*Book Tour & Giveaway* The Eilan Water Trilogy by Cherime MacFarlane-GUEST POST


The Other Side of Dusk
The Eilan Water Trilogy Book 1 
by Cherime MacFarlane
Genre: Historical Romance


The Romans are already there in force. The Antonine Wall stretches from the firth of Clyde to the firth of Forth. While the Romans pursue conquest on a grand scale, the Scotti are infiltrating Pictish territory slowly.
Ualan’s people are a mix of Pict and Scott. They face the Romans on one hand and the Picts on the other. Their hold is tenuous. Things take a terrible turn when Ualan’s someone kills his mother and sells him into slavery to a Roman woman.
She needs a stud, a young one who won’t challenge the master. Her life depends on producing an heir. Ualan hates her and all she stands for. Her plot backfires when an old soldier mentors the boy. He helps Ualan escape with their son. At home, his troubles are far from over. War with his Pictish kin looms, and the master seeks the child he declares is his, not Ualan’s. 

"A story of kinship, hard men and a constant readiness to face conflict are key ingredients in this superb story. The romantic interludes are painted with a deft hand and given the story, I would credit the sexual scenes as ‘hot’, rather than ‘cozy and heartwarming’.5 stars

GUEST POST

 I took charge.
Love is a quirky thing. Women in Alaska still have the upper hand with more men here than women. However, as the saying goes, ‘there are lots of goods, but the goods are odd’.  When selecting a man in Alaska, approach with caution. Years ago, I decided I’d had enough and told my husband of twenty years we were done. For a couple of years, I’d been watching the mechanic across the road. A good friend, each time I checked none of the local females had the brains to grab the guy.
Six years younger than him, I gave it a lot of consideration before making my move. Logic said he would get some young girl who wouldn’t appreciate him at all if I didn’t step in. I discussed what would happen with my teenagers. They planned to stay with Dad and finish school but assured me they would be okay with my leaving.
My marriage done, I walked across the road and into his shop. I told him I was all his, what was he going to do with me? We didn’t get far from his bed for close to a week. And we had twenty fantastic years together before he died. I should have walked across the road a lot faster than I did. The man was the love of my life.
