Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (fine romantic suspense thriller) 『The Time Raiders send psychic Alexandra Patton back to 60 A.D. so that she can bring back part of the medallion that will enable Earth to join the alliance of other space-traveling planets. Alex loathes the brutal feral behavior of her hosts; as she speaks to the dead who often are victims of atrocities.
Alex pretends to be a soul speaker priestess to the goddess Andraste when she and Queen Boudica's Druidic cousin Caradoc meet and are attracted to one another. As she falls in love, he helps her adjust to ancient times. However, she knows that Boudica will die in the battle for Londinium, but fears Caradoc will too though she does not know for certain.
The third Time Raiders romantic suspense thriller (see The Seeker by Lindsay McKenna and The Slayer by Cindy Dees) is an entertaining tale that hooks readers from the opening dialogue between Alex and the dead but restful Andred and keeps the audience's attention throughout. The spin to the exciting story line is what the time traveler knows about ancient Britannia and does not as Alex fears her beloved will die alongside his famous warrior cousin. This tale and the saga are winners due to a strong casting leading to readers wanting to accompany the heroes on their treks back in time to find the medallion segments and love.

(A good story but same format) 『Ms Cast does a great job of writing about white women and thier goddess' within. This story is no diffrent from the other books as Alex/Blouwen travels thru time and becomes a soul seeker. This story was quick and reminded me of Cast's prior writings...All where the woman is living a ho-hum life and gets pulled into another life that at first is deceitful until the heroine decides to accepts her fate and then all works out in the end with powers abound and a new exciting life. Where else but in Ms. Cast stories can a goddess get a lover who is accepting AND ten years younger! ;} You want a REAL challenge Ms. Cast - write a story about a goddess of a different culture/nationality like Oriental, African, Egyptian, Incan, Indian, Hindu.』 『For Alexandra Patton, the Time Raiders project sends the reluctant psychic back to 60 AD Briton—a world where she can barely understand the accents, let alone its culture of brutality and superstition. Armed only with her "freakish" ability to talk to the dead, Alex must use all her gifts to entice Caradoc, a savagely sexy Druid warrior, into helping her succeed in her mission.
What they discover along the way is pure passion.
Now, torn between duty and the man of her dreams, should Alex return home if given the chance? Or dare she risk everything to begin anew in this strange and mystical land?』

It started out a little slow, then caught my interest until, for the umpteenth time I read that he loved his wife but he couldn't stand her. Even though there were children I found it hard to believe that if they were so unhappy for YEARS that Jack stayed married to Amarylis AND remained monogamous.
I know Jack had a lot of baggage because of what happened during the Civil War. Also, his marriage was poisoned for a long time but I got tired of Lissa/Tess constantly trying to fix things between her and Jack through the first half of the book and Jack never believing her. Jack saw that Lissa was different (it was like night and day) and she never gave him a reason to doubt her after she "changed". The book also had a quick secondary story that seemed hurried at the end.
Still, there was something about the story that was nice. I just can't recommend it. I'll try some other titles by this author since I know she has potential for a better story.』
(Very slow.) 『I am a HUGE Kristin Hannah fan! I absolutely LOVE many of her books. This one, however, was very slow. I was over half way through it before it started to "pick up" and spark my interest. The ending is triumphant so it wasn't a total waste. It's an easy read. Classic Hannah character development. Overall, ok. Not her best.』
(Disappointed.......) 『I had only read one book by this author previously and found that one to be a fast paced story that only took a couple of days to read but what I enjoyed about it the most was the omission of foul language. I am not a prude and most of the books I read do have some offensive language in them. But this book "Once In Every Life" was filled with profanity, and especially the use of God, Jesus, and Christ in conjunction with swearing. Far more than was necessary to get the author's point across. I am disappointed as I ordered three of her books at the same time and I am hoping they are more like the first book but afraid they will be like this one. Ms. Hannah ruined a beautiful story by using too many pages for swear words. Just one reader's humble opinion.....』
(fantastic love story and a Worthy HERO) 『The previous reviews have pretty much said all there is to say about the basic storyline - but after always complaining about emotionally battered h's - i wanted to say how refreshing it was to read about a Hero's side after him going through the abuse.
I loved how the H recovered from this and how the heroine truly helped him. I could rave and rave about how good it felt to read about a Hero who's had a tough life without punishing the heroine because of it - but i'll leave it with a 'book well worth reading'.

(Love it! Great great book) 『Emotionally strong and passionate. The characters really makes you ache with sympathy and compassion. I loved it from beginning to end. My only complain... and this is very minor... is that a few things tends to be repetitious. The mentioning of that pain and far in his eyes, for instant, is used a little too often. Not that it fails to draw one's compassion every time... I just thought a few new adjectives and nouns here and there wouldn't hurt.』 『Tess Gregory's brilliant career as a research scientist hides her longings for husband and child. Though deaf, she is a free spirit -- a woman full of life and love. She is struck down all too soon. But for Tess, a new life begins at her death, in post-Civil War America. She is now Amarylis Rafferty, wife and mother of three -- and she can hear. Shocked and disoriented by her new surroundings, she is drawn into the savage heartache burdening the family, especially her husband, Jack, a man who fears himself capable of anything. 』

I've read other authors that have merged their contemporary series with a new paranormal series, but that isn't what Ms. Foster is doing. She isn't launching a new paranormal series and the premis of this book just doesn't fit within the SBC world that she has created. So with that said...
The book as a stand alone is really good. It's not some great paranormal romance, but it's a fun read. I gave it four stars instead of five, because it lacked some follow through. *POSSIBLE SPOILER* In one part of the book Kaylie is explaining to Michael about the future and how things work. But it doesn't make sense. Everything is voice activated and controlled by supercomputers, but you still have to have a remote for the television (or halographic projector)? And also, supposedly the world has been broken up into these colonies ruled by individual "monarchies" and these colonies sometimes war against each other (hand-to-hand combat only). So with all this warring and lack of communication between the colonies, how do they have the 500+ television channels Kaylie talks about? Who is around to record them and broadcast? The colony Michael and Kaylie are in is only a few hundred people (maybe a thousand) surely not enough to make and broadcast 500+ channels. And the whole total virgin thing was incredibly stupid. They have access to 500+ channels and can download and learn all types of information, but they can't learn more than the basics about sex?
It's a good book if you can get past the out of place story line and the lacking background information. Read it for fun, but pretend it isn't an SBC novel. The sneak peak of Drew's book (SBC #5) looks much more promising!』
(Future is bright for Micheal) 『This is a cute love story. It does have quite a bit of language so be forewarned. Mallet Manchester is in the hospital, his fighting career is over. His legs are irreparably smashed. Along comes a slight blonde beauty that promises him health and wholeness if he would come with her. Is he mad or hallucinating? Is Kayli real or just a product of a pain hazed mind? He choses to go with her and find the life he's always wanted. 』
(DEFINITELY shouldn't have been part of this series but.......) 『I had read the reviews of this book (almost all really bad) but decided to give it a shot anyway. I have to agree that this book was a total waste of a great character from this series considering how good the other books have been. BUT I thought the story line wasn't all that bad if you're looking for a light feel good romance. I wish she had written this as a stand alone book instead.』
(Like the book BUT) 『I can understand why people disliked or even hated this book. This book is NOT and should NOT be lablled under the SBC Fighters series. Because I'm warning you now, it's not.
The only reason why I liked this book is the interaction by the two characters.
However, the one thing that bothered me was that not once did Michael step back and think to himself, "Do I really want to stay here in the future with a bunch of strangers, away from my friends and family - never to see them again?" He pretty much accepted his situation and decided pretty much on the first day that he wanted a union with her. Pretty unbelieveable. Oh and for the future, they were pretty behind with the times.』
(Read her other ones first.....) 『Lori Foster is one of my favorite authors. She cleverly combines romance, humor, intelligence and steamy love scenes that keep her books on my shelves so that they can be re-read over and over. The characters are finely drawn and wonderfully complete. All of her books are 'keepers'...except this one. It was at the 2nd hand bookstore before you can say, 'WTF?????'
If you are new to Lori Foster, please read her other titles before reading this one. You will fall in love with the characters and fully developed plots that the other titles offer.
While reading My Man Michael, I remember thinking...'man...her publisher must have called her midstream and insisted she add in some funky paranormal, vampire or sci-fi tweak to her next book'. The entire plot line felt as if it just dropped in from outer space #pun intended# and in no way jives with the previous books in this series. I'm all for authors growing their craft and trying new things, but this one felt contrived and just absurd. Had it been the start of a new series of similar themes I think it would have been better received.
We all have times at our jobs where we could have done much better with a project...that's how I feel about My Man Michael.
But of course, you know I'll buy anything else she writes becuase she's just THAT GOOD!』 『Knocked out in one world, he’ll take on another.
On the verge of a title shot match, fighter Michael“Mallet” Manchester is injured in a car accident. And just as quickly as his career was taking off, it’s over. Then Kaylie Raine appears, offering him a second chance at becoming whole. Even though Mallet thinks it’s the pain medication talking, he accepts her challenge.

Her words bring to life the ancient Chinese kingdom and court of Wu Jao - she ropes in all 5 senses of the reader on this fast-paced time-travel adventure. The only complaint? I wanted more!! It was over with much too soon. I will certainly buy the other novels in this series.』
(fascinating romantic suspense science fiction thriller) 『As part of Project Anasazi Air Force Lieutenant Cassandra Jones and Major Max Brody are sent back in time to the seventh century Chinese Tang dynasty in order to retrieve another piece of the twelve pieces scattered in time and place alien bronze medallion also known as the Karanovo Stamp. Once all the pieces are gathered and assembled, the stamp will enable Earth to join other worlds of the Pleiadian Council.
Max is uncomfortable with time travel and ET but trusts his former CO General (R) Ashton who recruited him from duty in Iraq. He does not trust his traveling companion Cassie as he holds her responsible for the accidental death of his friend Captain Jerry Holland at the academy where she was working as a weather officer. Using the device found in the Roswell crash, they go back to the reign of the Empress Wu Jao. However, he has no time for his suspicions and disdain when the alien Centaurian race tries to abort their mission as they want the Stamp. Cassie's uncanny weather changing sixth sense proves critical to them staying alive long enough to have a chance to accomplish the mission.
The latest Time Raiders romantic suspense science fiction thriller is a fast-paced tale that flows on two interrelated subplots. First there is the retrieval mission and second there is the major's personal investigative mission. Although the Centaurians seem like wusses in the seventh century and in Arizona, fans of the sage will enjoy the action-placed fourth entry (see The Avenger by P.C. Cast, The Seeker by Lindsay McKenna and The Slayer by Cindy Dees).

This is unlike any other time travel book I've read before. Not only do the main characters zip back and forth between time periods, but the woman's ex-fiancee bounces back to the past as well.
With a Tina Leonard book I know it's going to be light-hearted and a short, quick romance, but this was just too weird (all the zipping back and forth).
If you like Tina Leonard I'd personally wait for her next book and pass on this one. It definitely wasn't worth the time it took me to read it.』 『Dillinger Kent is getting ready for a lonely Christmas on his Texas ranch.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Mediocre.) 『I read this one several months ago. It had an interesting plot, funny moments with the wizard&his girlfriend, but somehow, something about it annoyed me, that I can't quite put my finger on.
I think maybe it was how the heroine never seemed to get past her way of talking like a cab driver. It just grated on my nerves to no end. Also, there is something about this author's writing style that I wasn't particularly fond of, but to pinpoint it is difficult.
There are so many other worthy time travels out there to read. I would recommend "Enchanted Time" by Amy Elizabeth Saunders, "A Perfect Love" by Sandra Landry, and "The Bushwaeked Groom" by Eugenia Riley, before succumbing to reading such a mediocre-at-best read like this one. All of those stories have depth, characters you care about, humor in the right places, etc., and even time travel that seemed a bit more plausible than this one did.
Now, with that said, I am not oppossed to reading more of Victoria Alexander's work in the future, however, I'm not in a huge hurry to do so.
1-10 scale: 9.0 at best』
(Falls far short) 『Okay, I was thinking I couldn't lose with this one. Time travel - good. Medieval times - good. Romance - good. Ha! This particular mix is not good. It has its moments - the character of Merlin is particularly memorable. However, the whole premise has faults - Camelot? Galahad? Hunting for the Holy Grail? It's all so fabled already that it would take greater talent than Ms. Alexander's to add to its mythology.
I particularly couldn't believe the main character, Tessa. She's an assistant professor of literature, yet she behaves so juvenilely about her clothing and the inconveniences of the past? Please - grow up. I liked Galahad for the most part; although, what's the poor guy supposed to do with that name in the 20th century?
I have yet to read more Alexander books. I hope the rest are better. For truly excellent time-travel romance, check out Lynn Kurland.』
(A moving and magical romance) 『It can make anyone a believer with its touching magic. Although it doesn't hold quite true to the Arthurian legend as we know it,still its story has a few twists on their own to make it worthwhile.』
(Wonderful) 『I normally do not read many time travel books, especially thos wrtiten about medival times. I cannot believe these women are not instantly burned at the stake as witches. Modern women just don't fit the time period. This book works because there is a magician involved that the people, he serves, believe can do anything. It is a very nice love story.』
(Camelot and Love + Time Travel = Great Book) 『I love Victoria Alexander books especially this one! What happens when you have a modern time girl travel back in time to Camelot? A great story. Filled with lots of laughs and tears this book will keep you turing the pages.
Oh and look out for Merlin.....he really is a crafty little guy!』

Blythe lives in the future and takes a travel tour to the distant past which happens to be the Scottish Highlands of 1785. This is where she meets Darach. Blythe works for a company called Ecstasy INC which basically is a company that is hired out to make people happy. Blythe discovers Darach and decides that it is her job to make him happy. He on the other hand doesn't exactly feel like he is unhappy. She goes about doing her analyzing stuff to him and he resists the whole way. Darach feels sexual pleasure is the key to happiness and this is where him and Blythe have their turmoil. It was a fun story, easy reading and I like the way Ms. Bangs writes. There was some sexual content but I wouldn't consider it overly done. It actually went right along with the story and wasn't just thrown in for good measure. I thought the book was enjoyable and would recommend it for a good time travel paranormal type read.』

I think the comparison to Outlander is unfair - what, no one is allowed to ever again write another book about time travel or kilts? The book actually reminded me more of The Fugitive than anything else. I liked the heroine and her story - really interesting to see her ordeal unravel and watch her make decisions and research the past, tying it to the present. The one thing that was missing for me was the romantic connection...I'm not sure I would call it a love story...it was more of a lust story. I never really saw the love connection, especially from Black Niall's viewpoint. It seemed like he was always ditching her, and then later when he got a little horny, he would miss her and wish he hadn't left her behind. All in all, it was a great read and I'd recommend it for anyone who wants to read a romantic novel with a little bit of history, sci-fi, and suspense rolled in. 』
(Surprisingly Good!!) 『When I read that this book was a time travel romance I was a little sceptical about reading it. I find those type of books to be pretty chessy sometimes. This book was pretty good. I did at one point wish that the time travel happened sooner in the book but then Grace wouldn't have gotten the proper time to mourn her husband and brother. I loved the fact that she became street smart to survive and held her own when she needed to defend herself. The intense chemistry between Grace asnd Niall was intense. You just knew that it was going to be explosive once these characters got together. Linda Howard did a great job of building up their chemistry over time. Good Book!』
(Helplessly addicted) 『I became somewhat addicted to Linda Howard after Cry No More and have read some of her other books - some great, some not so great. I kept seeing references to Son of the Morning by reveiwers and at first I wasn't sure about it. But here I am, just now reading it, 10 years after it was written! I'm so glad I did because I couldn't put it down. There are some holes in the plot but it was compelling enough that I could look beyond them. I enjoyed the characters so much and the writing was great. Plus, I'm a total Scotland fanatic so that added an extra element for me. Overall, this book is a classic and I hope it doesn't drop out of publication any time soon.』
(My first and best Howard) 『I was more a historical romance fan so I guess that's the reason I was late to discover Linda Howard. Well Son of the Morning is the best introduction to this writer I can think of. Combining contemporary with historical romance this book is simply awesome. Just be sure to start early in the morning because it will be hard to go to sleep without having finished it. The story is about Grace, a scholar who stambles upon some old documents that relate to the Knights of the Templar. Unfortunately, soon after she finds these papers her father and husband are getting killed, she goes on the run because she's considered guilty for their deaths and she starts to see images of a large, handsome warrior named Niall. More than half the novel is spent with Grace in the present trying to find what the documents she found mean while her bond with Niall gets stronger and stronger. Despite their not being physically close for so long, Son of the Morning is one of the most soul touching, addictive and simply wonderful novels you'll ever read. The mystery plot adds to the tension and excitement, but it's a romance novel foremost. Absolutely brilliant, one of the best I've read and I've read A LOT!』
(Tops my "Read Again!" List) 『Of the thousands of books I've read in my life, this book is at the top of my romance "read again" list. This is the most fun, adventurous, sad, thrilling, entertaining, romantic and intriquing story that Linda Howard has ever written. Grace St. John is a woman you'll never forget... a female character with dimension and depth. You'll cry, you'll laugh, you'll worry, you'll rejoice. Your life will fade in the background as Grace takes center stage and her story becomes your reality. It's obvious that Niall is no slouch. He'd have to be pretty great to draw and keep a woman like Grace St. John! Enjoy!』 『
A scholar specializing in ancient manuscripts, Grace St. John never imagined that a cache of fragile, old documents she discovered was the missing link to a lost Celtic treasure. But as soon as she deciphers the intriguing legend of the Knights of the Templar -- long fabled to hold the key to unlimited power -- Grace becomes the target of a ruthless killer bent on abusing the coveted force. Determined to stop him, Grace needs the help of a celebrated warrior bound by duty to uphold the Templar's secret for all eternity. But to find him -- and to save herself -- she must go back in time.
Summoning the magic of an arcane ritual, Grace steps back to the barren hills of 14th-century Scotland, enduring the perils of an untamed land to confront Black Niall, a fierce man of dark fury and raw, unbridled desire. Driven by a mix of fear and passion, Grace enlists this brazen knight to join her in a modern-day search for a killer. In their quest to protect a timeless secret, they uncover a love for all time -- and a deadly duel of honor that risks everything they have.』
『All of Linda Howard's novels are wonderful but this exceptional time-travel is her first foray into paranormal romance--and it's not to be missed. Grace St. John, a scholar, unwittingly discovers the Knights of Templar's secret treasure. Suddenly, her life is upturned when she spies her boss murdering her husband and brother. With no reason to live, except to extract vengeance, Grace becomes a fugitive of the law as she attempts to find an explanation for this horrible act. Grace simultaneously translates 14th century medieval documents written by Black Niall. This embittered knight reaches into Grace's subconscious and the two begin to share dreams 700 years apart.』

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The heroine was great. The hero to-die-for! The story never lost its momentum. Equal parts funny, sweet, adventurous, and sexy, with a little bit of magic thrown in. Lots of fun! Highly recommended!』
(third installment in Deborah Macgillivray's SISTERS OF COLFORD HALL series) 『Trevelyn Mershan and his brothers have a vendetta against the Montgomerie family that stems from their father's suicide many years ago. The men grew up extremely poor with a mother suffering from mental illness. Each brother has targeted one of Sean Montgomerie's granddaughters to concentrate on while they go about their plans for a hostile takeover of Montgomerie Enterprise. Trevelyn's association with Raven may have started out as an extension of the revenge plot dreamed up by his older brother, but he's falling in love with her.
Raven Montgomerie may have come from a wealthy background but her life is far from glamorous. She chooses to live in a thatched house on her family estate with a toy pony, a one-legged seagull and two fat cats. She loves her family but she prefers the privacy for her painting. At one time she had dreams of marriage and a family but her divorce and subsequent miscarriage put an end to that desire. The last thing she expects is for her belated birthday gift, a mechanical ofisa (Romani for fortunate teller booth), to be so eerily accurate in her predictions. "Beware of the wolf in sheep's clothing" is printed on the Lovers card, the first card she receives from the gypsy. Torn between ignoring the card and heeding it's warning, Raven opts to worry about it later but once she catches sight of a man who sends shivers down her spine and she simply knows that this is the wolf the gypsy foretold.
Trevelyn squeezes into Raven's life rather simply. First by saving her from Alec's, her ex-husband, nasty verbal attack at the gala to raise money for a children's orphanage, then he outbid Alec on a beautiful rocking horse that obviously held a great deal of importance to Raven. He liken himself to the big bad wolf in the fairy tale sent to gobble up Red and he and Raven even joke about the similarities between them and the fable. The attraction between them is undeniable and Raven caves in to her desire to invite Trevelyn to her bed. Trevelyn is quickly drawn into Raven's life and even her pets adore him so how can he possibly in good conscious continue with the plan to destroy her family? And if he doesn't follow through with it then how will his brothers react.
A WOLF IN WOLF'S CLOTHING is the third installment in Deborah Macgillivray's SISTERS OF COLFORD HALL series. Trevelyn and Raven's relationship is playful yet poignantly sweet while maintaining an emotional connection that I adored. The secondary characters, including Raven's pets, brought a smile to my face and kept me chuckling at their antics. Ms. Macgillivray incorporates all the elements that bring a story to life for readers - humor, a bit of the paranormal, a few tears, a beautiful romance and plenty of family dynamics. A WOLF IN WOLF'S CLOTHING is a wonderful addition to a series which has already captured my heart and earned a place on the keeper shelf.

(Auld magic in a new world) 『Virginal at marriage, burned by a cheating husband, Raven Montgomerie has created her own cocoon of protection in a small, thatched cottage with her eccentric animals and her paintings...That is, until Trevelyn Mershan steps into her world. An international playboy with looks even Adonis would envy, Trev is more than used to getting what he wants and that includes women. And now, he is set on revenge and Raven is his target. But is he really the Big, Bad Wolf he claims to be? Will Ms. Riding Hood become his victim? If you liked the nostalgia of the Golden Oldies songs from Deborah MacGillivray's second book, "Riding the Thunder", or if you believe that knights in shining armor still exist and fairy tales do come true, you will enjoy the special twists in "A Wolf in Wolf's Clothing" that bring the auld magic into today's world.』
(Sisters of Colford Hall, #3) 『Set in England, close to London. Trevelyn "Trev" Sinclair Mershan and his brothers are on a mission of vengeance. The Mershan brothers never stopped blaming Sean Montgomerie for their father's suicide. It has taken decades of work and maneuvering, but the Mershans are finally set to extract some justice. Since Sean is deceased, the brothers are going after his grandchildren and the family business, Montgomerie Enterprises (M.E.). Quietly they have been buying up the company's stocks and soon the hostile takeover will begin. So that no one will connect him to the Mershan family name, Trev will be known as Trevelyn Sinclair. His duty is to get close to Raven Montgomerie, the timid sister, in order to keep an eye on her CEO brother, Cian, and the daily operations of the business.
Trev manages to get an invitation to the annual charity gala M.E. is hosting. Since Raven is the artistic sibling, she has set everything up. She even brings one of her most cherished possessions as a prop. It is a birthday present from one of her absent sisters, a fortuneteller booth. When someone drops in a coin, the life-like gypsy doll within consults her crystal ball, followed by a card popping out with their fortune upon it. The gala is going well until Raven spies her abusive ex-husband, Alec. Just before Alec could manage to publicly humiliate Raven, Trev steps in to rescue her and begins to work his charms on the shy lady. But Trev has underestimated the effect Raven would have on him.
Raven is one of seven sisters. Though most of the family in the area resides at Colford Hall, the family's massive manor, Raven prefers to live in a thatched cottage on the far side of the vast estate. Here, Raven can paint in solitude and hide away from the world while doting on her menagerie of pets. The two fat cats, midget pony, and one-legged sea gull are the only companions she desires. But after Trev manages to storm into her heart and her bed, Raven finds herself coming out of her shell.
***** FIVE STARS! This is the third installment of the "Sisters of Colford Hall T" saga. All three of the stories run in the same time frame. It does not matter in what order you read them, but if you wish to read them in order of publication: One is "The Invasion of Falgannon Isle (The Sisters of Colford Hall, Book 1)" and is the story of Desmond and BarbaraAnne. Two is "Riding the Thunder (The Sisters of Colford Hall, Book 2)" and is the story of Jago and Asha.
One thing I enjoy about this series thus far is the setting changes. The first book is on an isolated isle, the second is in Kentucky, USA, and this one is in a small fictional town near London, England. The author inserts humor into them as well. In this one, Trev is allergic to the two cats, the black mini pony keeps breaking into the cottage and loves to be chased by humans, and the one-legged sea gull thinks it is a cat but enjoys pecking on Trev's bare toes. I fell totally in love with these animals.
For those who enjoy some suspense, the ex-husband causes lots of danger and trouble due to his hatred of Raven and of Trev for defending her from his bullying. There is also some eerie magic. The booth's fortune teller looks very life-like. No one can figure out how the booth makes its special affects and the fortunes she pops out are always spot-on. She gives ominous warnings that are totally correct every single time. When I saw the gypsy doll for the last time, I actually felt a chill go down my spine. I have yet to succeed in getting THAT scene out of my head.
Needless-to-say, I believe this title is the author's absolute best story to date. It flows smoothly, all the characters are will developed and have their own personalities and problems, and the writing style is superb. I can hardly wait for the 2010 release of "To Bell a Vampire", Brishen's tale. Author Deborah MacGillivray gets better and better with each story she puts out. *****

(terrific finish to an engaging trilogy) 『Trevelyn Sinclair Mershan understands what it feels like to be schizoid. His goal set by his older brother years ago has been to destroy the Montgomerie family whom he holds culpable for the suicide of his father. However, he has a slight problem as his heart tells him to modify his goal and go after Raven Montgomerie.
She haunts him 24/7. He plans to stay the course by ruining Raven. However, obstinate as he is, the Auld Souls intercede as do an odd mechanical gypsy fortuneteller. Trev feels like a traitor as he is deeply in love with the enemy while invading her home Colford Hall.
The third Mershan brother contemporary romance (see INVASION OF FALGANNON ISLE and RIDING THE THUNDER) is an enjoyable tale that runs time-wise parallel to the stories of Trev's siblings; thus he feels remorse and guilt at the same time love because ironically unlike the readers he is unaware that his older brother, who has planned their revenge for years, has the same predicament. A WOLF IN WOLF'S CLOTHING is a terrific finish to an engaging trilogy; kudos to Deborah MacGillivray who stayed consistent throughout the saga yet also entertaining.
