This book is not my normal reading but I was interested in reading this book after I read the blurb.

Yes, I saw all of the negative comments about this book but I still felt like it deserved a chance. It seemed that someone needed to give this book a positive review and I felt that I could do that. No matter what all books will have, some type of grammar or spelling error no book is perfect. No Matter how many time sit is edited. Why? Because everyone is, human and humans make mistakes whether it is an author or an editor. Maybe it is me but I can and will over look most grammar/spelling errors. Why you ask? It is because that is just part of reading. To me the errors make the book more human, more real, and more lifelike.

Now for my review. I honestly loved this book. I did not want to put this book down. I was draw to the characters Darina & Patrick. This book had some amazing research completed by the author. I will admit that I do not know a lot about Irish folklore but this book had a lot in it. To me that is what made this book so interesting, so hard to put down.

The book starts out in the year 1457 at McCahan Castle with Patrick working at a blacksmith. Patrick is the eldest son of the Laird. Patrick is called away from his work for an important message. It is a message that he does not want nor does he understand.

Darina knows about the message that Patrick is going to get from his father, but it is a message that she does not want herself. She cannot understand why her father has done this to her or why she has to do this

This is more than just a love story. It is a story that will connect the reader through time. This story has well-developed characters, an amazing plot and is well written with no grammar or editing errors that I found or noticed.

I felt drawn to Patrick and Darina. I wanted to keep reading to find out what happens next. This is the first book of the Celtic Steel series. If the title for the series is, appropriate.

While reading this book I felt pulled back to the 14th century. Drawn to the amazing characters especially Darina. She is a strong female character. I cannot wait to read the second book in this series.

The bunnies and I give this book 4-Carrots.… (plus d'informations)

AUTHOR: "CELTIC SKIES", book (3) of the Celtic Steel series is written with a Irish/Fantasy/Paranormal twist. Just when you think you have one situation down, Delaney creates another weave into the plot. Trust me, never a dull moment...never.

GENRE: Historical romance, Fantasy romance, Paranormal romance

SETTING: Irish clans, 15th century, O'Malley Lands in Western Ireland

CENTRAL FEMALE CHARACTERS: Daenal O'Malley is the third of five daughters with a talent in the kitchen. She is the most exotic looking of her sisters and yet believes she will never be married. Men seem to avoid her.

CENTRAL MALE CHARACTER: Jamie Burke, so it is told, is the younger brother of Odetta. Having been blind since birth he can see the glow emanating from all living things. He has been raised by the McTierney clan and has warrior skills beyond compare.

SYNOPSIS: One man is not who he appears. The Burke clan has been forced to flee. They have all been given refuge by other clans; except for one woman. Ships are missing, Selkies do exist and babies are due. A woman's ability to heal and the truth about one man's heritage is revealed. Romantic passion continues in the life of the clan leader and his wife. A friend or perhaps a foe has come upon the (3) Dragonians.

SEXUAL EXPLICITNESS: Measured from Inspirational romance (not explicit) to Erotica (hot, steamy and sizzling).
Level of romantically and passionately “tastefulness”. (Quote from this book) “Tenderly, he turned her over on her knees before resuming his gentle thrusts. Running his fingers through the golden-red mane, he wrapped it around his wrist and pulled it to the side, to afford himself a better view of their coupling."

WHAT I LIKED: As with the previous two books in this series, events and things keep popping up that I never expected. Keeps me on the "what's next" edge. Don't read the ending because you will love it too much.

WHAT I DID NOT LIKE: Delaney....where in the hell is book (4). I'm dying !!!

I give this book (5) stars because while I continue to get past the many character's names, the plot cannot be better. So many different threads coming together to make one fantastic romance fantasy paranormal fiction book. Really it is good… (plus d'informations)

I read this book as it was the selection from my Kindle Shelf post. In the beginning, I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it or not. It seemed like a lot was going on and I was getting confused. However, I persevered and I am glad that I did. As the pieces slowly came together, I was intrigued and wanted to keep reading. It was a quick read after that.

There are a lot of things that were going on that I don’t want to give away, but were the best part of the book. I guess what I can say is that as you read, don’t get discouraged with all that is going on. The pieces of the puzzle are not as cleanly put together and so getting through the rough areas can be tough.

I did like Patrick and Darina, the main characters. Patrick holds a lot of secrets and some he did not know himself. However, Darina’s people also hold a lot of secrets as well, and as these are revealed this is when the story comes alive. The author has created some great characters besides Patrick and Darina, the two young boys grabbed my heart strings.

I loved the paranormal action going on. This is what I think the other books are hinged on. This book definitely leaves you hanging. Several things have not been resolved, in fact several avenues are left unfulfilled. I am intrigued enough to want to continue on with the series.

What to Read Next?

If you enjoyed this but want less confusion, try Julie Garwood’s The Secret. Definitely very similar in feel.… (plus d'informations)
