Check out our review of Book 1 - A Certain Wolfish Charm.  This is Book 2 in Lydia Dare's series - Tall, Dark and Wolfish.  I read this one first by accident, thankfully, these events happen at the same time as Book 1 so it wasn't spoiled too much.

Again set in 1800's, this time in Scotland (and briefly in England), Dare does the story right as she brings in the magical coven of witches into her werewolf stories.  As a brother has lost his beast, he heads in search for the only witch that can fix him, however what he finds is her beautiful irish daughter and a coven of witches that is extremely protective.  Their 'seer' has forwarned that a wolf will come and tear them apart.

Elspeth (Ellie) is a healer, and she stops at nothing to help all that she can.  Sadly, it's draining her.  When one comes to look for her mother's help, she is faced with a handsome Benjamin.  Once again, historical times, women on their own is unheard of, yet the women in these books, are quite strong and confident.  Ben and Ellie face the unforbidden.  As their relationship develops somehow there are so many misunderstandings that have them in the weirdest predicaments.

Dare gives us again delightful conversation, sexy heat, and a wonderful read!
