to title and fortune, Catherine Drummond is not the woman Jamie believes her to be. When her people effect her rescue, and he cannot annul the marriage, Jamie goes to recapture his hellcat of a new wife...

In a world where family and creed cannot be trusted, where faith fuels intolerance and war, Catherine and Jamie test the bounds of loyalty, friendship, and trust...

As always, the e-books should be available through the Sourcebooks online store (clicking on the book titles will take you there), as well as at your favourite e-book retailer. The sale runs from July 12-18, 2011. While the prices may not have updated for the beginning of the sale at some retailers, Sourcebooks is very good at getting any delays ironed out quickly.

Bring on the Highlanders!!

I would totally watch a movie called "Men in Kilts", especially if by Mel Brooks! Awaken the Highland Warrior sounds like a great read!

he he he. Men in tights! I remember that one, it was funny. ;D And I'm with Alexia here, I'd sooooo totally watch a movie "Men in Kilts". lol.

These all sound like great reads!

@Alexia - Perhaps the movie idea should be pitched to Hollywood? I think a couple of these sound great. So far, all of the e-books I've acquired have been free downloads, but there may be worth investing in ;-)

@Melissa - I can just picture a scene, Marilyn Munroe style, with the Kiltie instead, lol.

Melissa (My World...in words and pages) said...

Oh goodness! I just got an image in my mind of a strong strapping man in a kilt, with beard and long hair pulled back strands hanging loose around his face. Standing holding the front of his kilt down as the back blows up. And the look trying for innocence and his mouth in the O shape of surprise. LOL! LMAO!! Oh, my... that would be soooo good!

Jackie said...

@Melissa - Exactly! I have tears now from laughing. I'm heading off to write the screenplay now... ;-)

Melissa (My World...in words and pages) said...

Oh goodness! You have to write it now! lol. And sell it big. ;D
