Kilts, Willies, Gnats chewing balls... are some of the things to look forward to in this book. Featuring Creighton a hot Scottish Laird, with long flowing hair, blowing in the highland winds like a shampoo advert. He is also built like a brick shit house! (I wouldn't mind tossing his caber!)
Being a Scot he loves a tipple of Whiskey and is horny as hell. Unfortunately, he is stuck running the family business (B&B castle), he inherited following his fathers death. Along with that he has to keep in line the crazy world of shifters and oversee the reading of a will, following the death of an old friend. He just wants it over and done with as soon as possible so things can get back to normal, but the moment he sets his eyes on the new American accompanying her grandmother to the reading, his inner bear lays claim 'mine' and winning her heart becomes his number one priority. Grrrr!
The author, American, Vonnie Davis, has taken on the unenviable task of writing this Scottish Bear Shifter, as he appeared one night at the foot of her bed and told her to write this story. Yep, she is bat shit crazy! As such this story is a delight to read, because she dare not balls it up in case he reappears and sticks a claw in her hoohar! (Not that she would mind)
Paisely, is the lucky bitch who gets to win his heart. She has a gift/secret of her own. No she doesn't turn into a bear and let him share her honey pot, she can talk to the animals. (Photographs by Katerina Plotnikova... I sent these to Vonnie when she was writing the story as inspiration, so I am sharing them here too)
The perk/curse of Paisley being a Dr Dolittle is she can hear animals talk, that includes shifters in human form using telepathy. Mr Lusty Pants is teased by his brothers over his bears obsession with the new lassie in town. Creighton is just shy of going all Cave Man on her ass, walloping her over the head and dragging her back to his room by the hair, but there is one big problem.... Super Gran!
Paisley's grandmother is there to hear the reading of a will. She bears a striking resemblance to the pink panther, given her obsession with wearing everything pink including her hair. I hate to think what is going on in her knickers... bows, tinsel or a Vajazzle. The way she is described I picture something like this... with less wrinkles and pink hair.
She takes no nonsense and often leave people confused it her wake. She may come across as all sweet and innocent with her pink slippers and crazy hair, but if you cross her she will bitch slap you into next week with one lashing of her tongue. The reading of the will announces that her Grandmother has inherited some estate and obviously she wants to stay to get it all sorted out. Plus she can see the attraction between Creighton and Paisley, as the old saying goes 'Don't make love at the garden gate, love is blind but the neighbours ain't.'
Throw in some masterful growling of 'Ye will be mine, Lassie' and whispers of 'My beloved' and a readers legs are knocked as bandy as Paisleys. You want her to jump him and use him for sex just so you know if he is all talk and no action. The reader becomes invested in finding out what is under that kilt... it's big... so big I nicknamed it Nessie after the Loch Ness Monster. I envy Paisley for experiencing the power of that brute between her legs. He did waffle on a bit too much for my liking during the nookie scenes so I would have to shove something in his mouth him to shut him, but hey that's what tits are for! No one wants a running commentary Creighton, just enjoy yourself while it lasts because as with every romance novel, love is tested.
Paisley's dickhead of a fiancé.... yes, she is engaged... is a vet from America who wants to exploit her talents for his own financial gain. He is forcing her to showcase her talents to the world and turns up for a showdown with Mr Big Willy himself. A cock fight commences to win the heart of the bear whisperer... you will have to read it to see what happens.
His hot brothers, have stories of their own in this series to look forward to (wit woo). Add to that magic, witches, warlocks, haunted castles, shifters, some bad men who need to be mauled and you have the gist of this first book in the series. It reminded me of the film 'High Spirits' in certain parts and I love that film... these clips makes me laugh as Liam Neeson drools as much as Creighton in it and is just as naughty. 'Ooo what a woman.' (click the links above each pic to watch the clip)

As expected there is a climatic end to the book that makes your eyes speed read to know what happens, while your brain doesn't want it to end yet so tries to slow your eyes down to no avail. Reader problems #10.
How many stars - 5*'s
The author took on the challenge of writing a story in a language she didn't have a firm grasp of. In order to ensure it was as authentic and accurate as possible she sort out authors and friends who did. Her publisher enjoyed the first so much they signed her up for the series.It is a story that can easily be picked up and transport you to the Highlands for a wee visit. It is nothing to serious, or emotionally draining to read. It is fun, sexy and escapism. I look forward to the rest of the series.
Who would I recommend it to?
It is not historical romance but has aspects of heritage and folklore so you will enjoy it even if you usually read Historical Romances.If you loved Outlander and want something to fill the Highlander gap while waiting on the next in the series this will sate that hunger.
If you love to read books where male chauvinism is displayed like a peacock strutting its feathers, only to have it's feathers ruffled by a hen who will not be pecked, you will love this book.He basically gets a kick in the ghoulies so hard they shoot up inside him like a pinball and he risks heart break... that is what you get for being possessive and demanding. Affection is to be earnt, along with trust, and yes being hung like a donkey helps but no one likes an Ass. Unless it's this fine one! Let me see you shake that tail-feather.
Check out the series here. Read, till your eyes bleed. Don't forget to support authors by leaving a review.
