(Off Goodreads)

Sea Panther ~ a Scottish inspired paranormal romance with a Highlander vampire shifter hero, a modern damsel in distress, adventure, suspense, and romance. And a wee bit of time travel—just for fun.

Can love mend a fractured soul?

After evading arrest for Jacobite activities, Scottish nobleman Robert MacLachlan turns privateer. A Caribbean Voodoo priestess curses him to an eternal existence as a vampire shifter torn between the dual natures of a Florida panther and an immortal blood-thirsting man. For centuries, he seeks to reverse the black magic whilst maintaining his honor. Cruising the twenty-first century Atlantic, he becomes shorthanded to sail his 90-foot yacht, Sea Panther. The last thing he wants is a female crewmember and the call of her blood.

Although she swore never to sail again after her father died in a sailing accident, Kimberly Scot answers the captain's crew wanted ad to escape a hit man. She's lost everything, her fiancé, her job, and most of her money, along with money belonging to her ex-clients. A taste of Kimberly's blood convinces Robert she is the one woman who can claim the panther's heart. To break the curse, they travel back in time to where it all began—Jamaica 1715.

My Review:

Vampire shifters, curses and time travel, combining them all together and you get a thrilling and refreshingly different paranormal romance.  The reader easily gets caught up in this story as danger escalates and new elements are introduced, not to mention surprising twists that really keep the reader guessing.  The author created such a fantastical world that at first I was worried that it might be too much, but she managed to bring the story together seamlessly and without the reader getting lost, even when the characters manage to go back in time. I found the story to be enjoyable and entertaining with captivating characters and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series…I’m hoping its Robert’s sister Raven’s story.
