** Book Review- Lady of the Loch (The Fae-Touched Chronicles# 3) by [Jennifer Sanders, Christen Stovall]

    

Set in Victorian-era Scotland, this book is a romantic adventure with with a magical touch!
Raised to view the world through science, she is surrounded by magic she cannot see.
Orphaned Charlotte “Charlie” Whitfield has been raised by her eccentric uncle on the shores of Scotland’s most famous loch, hunting for scientific evidence of the beast that lives within. But there’s more than one monster on the loose, and when Charlie’s uncle goes missing, she must open her eyes to the truth of what’s around her—lest she be taken too.
He has dedicated his life to queen and country—but has he found something else to live for?
Special agent Asher Burton is on assignment to find the missing scientist, but the circumstances are far more than he bargained for: portals to other realms, a mysterious creature in the waters of Loch Ness, and a deadly Fae unleashed. Asher must pit his wits and will against absolute magic to bring his quarry home—and to protect the remarkable Charlie Whitfield.
In a place where nothing is quite what it seems, can Asher and Charlie unravel the mystery in time—or will they fall victim to the menace that threatens to devour them all?

I have been reading this series and enjoying each book.  I liked this one too however not as much as the ones before. Both Charlie and Asher were good main characters.  And the story had a good foundation however, it didn't pull me in quite as much as I would have liked.  I think for me it might have been too much time spent with the science and mentions of The Bard. 

On the up side there were good moments in the story too.  Charlie's Uncle Elias really fit the image of an absentminded professor to a "T". He loved his niece but also got lost when he entered his world of research.  Mrs. Lorna Alvin was a nice addition to the story in the few times she showed up.

There were some sweet times between Charlie and Asher was well as some wild times. As expected dangers do show up from supernatural sources. But there is at least one supernatural help that I really liked.

Everything is taken care of with and explosion of evil vs good leading to a H.E.A. There is  also an intriguing look into Quinn and his story coming up in a future book.  Now that one sounds interesting.
