Romance Historical

As a newcomer to this series, I was a little stunned by how fantastic I thought it was! Author Donna Grant had me captivated by the first few pages and the story just kept getting better from there! The plot was fast-paced, high-action, and filled with snippets of Scottish history. The way that Grant was able to add in her Druid legends in with the Highland story was very much appreciated by me. I simply loved the story behind the story and all the little extras that have me looking forward to the next book of the series. Galen, as the hero of the story, was everything that a manly man should be. He was strong, he was steamy, and he was written to be real. This was a man on a mission that really didn't appreciate the distraction before him, but he was more than willing to be distracted. A man of action I simply loved Galen and his hearty appetite for things more than food! Reaghan was a perfect match for him. Reaghan was a strong heroine, able to hold her own with the big boys. Yet she was willing to take the protection and shelter that was offered to her. I was very happy with the fact that she wasn't a woman who just let the man protect her as some heroines are. Reaghan remained a woman of her own mind throughout the book. It was fun watching these two fall in lust and unravel the mystery of love together!

Reaghan has always lived in the Druid village next to Loch Awe. This is the life she has always known, yet she is plagued with dreams of faraway places. People she shouldn't know, places she has never been. Reaghan has decided that she will leave the only home she has ever known to find the answers that seem to be locked in her mind. Until a chance encounter with two warriors changes everything she has ever known. Never has Reaghan felt the stirrings of longing, never has she found a man attractive; but the warrior standing before her has rattled her senses like no other has. Willing to follow him to keep her people protected, Reaghan knows that the fight has just begun. Will she survive the darkness and find the light with Galen or will her people be sought beyond the gates of MacLeod Castle?

Galen has traveled across country to find an ancient Druid relic. A relic said to be so powerful that it alone can stop an old enemy that they thought defeated, but Deirdre had found a way back to the living. MacLeod castle and the warriors and Druid's that occupied it were threatened again. The existence of his people rested on Galen's success. Yet, the beautiful woman before him has captured his attention, she has captured his lust, and she may have captured his soul. He is a man without family and a man who has nothing to offer her. Galen knows that he will stop at nothing to help Reaghan find her memories, her life, and hopefully find her home beside him.

But Reaghan holds a secret power deep inside her that could destroy them both. And if Galen hopes to hold this captivating woman in his arms every night, he must defeat the darkness that draws closer around her every day….
