About this listen

A woman discovers that not all monsters are her enemy—the opposite, in fact—in this new paranormal romance by Lana Ferguson, author of The Fake Mate.

Keyanna “Key” MacKay is used to secrets. Raised by a single father who never divulged his past, it’s only after his death that she finds herself thrust into the world he’d always refused to speak of. With just a childhood bedtime story about a monster that saved her father’s life and the name of her estranged grandmother to go off of, Key has no idea what she’ll find in Scotland. But repeating her father’s mistakes and being rescued by a gorgeous, angry Scotsman—who thinks she’s an idiot—is definitely the last thing she expects.

Lachlan Greer has his own secrets to keep, especially from the bonnie lass he pulls to safety from the slippery shore—a lass with captivating eyes and the last name he’s been taught not to trust. He’s looking for answers as well, and Key’s presence on the grounds they both now occupy presents a real problem. It’s even more troublesome when he gets a front row seat to the lukewarm welcome Key receives from her family; the strange powers she begins to develop; and the fierce determination she brings to every obstacle in her path. Things he shouldn’t care about, and someone he definitely doesn’t find wildly attractive.

When their secrets collide, it becomes clear that Lachlan could hold the answers Keyanna is after—and that she might also be the key to uncovering his. Up against time, mystery, and a centuries old curse, they’ll quickly discover that magic might not only be in fairy tales, and that love can be a real loch-mess.

Critic reviews

"When Lana Ferguson said she was going to write a book about the Loch Ness Monster, I had no idea what I was in for. I should have known it would include a funny, relatable heroine, copious amounts of spice, and the sexiest hero that ever graced a kilt. You WANT to read this!"—Ruby Dixon, USA Today bestseller

"Under Loch and Key is Lana at the top of her game. Unique, atmospheric, playful and so hot you'll be looking for the nearest loch to cool off in, her books are everything I'm happy to reach for time and time again."—Tarah DeWitt, USA Today bestselling author of Savor It

"Ferguson puts her own ingeniously clever and wonderfully whimsical spin on the Loch Ness monster legend and the Scottish romance with a delightful rom-com that delivers plenty of cheeky banter and heartfelt musings on the importance of family as well as love scenes hot enough to warm up the coldest Scottish loch."—Booklist

Ugh Lachlan

I loved Keys and Lachlans story so much. This was such a fun story with so many real world emotions. I loved the imperfect characters and their development. Such a unique twist on the Loch Ness monster and the spice was spicy 🌶️

Story was good, language was not

The story was good, and I loved the dual approach with the narration but hated the graphic language used in the bedroom scenes. It was too harsh and unnecessary. When is c$nt ever used in real love making scenes, book or real life? And when did this become so normalized? It’s icky, and I had to drop the rating for unnecessary language used. Other than that it was a solid read.

Just the right mix of fantasy and romance.

I loved the author’s other book The Fake Mate, and I think I liked this one even better. It had a fascinating history, prophecy and curses and I really loved it.

Lochlan is worth the read.

Key's voice is infuriatingly annoying, but Lochlan sounds like Roger Mackenzie. IYKYK ;) The story is good, and the spice is spicy, but the spice doesn't match the vibes of the story. It's a hallmarky story and the language used for the bedroom scenes is off-putting for the book. I appreciate the attempt, but it didn't hit like it does in books with darker themes.

Narrators did an amazing job

Duet is always my favorite way to hear the story told in audio. That aside I usually do love the authors stuff, the nanny and the fake mate are some of my favorite reads. The writing in this was great, I just think maybe the theme itself I couldn’t get into, not sure. I was curious enough to see it through but just didn’t feel invested in the story. Still excited for her next book overruled.

I Can’t Stop Crying!

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve laughed and cried throughout this entire audio. The characters were so well done and developed that traditional reading this book would be amazing. But the narrators truly makes them come to life. The banter was amazing and my favorite part, but when Key’s and Lochlan’s show their vulnerabilities to one another made their romance so much more. Truly lovely.

Female Voice is Hard to Like

I appear to be the only person who thought the FMC had a grating voice. The way the narrator voiced her sounded like she was always annoyed...like from the first sentence. I wish I had read this because I feel like there were moments she was supposed to be soft and she was just always annoyed. It was hard to like her. But no one else has called this out so maybe it's just me.

First monster romance

Omg I love everything Lana writes and this was no different. I feel like it was a good intro to monster romance. Plus Lachlan’s accent is 🤤. Gimme!
