Synopsis: Faelan is from an ancient clan of Scottish Highland warriors, charged with shielding humanity from demonic forces. Betrayed and locked in a time vault, he has been sleeping for nearly two centuries when spunky historian Bree Kirkland inadvertently wakes him. She’s more fearsome than the demon trying to kill him, and if he’s not careful, she’ll uncover the secrets his clan has bled and died to protect…
When Bree inherits an old treasure map, she discovers a warrior buried in her backyard. But the warrior isn’t dead. Bree shocks Faelan with her modern dress and her boldness, and he infuriates Bree every time he tries to protect her.
With demons suddenly on the move, Bree discovers that Faelan’s duty as protector is in his blood, and that her part in this fight was destined before she was born. But nothing is ever what it seems…
Review: I took my time reading this book because it was that good. I liked the story, and loved the characters. I don’t want to give too much of the story away but if you like nosey heroines, alpha males, the paranormal, with a bit of magic and action thrown in then this is your book.
The story is well developed and the characters are well defined so that you interact with them easily. They are funny and the dialogue is witty and the action is not bad at all. Like I said there is a little in there for everybody, but mostly it was the interaction between the two lead characters that did it for me. The “out of his time period” hero trying to figure out the new times he is living in and deal with all the “new” things around him and (what he perceives) as the crazy woman who saved him.
I loved the story and loved the time I spent reading it.
