Thoughts:
Keyanna “Key” MacKay has come to Scotland to her father’s
family farm after he dies, searching for a connection and roots. She doesn’t receive
the warmest welcome from her grandmother or their farmhand, Lachlan Greer, but
she’s determined to stick it out. However,
things slowly thaw as Key gets to the bottom of her family history. There’s a mystery
and an ancient curse involving both Lachlan and her family and it becomes Key’s
mission to uncover the truth and break the curse before it ruins her newfound
happiness and love.
Under Loch and Key is my favorite Lana Ferguson to
date! I loved the combination of mystery, adventure, romance and a little
danger! I’m pleased that the romance had chemistry and buildup! Yes, it was
spicy, but it didn’t feel like it was just thrown in there for the sake of
having spice. And the epilogue was so touching!
I alternated between an audio and e-copy and recommend
either version. I loved the fact that not only did we get a female and male
narrator for Key and Lachlan, but they also performed their own parts
throughout the story, even when the story switched POVs! Samantha Summers and
Flint Park did an excellent job with all the voices and accents! Flint Park’s Scottish
accent was wonderful and sounded authentic!

Book Description:
A
woman discovers that not all monsters are her enemy—the opposite, in
fact—in this new paranormal romance by Lana Ferguson, author of The Fake Mate.
Keyanna
“Key” MacKay is used to secrets. Raised by a single father who never
divulged his past, it’s only after his death that she finds herself
thrust into the world he’d always refused to speak of. With just a
childhood bedtime story about a monster that saved her father’s life and
the name of her estranged grandmother to go off of, Key has no idea
what she’ll find in Scotland. But repeating her father’s mistakes and
being rescued by a gorgeous, angry Scotsman—who thinks she’s an idiot—is
definitely the last thing she expects.
Lachlan Greer has his own
secrets to keep, especially from the bonnie lass he pulls to safety
from the slippery shore—a lass with captivating eyes and the last name
he’s been taught not to trust. He’s looking for answers as well, and
Key’s presence on the grounds they both now occupy presents a real
problem. It’s even more troublesome when he gets a front row seat to the
lukewarm welcome Key receives from her family; the strange powers she
begins to develop; and the fierce determination she brings to every
obstacle in her path. Things he shouldn’t care about, and someone he definitely doesn’t find wildly attractive.
When
their secrets collide, it becomes clear that Lachlan could hold the
answers Keyanna is after—and that she might also be the key to
uncovering his. Up against time, mystery, and a centuries old curse,
they’ll quickly discover that magic might not only be in fairy tales,
and that love can be a real loch-mess.
