With her ailing aunt in need of care and companionship, Saraid Garwich moves to her family’s forest estate. She’d never liked visiting as a child. She hated camping or anything to do with bugs, getting dirty, and not having the comforts of modern living. Something about the forest had always seemed dangerous. When one night during a fever dream, her aunt tells her that her destiny lies within the … the heart of the woods, Saraid promises her aunt she’ll go. When she does, she sees something she never thought possible: a man turning into a centaur. More surprisingly, the man is Keilan, her aunt’s groundskeeper. She thinks both of them are crazy and makes plans to return to her life in New York. Except she can’t get the centaur, or the man, out of her mind. And with each passing day, it’s becoming harder and harder to leave.
Keilan Ceffyl needs to find his mate. His family has lived in the secret woods, one of the last vestiges of magic, for generations. When Saraid comes to tend to her ailing aunt, her destiny becomes intertwined with his. She needs to become the Guardian and accept her destiny as his mate. Without her, both of their lines will end and the consequences for the worlds of magic and of man, will be devastating. But how can he convince a pampered city girl that living and loving through the forest will save them both?

I have read other stories about Centaurs and their mates but this one has a
different twist to it. Magical portals, a Guardian, magical woods, Centaurs, a villain, and romance. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Magic & mayhem run side by side in this tale. Danger is waiting in the wings, the threat of a magical portal being closed forever hangs in the balance. A family legacy almost slips away before our heroine can complete her destiny.

Ever feel the world was against you? That’s how Saraid was feeling. She lost her job in New York and then found out her beloved aunt was dying. Now she has returned to Wales and the ancestral home to take care of her aunt. Even though she had been captivated by her aunt’s stories of Centaurs running through the forest and other magical creatures on the otherside of the veil, she has always been uncomfortable just looking those woods.
Now her aunt has told her the stories and that magical world were true and she is destined to be the next guardian. Will she take over as the new guardian or will both worlds be lost forever.

I enjoyed this shifter story with great characters, romance and intrigue. Her aunt lived by the forest and was now dying. She went to help out and found out that her aunt was a guardian and she would be the guardian her auntndied. Also, the guy that tended the land was her mate and they had to do a ritual to cement everything. There was danger from an uncle, but the ending was great.

She comes home to take care of a dying aunt. But finds out the world there is not always what it seems and her life is expected to be much more than she knows. He has known about her since she was little but waits for her. This has a lot of excitement, suspense, drama, intrigue and so much more. I love these zodiac paranormal romances. Awesome reads.

Saraid looked at the woods and shivered at the memory of getting lost as a child and the groundskeeper’s son having to lead her home. She feared those woods, but she loved her Aunt Aislyn who was currently dying. She had always told Saraid stories of centaurs running through the woods and magic. She wished she could listen to a story now, but her aunt was too weak.
Keilan, the groundskeeper, was standing in the archway of the sitting room and it startled her when she turned around. He had wanted to talk with Aunt Aislyn about the spring flowers, even though she may not be here then. But he knew is calmed her to talk about them. Saraid invited him to come for dinner when Aunt Aislyn would be awake. When Saraid sat by Aislyn’s bed later, her aunt said they made a nice couple.
Saraid wasn’t tired, so she went to look through the books. The leather-bound books seemed to call to her, and she saw that they talked about guardians, portals, and centaurs. The first line caught her attention, as it said, “To all of those of my line with the calling…” and she felt herself shiver. But she settled in to read the fascinating book. She had a dream about a stone arch that Keilan said was a portal which he and his father came through. When her aunt died, she would have to take up her role as Guardian of the forest which was a magical place. He would be hers; then his form shimmered into a centaur! He told her to quickly find the green leather book. When she awoke, her aunt was calling her and was burning up with fever. The stories her aunt had always told her were actually true, and the time is quickly coming for Saraid to overcome her fear of the woods to accept her duties as Guardian. Can she do that? Will she accept Keilan as her mate, as it was also destined? If she cannot, the magical connection will be severed.
This is a good story that brings what seemed to be a myth to life for Saraid. She will have difficult choices to make, and little time now to make those choices. What will she decide? Get your copy and see if she can live up to her potential or let her fears overcome her!
I loved this book! There is romance, mystery and the plot is great, however I wish it was quite longer. I would like to read more of this author 🙂

This story was a little clunky and took a while to get it’s footing, but I ended up liking it by the end. I mostly enjoyed the use of a centaur as the shifter. It’s an underused mythological beast, as far as shifter romance.
