I was honored to be one of the first people to read this wonderful book. Being a part of the group that Victoria trusted to read for her. I was so happy that I did . It is set in Scottish highlands . With a beautiful young woman, her horse a man she doesn't yet know but is betrothed to and a dark secret that will change their lives for ever. The Black Douglas or as everyone likes to call him the Bogeyman. Is one hot, sexy highlander who is also a dragon shifter. He and his clan have kept Scotland safe. The one thing he doesn't want is a wife. How would he explain his alter to her . But along comes Abigale who steals his heart even though he is trying so hard not to let her in. Abigale is such a force to be reckoned with. She comes into his life and changes it forever.I can't believe that this is Victoria's first novel, she writes with such an intensity that makes you think wow where has she been hiding. Her characters are so well written and complex. She takes you to a fantasy when you start reading . You will be sucked in big time. The attraction that James and Abigale have for each other is unbelievable. You will be wanting to slap James upside the head when he tries to push her away . Trust me you want slap him a few times, I know I did. There are some great scenes where there is girl bonding between Alice and Effie. They are like the mother and sister Abigale never had living in the nunnery. Who wouldn't want a man like James 6ft 4 , built like a freight train and a sensitive soul. A man who would lay down his life for you . I so know I would love a man like that . insert big sigh here.  Actually all the men in the clan are hot hot hot.The author transport us to another place and time , this is the book to read this summer. So if you want to read a great story about highlanders, the women who love them and of course dragons . This is the book for you . Congratulations Victoria can't wait for book two
