Hugh and his men are faced with fighting creatures only thought to live in legend but which have been brought to Earth by evil bent on annihilating all the realms. That is Hugh's life - and he loves it. At least he did until he found himself staring into the angelic, innocent face of Lady Mina of Stone Crest.

In all the time he has led the Shields Hugh has trusted his instinct to keep his men alive, yet now he doesn't know what to believe. Everything points to Mina as the evil summoning the creatures, but she proclaims her innocence. He should be able to see through her lies, if she is indeed lying, but his attraction to her blinds him to even that. The last time he found myself so drawn to a woman, it nearly cost him the lives of his men. Hugh cannot allow that to happen again. He won't allow that to happen again. Yet every time she looks at him, begging him with those blue-green eyes to believe her, he finds himself sinking further under her spell. Her mouth is a temptation mortal men will never know, and her love will either bring him the peace he thought he'd never find - or the death he's managed, thus far, to avoid.

It pulled me into the story right away and kept me wondering who was the villain.

Which character – as performed by Antony Ferguson – was your favorite?

Lady Mina

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When they were in the barn together, his fierceness to have her belong to him was amazing.

I love Donna Grants writing and am always looking for her next adventure to begin. Her highlander novels are incredible.

I can't wait to begin the next book.

i did enjoy this book it is kinda long winded though and does go on and on, narration though was extremely good and is what actually kept me interested had i had the actual book i probably would have put it down.

This is a mix of an old fashion historical romance and a fantasy all rolled up together, this includes the character development. Overall I enjoyed this story and I will continue with the next book to see what happens next. There were admittedly some parts to the book that did not jive with how people really react and while I was in disbelief I still enjoyed the storyline. I think the most annoying part was how long Hugh actually thought that Mina was part of the conspiracy. To me it was easy to figure out who the bad guys really were, but mostly I was reading this for the action and the romance so it works for me. Narrator was not too bad he had a nice voice, although he did sometimes use the wrong voice for the character he was portraying.

A good story, but it has its flaws.

I can appreciate characters developing throughout the story. However, I wasn't entertained by the characters. Didn't connect with the main characters and felt the story line prodded along. I liked the narration more than the plot.

Main characters exhibit high levels of anxiety and insecurities.

What can I say about this book, it was filled with misunderstanding after misunderstood. Get to the point already. The heroine was stupid and silly, I couldn't finish this book.

Dull, and more dull
