Bridget Sawyer has lived her life alone, having been orphaned twice – once by her biological parents and again by her foster parents.  Growing up being shuffled to various foster families, she falls into an abusive marriage.  Now divorced, she lives a solitary life in an isolated cabin, never expecting to fall in love.   Just as unexpected is the shape-shifting naked man she finds in her cabin one night!   

Cursed hundreds of years ago, Khail is a member of The Unkind, whose touch is fatal to anyone he touches – that is, until he touches Bridget!  When she survives his touch, she stirs feelings in him he had long since buried, never expecting to be able to fulfill those needs again…  Can he protect her from the wrath of The Unkind and survive their vengeance himself?

Shape-shifting ravens may not seem sexy, but they definitely are in this book!  Khail is fierce, lonely, and cuts quite picture as a tortured romantic hero.  His story of redemption and love is heart-rending and noble as he proves himself willing to sacrifice everything for the woman he loves – Bridget. 

Bridget’s story in Talons:  Kiss Me Deadly would bring anyone to tears.  The multiple tragedies in her life have driven her to self-imposed solitude and a life of lonely contentment.  As Bridget’s back story is revealed, I found myself needing tissues more than once!  When Khail falls into her life, she is stunned to recognize him, and even more stunned to find herself falling for him.  Not so surprising, the reader finds themselves falling for Khail right along with her… 

This is my first read by Shannon Stacy and I daresay it will not be the last!
