12/3/2024

Hi and welcome to my blog tour stop for *Under Loch and Key** by Lana Ferguson. The Fake Mate was so good that I couldn't wait for this one, and it turned out as steamy & arresting as I had expected. Read on for a summary and my review!

Summary.

Keyanna “Key” MacKay is used to secrets. Raised by a single father who never divulged his past, it’s only after his death that she finds herself thrust into the world he’d always refused to speak of. With just a childhood bedtime story about a monster that saved her father’s life and the name of her estranged grandmother to go off of, Key has no idea what she’ll find in Scotland. But repeating her father’s mistakes and being rescued by a gorgeous, angry Scotsman—who thinks she’s an idiot—is definitely the last thing she expects.

My review.

Imagine that Nessie is actually a cursed, grumpy Scot who can’t stop thinking about the woman who’s supposedly fated to be his ruination.

Lana Ferguson’s Under Loch & Key is another sizzlin’ story featuring cryptids. In this one, Keyanna travels to Scotland to release her father’s ashes & meet her remaining estranged family. There, she meets said grumpy Scot.

The sparks between Keyanna & Lachlan come across loud & clear, friends. Lana Ferguson doesn’t mess around when it comes to steam & building attraction between the leads. Their love story is adorable—quiet details like Key’s “wee bunny teeth” really got to me. Though the plot kind of gets into the weeds at the end, this story is hope- & sensuality-filled.
