Review: The Selkie – Rosanna Leo

Posted December 9, 2012 by Shannon in Author Provided / 3 Comments

This was supposed to be her year. However, after losing her job and discovering her fiancé cheating, Maggie Collins has her doubts. When her grandmother dies, she hits rock bottom. Maggie travels to her grandmother’s home in Orkney, Scotland to sort through her gran’s things, only to discover the old woman has left her a seal pelt as her inheritance. She also learns that others are after the pelt.
To add to her frustration, Maggie’s dreams are filled with luscious images of a long-haired man, images that draw her to the magical beaches in Orkney. Although she’s lost her trust in men, this dream man inspires her with a lust she’s never known before.
Calan Kirk has also been dreaming. Dreaming of Maggie, the mortal woman who arouses him as no other woman ever has. Meeting her in the flesh when she arrives in Orkney is nothing short of spontaneous sexual combustion. But she is a human, and not to be trusted. He needs the seal pelt, not a red-haired temptress.
As a thief ransacks Maggie’s grandmother’s house, Maggie and Calan are thrust together. They must search for the animal skin, a mythical relic which once found, will either bring them together or rip them apart forever.

Reviewer’s Thoughts:

At a time when every other book you pick up is either a shifter book or a vampire book, paranormal author Rosanna Leo gives us a different sort of shifter book. Gone are the days of the werewolves and big cat shifter. Say welcome and THANK YOU, Rosanna for giving us one hot Selkie. Calan isn’t just hot. Although on any given day that would be enough for me, with a wicked sense of humor and a Scottish brogue, this sexy Selkie is to die for.

Having read other works by this author, I had a general idea of what to expect… courageous, hot-tempered heroine paired with a really hot hero with a heart of gold. What I didn’t expect was the suspense. That’s right, you heard me… suspense. On the hunt for Calan’s hidden Selkie pelt, Maggie finds herself being stalked, shot at and her grandmother’s house ransacked with no hint or clue to lead us to whom the culprit could be. Can we say fantastic? Nothing I hate more than being able to figure out who the bad guy is by chapter 2. Leo keeps up guessing until the very end!

If I had to find one fault with The Selkie it would have to be that it was too short! I would seriously not be opposed to a little more selkie action in the form of Calan’s equally hot brothers. (hint hint)

If you haven’t read The Selkie yet… run out and get it! I guarantee you will not be sorry. Then don’t forget to stop on by again on December 19^th when Rosanna Leo herself will be sharing with us her favorite holiday memories.
