Book 3  -- The Exile of the Glen -- is blooming wonderfully! 

With the release of book 2 scheduled for January 16, book 3 is beginning strong!  Look for an excerpt of The Exile of the Glen in The Lady of the Glen.  This story picks up with a character from The Lady of the Glen and tells what happens as plans go awry! 

Sexy Jay by M.D. Dalrymple

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Once again, of course I'm going to review it - I wrote it! This is a fun read if you like contemporary romance short stories.

"Time ceased to exist as we remained there, panting on the beleaguered bedding, the low light glistening off our sweat streaked bodies."

 Emma is working her way back into the dating scene since her divorce.  The bar scene in the modern age, though, is something altogether new.  With the help of some friends, she meets an exotic and intoxicating stranger. His magnetism pulls at Emma in a way she has not known in years.  Is this just another hook-up, or could this lead to something more?  

One Scandinavian tradition is to give the gift of books on Christmas Eve, and then spend the evening reading. That is what we are doing this year!  I am so excited at this prospect and of buying all five kids new books.

The Lady of the Glen -- Book 2 in the Glen Highland Romance Sneak Peek! 

    “I received a letter,” he told Torin. “It probably won’t amount to anything, but I have heard the woman is a force to be reckoned with, and I think, I know, that is what we need.”
       “But,” Torin hesitated, “ye do not even know the lass. Don’t ye want to find a woman ye love? What if ye aren’t even attracted to her? What if —” he paused a moment, choosing his words wisely. “What if she leaves like your own mam did? Are ye nay concerned with history?” 
       Declan reclined on a cot near the hearth. The fire and daybreak chased away the morning chill, and Declan used the moment to collect his thoughts, scratching absently at his golden beard. Questioning Declan’s choice, his oldest friend might understand his motives but still vehemently disagreed with the idea.  Declan knew without a doubt that the rest of the clan likewise would not be convinced. Declan turned his pale hazel eyes to Torin’s dark ones, trying to explain his motives.
     “I ken that women are often used as pawns in power struggles between clans, and men of power usually have the upper hand when it comes to a choice of brides. It should be that way for me, but when I see my clan in such condition, I know I must choose a wife who can help me get my life, my home, my clan in order. If she can do that, then I will love her no matter her reputation, or her appearance.”

SHORT STORY
**❤️FREE at the ProlificWorks link below or on KU! ❤️**

Can she open herself to a new man? Can she have a second chance at love?

Emma, reeling from a recent divorce, trying to find herself after years of identifying as "mom" or "wife," decides to take action. She signs up for a dating site and tells her friends she is on the prowl. One friend has an option for her -- a date with a sexy, dark-haired model. A night in paradise on Earth.

The problem? This is her first time back after nearly twenty years of marriage to one man. Can she bring herself to be intimate with a new man -- can she get "over the hump"?

As she drives to the hotel to meet this stranger, doubts about who she is, how she looks, and if she can be with another man, plague her.

Can she let go and succumb to the wiles of this hot date?
