This was an enjoyable novella that I found reminiscent of the Gene Kelly movie “Brigadoon”; an enchanted realm hidden from the world in the highlands and the lovers one from within and one from outside.Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to recognize the person who is your mate? Life would be so much easier for all of us if that were possible. In this story it is for magic exists and makes it so for those under an enchantment. Lucien has searched for years and finally has found the woman who is his mate. Now he just has to convince Isabelle to leave all that she knows and return with him to Drahcir before time runs out. Not an easy task to convince someone that magic and hidden realms exist. The connection between the two characters was sweet and sexy and the story kept my attention. Though they only knew each other for a short time before they headed to the hidden realm the relationship did not feel rushed, it felt that it progressed as it should have. This is the first in this series, followed by the stories of Lucien’s brothers and their searches. I look forward to the next one.One thing of note: this is the second work that I have read of this author where an editor was needed. There were a number of issues an editor would have picked up on. These were not bad enough to detract from enjoyment of the story but enough to halt reading while one made the corrections in their mind. As an avid reader I prefer not to have to stop to do so.
