If the good guys get drugged one more time, I'm going to scream!!!!!!!!!!!This story started out pretty harmless with the heroine, Elena, who gets terminated from her job and marital engagement, managing to outwit her ex-future father-in-law and secure herself a financial package and a place in Scotland for her troubles. While waiting in the airport, she encounters Faolan who is trying to get a seat on her airplane even though there are no seats available. And he succeeds! But this is just the beginning of the adventure that is to come. Faolan is there to spy on Elena and to find out her intentions in her trip. He manages to save her life from the get-go, incurring a stab wound while trying to protect her. Unbeknownst to Elena, Faolan is a shapeshifter with the wolf as his animal form. He and others have been cursed in becoming werewolves when the full moon arises.  Even though Faolan is extremely attracted to Elena and is sexually physical with her, he cannot complete the act because he has to find his "true heart" in order to lift the curse. Elena just wants to lose her virginity and is frustrated at every turn in trying to seduce Faolan into helping her lose her virginity.Elena is also becoming close to her housekeepers, Red and Lilly.  However, Red and Lilly are also keeping a secret from Elena and when it all comes out in the open, you will know how these two play into this whole story. Along the way, Elena also encounters the villians that want to kill her and then the whole magickal turn begins to evolve. What I don't understand is that there were several times that the bad guys could have been taken out but the good guys let them walk. That was frustrating! I kept screaming why they let them go so easily but then the story would have went a different way. And when Elena & Faolan found themselves in love half way into the book, you knew that their love would be tested and that it wasn't going to be an easy ride. Ok...the story was long....way long! There were a lot of things going on and other subplots taking place.You had to really follow along with the whole Druid story and the powers that were revealed and also that Elena is much more than who she thought she was. There were lots of revelations, distrust, betrayals, sadness, angst, heartache and loss, lies, evil, goodness...but in the end it is always the love between Elena & Faolan. It's about how they met, loved, lost and loved again. The parts when they were torn apart made me wonder if it was real or just a dream. It came so suddenly that as I was reading it, I was stunned and wasn't sure I was truly believing it was really taking place. It made me angry and sad wondering what the heck was going on. But later it was all explained. The sex between Elena & Faolan was so HOT and it happened quite a lot after the whole virginity thing was taken care of! I don't agree with some of the comments that said there were too much sex or that it was cheesy. I felt that these two people were so much in love and that they were soulmates - they couldn't keep their hands off of each other - it was totally passionate! All in all, it was a long story but it kept me glued in and that's what a story should do - keep you interested!
