Get ready for a romance that will melt the plaid right out of your kilt. Highland Shift by Laura Harner has dipped its pages into several hot genres, contemporary romance, erotic romance, paranormal romance, romantic mystery and intrigue, (see a pattern here?) while including shifters, fae, druids, and ancient curses and prophecies. So what’s not to like? Elena MacFarland is an educated, independent woman who has just had her world blown apart and having made a deal with the devil, so to speak, is now the owner of a worn down farmhouse in the Scottish Highlands. The farm will remain in her possession unless she dies within six months of ownership. Seeing some intrigue here? There is something special about her new home, it holds more secrets than can be imagined, just waiting for the right person to come along and free them from their confines.Enter Faolan MacGailtry, hot, handsome, intense, protective, and oh yes, he goes furry, as in wolf furry ever since he was cursed, a few hundred years ago. The secret to breaking this curse is buried within both the farmhouse and Elena, but even she isn’t ready for what is about to happen to her life! Could it be possible that Faolan is her destiny? Will she live long enough to find out? Can she and Faolan learn to trust in one another? Their chemistry is off the charts hot, but, as always, there is more to love than sex.Laura Harner has done an amazing job of blistering her pages with INTENSE, smoldering sex, yet balances that flame with the chilling danger that permeates her tale. Elena is simply an amazing character, strong yet off-balance, off her game and vulnerable to forces she has no experience with. Faolan is all bad boy charm, intense warrior, protective lover in turn. As the story unfolds, even the satellite characters become like friends, love their love and loyalty to Faolan. Magical, mysterious and sometimes downright scary, each layer that unfolds, each scene that is played out on my mental movie screen paints the results of a well-told tale from the pen of a talented author.
