Maybe I can end this post with just the picture above?Â
Aw, well I guess I better elaborate on why we love Highlanders and what some authors had to say about those delicious men in kilts.
Why did you choose highlanders to write about?
I write about Highlanders because a) I fell in love with highland country, b) they’re my people, c) their diasporo resulted in exploration and settlement of the American wilderness in about 50 years flat, d) they make drinking whiskey sexy and e) they make kilts, period.Â
~ GRACE BURROWES~
I choose to write about Highlanders because they make the best heroes. And because I’ve always been drawn to Scotland. It’s just so natural for all my stories to be set there,Â
and for my heroes to be those hunky Highlanders. 🙂
 ~DONNA GRANT~
Because they typify the alpha hero – strong, protective of their own, a wild man who can be tamed only by that one woman meant just for him. Besides, I adore Scotland! ~Melissa Mayhue~
I chose to write about Highlanders because I love the culture and the idea of these strong, fierce warriors just trying to protect their people. ~Laura Hunsaker~
The only thing better then a man in a kilt, is Gerard Butler in a kilt. ~DemonLover~
What is the sexiest feature about a Highlander?
What do I find sexy about a Highlander? What DON’T I find sexy about a Highlander? Start with that gorgeous accent. Oh, my!Â
~Anna Campbell, author of Midnight’s Wild Passion.~
They’re the total package – all those traits mentionedÂ
above PLUS a wonderful accent AND a plaid!Â
~Melissa Mayhue~
The sexiest feature about a Highlander are a combination of things. Their brogue, the kilt, their brawn, their honor and loyalty to their family and land, and that alpha male quality they have!
~Donna Grant~
I love the arms, strong from swinging that heavy 2-handed sword.Â
~Laura Hunsaker~
The sexiest feature about a Highlander is a combination of physical toughness, mental agility, quirky humor, and endless heart. He’s usually got pretty good looking knees, too. ~ GRACE BURROWES~

I am an Avid reader and mother of 3 adult children. Now 7 years after creating my first blog, Demon Lover's Book & More; book blogging has become my passion. Creating www.GotFiction.com blog has allowed me the opportunity to review great books, make wonderful friends and meet amazing authors.
I think all the reasons I love Highlanders have been covered by all the amazing authors above. I am very new to them, but just the overall toughness, protective of those they love, the muscles and the accent! 😉
I too love Highlanders! Hunky, with heavy brogues, clueless when it comes to women, but loyal and honorable to a fault. My book HEART OF THE DRUID LAIRD is about a group of Scottish Highlanders cursed with immortality. It was fun to write. I also wrote TRUE TO THE HIGHLANDER, a time travel historical, but it’s not published yet. Soon, I hope. HERE’S TO HIGHLANDERS IN KILTS!
The way they protect with thier swords. Just love it. They are the fiercest protectors with the kindest hearts.And sexy as hell in those kilts and Tartans
I think the sense of family, belonging, and protectiveness are the things that keep me going back to Highlanders. Of course, imagining Gerard Butler in a kilt is a nice.
Swoon, I mean just SWOON…… I do love a sexy Highlander, and OMG Gerard Butler, My god, what puuuuurfectness *Sign* Now imagine the fantasies I could have with him in a kilt………
Um…Gerry in a kilt….sorry I know there was information and words, etc. in there somewhere but I just saw Gerry in a kilt…what was the question? The answer is Gerry.In.A.Kilt
LOL! I love this. How can you not love a highlander? I love the Gerard Butler and that pic is driving me insane *drools* I go gaga seeing a man in kilt. I love the accents. I love that they are muscular from hard labor LOL! They truly make great heroes. They are tough, but they have the heart of gold. They are amazing. Awesome post and giveaway, thank you so much 🙂
Highlanders are lovable because they are exactly what they appear to be. There is no facade, you always know where you stand with them and they’re hot (always a plus).
Five stars are like six-pack abs on a really tan, hunky guy not wearing much. They make us drool, we stroke them (the books, not the guys! - sometimes the guys...) and want to make sweet, sweet love to them. Five stars is the hottest, we mean, highest honor.
Four stars is a total hunkalicious of burning love, but maybe we didn't like his hair for some reason. We still think he's hot, and we're still going to recommend him, we mean, the book, to readers because it's a damn fine ass, we mean book.
Three stars = that awkward guy at the party. He's cute and you know he's cute, and if you look at him the right way, he even looks like Brad Pitt a little, but there are flaws. Surprisingly, he's good in bed (because you got drunk and shit happens).
Remember that - yeah we don't either.
One star is like expecting a somewhat attractive guy and being sent a Grumpy cat meme. We appreciate the effort, but no. This book was not for us. Grumpy cat might want to use it for litter though.
