Dark Diva's Review

Celtic Enchantment Book One: Celtic Sacrifice by Sheryl Brennan

Celtic Enchantment Book One: Celtic Sacrifice by Sheryl Brennan
Publisher: Underdog Press
Genre: Historical Romance

Summary: “Do you know how to make the gods laugh, Ceana? Tell them of your plans….”When members of the O’Connor clan come to claim Ceana O’Hagan on her eighteenth birthday, she believes her destiny is clear: to marry Cian O’Connor, become a druid priestess, and restore the mystic powers of a long-lost ancestor.But the path becomes muddy when a mysterious stranger captures Ceana’s heart, setting an alternate course of events into motion. Dangling within the chasms of religion, duty, and newly discovered emotions, will Ceana’s desire to fulfill her tribal obligations force her to give up the love of Cian, her country, and her culture, or will she refuse to become the Celtic Sacrifice the English Crown demands?

My Review: I am a huge fan of Celtic history and when it's weaved with romance, all the better! Reading Sheryl Brennan's debut historical romance, Celtic Sacrifice was a real treat for me.The book started with a fabulous dramatically packed opening hook, which kept me reading until the very end. Weaved into the story is the underlying premise that a higher power guides our steps. I am also a believer of that philosophy, and I truly enjoyed how Ms. Brennan had that playing throughout Ceana's story.

Whenever I read a book that shows the growth of a character, and has an underlying theme, I find that I am more engrossed in the story and the characters. Ms. Brennan has done a great job of drawing me in. This book is part of a series, and I am looking forward to reading Celtic Hope.

Rated 4 Delightful Divas by Eliza!
