A review by kaje_harper
The Druid Stone by Heidi Belleau, Violetta Vane

5.0

This book is an intriguing fantasy, an adventure, a family story and a romance that is sweet and hot and kept me guessing right up to the end. The urban fantasy setting is familiar in its depiction of the fae and yet adds a new twist with the intermediary between humans and Sidhe being a druid main character. The writing was smooth and engaging. Occasionally I got slightly lost in the twists of shifting fantasy worlds, in mirror perhaps to the disorientation of the MC's, but most of the imagery worked very well. I liked both MC's. I appreciated the way Cormac was caught between his unresolved past with Michael and his possible future with Sean, between the demands of his calling and his desire to stop making hard choices, between the hometown he felt bound to and a man who lived an ocean away. Sean was a great character. I always enjoyed his POV, with very real concerns and uncertainties about both the unbelievable adventure he had fallen into and the equally unfamiliar romance he was beginning to become invested in. Cormac's family added warmth and depth to the story. I recommend this for readers who enjoy Urban Fantasy M/M.
