About this book
Keyanna MacKay always believed her father’s stories about monsters were just bedtime fables. But following his sudden death, a cryptic trail leads her to the rugged, mist-covered shores of Scotland. Thrust into a world of ancient secrets and hidden lineages, Key realizes the legends were not only real, but deeply personal. When she is rescued from a treacherous accident by a brooding, sharp-tongued Scotsman, she discovers that some monsters are far more dangerous—and tempting—than she ever imagined.
Lachlan Greer has spent his life guarding his family’s territory and protecting his own guarded heart. He views Key as an unwelcome complication, a woman whose mere presence threatens the delicate balance of his world. Yet, as they are forced into an uneasy proximity, their mutual hostility begins to crack. What starts as a clash of wills quickly ignites into an undeniable, scorching attraction that neither can ignore.
This paranormal romance perfectly blends atmospheric tension with the classic enemies-to-lovers trope. As Key uncovers her own dormant powers and Lachlan faces the truth about his past, they must decide if they are enemies destined to destroy one another or the only two people capable of breaking a centuries-old curse. Dive into this spicy, supernatural Scottish adventure if you are looking for your next addictive, monster-filled obsession.

📖✨ Under Loch and Key by Lana Ferguson ✨📖 If a Hallmark monster romance is your guilty pleasure, then grab your cozy blanket and dive into Under Loch and Key! 🏰🐉 This paranormal romance delivers plenty of cheesy, cringe worthy moments (in the best way!) but pairs them with a fun, lighthearted storyline and a touch of spice. 🌶️ Keyanna’s journey to Scotland for family secrets and magic collides with Lachlan, her grumpy Scotsman savior—and their dynamic is full of bickering and slow burn...

Ferguson is outstanding when it comes to spicy scenes. But neither this book or The Game Changer reached the level of The Nanny or The Fake Mate when it comes to the story. The book drags on and instead of paying more attention to the details of the mystery surrounding the curse, the author spends pages and pages on mundane things. *spoilers* Granny is not a McKay, why is she the important one to win over? It should've been Granddaddy Brodie turning evil and crazy came too sudden, and was not...
