Mae Clair's excellent debut novel is a must read!!
All the reviewers praising Weathering Rock are right--this book is wonderful and engaging, and the author, Mae Clair, is an extraordinary wordsmith! How clever of Ms. Clair to so seamlessly weave together a story for paranormal lovers, fans of historicals (and/or the Civil War), time travel junkies, and contemporary romance readers. Her honor-driven hero Caleb DeCardian, cursed to turn into beast when the moon is full, is easy to fall in love wit...more

The description in the first page of this book swept me away. It was luscious and haunting and gorgeous. Mae Clair certainly has a keen sense of beauty and mood in her descriptions, but that would not have carried me through the whole book. What propelled me through were the characters.
Caleb DeCardian is a werewolf and Civil War officer hurtled through time by an unexpected burst of ball lightning. (First off, ball lightning, very cool.) He is an honorable man, my favorite type of romantic hero,...more

If you like old-fashioned gentlemanly manners in a hot guy who just happens to turn into a werewolf once in a while, you will LIKE this book! Add in a little time travel, romance, action, history, a beautiful school teacher, a rich town playboy with a secret past, a love story or two, murder, and a villainous alpha werewolf and you will LOVE this book!

Beautifully Written
The words in this book roll off the tongue like poetry. Clair knows how to write setting (the writing is exquisite). As for the romantic hero, if you have a weakness for Southern, old style gentility mixed with the heady sensuality of a werewolf, you’ll like Caleb. I sped through this book, finding it very enjoyable, though the time travel elements did boggle my mind, so I tried not to think about that too much.

I absolutely LOVED this book! Mae Clair is a wonderful writer. Her description of the scenery and characters brought to live the story in such vivid detail I could not stop reading. The characters in Weathering Rock were well developed and felt real. Clair's writing allowed me to feel an emotional connection to each character. The emotional connection is what makes a good book, an exceptional book. Of course, Weathering Rock is an exceptional read.

Mae Clair has woven a story with the elements I love: paranormal, romance and mystery. She has even included that old werewolf classic!!
Arianna, the schoolmarm has given up on the idea of Mr. Right but some really intriguing guy enters her life quite strangely....some freak accident slams them together, literally!

Mae Clair/ Weathering Rock
Arianna Hart has given up on finding true love until she runs Caleb DeCardin off the road. Really, who in their right mind goes horse back riding in the middle of the night? This odd behavior is only one of many of Caleb’s fine attributes. He claims to be a Colonel and despite his age, he has an air about him that only comes from being in charge. He knows all there is about the civil war and retells battle stories as if he was there on the field.

This book has it all. Contemporary romance, historical fiction, time travel, werewolves… What more could you possible want! It’s this glorious combination that Mae Clair combines to tell a fascinating tale. I was hooked from page one and fell in love with all of the characters (well, except for that one dirt bag). Not only did Mrs. Clair enrapture me in this story, but I fell in love with the history and the civility of Mr. DeCardian. Men from his era were full of honor, pride, and chivalry, whi...more
What happens on a stormy night when a current day school teacher hits a soldier on horse back from the 1800's with her car? Why, an adventure, of course!
In Mae Clair's debut novel, she introduces us to Arianna Hart, a school teacher with a passion for history, and Caleb DeCardian, gorgeous werewolf soldier from the Civil War era. Though Caleb is embroiled in a dangerously fatal cat and mouse game with a nemesis who time travelled into the future with him, he's drawn to Arianna. He knows he shou...more

I haven't read much paranormal romances lately, but Weathering Rock made me rethink my reading choices. Weathering Rock started out fast and kept going. I enjoyed the characters and I bought into the whole time travel aspect of the story. The author had a few twists that surprised me but made total sense. What really surprised me was how much I enjoyed this paranormal romance and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys romance, or just a good story with a twist.

This was such a romantic story. I loved Caleb, the courtly Civil War colonel who traveled in time to the current century, where he meets the love of his life. I enjoyed every minute of his courtship of Arianna, as well as his confusion over how thoroughly modern women behave!
However, my favorite scenes were those with Caleb and his father. They were both time travelers at different points in time, and the scenes when they interact in the present time were incredibly poignant. I got misty-eyed re...more

Oh my heaven, I LOVED this enchanting story concerning handsome Werewolves, the civil war and time travel. I could give you a synopsis...but I won't! Just dive in and read it like I did! But be forewarned...you're going to fall in love with Caleb DeCardian. Enough said. Did I mention Caleb DeCardian?
Sweet & Romantic
History comes alive for middle-school teacher Arrianna Hart when a Civil War colonel crashes into her life (literally). Mae Clair ties together elements of time-travel, shifter curses, and a plotting villain with the tidy, satisfying bow of a happily-ever-after.
Weathering Rock is a great book for history lovers, romance addicts, shifter fans, and anyone looking for a few hours of escape.

Simply Amazing! This book held me prisoner from beginning to end. Mae Clair weaves a fantastic story filled with intricate plots and subplots luring us into a world filled with both the paranormal and time travel. The characters were deliciously written, bringing you so deep into their world, it was hard to come out. Loved it and can't wait for more!

Very sweet and romantic. Terrific characters that felt like people I could know in real life and cared about, and well written story. It drew me in, chapter by chapter, revealing everything slowly, while at the same time investing me more and more in these people's lives. Absolutely loved it.

Myth, Mystery and Romance.

Her father, an artist who tinkered with writing, encouraged her to create make-believe worlds by spinning tales of far-off places on summer nights beneath the stars. She snagged the tail of a comet, hitched a ride, and discovered her writer’s Muse on the journey.
