Witches. Changelings. Faeries. Oh my.
The first thing I noticed about Harper's writing was that it was smooth and vivid.
Characters are believable. You fell in love with them, and they pissed you off. Plot was easy to follow.
She pretty much cranked "Descriptions" up to maximum, then gave it more.
You could feel the passion and emotion fighting through the pages. The romance. The mystery. The suspense.
I would've preferred less relationship, more mystery and suspense, but there was a good balance.

First, let me start off by saying that the cover alone drew me to this book. I mean it’s absolutely gorgeous. Second, I’d like to say that Dani Harper is one of the most talented paranormal authors I’ve had the chance to come across. I’ve not read the first two books in the Changeling series, but I will most definitely be going back and adding them to my wishlist. Her ability to take the paranormal and create it in a way that is absolutely life-like is beautifully stunning!

Being a fan of paranormal romance, especially werewolf novels, I like to try new experiences in the paranormal realm. In Changeling Dawn we get so much out of this story that it takes the reader along time to just sit and reflect on how awesome this novel was. Kenzie, a beautiful archaeologist,a changeling wolf, and very much a loner, is instantly gripping. She reaches out to the reader and pulls them into the story to walk beside her. The reader becomes Kenzie and experiences the adventure through her eyes. Kenzie’s on her way to a dig in Alaska when she comes across the very handsome Josh, a wildlife expert.

Josh is a man who has experienced so much in life. A life of war and pain, he’s now a wildlife expert and has come across a precious little girl, one he knows needs help. One who is very much like the gorgeous changeling woman he’s come across.

As Josh enlists the help of Kenzie to save this sweet little girl, the passion between them can’t be denied. The attraction is more than strong and it’s up to them to bury their past and pain and help a child overcome her fear.

Most definitely the best paranormal romance novel I’ve read to date. I can honestly say that I am blown away with this novel! Rose That Rules All can’t possibly come close to the true rating this novel deserves. While the third and final book in this series, Ms. Harper does a fanatical job at keeping the reader up to date with the series, and it could easily be read as a standalone. Well done, Ms. Harper! Bring on the next!

Favorite Quote:“Okay, okay, you win. One—just one—date. But that’s all.” She didn’t look at Josh, just stalked off toward the nearest exit. “Do you get all your dates by blackmail?”

“Nope,” he said cheerily as he easily kept pace with her. “Only the ones that matter.”

This is the third book in the Macleod Changeling series. It can be read on it's own as a stand-alone. However, I suggest you get the first two books, Changeling Moon and Changeling Dream because they all rock. This one rocks as well, and I swear Dani has me as a fan. I just want to know if she might have a secret knowledge of these changelings and could she introduce me to one... especially if it is a Macleod? ;)

Well let me start by saying this is not normally a book I would read. In fact this is the first werewolf book I have ever picked up. I don’t know why but I just don’t do werewolf books. However, I was glad I did read this book. I actually enjoyed it. Both the main characters and sub ones had interesting roles in this book.

I liked that this book was more in a mystery kind of way rather than a love story, yes the romance was there but done with a bit of a spin. The main focus was on the mystery a...more

All her sibling have always pestered her about her love of solitude, but the pestering became more imposing once her two oldest brothers found there true mates. They are now so happy, and Kenzie is happy for them, but she knew this is not the life she had planned for herself. She needed to finish her research. Kenzie was researching the history of Changelings; she wanted to prove that they were not so different from humans. She was always in fear the days of being hunted would return. She still had nightmares about when she was a little girl and hunters chased her into the forest, and because of that fear she vowed to never have close relationships with humans. Well that was till she met one human in particular, Josh Talarkoteen was something different, she couldn’t help herself something about him brought out her inner wolf and made her want things that was never in her plans.

Josh was never looking for love but it drove right into his life literally. When Kenzie Macleod came barreling into his town he knew he found the one. She was strong willed, sassy and sexy to boot. He knew she was a shifter right away, his native people have always lived with and around shape shifters so he knew one when he seen one. But in wasn’t till they found the young cub that was actually a changeling little girl that Kenzie knew that he already knew her secrete. Josh could tell that Kenzie had a hard time trusting humans but if he had his way he will show her she can trust him, because he didn’t plan on letting this one walk away.

Someone is hunting the little girl and Josh and Kenzie must protect her and try and help find her parents if they can. The whole story is nonstop from page one, it sucks you in and you can’t wait to turn the page to see what will happen next. I felt there wasn’t as much heat in this book as the other two, but Josh and Kenzie were still really good together. Kenzie has a few issues to work though so that she can allow herself a relationship with Josh, but it’s well worth it in the end for her. Josh loved her since the moment he seen her and is determined to get her to see that if she is willing, she can love him too. Josh also has a few issues with some flash backs of the war but if he just lets go and sees it as a gift rather than a nuisance he might find the help he needs to save the day.

I enjoyed this third addition to the Changeling series but I still say the second book is my favorite in this series I still love James, but I am very excited to see the twins get books it looks like one may just be next. If you haven’t checked out Dani’s Changeling series yet you may want to add to the TBR pile I know you have. This series is quick no nonsense read, you can fly though a book very quickly.

Kenzie Macleod is a Changeling. It is all she has ever known. During her long life, she has lived in fear though. As a child she had a life altering event and to this day, it still forms her life, love and dreams.

Josh Talarkoteen has been to war and back. He survived an awful tragedy in Afghanistan, but returned to the states a broken man. Though years have passed and the memories have seemed to subside, he is still not over the pain.

A scared and abandoned little girl forces their buried memories to resurface. They must work through their pasts to help Anya and possibly each other. They will do everything in their power to protect Anya, even die for her.

Ummm WOW!!! Each of the novels in this series has been unique and Changeling Dawn is simply great. They all can be read alone, but why do that when you can enjoy the other two in the series too? As a whole the series is a breath of fresh air; they almost have a calming effect for me. There is action, love, sex and history, but there is much more to these books. They are well thought out and the characters are personable. Nothing is too over the top, just well written stories with heart.

Changeling Dawn tells the story of the remaining unmated daughter of the Macleod clan. She is a strong woman and very independent. From the moment she meets Josh she knows there is heat between them, but she refuses to have a relationship with a human. This barrier plagues them through the book and I have to give it to Josh and his tenacity while pursuing her.

Josh is a wonderful match for Kenzie and I loved his personality and determination. You could see the strength in him, but he was never a pushy alpha like some heroes in romance novels. He was not afraid to put himself out there for her or even Anya. He is definitely a man of great worth.

Ms. Harper really delivers with this story. The action was tense and the love scenes between Kenzie and Josh were sweet. I also enjoyed that we learned a bit more about Changelings. She has done a wonderful job with the world building in this series. I give two thumbs way up for this book and I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for the twins’ stories. These two men are going to need some feisty women to tame them and I can’t wait.(less)

This is a review of an ARC sent to me by Kensington Publishing that according to the front cover is due to be released January 2012.

In Changeling Dawn, Dani Harper weaves a story line about some paranormal creatures she calls changelings or werewolves.

This is not your everyday werewolf story line. Changeling Dawn has romance, kidnapping, and murder...along with some mystery and intrigue.

The story opens with a very young Kenzie Macleod running for her life away of some hunters when all of a sudde...more

book 3 in the werewolf or Changeling series. I wasn't sure if I would like this because book 2 wasn't as good as the first. But I did. Anthropoligist Kenzie is in Alaska on a dig. She meets a native whose clan can recognize auras. This had an enough plot twists and character development to redeem my opinion of the series. Not 5 stars because the sex scenes contain the same phrase in each of the 3 books- using the word tailbone. After 3 repetitions it loses its effectiveness. Also the point of vi...more

The Changeling series by Ms. Harper is starting to come close to a perfect PNR series for me. I adore the simplicity of the world, the family atmosphere, and the storylines on each book are always interesting. This mixed in with just the right characters, always likeable, and you have a hit!

Changeling Dawn was no different. In continuing to follow the Macleod family, this time is Kenzie's turn. Due to being hunted when she was a child she's always had a distrust of humans. Always preferring to associate with her own kind. But she has made it her life mission to study humans. She is now looking for proof that maybe humans and shifters are not so different because she knows one day, maybe soon, they will have to come out.

When she goes off on her own to research a remote archeological site, she finds more than she expected. Not only does she find her mate, who just happens to be the most adorable and hot human you'll ever come across, but she finds an orphan shifter, still in wolf form.

Something obviously happened to the little girl and she has to figure it out.

Did I already mention how much I love the characters? Well Kenzie is no exception. She's tough and independent. Set in her ways. But at the same time she has such a good heart and sometimes follows her heart, and maybe other parts of her anatomy, and shuts off her brain. I liked that about her. She didn't necessarily fight her attraction to Josh as much as I was expecting.

Now let me tell you about Josh. Puuurrrrrr. He is funny, smart, a man of many talents, animal lover, human but with a special ability. He can see the auras of shifters and recognize them as such. And shifter or not, when he sees Kenzie he's in love.

Together they try to help the little shifter and uncover a bigger scheme. An organization that has known of the existence of shifters and has been kidnapping them for experiments. Now is up to them to try and stop them.

This series is a must buy! There's romance, there's intrigue and some action. A wonderful world and a wonderful set of characters. You won't want to miss it! (less)

I loved Kenzie and have been dying to hear from the youngest Macleod but I have to say Josh stole the show for me! More power to Kenzie resisting him as long as she did! I wouldn't have been able to resist him for a second! I laughed so much at his continuing to ask her out, not taking no for an answer and threatening to call her brother Connor! Loved how he eventually blackmailed her into a date and his reasons for why she couldn't say no! He did win me over completely. He did have his ghosts as well though, from his time spent as a pilot in the Afghanistan war. I wonder about what abilities he has and if he can do more then he realises, not as much as Birkie but more then he thinks. The vision of the little girl seemed to give him warnings and help him, makes me wonder if he could expand his abilities further.
I love what Kenzie is trying to accomplish and hope she's eventually successful in finding what she's looking for. Loved getting the update on her sibling's as well, espeacially Connor! I was glad when her brothers approved of Josh and that with his help Kenzie seems to have worked through a lot of her issues from when she was a child in Scotland. So many times I wanted to slap her in the book for being so stubborn about not being with Josh just cause he was human! I'm glad she got sense by the end! I also seen an opening for Devlin's book to be next and wonder if events from Kenzie's book will spill over into his?
The other stars of the book were Anya and Stanton, I liked Stanton alot, he was a grumpy old changeling but with a big heart! I found myself wishing he'd move to Dunvegan to work with Connor so we wouldn't have to lose his character in the next couple of books! He was pretty awesome and Birkie did give an extra glance when she seen him! I felt so bad for Anya, she was really confused over what to do, who to trust and how much to trust throughout the book. She suffered more then any child should but she also really brought Josh and Kenzie together as well. I'm glad we're not gonna lose her character in the future books.
This is the first book that takes place primarily outside of Dunvegan as it's Kenzie's book and she's an archeologist so often works far afield, in this case Alaska. Though I missed easy access to the rest of the Macleod sibling's I enjoyed the storyline alot, espeacially the fact that as Kenzie's trauma is related to her childhood, we learnt a little more about the Macleod family's origin's and past. We also learnt a little more about the oldest sister Carla as well through Kenzie's thoughts/memories. A great addition to the series and I can't wait for the next one!(less)

Fans of the Macloed series will be glad to know the series is still going strong with the next incredible installment.

Kenzie Macleod knows the importance of family, but she also knows the value of working alone. That's why despite her ever growing family, she is heading to Alaska to start her next archaeological dig on her own. On the way, she meets Fish and Game office Josh Talarkoteen. Kenzie is doing her best to not be distracted by the gorgeous man, mainly because she wants nothing to do with a human. Kenzie is a Changeling, an entity that can switch from human to wolf form in a matter of moments. She doesn't see any future with a human despite her growing feelings towards him. Yet, Josh won't give up so easily. He knows what Kenzie is and doesn't feel such a minor thing should come between them. When they both discover a young changeling child on her own, the search is on to find her family. While it may bring Josh and Kenzie closer together, it will also bring them closer to danger.

CHANGELING DAWN does take some time to pick up. The novel starts out somewhat slow and takes a while to get to the point. What really drove this point home for me is that a few times I felt there was some unnecessary detail, which would sometimes bog down the story. I also had a little difficulty getting up to speed with the family and premise of the series since I haven't read the previous installments. As the book progressed, it easily came together to make a great novel, but some readers might find it advantageous to read the first novels in the series before continuing with CHANGELING DAWN.

Kenzie was a difficult character to warm up to. Her character was awfully stubborn and really she has little excitement for life. By the end of the novel you come to appreciate the growth of her dark sided character, but again, it did take some time to become accustom to. Her romance with Josh really starts off one-sided because she is completely closed off to new relationships. Yet if there was one person who could turn that around, it would be her leading man, Josh. He was really rather charming and a fun character. He's the kind of contemporary hero that tries his best to be the macho guy, even though his heroine is a super human chick. You couldn't help but love his thoughtfulness and sweet nature. At the same time, there was an appealing aspect of his character that was intriguing because he was very determined and wouldn't give up on Kenzie without a fight.

CHANGELING DAWN certainly picks up in the middle of the novel. By then, Ms Harper has established a very interesting storyline with different plot points that affect a great cast of characters. What readers can really appreciate is the back story and emotional depth Ms Harper gives her characters. It may not be obvious at first glance, by these characters have strong inner demons to battle and that complexity is a great addition to the journey in CHANGELING DAWN. It not only increases the drama of the story, but it adds much to the readers' attachment to the characters. It also has a quaint cast of secondary characters to keep you entertained. Most become an intricate part of the story, while others will be familiar to fans of the series.

It may have a few problems, but CHANGELING DAWN by Dani Harper is an exciting paranormal read. Not to forget the fact that it's a very sexy read too with lead characters that have stunning chemistry. Ms Harper has a established a great series that fans can easily become hooked on with intense characters and complex drama. It's apparent with the latest installment that the Macleod series is still going strong. Dani Harper has combined all the best elements to make an entertaining paranormal novel in CHANGELING DAWN.

The covers for her books really drew me to them and once I read the blurbs I was drawn in even farther. So I tried winning one of her books and when that didn't pan out I decided to email Dani, I wanted to read and review her books so bad. Talking to Dani is such a pleasure and right away she agreed to let me review for her. I received in the mail an autographed copy of Changeling Dawn, along with all the covers for the three books and postcards for her books as well. Oh what a happy day that was, they are even more beautiful up close. I started reading and just could not put this book down, it only took me 2 days to read it.

I am so happy I found Dani Harper, not only are her books amazing, but so is she. Dani is such a lovely lady to speak with, so nice, so kind and I just really enjoyed talking with her and once I found out that her love of Paranormal Romance started with one of my favorite Authors Christine Feehan I was just amazed, I don't often hear people talking about her so that was just awesome to share that common favorite author.

This is a series but it doesn't matter which book you start with they can be read as stand alone's, I started with Changeling Dawn. As the MacLeod family is introduced, Kenzie is the youngest, an Archaeologist and Anthropologist and Kenzie is used to working alone, she likes to work alone, but her family starts giving her a hard time about her love life and being alone so much. While on her way to her new dig site, Kenzie stops to help a guy with a blown tire on the side of the road. Josh, oh I like Josh, doesn't take no for an answer, strong, handsome...nope just pure sexy, now Josh is not a Changeling but he can tell who is one, Josh gets that talent from his own Native people, his spark with Kenzie is one he just can't seem to resist. Neither Josh nor Kenzie were looking for love and it was such a wonderful love story to watch bloom, to watch them both fight it.

Kenzie comes to find a Changeling cub and calls in Josh to help her find and keep the little cub safe. Something terrible happened to the little cub and she refused to trust either one of them. This was such an amazing story to read, it was a different perspective of the werewolf I normally read, this story is pack full of action, a love story, family sticking together and against all odds putting themselves in the worst danger possible to say the family and others who needed rescuing. I love Dani's writing style, the story flows seamlessly, the characters built into this family you just don't want to stop reading about, their friends that are so true to the MacLeod. I had so many favorite characters in this book it's hard for me to pick just one, Anya the little cub is just a little darling you just want to cuddle her, Birkie, she is so funny but I am interested to see what exactally Birkie is, she is not a werewolf but has special gifts and talents but does not reveal what she is just yet. Josh and Kenzie, her sister and brothers, its just a cast that fits so perfect together. You just fall in love with these characters, well except the bad guys, but even the one bad girl you will like her, read the book you will see what I mean, I can't tell you or I'll ruin it.

If you want a great book to read with action, a beautiful love story, a fantastic set of characters you will fall in love with, then this is the book for you to pick up. I can't thank Dani enough for allowing me to read and review for her, I can't wait until I get the other two books so I can continue my journey with this wonderful family. Thank you again Dani for doing this with me I have had so much fun and I look forward to working with you again!! I hope you all will grab your copy and enjoy it as much as I did!!!! Enjoy everyone!!!(less)

Changeling Dawn is filled with so much passion, mystery, action and some heart ache (it even made me cry). It is so far the best in the series. Dani Harper brings so much passion into these characters and they seem so real. Kenzie and Josh have amazing chemistry that grabs your attention as soon as they meet.

I read this in 2 sittings, and I can not wait to read more from Dani. She brings something out in her writing and I can not even explain it. I am hoping one of the twins books will be next!...more

Dani takes you in depth with her story and characters. As I started reading I found I couldn’t put it down, I just had to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next. What I liked best was the little girl Anya and how Dani tied her with the hero and heroine Josh and Kenzie. It was fantastic. The villains have the perfect roll to give this book the action it needed. Dani has created a world that will keep growing with characters. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next to read....more

I though I’d prepare my review a little differently this time around. Instead of presenting a detailed overview (which may inadvertently reveal some spoilers), I though perhaps it might be neat to talk about the impression one of the leading characters left with me. Hopefully, through this impression, I will be able to share with you the latest masterpiece in an amazing series written by an author who has quickly risen to the topmost tier of my “Authors to watch for” list!

Shelves: kindle-books, 2012-favourites

I'm devastated that I've finished this book!!!!! Dani Harper enticed me to read her books through presenting her stories within eye catching covers! Yes the covers got me first... I love wolves and the synopsis to the first book definately had me placing the 3 books on my to read pile...

Eventually I read the first book and truly loved the way Dani smoothly writes her readers into another world... I was engrossed... The second book grabbed me even more, I had loved Connor and Zoey from book 1 but...more

As you many of you should know (I talk about it nearly non-stop) this is my favorite adult paranormal series. Hands down. I am frequently told that people haven’t heard about it which is like the saddest thing ever cause it is pure writing gold.

The latest book in the series is about Kenzie, the first female changeling in the series. Kenzie has a past with humans and this past clouds her interactions with others. Especially males. This is the first book within the series that the actual age of th...more

Having never read this author before I was pleased to find I have another author to add to my 'gotta get' list. My daughter won this in a Goodreads Giveaway and passed it on to me. Needless to say, I will be picking up the previous 2 books and reading them. This book moved along rapidly without sacrificing anything. I loved the characters and can hardly wait to find out what Anya becomes as she grows up.

cant say enough about this series!! love it. this book was another great one, romance, adventure,laughs and some sadness all rolled into one...Kenzie is stubborn, Josh is determined and Anya is too cute! love how their relationship has its up and downs. gotta love James and Conners suttle hints about her love life. love the small twist in the end! "Patiently" waiting for the next book in the series to come out!

Another marvellous changeling book by Dani Harper. Kenzie is a marvellous character. Strong but with the strngly held distrust of humans which comes from a traumatic experience in childhood. Meeting Josh, a human, she allows her fear to push him away.

Great characters, story and concept. I loved this book and look forward to my next read from her.

Josh~ "Everything ok?"
Kenzie~ "My brother is just being brotherly again. Connor can't stand that I'm out here. I finally had to promise him that if a man dropped out of the sky, I'd date him."
Josh~ "Really? Bet you didn't count on meeting someone with a helicopter."
She opened her mouth and closed it again, momentarily stunned.

Kenzie~ "Okay, okay, you win. One-just one- date. But that's all." She didn't look at Josh, just stalked off toward the nearest exit. "Do you get all your dates by...more

Just finished this in two days and Christmas day was one of them. It's hot, suspensful and, at times, a tear jerker. The first two books in the series set my expectations for this book and Haper met them. I really enjoyed it. When does the next one come out? :)

this story was okay but it was a huge letdown after the other two... it wasnt nearly as good as those ones. The premise is similar but her distrust, while explained, kinda ruins the plot for me... I hope Devlin and Culley's stories come out!

Decent werewolf story, but loses points because I hate when a strong female protagonist turns into an idiot 2/3 of the way through a story. To be fair to the author, she did foreshadow Kenzie's idiocy so it wasn't completely out of left field.
