Meanwhile, Not in Scotland
Why are they standing in the rose bush? Surely there’s somewhere more practical to be standing? Or a tree to lean on? Or something? I realise there’s no refuge to be found in the miniature castle, but there does appear to be a lawn! GET IT TOGETHER SKYE O’MALLEY AND GUY WITH A FAKE TAN!
Indomitable and bold in an era of royalty and rogues, Skye O'Malley is a woman who embraces her unbridled sensuality as valiantly as she fights for her children, her lovers, her empire. A woman of justice and honor, she will match wits with and challenge the most dangerous and powerful woman of her time: Queen Elizabeth I.
Though Skye is the object of every man's fantasy, only a handful have had the thrill of tasting her enticing passions men whose own daring adventures match her exotic forays into a world of lust, longing, and remarkable destiny. Skye's is a stunning tale that reaches from the emerald hills of Ireland to the lush palaces of Algiers to the helm of a shipping empire, where she will wage her greatest battle for love and vengeance against the crown itself.
I realised, as I read this, a great many things.
If you want to write about Grace O’Malley, write about Grace O’Malley.
Elizabeth I will crush her like a tiny insect. Why? Because she’s Elizabeth I. SHE CRUSHED SPAIN. Some pirate with a shipping empire isn’t going to bother her too much. She thinks foul scorn that Parma or Spain or any prince of Europe should dare to invade the borders of her realm! By which I mean she will kill you. A LOT.
It’s nice to see a heroine who is a bit of goer and none the worse for it.
PUNCTUATION IS A THING.

Castle Twig has a new Magic Emporium!
now all the alchemists, mages, wizards, and other fun critters who live in the castle have a great source for their potions and experiments… even Jiji is wide-eyed (maybe too many gumballs)

Highland Fire
That is one HECK of a look they're sharing. It's so intense that they've failed to notice that HIS HEAD IS ON FIRE, THE MOON HAS CHANGED SHAPE, AND THE CASTLE IS TOO MINIATURE TO TAKE SHELTER IN!
THE END TIMES ARE UPON US!
As the Scottish clans prepare to battle England for sovereignty, two flame-haired Highland beauties - born twins, orphaned and separated at birth - are haunted by the eerie vision of a sister who seems more dream than reality.
I’m kinda surprised that the Scottish clans weren’t preparing to fight the Scottish clans… I also can’t help but notice that although the synopsis describes the heroines as “flame-haired”, the woman on the cover is blonde.
Maybe the end-times aren’t quite so on us after all.
ON THE OTHER HAND, let's take a moment to admire the fact that this is the first time I've ever seen separated-at-birth twins feature. I'm assuming the other sister is either:
a) a faerie,
b) an alien,
c) a time-travelling American,
d) all of the above,
e) some combination of the above.
I'm also assuming that one heroine is English and the other is Scottish (and, hopefully, werewolves).
It is gloriously refreshing to see that no man has been mentioned in the (admittedly brief) synopsis - it's almost as if a plot can be driven without pants feelings being involved, even if the cover implies there's at least one.
THE END TIMES ARE UPON US!

Everything in Queen Mary's Doll House is fully functioning: lights, plumbing, books, and furniture. It was a craftsman's gift to Queen Mary in the 1920's, and is still on display in Windsor Castle.
