Moon Burning by Lucy Monroe
Barr never asked to be made laird over the struggling Donegal clan, or leader of its werewolf pack. But he'll do his duty and although he hasn’t yet found his mate, he hopes she will be among his people. He expects his new role to be difficult; he doesn't expect to discover a naked woman in the forest whose memory is as fragile as her human body—her delectable, all too appealing body. Could this woman be his true mate?

On a mission to save her people from extinction, Sabrine pretends she has no memory in order to gain access to her enemy: the Donegal clan. A raven shifter, she is determined to retrieve the sacred stone that rightfully belongs to her people. But soon she’ll be engulfed in her burning desire and growing love for Barr—and the dangerous and inescapable secrets destined to keep them apart...

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS: Top Pick

MOON BURNING serves as my introduction into the Children of the Moon novels and to Lucy Monroe's style of writing. Both are impressive, and her works seem destined to be added to my automatic purchase list.

MOON BURNING is very Underworld-ish to me. There are no vampires, but there are werewolves looking to change the rules and escape the past. They wish to blend with humans, or at the very least, protect them, all within the clan anarchy of the twelfth century. The action in MOON BURNING is not as intense as Underworld, but the deceit and villainy most certainly are. The romance does not disappoint (except for the stubbornness of the heroine near the end), and the whole read is most satisfying.

I look forward to reading more offerings from Ms. Monroe and certainly hope to visit with the characters of MOON BURNING again.
