Goodreads Blurb:
The MacAlasdairs are not like other men.
Descendants of an ancient alliance, they live for centuries, shifting between human and dragon forms. Some wander the earth; some keep to their lands in Scotland. And Stephen MacAlasdair, the newest lord of the family, must go to London to settle his father’s business affairs. He brings an object of great power and greater darkness. He finds an enemy from his past, whose wrath is still living and deadly. And he meets an ally he’d never have expected.
1894 London, doesn't provide an easy life for women of the lower class, but Mina Seymour has managed to work herself up to a position as the secretary of a famous scholar. When a tall, dark Scottish stranger demands to see her employer, Mina is irritated; when MacAlasdair's departure leaves the professor worried, she’s suspicious. Determined to figure out the situation, she investigates further - and finds a world and a man she could never have imagined.

My Review:
Legend of the Highland Dragon is a great read for any fans of the genre that enjoy or are looking for some to read that's a bit slow paced, romantic, original, magical and has a wonderful HEA. A 3.5 rounded to a 4 rating.
Mina is an independent woman that has worked very hard to be get to where she currently is while hiding where she truly comes from. All is well and good until the day a dark stranger walks into her workplace and brings forth unbelievable curiosity. A curiosity she cannot ignore!
Stephen holds many secrets. Each one very guarded and cherished. He takes many precautions to prevent others from finding out who/what he really is and what else is out there. But when an old enemy resurfaces, it becomes virtually impossible to keep certain things hidden from all. Then there's the fact that a human woman brings forth unnatural feelings within him. Feelings he has never thought himself capable of having.
This is my first time reading anything from Isabel Cooper and I enjoyed it. Actually I hope she decides to write a story for Stephen's brother. I'd LOVE to read that!
