THE HIGHLAND DRAGON'S LADY is Book two in Isabel
Cooper's Highland Dragon series. Although this book is
part of a series and also the first book I've read by
Isabel Cooper, I was still able to follow and enjoy the
story. THE HIGHLAND DRAGON'S LADY takes place at the tail
end of the Victorian era and Regina Talbot-Jones is a
pragmatic and modern young woman.
I like that, almost immediately, Regina and Colin are made
aware of their unique qualities -- Regina's extrasensory
perception and the fact that Colin is a dragon. There is
enough going on in THE HIGHLAND DRAGON'S LADY without
having to keep their special abilities secret from each
other. The romance that develops between Reggie and Colin
has some exquisite sexual tension and teasing that add
sparks. I also really like how they treat each other with
respect and that they genuinely like each other in addition
to being physically attracted to each other.
With THE HIGHLAND DRAGON'S LADY, Isabel Cooper creates a
wonderfully spooky atmosphere. I feel as though I can
almost see the ominous shadows and hear the ghost's fury as
I read along. The very real danger presented by the ghost,
as well as the seance and exorcism, lend a lot of
excitement and thrills to THE HIGHLAND DRAGON'S LADY. I
like the unusually subdued reactions by Reggie's family and
the other non-magical people to all the magical and
supernatural occurrences. I think that although some
characters are frightened and shocked by the strange things
that happen, but there isn't a feeling of hysteria or
denial about what's going on. This unique approach in a
paranormal historical is very refreshing.
THE HIGHLAND DRAGON'S LADY has a captivating romance in the
middle of a Good vs. Evil battle royale. The spooky
ambiance and chills and thrills add dimension to an
entertaining story. I look forward to reading more stories
by Isabel Cooper.
Regina Talbot-Jones has always known her rambling family
home was haunted. She also knows her brother has invited one
of his friends to attend an ill-conceived séance. She didn't
count on that friend being so handsome...and she certainly
didn't expect him to be a dragon.
Scottish Highlander Colin MacAlasdair has hidden his true
nature for his entire life, but the moment he sets eyes on
Regina, he knows he has to have her. In his hundreds of
years, he's never met a woman who could understand him so
thoroughly...or touch him so deeply. Bound by their mutual
loneliness, drawn by the fire awakening inside of them,
Colin and Regina must work together to defeat a vengeful
spirit-and discover whether their growing love is powerful
enough to defy convention.
