Moon Burning by Lucy Monroe
Children of the Moon Book 3
A historical paranormal romance filled with fierce clans, forbidden love, and the transformative power of acceptance.
From USA Today Bestselling Author Lucy Monroe comes a tale of forbidden love, ancient rivalries, and the transformative power of trust in the Scottish Highlands.
A Highland laird. A raven warrior. A love that defies centuries of hatred.
Barr never sought leadership, but duty calls him to become laird of the struggling Donegal clan and leader of its werewolf pack. His path takes an unexpected turn when he discovers a mysterious, alluring woman in the forest—her memory as fragile as her human form. Could she be his true mate?
Sabrine, a raven shifter on a mission to save her people from extinction, feigns amnesia to infiltrate the enemy clan and retrieve a sacred artifact. But her growing desire for Barr threatens to derail her quest. As secrets unravel and passions ignite, they must choose between duty and a love that could heal ancient wounds.

“Strong, dynamic characters and a secret animosity between shifter clans make for an exciting third book” ~Bookaholics Reviewer, amazon.com
“Moon Burning is a captivating story that is hard to put down. The characters are charismatic and deeply moving. The relationship between Barr and Sabrine is intriguing as well as sensual. The friendship between members of the clan is heartfelt and riveting. I love being drawn into this world and hope to come back to it again soon. You can never go wrong with a Lucy Monroe story.” ~Judy, reader reviewer, amazon.com
“As with Moon Awakening and Mood Craving, I was not disappointed with this book. I wasn’t sure how Monroe would pull off a third book, but she did it perfectly and I hope there will be more added to this series. Although the book is considered paranormal romance, it doesn’t dwell too much on the paranormal, but more on the romance. And that’s what I love about this series.
And OMG the sexy-parts are to die for; well written and… oh my! Well done Lucy! A+++” ~Anita, reader reviewer, amazon.com
