Book Synopsis:
A modern day psychiatrist and a dragon shifter stranded in time can't escape their destiny, no matter how unlikely it seems.
In a cave deep beneath Inverness, a dragon shifter stirs and wakens. The cave is the same and his hoard intact, yet Lachlan senses something amiss. Taking his human form, he ventures above ground with ancient memories flooding him. But nothing is the same. His castle has been replaced by ungainly row houses. Men aren’t wearing plaids, and women scarcely wear anything at all.
In Inverness for a year on a psychiatry fellowship, Dr. Maggie Hibbins watches an oddly dressed man pick his way out of a heather and gorse thicket. Even though it runs counter to her better judgment, she teases him about his strange attire. He looks so lost—and so unbelievably handsome —she takes him to a pub for a meal, to a barbershop, and then home. Along the way the hard-to-accept truth sinks in: he has to be a refugee from another era.
Never a risk-taker, Maggie finds her carefully constructed life changed forever. Swept up in an ancient prophecy that links her to Lachlan and his dragon, she must push the edges of the impossible to save both the present and her heart.
Review:
Though categorized as a paranormal romance, I would also categorize To Love a Highland Dragon by Ann Gimpel as fantasy. There was a time when I was a huge fantasy fan, but then all the books began to sound alike and I got bored with the genre. This book is far from boring. I absolutely LOVED the characters, the language the author uses, and her descriptions. She does a great job at showing you what's going on rather than just telling you. I can't wait to read book two!
Thank you very much, Amy! I'm so glad you enjoyed Lachlan, Maggie, and the dragon, Kheladin.
