Under Loch and Key by Lana Ferguson

4.5

Well, I, for one, am certainly glad Lana Ferguson decided to dip her toes into monster romance. 

Under Loch and Key tells the tale of Keyanna “Key” MacKay, who discovers that her late father’s tale of the Loch Ness Monster turns out to be true when she goes to Ireland to connect with the extended family she’s never met.

Lachlan Greer has been taught to never trust a MacKay, so he hates Key on sight and wants her to go somewhere else, anywhere else really. He certainly doesn’t find her attractive or intriguing at all, and he definitely doesn’t want her to learn any of his secrets.

At a glance:
- Dual POV
- Irish setting
- Monster romance
- Ancient curse
- Enemies-to-lovers
- Reconnecting with family
- Uncovering secrets
- Grief

Read it for
- The banter and humor
- How fiercely Lachlan loves Key (once he realizes he doesn’t hate her after all)
- The meddlesome twins
- How Key reconnects with her family
- And how she accepts Lachlan for who he is
- Their determination to end the curse
- The Highland games scene (Hello, men in kilts!)
- Some (ahem) scenes involving certain aspects of Lachlan’s inner monster
- An epilogue that gave me the biggest grin

I received an advance copy of the book from Berkley. All review opinions are my own.
