The Invasion of Falgannon Isle, the second book by Deborah MacGillivray, is a true delight. Set in an isle in the Hebrides, B.A. Montgomerie sets out to free her isle from an ancient curse. If she doesn't succeed, her whacky islanders will never find wives, and only boy babies will be born to people already wed.
Enter Desmond Mershan, a green-eyed, black-haired man. Haunted by his past, is he the answer to everyone's prayers, or has he come to tear their lives apart?
Ms. MacGillivray once again delivers a brilliant novel. After A Restless Knight, people may have wondered whether MacGillivray could maintain the level of brilliant writing. Well, I for one am here to tell you she has! Although a contemporary, rather than the historical she captured our hearts with, MacGillivray has weaved a tale of enchantment. Join her on a whirlwind tour of Falgannon Isle as the mists separate to let you tour the island. Join her whacky islanders as they plot to bring B.A. and Desmond together. And join Dudley The Cat as he stakes claim to his two humans. I can guarantee you won't be disappointed!

I am not typically a romance reader, but the idea of 213 unwed Scotsman dwelling on a single isle grabbed my attention. And the kilts. Can you ever go wrong with kilts?
"The Invasion of Falgannon Isle", summed up in one word, is original. DeborahAnne MacGillivray's unique voice breathes life into the book. Her quirky cast of characters make you feel at home on Falgannon, as if they really exist. Characters trade their surnames for their occupations on Falgannon, like 'Michael the Story' or 'Robbie the Butcher". MacGillivray takes your hand and walks you down the roads of the the self-sufficient isle, where designer labels are laughed at, and unique shops make one yearn to vacation in the reclusive place in the outer Hebrides.
Desmond Mershan appears on Falgannon to exact revenge on the isle's previous owner.
However, he did not calculate BarbraAnne Montgomerie into his plans to pillage and gain control of the isle. She being the current Lady of the Isle, the only one able to return love to all the single Scotsmen.
An ancient curse keeps love from all on Falgannon, and until The Lady marries a green eyed Irishman, none will know happiness.
SO the battle begins for Falgannon. Thank you, literary editor- people, for publishing a book that colors outside the lines.
I won't spoil the ending for you, but hang on, it is a wild ride.

It's hard to believe that The Invasion of Falgannon Isle is only the second release by this talented author. It not only shows her talent at writing romance, but writing romance in a number of genres as her first release, A Restless Knight, is a historical (breathtaking read).
In this contemporary romance, Ms. MacGillivray makes all her secondary characters as 3-dimensional as her main characters without taking away from our hero and heroine's story. The island itself is a character with life and breath and depth.
The love story between Barbara Anne (BA) Montgomerie and Desmond Mershan unfolds at a believable pace. The author shows two wounded souls - one afraid to love again and one afraid to love at all - trusting in themselves and one another enough to take the risk that is love.
Throw in a touch of magic, history and lore (Ms. MacGillivray's knowledge of all things Scottish and Gaelic is beyond excellent) and you have for one terrific love story. You don't just read the words on the page, you are transported to this Isle and into these people's lives.
While not a cat person per se, I could own Dudley! You just get the feeling he is the reincarnation of a wise, old soul.
So, book your ticket to Falgannon Isle - you will be given a warm welcome and a plate of delicious scones while you root for BA and Des!
