Weathering Rock [Kindle Edition]

Mae Clair (Author)

Book Description

Drawn together across centuries, will their love be strong enough to defeat an ancient curse?

Colonel Caleb DeCardian was fighting America’s Civil War on the side of the Union when a freak shower of ball lightning transported him to the present, along with rival and former friend, Seth Reilly. Adapting to the 21st century is hard enough for the colonel, but he also has to find Seth, who cursed him to life as a werewolf. The last thing on Caleb’s mind is romance. Then fetching Arianna Hart nearly runs him down with her car. He can’t deny his attraction to the outspoken schoolteacher, but knows he should forget her.

Arianna finds Caleb bewildering, yet intriguing: courtly manners, smoldering sensuality and eyes that glow silver at night? When she sees Civil War photographs featuring a Union officer who looks exactly like Caleb, she begins to understand the man she is falling in love with harbors multiple secrets--some of which threaten the possibility of their happiness.

Finding a decent guy who'll commit is hard enough. How can she expect Caleb to forsake his own century to be with her.

5.0 out of 5 stars Time Travel and Werewolves... What's not to love!! October 15, 2012

By Karen Michelle Nutt

Format:Kindle Edition

Arianna Hart has given up on finding true love until she runs Caleb DeCardin off the road. Really, who in their right mind goes horse back riding in the middle of the night? This odd behavior is only one of many of Caleb's fine attributes. He claims to be a Colonel and despite his age, he has an air about him that only comes from being in charge. He knows all there is about the civil war and retells battle stories as if he was there on the field.

When Arianna discovers an old Civil War photo of a man who resembles Caleb so closely it's uncanny, she starts to rehash every odd statement Caleb has uttered, until she cannot deny the truth. The man's she's fallen love with has somehow crossed the bridge of time. Only time travel is the least of Caleb's problems. He's been cursed to turn all hairy on the full moon and the only way he can break the curse is to kill his rival Seth Reilly. However, this alpha/time-traveler isn't making it easy as he terrorizes the town and stalks Caleb. No one is safe, least of all Arianna.

Ms. Clair has cleverly woven a tale of romance and intrigue and added a historical flare along with the werewolf legend of old. Caleb is a hero that is noble and courageous to a fault, but he's far from perfect, he's also bossy and arrogant in his beliefs, but it's the whole package that makes the reader fall in love with this man. Arianna is the woman who knows how to bring the best out in Caleb. If anyone is going to understand where this man came from, it's Arianna, a historical Civil War buff and she won't let him get away with bossing her around, Colonel or not.

I thoroughly enjoyed the twist and turns this paranormal story gave and was pleased in how it all came to a climatic conclusion. This is a must read for all.

Simply Amazing! This book held me prisoner from beginning to end. Mae Clair weaves a fantastic story filled with intricate plots and subplots luring us into a world filled with both the paranormal and time travel. The characters were deliciously written, bringing you so deep into their world, it was hard to come out. Loved it and can't wait for more!

4.0 out of 5 stars Time Travel, Vendettas and Werewolves Too? May 21, 2013

By Kitt Crescendo

Format:Kindle Edition

What happens on a stormy night when a current day school teacher hits a soldier on horse back from the 1800's with her car? Why, an adventure, of course!

In Mae Clair's debut novel, she introduces us to Arianna Hart, a school teacher with a passion for history, and Caleb DeCardian, gorgeous werewolf soldier from the Civil War era. Though Caleb is embroiled in a dangerously fatal cat and mouse game with a nemesis who time travelled into the future with him, he's drawn to Arianna. He knows he shouldn't pursue her. They're from two different worlds. Literally. Obviously, he's got secrets.

Mae does a fantastic job of weaving a tale of danger, excitement and time travel with endearing romance. The unique way with which she approaches time travel was as interesting as the way she blended past and present into a seamless tale.

If you love shape shifters, romance, and suspense... Pick up Weathering Rock. You won't want to put it down.
