I really enjoyed this book! I read it every free chance I had. This book hooked me in within the first few pages. I was so upset about that poor little baby at the very beginning. (Maybe that's the mom in me, but I wanted to cry.) Then I thought, "is this book going to be all sad?" Thankfully, I was wrong. It isn't all sad.  This book was romantic, funny, engaging - a great read.The language and culture was depicted in such a way that I felt like I was back in Scotland in 1848. The descriptions of Shapinsay were beautiful. I could clearly picture the island - and its inhabitants - clearly in my mind. The author's research was obviously thorough, a job well done.Before this book, I had never read anything about selkies or their legends. I thought the author explained the legend well and weaved throughout the story appropriately.  The author did such a good job that I still don't know if Kait's love is true or if it because of Eamon's magical ability to lure her. But I cared about Kait and Eamon. I wanted them to work out. I wanted them to get together. I wanted to see what happened to the two of them. The author definitely kept me reading and wanting more. (In fact, I would love a sequel!)The secondary characters were fantastic as well. I cared about Blair. He was the "big" brother that really meant well but failed miserably. He and Kait are as close as ever. Tipper was always thought of as a crazy felkyo (witch) but she has a greater story that the reader must wait for. Magnum is a proud man who agreed with the wrong person to have Kait's heart.Would I recommend it: I would recommend this book to any lover of paranormal romance. It is different from most books of this genre in that there isn't a vampire or werewolf in sight...only the selkie.Will I read it again: I just may but this was not a book that I must read every year.(I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.)
