Historical Paranormal Romance

 

It’s London 1819 and a child is missing.  Morgan McAfee, a self confessed Druid is sent to help the head of London’s Criminal Investigation Department to find the child.  Chief Inspector Lord Lance Dellafield is not a man who believes in visions and auras.  He’s handsome, aristocratic and condescending, but the sexual tension mounts at their every meeting.  Then when a serial murder terrorises London, he still won’t admit to her powers.  But her emerald eyes just won’t go away and every woman he meets can’t compare to her.  Morgan has to help him if he wants to solve this case and he will have to acknowledge she does have some kind of power.  Then the murderer stalks Morgan and Lance needs to save her.  Is it time for him to at last admit that a Druid has captured his heart?      

This is a delightfully, entertaining story that drew this reviewer in on the first page.  This reviewer really liked Ambrose the dog who did a wonderful job in protecting the heroine and who seemed to be just as mysterious and magical as Morgan herself.  Ms. Stewart draws her readers back in history to a time when the English police have just gotten established and Jack the Ripper had already caused havoc in the city.  Morgan is a confident, self-assured woman who is comfortable in her powers and is not afraid to come out in the open about them.  Lance is more of a worldly type of man and this reviewer felt like hitting him up the side of the head a few times.  However, he does redeem himself and Ms. Stewart sure knows how to write a very sensual, romantic love scene.
