This review is from: Moon Awakening (Children of the Moon, Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

When Emily Hamliton's family disobeys the king, he decides to punish them by ordering that one of the daughters be given in marriage to a Scottish laird. Rather than give up her favorite daughter, Emily's stepmother comes up the idea of sending Emily's youngest step-sister, Abigail. Emily can't allow that to happen, Abigail is deaf and Emily believes she surely would be mistreated because of her handicap. She quickly offers to take Abigail's place as the Scottish Laird's bride. She soon finds herself living with the Sinclair clan where no one likes her and bethrothed to the Sinclair laird who has no desire to have her as a wife. She's not sure if things have gotten better or worse when she and her finace's sister are kidnapped by a rival clan.

Lachlan is the laird of the Balmoral clan, and the leader of his werewolf pack. When Lachlan went to steal the Sinclair laird's sister, he never intended to take Emily too. He's sworn never to take a chance of having a son who can't shape shift by marrying a human, but everything about Emily has him fighting to keep himself from claiming her. As an enemy inside attempts to put the Sinclair and Balmoral clans at each other's throats, Lachlan must face his own desire for Emily. He needs to decide if his growing love for her is enough to set aside what he's always believed would be best for his clan.

Moon Awakening is simply awesome! I just can't put it any more eloquently! From page one I was entranced. Stunningly sexy and emotionally riveting, Lucy Monroe has given us a paranormal romance that made me literally lose myself within the pages. Moon Awakening is easily one of the best paranormals I've ever read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Skilled Writing But a Little Ho-Hum, February 20, 2007

This review is from: Moon Awakening (Children of the Moon, Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

To be able to write an entire book based almost completely on dialogue between the two main characters is the mark of a highly skilled wordsmith.
Still I missed more descriptive images of the world the female lead inhabits and our gal also has the nasty habit of not shutting up! In usual fashion our gal is alone--more or less-- with little money, skills or practical abilities and for some dumb reason, insists on irritating or insulting everyone she meets. The male lead tolerates her behavior, but when he compromises a deeply held belief--basically a 180 degree turn--for this surly woman, it was hard to accept. Worth the read, but don't put it on the top of your reading pile.

1.0 out of 5 stars COULD HAVE BEEN AN AWESOME BOOK, May 2, 2010

This review is from: Moon Awakening (Children of the Moon, Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)

I started off liking this book and then the more I read, the more annoyed I became. Why? The heroine. One minute she's strong-willed, then she's crying, then she's insecure, then she feels insulted by something the hero says or does, then she wants to have sex even though she's still angry with him, then she's teary-eyed again, then fiesty and the cycle goes on and on... Did I say I found her ANNOYING?
