Author Lara MacGregor lives in Colorado. She has written flash fiction to full-length novels, mostly historical, but other genres as well such as paranormal, especially time travel stories. She has a B.A. degree in Modern Languages with a minor in music and an M.A. degree in history. She plays guitar and piano and loves reading as many books as time will allow.

Review:

An exciting romance built around a handful of souls who bond as if a family intent on encouraging good fellowship…a tender relief from today’s world of human hardship.

Lara MacGregor has that knack of painting her characters with such flourish, yet somehow illustrating love and mateship in a trail of doubt and question, an envious ability.

Its sense of mateship and care for friends is persistently warming.
