Dragon Knight´s Ring (Order Of The Dragon Knights #5) by Mary Morgan ARC Review.



Crusader, Adam MacFhearguis is on one last quest to the standing stones in Scotland where he seeks to bury the past. However, a silent prayer sends him to an unknown future and to his beloved Meggie. When he uncovers a shocking revelation, Adam questions everything about the woman he thought he knew and loved. He may have traveled the veil of ages, but time is now his enemy. 

Margaret MacKay lives a life in the future without the memories of her past—her death. When Adam arrives at her door confessing he knows her, she is confused and wary. With each passing day, she yearns to learn more from this stranger. Yet, when a truth is revealed, can she trust the man to unlock the chains from her mind and heart? 

Will love free the bonds to unite the two lovers who were doomed centuries ago? Or will evil finally claim victory over the Dragon Knights? 


Adam MacFhearguis has returned from his attempt to redeem himself in the Holy Wars. He could not find peace. Back at home it's as if everyone has forgotten his Meggie.  His temper tantrum leads him to the standing stones where she died. He will be with her again in another time.
Margaret MacKay was found by her cousins unconscious in the standing stones. She doesn't remember anything at all. She does have a gift for healing and communication with animals.
She is drawn to the very sexy man in the strange clothes, even if he is a little crazy.
This is the fifth book in the series. While you could read it on it's own you will enjoy it much more if you have read the others. It is a marvellous mix of historical and contemporary romance. You can truly get  involved with all the characters. With our hero travelling forward in time he is baffled by all that he sees. A true highland warrior he has much to learn to win his love. Our heroine is angry that this man knows of her past but will not tell her. There is a wonderful magical battle with some surprise visitors. Some lovely  sexy scenes that could just rock our heroine's world.
I loved every page.


I am a constant daydreamer and have been told quite often to remove my head from the clouds. Yet, this is where I find the magic to write my stories. Not only do I love to weave a good tale, but I have a voracious appetite for reading. I worked for Borders Books for almost fourteen years. Imagine my delight to be surrounded by so many books, talking to others about them, and getting paid. Pure bliss! 

I have traveled to England, Scotland, Ireland, and France. There are those who know me well when I say, “My heart is in the Highlands.” I believe I have left it there, or maybe in Ireland. 

When not writing, I enjoy playing in my garden–another place where magic grows. Of course, there is time spent with my family. They are the ones that keep me grounded.

Dragon Knight´s Shield. ( Dragon Knights #4) by Mary Morgan. ARC Review.




Angus MacKay, leader of the Dragon Knights, failed his brothers and his clan upon the death of his sister. Now he must fight the darkness of despair tempting his soul. Back on Scottish soil, he comes face to face with Deirdre who can wield a sword as mightily as his warriors, and takes her captive. Yet, with each passing day, the fire dragon inside him roars to claim the one woman fate has destined for him.

Famed mystery writer, Deirdre Flanagan, is unprepared for the next chapter in her life. On a vacation to Scotland, she steps through the mists and enters into a skirmish alongside a Highlander. However, the fight has only begun, and now she must battle Angus as well as evil in order to claim the love of this Dragon Knight.

Will their love be powerful enough to shield them from danger, or burn them to ashes?
 

Another absolutely marvellous time-travel  story.  I love this series.

Deirdre Flanagan is a successful author.  She has trained in lots of different forms of martial arts,  only for research purposes of course. Now she is off on a tour Ireland and Scotland that her friends bought her for her birthday.  The highland mist will take her further than she thinks.

Angus MacKay is a Knight on the tourney circuit , but rumours of evil stalking his homeland will draw him home. He has a small advantage when he fights, he can summon fire.  He is the eldest of the Dragon Knights who must regain  their full magic to defeat the evil Druid.

This book kept me enthralled from the very first page to the last. Lots of adventure (especially for Deirdre ) , magical battles ,and a wonderful romance. Our heroine is a very strong, kick ass, warrior woman. Our hero is a typically stubborn Highlander, but a lovely sexy one.

This book is the fourth in the series, and it is best to read them in order. I am very happy that there is at least one more book to come.

Dragon Knight´s Axe. by Mary Morgan. My ARC Review.





Alastair MacKay, a battle scarred Dragon Knight flees to the sea to separate himself from his Fae -given power connecting him to the land. But it is on land that he rescues a woman from a slave trader in Ireland. It is through Fiona he steps back inadvertently into a world filled with magic--taking on the role of protector and at the same time leading him on a journey to confront his greatest fears.
Research assistant ,Fiona O´Quinlan loves translating ancient artifactsat Trinity College. When she falls asleep on an archeoligical dig, she awakens in another time. She soon discovers a Dragon Knight´s relic has been entrusted into her care. Determined to return the artifact to the Great Glen, Fiona is unprepared for the danger ahead-- losing her heart and soul to Alastair "Beast" MacKay. 
Will their love be strong enough to soothe the beast and heal the man ? Or will Death swing it´s Axe , leaving them lost for all eternity?

Another wonderful story from the Dragon Knights series. The third book, it can be read as a stand alone, but contains spoilers for the first two.
Alastair MacKay has been punishing himself and denying his powers, since the death of his sister. His power is of the earth ,so he took to the sea as a trader. He and his crew are in port on the eastern side of Ireland when he saves a young woman from slavery. That act has committed him to return her to the family who share her name but she denies having.
Fiona O ´Quinlan fell asleep in 2015 at an archeological dig, and woke up in a very different time. 800 years in the past. Her confusion leads to her being captured by slavers.
Fiona has always been a bit of a misfit in her own time. She suffers from nightmares and has an unusual affinity with animals.
The more time Alastair spends on the land , and in Fiona´s company , the more trouble he has controlling the surge of power within him. He must not claim the power he feels he is not worthy of.
A great, magical adventure through the wilds of Ireland and the Scottish Highlands. With a typical modern ,independent woman and a tortured hero. They face a maniacal Laird , and must deal with Druids and the Fae. We meet up with the other MacKay brothers and their families. We still have another brother to meet . So our wonderful ,talented author needs to write quickly.

DRAGON KNIGHT´S MEDALLION, by Mary Morgan.

★★★★★
 DRAGON KNIGHT'S MEDALLION.
BY MARY MORGAN.
 This is the second book in the series.  It can easily be read as a stand alone.
 Although you would know the final result of the first book this one wouldn't spoil it for you.

 Aileen is a modern woman with an affinity to the earth magic. After her mother's death her father buried himself in his work in Scotland.  Aileen is pleased when he sends for her to help him, but is still cross with him for abandoning her. When she gets to Scotland she finds that her parents have been hiding a lot of family secrets. When she runs off in a temper she stumbles through a veil in time, and meets a warrior that is groaning in pain. Steven is a dragon Knight who has been punished by the Fae after the death of his sister. He has lost all belief in his position as a dragon Knight and hates the Fae for what they have done to him and his family. The druids are being persecuted by the new church.  So must hide from them and a powerful enemy who is looking for vengeance. Steven has taken on the task of protecting them.

 This book has everything I look for in a good story. Sexy Highlander knights, time travel and magic. The characters are strong and great fun. The boy Ian is lovely.  The storyline keeps the pages flying by. I will be reading the rest of the series when it is written, and am going to get the first one to read soon.
