    About this audiobook

    In the Scottish Highlands, legend is as powerful as the sword-and nowhere is that more true than in the remote village of Loch Aranoch. Its mysterious ruler, Judith MacAlasdair, is fiercely protective of her land-and her secrets. If anyone were to find out what she really was, she and her entire clan would be hunted down as monsters.

    William Arundell is on the trail of a killer. Special agent for an arcane branch of the English government, his latest assignment has led him to a remote Highland castle and the undeniably magnetic lady who rules there. Yet as lies begin to unravel and a dark threat gathers, William finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into the mystery of the Highlands . . . and the woman he can neither trust nor deny.

    He prays she isn't the murderer; he never dreamed she'd be a dragon.

      William Arundel has spent most of his adult life investigating supernatural incidents for the mysterious D Branch. Now his investigation has taken him to the Scottish Highlands where he encounters an isolated village with a mysterious ruling family. Judith MacAlasdair is the one in charge. She is experienced at keeping secrets including the secret that she is a dragon who has lived for more than 200 years.William is looking for a murderer and finds Judith suspicious but there are other potential suspects in the town from the friend of the doctor's who is a surgeon studying blood to the local man who left to make his fortune and who has now returned home. I enjoyed the highland setting. I liked the way the relationship between William and Judith grew. And I thought the plot was both interesting and scary. This is the third book in the Highland Dragons series. It stands alone quite well. I would like to read the others so that I can have the complete story, though.Fans of paranormal romances and dragons will enjoy this story.

      Set in a fantasy Victorian world where magic is real. William works for a secret agency dealing with magical problems. Judith is a dragon who can take human form. William comes to her village to investigate a murder. Soon the two become romantically involved and work together to uncover the evil that has come to the area. It is the third in a series, so there are points where I feel like I am missing information because i haven't read the prior books. I would be interested in going back to read the first two books.
    • 4/5
      This book took a little longer to get into than the others because the overarching mystery was hard to follow and also kind of obvious. I love Judith and William as a couple, though.

      Dragons with a difference!William Arundel (a special agent from D Branch which I gather deals with the arcane, exotic and X files of the English Government of the times) is off in the Scottish Highlands tracking down unexplained human and animal deaths, encountering demons and a certain mysterious Judith MacAlasdair Lady of Loch Aranoch. An area that everyone agrees is remote, with tight lipped villages and not much in the way of communication.Arundel finds that the inhabitants don't gossip much about the Lady. A lady he finds attractive and compelling. But when animals are killed and parts of their bodies taken in ritualistic ways he knows that the village hides secrets. The only question is will Lady MacAlasdair help or hinder him? Or even more significantly is she part of the problem?I quite enjoyed this and having read neither of the previous novels in the series I am sure that I am going to make up for that deficit in the very near future.A NetGalley ARC

      4.25 StarsA quick and easy historical fantasy read with a murder mystery plot. The novel has a strong and independent female MC and a male MC who doesn't mind letting the lady lead from time to time. She's a Scottish dragon; he is an English government agent. It's fun, sexy, and dangerous. This is the third book in a series, but can be read as a stand-alone. I do suggest reading the first two novels (focusing on her brothers), but this one is definitely my favorite so far. I really enjoyed the characters, their romance, and the village setting. The mystery part could be developed a little more, but overall, a good choice for historical romance fans who appreciate some fantasy mixed into the story.Net Galley Feedback
