This story is just adorable! I think any woman would want to have a gorgeous sexy man visit  her dreams to provide illicit pleasures and rumpled sheets only to have him then pop up in the flesh at a her low point when she could really use some hot loving. Oh my Calan one hot, leather wearing, Harley riding, selkie!Maggie is having a rough go at life. She not only loses her job but when she goes to tell her fiancé she finds him in an interesting situation himself. While she is trying to put her life back together from these devastating blows she learns that her one and only living relative, her grandmother has passed on.As a selkie the sea constantly calls to Calan. It is his home, his refuge, and the one place he cannot go at the moment. Although the more time he spends with Maggie the more he realizes that he kind of likes his time on land, as long as it is time spent with her.Maggie and Calan together are a pleasure to read. They are fun and humorous, then sexy and intense. Calan has to earn Maggie's trust. She has been burned in her past and does not trust easy now. She also has to come to the realization that the "tales" she grew up on are more real than she ever imagined. Maggie also has to catch Calan's heart. He believes that humans cannot be trusted. They worked so well as a couple that they really did make an easy read.Even though Nora the grandmother was not an actual character I still loved her. She was one of those gran's that would maneuver people around to get them to do things her way. She's a grandmother so of course she knows best. The reasons behind Calan and Maggie's meeting are a perfect example. I loved how she acquired Calan's pelt. Go Gran! All of Maggie's memories of Nora were comforting and warm.My only complaints were the ex's. Two are present causing problems and creating stressful situations. Others are just mentioned a little too often in my opinion. I know it drives the sexual tension up, but I just prefer for the tension to come from other places. Overall great story and I will definitely be reading more from this author!book provided by author for the purpose of an honest review
