A string of unexplained murders has brought danger to Daisy's door, forcing her to turn to the most unlikely of saviors....

Their growing passion knows no bounds....

Ian Ranulf, the Marquis of Northrup, has spent lifetimes hiding his primal nature from London society. But now a vicious killer threatens to expose his secrets. Ian must step out of the shadows and protect the beautiful, fearless Daisy, who awakens in him desires he thought long dead. As their quest to unmask the villain draws them closer together, Daisy has no choice but to reveal her own startling secret, and Ian must face the undeniable truth: Losing his heart to Daisy may be the only way to save his soul.

Very good series ... PR and Historical Combined

This book was a really enjoyable with many different paranormal creatures. Very good twists and turn with just the right amount of sappy romance.

This author does a truly remarkable job at combining historical with paranormal. I would have enjoyed understanding a little more about the different Mystic species she beings into the plot.

This 2nd book is even better than the first!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, though I couldn't manage it in one sitting. The plot is expanding nicely, so that while the second book ends, there are more things I have started to be curious about for whenever the next book comes out. I eagerly await Poppy's story, at least I am pretty sure it will be hers. I hope so.

Great twist

What a fun story with a great twist. Ian and Daisy are both individually, strong characters but together they are fantastic. This book has a sexy romance, along with a fantastical world and creatures. Moira does a great job in her narration. I particularly like her Scottish accents. She makes the story come to life and the characters real. Definitely looking forward to the next book in the series.

Really Good Paranormal Book

I am not usually into Paranormal but this book was very entertaining!
As opposed to Firelight, there is much more action in this book, along with an array of interesting supernatural creatures, mystery, intrigue, some good sex scenes. My expectations grow higher by the minute for this series. Can't wait for Winterblaze!

This installment doesn't disappoint

Placed a year after the events of the previous book, Daisy Ellis Craigmore is free from the prison of marriage by the death of her husband. She is finally living the life she has always wanted except a string of murders hit too close for comfort, forcing Daisy head-long into the midst of the killings and into the protection of a dangerous man.

Ian Ranulf, the Marquis of Northrup has been denying his true nature for years, but with the slew of murders threatening to unveil the world of the supernatural to the general public, he is forced out of hiding from his duties. Realizing the link between the murdered victims and Daisy Ellis Craigmore, he vows to keep the chit safe, even if she defies him at ever turn.

I loved the interaction between the two main characters. There is so much cheeky dialogue that had me smiling in delight and the tension between the two characters made me ache in such a good way. I love stories that create that need more than just a string of love scenes which can get tedious and this tale definitely delivers the build-up.

Both characters have flaws and both have been betrayed and hurt by someone around them. They carry their scars with them and I liked how, although it was an important factor in their romance, it also didn't completely handicap them to the point where I was frustrated with the speed of the progression in their romance.

Callihan hits this tale and she hits it good knowing just how much to give and take. The story is well balanced with paranormal and historical elements in just the right proportion and an enjoyable tale of romance with an intriguing plot. This series has quickly become a favorite of mine and I really can't download the next book fast enough. A must read for fans of PNR and historical romance genres.

Narration
Narrator: Moira Quirk
Performance: 4/5
Speed: 1.25x
Another great performance by Quirk especially because in this installment, not only are the dialogues shifting with different accents, but there is a character where when his emotions are high, his Irish brogue slips through his proper British accent.

loved it

A great book - what an amazing story between the lively Daisy and the tormented Ian. It nearly had me in tears when Ian thought Daisy was dead. Poor thing. The introduction of the gimps was another new species with interesting possibilities. I love Kristen Calihan's storylines with all its twists and turns. I'm getting into the historical stuff. Moira quirk didn't dissapoint and actually did an awsome Scottish accent - not the usual horrible attempts from some narrators, that are like nails on a chalkboard to my Scottish ancestry. I can't wait for book 3. I will definitely relisten to this series.

Werewolf in London

What would paranormal regency be without werewolves? But, the only thing typical about Callahan is her ability to defy expectations. You will not find the tired vampires vs weres schtick here. Nor the angst of being turned by a bite schtick. Instead, you will find another fresh gothic mystery and forbidden romance, both befitting the Darkest London series label. And, can we take a moment to bow down to the amazing Moira Quick? Those accents! Ach! That Scottish burr had me constantly aquiver.

This worked best for me at 1.5x. As with book 1, this is a slow burn thru several false starts to get to the single scene. The hate-flirting was delicious. Occasional F bombs could have been avoided. As between the romance and mystery, once again the mystery pulls ahead for the win with marvelous twists, whether predictable or not.

Terrific Series

Now that I've listened to all three books in this series, I can easily say that I enjoyed Moonglow the most. Kudos to Kristen Callihan for originality and imagination in a saturated PNR market. It's a helluva thing to have to note that she didn't steal bits and pieces from the other eleventy-million series out there and that I'm grateful that I don't have to use the word "derivative." And while I'm at it, let me say that this series is NOT dumbed down. Too bad that has to be said as well.

Beautifully narrated by Moira Quirk.
