Excellent Sequel

I've been waiting for this book for a long time, and I want to say that I was not disappointed, It follows book one, but with more in depth situations than the first one, especially between Niall an Guaire, it was interesting reading of the male couple,something that it is not common on every day love story. And the connection between Abigail and Talorc it just beautiful. How each one of them deals with their feelings and fears,but coming to a beautiful understating and acceptation of each other. For those who are fans of Miss Lucy, You'll simply fall in love with this book. There was only one turn off for me and it was regarding Sybil, Abagail's mother. I really want her punish, but I hope this will be deal with in future books.

5 Hearts from TRS!

Abigail, even with her inability to hear, is a very strong heroine. I believe this is due to her big sister Emily as well as her experiences with her step-mom. The way she adapted to her deafness helped her in dealing with Talorc's clan. Talorc never believed he would have a mate, let alone an English woman and a human. His attraction to Abigail is immediate upon meeting her but he has never experienced these feelings before so he doesn't know how to handle them. Talorc's moral character is very evident in what he does and what he says. I loved how the relationship progressed and how Abigail's guilelessness earned her the respect of Talorc's seasoned warriors and other friends. This story plays on all your emotions, from the witty and fun dialogue to the heart-stopping romance. The sex scenes were very satisfying with tenderness, sensuality, and an emotional connection between Abigail and Talorc. I loved how the book ended and will look forward to reading more about the Chrechte. Moon Craving is an outstanding paranormal romance with intriguing characters, an enthralling plot, and witty dialogue. - Lisa Freeman

A fantastic and heart-warming love story for open-minded readers

The new book in the "Children if the Moon" - series by Lucy Monroe is a great read and one of my favourite romances of the last months. When Talorc, laird of the Sinclairs and leader of a powerful werewolf pack, is forced to marry English Abigail he is not interested in doing more than his duty. But soon after meeting innocent and strong-willed Abigail he realizes that she is the one woman whom he could love. Abigail is also forced to marry and is afraid what the future holds for her. But she is fascinated by Talorc from the first moment and soon after their wedding Abigail couldn't be happier because she loves Talorc and her new home. But both have secrets they don't want the other to know. Talorc that he is a werewolf and Abigail that she is deaf (she is great at lipreading so she can fool Talorc and his clan for some time). When first Abigail's secret and then Talorc's are exposed both have to overcome their distrust and disappointment to continue their relationship and have a chance for a happy end. "Moon Craving" is one of the books that I couldn't lay out of my hands once I started reading it. The characters are great and the love story between Talorc and Abigail is truly wonderful and heartwarming. Abigail is an amazing heroine. How she handles life although she is deaf is great and to read how she grows stronger and stronger throughout the book is wonderful. Talorc is just as great as Abigail. The way he cares for her even when he thinks that she has betrayed him is awesome. It's also very fascinating to read how Talorc and his wolf fall in love with Abigail. There is a second love story in the book that is also beautiful and special. I'm not going to tell you who is involved in it, but let's just say that I was positivly suprised by the open-minded way Lucy Monroe wrote it (hint: same-sex couple). I also enjoyed reading about the Sinclair clan, how they welcomed Abigail and especially how they admired her after they realized that she is deaf. It was also very nice to meet Emily and Lachlan from "Moon Awakening" again. Although there are paranormal (werewolves) elements in the book it's mainly a love story. So even if you are normally not a fan of these kinds of stories you should give "Moon Craving" a try. So all in all "Moon Craving" is amazing and one of the best books by Lucy Monroe so far. I'm already excited for the next books by this great author.

Moon Craving-A Joyfully Recommended Title!!

The Laird of the Sinclair clan, as well as the Alpha of his Chrechte wolf pack, Talorc has just been commissioned by his king to marry an Englishwoman. Talorc and his clan know first hand the treachery of the English. Talorc doesn't want to marry, but is unwilling to defy his king. Travelling to the border between England and Scotland, he comes face to face with his bride and while he doesn't trust this beautiful woman, he and his inner wolf desire her. And it is for this reason alone that Talorc weds Abigail. To find out that she is his true mate is something that he never expects, but knows not to question. Until he trusts her, however, Talorc vows to be on his guard with her - there is no way she can ever know what he is - his wolf, however, feels quite differently. Abigail has her own secrets to hide. Deaf since a childhood illness when she was ten, she has learned to read lips and function without anyone knowing of her infirmity. Being told she is to be married is something that Abigail never expects, even if it is just her sadistic mother's way of getting rid of her. When she meets Talorc before their wedding, she sees in him something that her heart desires. Now if only she can just hide the fact that she can't hear, all will be well - or so she thinks. Abigail doesn't count on the mistrust she experiences when she tries to make a life for herself in her new home. Talorc is a familiar character to me having read Moon Awakening, book one of this series. Originally ordered to marry Abigail's sister, Talorc still remembers being called a goat so he isn't ready for the acceptance and sheer magnitude of the attraction he feels for Abigail. She is everything angelic to him and so what if she has her own idiosyncrasies. Their desire for each other is instantaneous and the lovemaking between Talorc and Abigail is heady and potent. They burn up the sheets, quite nicely if I do say so myself. While he thought of Abigail as an enemy, I could see his feelings for her change with every scene until I was confident that he loved Abigail as much as she loved him. Moon Craving is the sequel I have been waiting for with bated breath. It is exactly what I needed to read and the fact that it is an excellent novel makes me all the more excited to joyfully recommend such a passionate and wonderful book. Fans of Lucy Monroe will sign with romantic delight as the pages come alive. Don't miss it! Talia Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed
