Throwback Thursday is a new meme hosted by Buried Under Romance and Love Saves The World, and since I just love Historical Romance I decided to participate.
What Is Throwback Thursday?
Traditionally, Throwback Thursday celebrates nostalgia, asking participants to post a personal photo or image from their past--usually from 5 to 10 years ago. There are a lot of book blogs that also do a book related Throwback Thursday.
Here Are The Rules:
1. It must be posted on a Thursday.
2. It must be a historical romance novel published before October 3, 2008
Journey with Cathy
Maxwell to nineteenth-century Scotland...a land of romance and dreams.
There, away from the stifling ballrooms and idle gossip of London, a
debutante hopes to find a life she could only have imagined...and a
noble Highlander discovers that the truest love of all awaits him in the
form of an unexpected bride-to-be...
He was a man exiled from society -- handsome, unpredictable, and proud. Dark rumors surrounded his name. But Anne Burnett had signed a marriage contract binding her to Aiden Black, the Earl of Tiebauld. And although she'd never met him, she's determined to keep her word and make theirs a marriage in truth. Because a well-bred lady with little fortune to recommend her has no choice. From the moment she arrived, Anne fell in love with Kelwin Castle and its roguishly handsome laird. By day, he instills a fierce loyalty in his people with his masterful ways...and by night, he tempts Anne to surrender her innocence to him. But while he is willing to offer his body. Aiden refuses to give Anne his heart...making her wonder what prevents him from truly claiming her as his wife.

This was one of my earlier romances, when I was first starting out. I haven't read it in a long time, but I fell in love with this style of plot and the way this author weaved her story. This is one of the books that made me fall in love with highland romances. A story full of romance and adventure and the rich culture of Scotland.
