Here's my candidate for the week:

The Arrow by Monica McCarty
Publisher: Ballantine Books (August 26, 2014)
Series: Highland Guard, 9
Genre: Historical Romance


As King Robert the Bruce of Scotland plots to retake his English occupied castles, he needs the stealth and skill of his elite soldiers, the Highland Guard. Fearless and indomitable, no men are more loyal to their king, or cherished by the women they love.

The talents of legendary marksman Gregor “Arrow” MacGregor are crucial now, as Bruce moves to reclaim his Scottish holdings. Gregor is considered the most handsome man in Scotland, and his fame as an archer is rivaled only by his reputation with the lasses as a heartbreaker. But when his infamous face is exposed during a covert mission, Gregor is forced to lay low. He returns home only to find a new battle waiting: a daring game of seduction involving his now very grown up and very desirable ward, Cate of Lochmaben.

A born fighter, Cate was clinging to life when Gregor rescued her after a vicious English raid on her village left her mother dead. But five years later, the once scrappy orphan Gregor took under his protection has become a woman. Brave, strong, and skilled in warfare, Cate is determined to lay claim to the warrior who refuses to be trapped. The heat in his eyes tells her she has his attention . . . and his desire. But will Gregor allow his heart to surrender before danger finds them, and the truth of Cate’s identity is revealed?

Why?

Arms. Hint of abs. That is all. :)

I so love McCarty's Highlanders, though I admit that I am very much behind on both of her series. *sigh* Highly recommend, though, and her covers are ALWAYS worthy of L4C!

Love the ab-a-licious covers and Pat's cover is pretty. Well, I went with something fun and pretty.

Anna@herding cats&burning soup said...

Oh very lustable (and in Pat's case pretteh). Monica's are on my list for one day.

:) Ab-a-licious covers are some of the best, aren't they?

The_Book_Queen said...

Her books are great -- I loved The Saint, so so much. I've been thinking about trying her other books in audio so I can listen during workouts and walks, but I keep putting it off.

Lover Of Romance said...

I love McCarty's covers!!! They are the best! And stories to match too. And you know how I adore sexy highlanders, but this series is by far one of my favorites to read and re read!!

The_Book_Queen said...

Yes, she does have quiet a talent, doesn't she? I'm very curious to see if the audio format of her books are good. I may try it in the next few weeks.

Sophia Rose said...

I love McCarty's covers too. That second one has sizzle. And oh yes, the lady does have an expression. I like the sound of that story.
