Moon Awakening

Sent to the Scottish Highlands to marry the laird of the Sinclair, Emily Hamilton discovers that hatred of the English runs deep and that her only friend is the laird’s sister Cait. So when the laird of Balmoral kidnaps Cait to redress a wrong done to his clan, Emily manages to ensure that she is also taken. Besides Lachlan, the Balmoral laird, fascinates in her in a way that she has never experienced before.

As laird of his clan, Lachlan’s duty is to marry a femwolf to ensure that his children will be Chrechte and fit to lead the clan. So why is this mere human, and English to boot, awakening desires that he was not aware existed?

Take a bit of Scottish Highland, a dab of a plain spoken Englishwoman, a drop of intrigue, mix well and then fold in the a race of shifters and you have Lucy Monroe’s MOON AWAKENING. Readers will be grabbed by the strong characters, the lush scenery and the savage time and will not be able to come up for air until the satisfying conclusion. It is all too easy to see why Ms. Monroe is causing quite the stir among the lovers of the paranormal.

This reader especially enjoyed watching the relationship between Emily and Lachlan unfold. He is a strong leader and is unaccustomed to being stood up too, especially by a mere slip of a girl. It was amusing to see just how long the answer ‘Because I am the laird” would suffice. Emily, though a nobleman’s daughter, would never be considered a Lady. She is too hot tempered and plain spoken. She is also tender hearted to a fault and willing to place herself in danger to try to save her friend. These two are prefect for each other yet the path to their discovering this fact is a delight to read.

This reviewer highly recommends MOON AWAKENING to any reader who enjoys historical novels set in the Scottish Highlands and to readers who love the genre of paranormal romance. Rush out and get your copy today!
