| After the loss of her husband, Jena is forced by her two closest friends to take a vacation. She heads for the remote areas of Scotland, planning to backpack in solitaire across the countryside. While visiting with the locals and enjoying the peaceful outdoors, she was surprised by the disturbing spirits that won’t leave her in peace. When she’s not having nightmares of demons she’s dreaming of the man of her dreams. The man with deep blue eyes and a voice she’d recognize anywhere. Erick is baffled from the moment he meets Jena. Not used to a woman telling him no, he’s instantly drawn to her.
This story has it all. Jena’s friendship with Katie is very touching and will make you laugh. The loss of her husband makes Jena re-evaluate her life, her feelings, and her relationships and you feel it all right with her. The emotions in this story will drag you in and keep you engaged until the end. The chemistry between Erick and Jena is very intense, but at times can be slightly predictable. I just love a story where the main characters initially meet in dreams. The dreams added to the mystery and build the suspense. The supporting characters really add to the story. Katie and Justin’s support of Jena and Erick is phenomenal. The way they worked together helped to make a great story. While the plot of the story can fade to the background at times, the story is full of events that will keep you involved throughout. All of the emotions, especially those felt by Jena, are so vivid and real. This story amazed me at how such a large, gruff man could be so gentle and caring when he finds love. I hope there is a sequel planned for this story. I truly enjoyed Erick and Jena’s story and can’t wait to read about Katie and Justin. If you enjoy books full of emotion, with strong characters and a little bit of the mystical thrown in, then this is the book for you.
