A Highlander's Obsession: A Highlander's Beloved Novel Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
In the vein of Jennifer Ashley’s Shifters Unbound series and Shelly Laurenston’s Pride Stories, Vonnie Davis introduces two wandering souls who discover that true love needs no words in this explosive, fantastical novel.
  
Somehow able to telepathically communicate with animals, Paisley Munro has found meaning in her so-called gifts by working as a veterinary assistant. But while traveling to Scotland for a relative’s funeral, Paisley fears that she really has lost her mind. Out in the highlands, she hears distinctly human thoughts coming from a wild bear. Terrified and desperate, she returns to the lodge and collapses in the powerful arms of its owner, a mysterious man with whom she shares a simmering attraction.
 
Creighton Matheson and his fellow shape-shifters have been roaming this land freely for centuries. Now Paisley may inherit his home, putting his kind in grave danger. His mistrust only deepens when he realizes she can read his mind. Yet he cannot deny that this tantalizing woman makes him burn with desire—and hunger for the prospect of a tender love. Now Creighton must decide which would hurt more: revealing the truth or losing Paisley forever.

"Sizzling Romance With an Edge."

Vonnie Davis is an international, award-winning author who likens herself to a freshly baked croissant: Warm, crusty, wrinkled, a tad flaky--and best served with strong coffee.

When she's not walking her Shih-Tzu, she hunches over her laptop bringing to life the men who strut through her dreams with a self-assured swagger. They end up in passion-filled contemporary, paranormal, or romantic suspense stories with strong dollops of humor. Vonnie's heroes are always that delightful blend of alpha male with a chewy chocolate center.

Her heroines? Feisty females who can bring an alpha male to his knees. They feel deeply, fight strongly, and never give up.

This proud grandma loves to travel to the settings of her stories. They range from the Scottish Highlands to Paris to all the beautiful spots found only in the United States.

I loved reading Vonnie Davis' Highlander's Obsession !!! Highland romances are one of my favorite genres. It made me laugh so hard that l cried, and was so steamy, I was sweating!!! The characters of Creighton and Paisley were so believable and adorable together. Even Paisley's granmother made me laugh out loud!!! As a reader, if you're looking for a wonderful steamy adventure, filled with passion and romance, I highly recommend this to you :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Secrets, surprises, seduction...SCRUMPTIOUS!
Reviewed in the United States on 5 January 2015

This story swept me off my feet. I mean, can you imagine a Scottish Alpha Male who possesses the actions of an 18th Century Laird yet lives in the 21st Century? Gads, it's too good to be true. It begins with a 5★ studded BANG and carries that echoing, resounding crescendo to the final line.

He has mesmerizing, passionate dark brown eyes flecked with gold and long raven black hair.... He's the epitome of the expression "larger than life" as he exudes power and magnetism. Creighton Matheson is massive in size with an overwhelming personality...he's a commanding force who compels a room when he walks in. It's as if he's a misplaced medieval warrior in the 21st century. He's Laird over Clan Matheson and Mathe Castle. He's tender and compassionate yet fierce and protective. He's one hawt piece of yummy cheeeeze...and he harbors a profound secret.

Paisley Munro arrives in Scotland with her Grandmother expecting to attend a funeral and then be off, back to the States. She is completely unprepared for the paranormal adventure that lies in store for her. Paisley is a golden blond haired, unassuming beauty with big sky blue eyes masked by thick black glasses that continually slide down her nose. She's beautiful in her geeky, book-wormish kind of way. She's strong and competent with a little spark and sass when riled. She's blessed with a shapely figure but is fairly oblivious to her attributes. And Paisely has a mystical, magical power within her. A gift. And she keeps it hidden...a secret.

I absolutely gravitated to this entire, fabulous story. I love stories where the guy does the chasing...I dunno, I guess I'm "old school" and don't like to see women grovel or chase men. So this story wrapped it's big arms around me and reeled me in from its beginning. I loved how the Matheson Clan still held to their Scottish traditions and strong family values in a 21st century setting, yet giving the story a slight medieval flavor. Outstanding! I loved Creightons' possessiveness of Paisley and how he immediately acts upon his attraction to her. He wastes NO time at all... He's obsessed. He's found his mate and he knows it without any doubts. I loved Paisleys strengths and sense of loyalty as well as her sass. In fact, the very things that Creighton loves about Paisley ends up keeping her from committing herself to him.

The dialogue was so passionate and witty with extremely humorous situations between the three brothers....Creighton, Ronan and Bryce. It had me rolling on the floor with laughter. This author did a superb job conveying each situation to me...from the drama and suspense to the passion and paranormal intrigue. I fell hard and heavy for each macho Scottish male in the story...but none more than Creighton. I'm only sorry I've never read this author until now....she's quite talented. Brava Ms. Davis. Encore!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Shift yourself and read this.

I am beginning to think shifters is my genre of book. This is the first bear shifter book I have read and other than the sometimes annoying dialect the book is great.

Wouldn't it be something if there were shifters amongst us.....I hope there are but even if there are not, then those who write about them please continue and it gives me great pleasure to read the books.

I liked the grandmother character particularly in this book. An older woman with some spunk....fabulous and I bet she wears purple with a red hat. Looking forward to reading the next in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT WRITING!
Reviewed in the United States on 28 June 2016

Such a unique story line, a mix of my favorite genre - Highlander's mixed with shape shifter's.

This would easily have been 5 stars for me, but the h turned me off at times with her attitude, she was a love/hate character for me. She was just a tad disagreeable.

There is passionate lovemaking, HEA with many bumps to reach it, wonderful secondary character's too. No cliffhanger's either, but I wished the author would have included an Epilogue because I wanted to know more about the future for this couple.

Our H was a perfect alpha male. This takes place in modern times in Scotland, a country I visited a few years ago, because I loved the novels I read about the people and their love of their country.

I am not going into the premise of the story, as it has been told, but I highly recommend this story. (ljb)

4.0 out of 5 stars A bear of a man in a kilt...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 February 2015

When you're a sucker for a Scottish man in a kilt and the odd shape-shifter, discovering a series that features both is no bad thing. And never has a title been more apt, because A Highlander's Obsession is exactly what we get; Creighton Matheson is an intense, protective man, who wears his heart on his sleeve and is nothing but honest...most of the time.

"Ye'd do well to be afraid of me, for I want ye naked, beneath me like I've never desired another woman before."

When American, Paisley Munro and her Gran, Effie, arrive at Matheson Lodge for a family funeral, the last thing Paisley expects is to be attracted to the Laird. But she is and it's not long before they discover each other has secrets. And with a superb chemistry, their story is filled with fight, lust, emotion and some laugh-out-loud humour

"Are you shy? What's wrong, big guy? Afraid to show me your Scottish bagpipe?"

There were elements of this book I loved and those I loved less so. The storyline is great, it has momentum and introduces us to a plethora of characters with their own stories to be told. But as much as I was cheering Creighton and Paisley on, equally they frustrated with her flitting from feisty and stubborn to a bit of a cry-baby and he being overly possessive; granted he's alpha in both human and shifter form, but his possessive nature was a touch off-putting at times.

Vonnie Davis is a new author to me and, once I had gotten my head around the written Scottish dialect which at first read a little more Irish to me, I liked her style and found it a well-paced, enjoyable read. And with Bryce's story set up nicely, I look forward to seeing what lies in store.

3.5 Stars.
