Under Loch and Key
Under Loch and Key | Lana Ferguson
17 posts | 11 read | 12 to read
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.

I actually really enjoyed this one, and I was not expecting it! A good mix of humour, monster smut and Scottish lore, I think this is a good book to pick up if you haven‘t quite branched out into this genre. While I‘d say it‘s tame, it also delivers on what you should expect 😉.

And a hot, grumpy Scotsman doesn‘t hurt.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

CoverToCoverGirl I‘m going to branch out, your review and the Scottish bit convinced me. 🤭 1mo
StellaDz @CoverToCoverGirl hope you like it! I was nervous but I think it‘s a good starter 🤪 1mo

Welp, this won the vote on my Scottish selections for my longest running book club—& it‘s most definitely the most sexually explicit book the club has ever read together in its over 15 years of existence! From the cutesy cover & shapeshifting plot, I didn‘t expect this enemies-to-lovers romance to be quite so graphic (he can‘t control turning into Nessie by night, but manages to turn some specific body parts into something more monstrous!😳).

TorieStorieS The plot‘s pretty predictable but it‘s a quick read— though I am not really sure what there will be to discuss! 2mo
rubyslippersreads I 💚 Nessie, and had this on my TBR, but I don‘t think it‘s for me. Thanks for the warning. 2mo

TorieStorieS @rubyslippersreads No problem— I did see the spice rating on Aardvark‘s site when I ordered it, but the other book with the same rating wasn‘t nearly as graphic, so I didn‘t hesitate to include it when I picked books to discuss! My mom is in this club too, so I handed over my copy with the same warning, haha!! 2mo
TorieStorieS @rubyslippersreads Have you read any good Nessie books? This one and the last one were just not monstery enough! 2mo
TorieStorieS @5feet.of.fury Indeed!! 😆 My mom and my teenage niece are in this book club as well as friends so it will be an interesting discussion (or a nonexistent one!) on Sunday! 2mo
5feet.of.fury @TorieStorieS oh no! Lmao hope they aren‘t too scandalized. 2mo
TorieStorieS @5feet.of.fury I was clutching my pearls on their behalf as I read! 😆 Well, I was actually laughing so loud about it that my husband came in from another room to find out what was so funny! Wish me luck for Sunday though! 2mo
rubyslippersreads @TorieStorieS I‘ve only read one, but am definitely up for suggestions for more. 2mo
TorieStorieS @rubyslippersreads oh, thanks! I‘ll have to check this one out! Other than the disappointing Monster, I also read Steve Alten‘s 2mo

I hope that she somewhere she knows that I will take care of her family, that I will never take them for granted.
Because they‘re mine now too.

This was a really cute fantasy romance with some spicy scenes. I loved the setting (I‘ve always been a fan of Scotland and the Loch Ness monster.) The backstory added depth and believability as well. I‘d be curious to see what fans of Ali Hazelwood‘s Bride think, because I think the monster sex scenes in this book are much better (IYKYK).

This may be my favorite #Afterlight edition yet. I don‘t know if I‘m more obsessed with the cover or the fore-edges 😍
Not pictured is the illustrated cover and end pages which are also really nice.
This is why this is my favorite subscription.

AkashaVampie Have u started it yet? I have it on my TBR 7mo
DogEaredBooks @AkashaVampie 🫠 umm no. But it‘s at the top of my tbr now 7mo

My first monster romance. Loch Ness monster romance. Loved it!! Key‘s father passed away so she goes to Scotland to scatter his ashes and meet his side of the family. She gets enrolled in solving a mystery.

#weekendreads - I meant to post this way earlier today. I‘ve been reading the tagged book since the first of the year.

I‘ve been listening to The Crescent Tea Room on audio.

I enjoyed this but I think with all the holiday happenings I finished feeling like I didn‘t love it as much as her Fake Mate. Hoping she continues on with cryptid romance!

A spicy rom-com set in the Scottish highlands of loch ness. Keyanna 'Key' MacKay returns to her ancestral home after her father's death to reconnect with her paternal relatives. A chance encounter with the rugged local, Lachlan, leads to secrets uncovered and a mystical connection to the legendary cryptid Nessie. It definitely fits the trope of shifter/monster romance.😉😅🤣

Oh @AardvarkBookClub you temptress.
I added, removed, added different ones… and settled on a selection that may be a little less typical for me… but just as exciting. 🤩 #aardvark #aardvarkbookclub

Also we decorated our tree today! @Malachi helped a lot!! 🎄♥️

And I mailed out 3 more swap packages:
Both of my #jolabokaflodswap packages and my #LittleChristmasSwap package. 😅💌📦📚💝
