A fabulous historical romance with a touch of magic. Ruairi the shapeshifter has come to claim a mate among the humans in the town of Carraroe. But, he's not after the twon's most beautiful girl - he wants her fiery sister!

I did read this book all the way through. A type of celtic/fairy book, but not a traditional fairy story. This one was about a dude who's a horse. I never really got into it. Nothing seemed to HAPPEN. I don't think I would necessarily recommend this book.
