book 6 in the McKinnon legends sees a shift from the Seabridge men to the American men, and a seamless shift it is too!

Robert appears in a previous book, but this is his story. when his best friend is found murdered, Robert has to deal with Kyle's little sisiter, Katherine. only she aint so little any more, and Robert gets that sucker-punch to the belly "MINE" very early in the book. Katherine, or Kate, or Katie-bug, depending on what mood Robert is in, is in dire straights with nothing and no one to rely on, but Robert. but she doesnt want to. however, when her life is threatened, she has to deal with Robert, an old flame and some legend about lost gold on her land.

i love how we watch Robert deal with this sucker-punch, and his love for Katherine. Katherine has a mouth on her and is not afraid to use, making me laugh out loud in many a place. BUT the thing i love the most, is this book goes back to the beginning. there is no descriptive sex screens, is all inferred, and leaves you, the reader, to fill in the blanks, just like with Nic and Morgan's story. there is no actual time travel by the main characters, but Gage does that for Robert, and its all based in the States. i would like to have seen some of the old characters appear in this book, but just a passing mention, but i understand why they dont appear.

one thing, though, Ms James....shifter DNA????? i hope that will be explained in a later book!

Found this book somewhat disappointing when remembering the previous "McKinnon Legends" books. My hope for some time travel in the story went unfulfilled. I thought the heroine behaved far more true to introduced statements of character than the hero.

I thank the author for stating that the hero and heroine had "mind blowing sex" (appreciatively after exchanging marriage vows) without subjecting me to explicit and voyeuristic details.

Drawn out

this had a great story line,but Robert was a to timid.Kate was just a big brat.I felt like Ranay James kept going through the same dialogue, just mixed up the wordings to add pages to the book. my first read by this author and don't think I'd try another. skipped half of the book just to get to the end.

I enjoyed that there was a different plot in this book with the treasure hunt. Could have been a little more twisty with the plot.

good reading

Lots of action clear story line and good plot. Not to much sex and plenty of love. Ready for the next book.
