    About this ebook

    "They say," said the girl, "that people disappear up there. And I heard that the lady doesna' ever grow any older."

    "The lady?" William asked.

    "Lady MacAlasdair. She lives in the castle, and she's been there years, but she stays young and beautiful forever."

    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 was a dragon.

      3.5 starsI liked that this was a historical romance with a paranormal twist. Usually when this happens you get the regular type of paranormals, vampires and/or werewolves, not this book. Here, we had dragons! I absolutely love dragons, so this was a nice little gem. There were a few places that lost me either because of boredom or things didn't move fast enough, but it didn't happen very often. Nice world building and an even better cast of characters. Would be interested in reading more in this world.Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.

      3 1/2 Stars. It was a good read but I had a few issues with it. I did really enjoy most of it, but the setting for their love scene was just not very appealing and afterward everything seemed a bit rushed. The ending felt abrupt to me too. I will still seek out the next book in this series though because it has a promising start and otherwise I really enjoyed the author's writing.

      Dragons and evil things afoot. Stephen is a dragon, seems there are a few "people" around who can shift into dragons. And this one hails from Scotland ;) I do like the sword and kilt and background, sadly nothing of that happens as the book takes place in London.

      Anyway. Dragon meets guard dog and because of things I shall not venture into Mina, the guard dog aka secretary for a professor comes to work for Stephen. Learns of his second nature and helps him with the issue at hand...those pesky evil things that are happening.

      There is of course romance coming too as they are drawn to each other but know they should not act upon it. But they sure still do ;)

      Romance, danger and fights. Mysteries and legends. We also meet his brother at one time and I hope there is a book about him too.

      The Legend of the Highland Dragon is the first book of this new series by Isabel Cooper. When you combine my two favorite sub genres and mix them with some solid romance, you sell me immediately. This story is a combination of paranormal and historical romance. However I did feel like the romance level could have been higher. It had many aspects that made a highly enjoyable story, but I felt like the focus on the relationship between Stephen and Mina was a bit less than you would expect from a story like this. Now with that said, let us move on to the more delightful and positive elements of the story I really enjoyed. The characters in this story were such fun and very adaptable to new situations and I loved both the hero and heroine, and even some sub characters adds a fun spice to the story. I really felt like Stephen and Mina were pretty well constructed. Stephen is your typical alpha male, but he does have some beta in his personality, which I felt like overall was a good balance for his character. Mina is not your typical heroine of this regency era. Being a member of the lower class, you would think she would be a bit less bold and daring...but no, she just has to know the answers to every little mystery. She learns the truth about Stephen pretty early in the story and I loved how she doesn't fight the truth. She adapts to her situation and the danger pretty well, and she isn't afraid of defending herself. She does some fighting spirit and she interacts pretty well with Stephen and his brother. Not some side characters I fell in love with: one of the house maids, was sweet and when they get attacked early on in the story, she fights alongside with Mina and I really loved the idea of this young girl's courage against a enemy you can't fight unless your a dragon...however it doesn't stop them from trying!! Now Stephen's brother Colin...was delightful, a rogue and so funny to watch him tease his brother and I loved their relationship. I felt like bringing in Colin's character really lifted up the plot and added a sense of playfulness to the story.The Villain in the story is pretty formidable, and this is where you see a strong magical element enter into the plot. Wade is definitely is the type of enemy you want to destroy, and he is pretty bad. So much so that you wonder how Stephen and Colin are going to defeat him. The bad guy in the story really adds a dangerous element to the plot, I guarantee you will be at the edge of the seat once the danger starts to really threaten Stephen and Mina. I felt like this story was so different from what I expected, but it turned out to be packed with such depth and much more magical elements than I expected. There is such a paranormal edge to the story you almost forget the time period that this story takes place. We also see a more intense focus on the relationship between Stephen and Mina toward the later half of the story, a immortal creature and a mortal woman, how will they make it work right? I did feel that the ending wasn't what I expected, I kinda felt a little disappointed, because I felt like it didn't completely tie off all the loose ends, maybe we will see more of them in the next book (which is Colin's Story-so excited)Overall a entertaining romance, with a paranormal edge, sexy dragons, fighter of a heroine, and some delectable moments to leave you thirsty for more.

      A supernatural historical romance with dragons, likeable characters, and a good plot. The MCs are from opposite sides of the track, but have pretty good chemistry. The lead male's brother provides some humor and a possible chance of meeting his mate in a sequel. There's a bit of mystery as well.Net Galley Feedback
    • 5/5
      Tasty book. A Scottish lord who is also a dragon? Catnip for me. And there was a lot of purring while I read. The heroine is strong and fierce. The hero is hot and... a freaking dragon.
