Blurb/Summary:

MacCoinnich Time Travel Trilogy

For her own safety, modern day, single mom, Lizzy McAllister is forced to bow to the medieval men who surround her when she’s thrust back in time to the sixteenth century against her will. When Lizzie finds herself trapped in time with Fin, the one man she finds both irresistible and maddening, she agrees to combine forces with him to rid Scotland of the evil witch, Grainna.

Finlay MacCoinnich’s attraction to Lizzie sizzles the very air they breathe. Tearing down the solid walls the woman has built around her won’t be easy, but he’s willing to do anything to keep her by his side. When a spell cast by their deadliest foe throws them forward in time, will they manage to find their way back in time to save their family from peril? And will Lizzy willingly stay in his time, or abandon him altogether?

Review:

Are you ready for the amazing next instalment in this breathtaking time travelling trilogy? When I first picked up a Catherine Bybee book, I was instantly hooked. The mix of time travel, witches, magic, and the power of falling in love grabbed me instantly. When I learned that there was more than one story, that it was part of a trilogy, I had to have it. And long awaited, this is Liz and Finn's story.

From book two, I knew that these two would have the most powerful story yet, and indeed they did. Do yourself a favor- pick up this book, in fact, pick up the entire trilogy. Clear your schedules for the next few days and get drawn in to the magic of travelling through time, finding your destiny, and fighting against a powerful witch that will stop at nothing to get her way. Redeeming Vows is enchanting, thrilling, the tension sizzles between Lizzie and Finn, and the book jumps with intense action. I suggest you not miss it!

Blurb/Summary:

Werewolves come in two categories, good and evil. Although Richard Ritter's family has encouraged him to make the change for years, he never considered embracing his wolf until he meets Kate Davis. One night with her, however, and his life changes forever.

After a horrifying evening of violence, Kate Davis' life is turned upside down. Richard offers more than security; he offers her passion, something she hasn’t experienced in years. Falling in love with him was easy, but once she learns what he becomes every month her fear of the unknown threatens their future.

Review:

I can say with assurance that after reading two of Catherine Bybee's books, that she is on my list of auto buys! Embracing the Wolf was both suspenseful and sexy. The first chapter starts off with a bang and keeps the great pace up until the dramatic ending.

The heroine, Kate Davis, goes through quite a bit in this story. One night while working at a restaurant, in a blink of an eye, things change. Kate is shot. Then along comes Richard, the hero, who stays near Kate for some reason. Then, to keep Kate and her young son safe, Richard takes them to his family's home. Richard and Kate are falling in love but there is one shocking secret he has yet to share with her, and not until near the end does she find out the truth.

I loved this book. From the stunning cover, to the beautifully written story, and the characters that breathe life onto the pages and provide a heart warming, emotional, sensual story. Embracing the Wolf will appeal to paranormal romance fans. You surely won't be disappointed.

Review:

Silent Vows is a refreshing treat! A beautifully written time travel romance, filled with characters that breathe life on and off the pages, the kind that sticks with the reader after the book is finished. Add in some magic, and a villain who will stop at nothing to get what they want and you have Silent Vows.

I got the impression that there are books connected to this one. There are a lot of secondary characters of which a few may have had a story prior, and I'm hoping that two other characters will get their own story.

This is the kind of book that readers will read again and again, it takes your mind away from the real world. The cover of Silent Vows is absolutely stunning.

This was my first time reading Catherine Bybee, but with stories such as this, it won't be my last.
