Highlander's Beloved #3
Vonnie Davis
Releasing Oct 27th, 2015
Loveswept
A Scottish hunter and a French
secret agent find themselves on a collision course with danger—and irresistible
desire—in Vonnie Davis’s new bear-shifting Highlander novel, perfect for fans
of Jennifer Ashley and Shelly Laurenston.
In the pine-dense
mountains of the Scottish Highlands, shape-shifter Ronan Matheson is running
free when a desperate woman parachutes out of the sky, directly onto his furry,
powerful chest. Instead of clawing her to death, Ronan’s inner bear longs to
keep her safe. Once he’s back in human form, Ronan is amused by the mysterious
beauty’s fearless attitude—and tempted by her expertly toned physique. But what
could she possibly be doing in this isolated stretch of the Highlands?
French intelligence agent Anisa Brosseau never imagined she’d be on the CIA’s
bad side—until she’s framed for treason and forced to flee in a stolen drone.
Hiding out in a remote cabin, Anisa just needs some time to clear her name.
What she doesn’t need is a brooding, muscle-bound Scot in a skimpy kilt to
drive her crazy with lust. But when Anisa’s enemies come knocking on his door,
Ronan calls on a secret weapon to protect his turf and the bonny lass he’s come
to love.
Review Time:
What's more lovable than a grumpy old bear? A grumpy Scottish shifter bear named Ronan! So how to change his disposition? Maybe having an old fling drop from the sky and land on you unexpectedly.
As usual, Vonnie Davis brings us a fun story filled with humor and warm-hearted romance. But it also has some suspense as the "dropee" Anise, a French agent, is being set up for crimes against her country. It's a good thing she landed where she did as brave Ronan helps her to clear her name. She was a little hard to like at first, and I was a little confused about her working with the CIA in the US, but as you read on you come to like her more and more as well as root for her to clear her name and get that HEA with her Scottish bear Ronan. Another great addition to this wonderful series!
Excerpt 4
Ronan
gaped at her as she closed the bathroom door. Me God, she was a cautious
somebody. He hadna given her any reason to fear him. What had her in a major
self-protection mode? Just what the bloody hell was going on in her life? What
the feckin’ hell had happened to her that had her mistrusting everyone and
anything? She hadna been like that when they knew each other in Paris
She’s ours. We’ll protect her.
Ronan
opened the cabinet in his room where he kept his shoe care kit. “She is not
ours and it is not our bloody job to protect her. I’ll give her a meal and a
warm place to sleep tonight.”
With us. She is too ours!
God,
Ronan could almost hear his bear stomp his furry foot.
Ronan’s
eldest brother’s bear was a little on the timid side at times. His youngest
brother’s was bossy as hell. But Ronan’s bear could go from playful to stubborn
in a heartbeat. “Dinna get in one of yer snits. I’m not looking fer a woman. Ye
ken that.”
Ronan
slid the stool to his big chair over in front of the hearth and sat. He quickly
dipped her boots in the water then began brushing away the muck and mud. Using
his shoe brush, he cleaned her boots as best he could. All the while, he
wondered how she, of all people, ended up here, of all places? Effie. The witch
had to have had a gnarled, pink-polished fingernail in this weird situation. He
nodded as he set the cleaned boots on the other side of the burning fire.
Coincidences like this didna just happen. They were arranged. And Effie was the
Queen Witch at arranging things. He did a quick rinse of her socks and flight
suit, removing her badge before he shoved the outfit into the dirty water.
She
hadna lied about her being in the military, but she had failed to mention she
was Major Anisa Brosseau of the French DPSD, whatever the hell that was. The
card held no reference of the CIA , so why
had she even mentioned it after she fell on his bear? He glanced at the
bathroom door—the shower running behind it—and scowled. Just what kind of
business were she and the French government up to here in an isolated part of
the Scottish Highlands? And what did she mean when she mentioned going against
everything she believed in?
Canna ye see? She’s scared outta her wits. She’s
running from someone or something. And so are ye. Ye’re running from yer secret
desire fer yer own family. We need to take care of her. She dropped from the
sky just fer us. She’s our mate, ye obstinate human. Ours!
Living
with this bear since he’d begun shifting when he was ten, Ronan kent there was
no use arguing when it got into a challenging mood like this. How could Ronan
have an attraction to a woman he hadna seen in years and wasna so sure he
trusted? That was more Creighton’s style. Hadna his eldest brother fallen for
the American animal communicator as soon as she arrived at the lodge?
