Character Study
I have a full 5-star review coming out for The Highland Duke tomorrow at Straight Shootin' Book Reviews. However, I couldn't resist creating a playlist for this truly exceptional historical romance. Seriously everyone, I loved this book with every breath in my body. It's worth a pre-order for historical, highland romance fans!
I based this playlist almost solely on the "feel" and lyrics of the songs. As such, the musical genres are all over the map. The intention and soulfulness of all five songs do match up with Kira and Geordie's journey in my mind though!

“Star of the Show” by Thomas Rhett
Cause everywhere we go girl
You're the star of the show
And everybody's wondering and wanting to know
What's your name?
Who's that girl, with the prettiest smile in the world?
Oh, what gets me the most is you don't even know
That you are, you are, you are
The star of the show
You're the star of the show, yeah, baby
Cause everywhere we go girl
You're the star of the show
And everybody's wondering and wanting to know
What's your name?
Who's that girl, with the prettiest smile in the world?
Oh, what gets me the most is you don't even know
That you are, you are, you are
The star of the show
You're the star of the show, yeah, baby
“Bloom” by The Paper Kites
When the evening pulls the sun down,
And the day is almost through,
Oh, the whole world it is sleeping,
But my world is you.
When the evening pulls the sun down,
And the day is almost through,
Oh, the whole world it is sleeping,
But my world is you.
“Till I Fall Asleep” by Jayme Dee
Can we go back before the storm came raging?
And everything we built was gone
So sing to me til I fall asleep
Like the way you did when you were still mine
So sing to me til I fall asleep
Like the way you did when you were still mine
And tell me that it's not over yet
We were never good at saying goodbyes
Can we go back before the storm came raging?
And everything we built was gone
So sing to me til I fall asleep
Like the way you did when you were still mine
So sing to me til I fall asleep
Like the way you did when you were still mine
And tell me that it's not over yet
We were never good at saying goodbyes
“Don't Let Me Down” by Conor Maynard
I need you, I need you, I need you right now
Yeah, I need you right now
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
I think I'm losing my mind now
It's in my head, darling I hope
That you'll be here, when I need you the most
So, so don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
Don't let me down
I need you, I need you, I need you right now
Yeah, I need you right now
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
I think I'm losing my mind now
It's in my head, darling I hope
That you'll be here, when I need you the most
So, so don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
Don't let me down
“How Long Will I Love You” by Ellie Goulding
How long will I love you
As long as stars are above you
And longer if I can
How long will I need you
As long as the seasons need to
Follow their plan
How long will I love you
As long as stars are above you
And longer if I can
How long will I need you
As long as the seasons need to
Follow their plan
