Celtic Fire Joy Nash 9780505526397 Books

Interesting historical novel set in the context of time when Rome was attempting to conquer Britain. Good interaction and references related to the cultural differences. Plot fairly interesting. Typical outcome where the couple's love sustains and they stay together despite the diversity. Sp some of the plot had the expected outcome. Overall enjoyed the book. Not sure the book was able to provide the depth of difficulty that must have occurred trying to bring Roman technology to the Celtic civilization which was not modernized at all. Character development was able to allude to this. Also enjoyed the interaction between the characters.

Celtic Fire Joy Nash 9780505526397 Books Reviews

This was a hard book to get into. There was far to many characters and references to different cultures at the beginning of the book. It wasn't until the second half the book that I started to enjoy the read. A few steamy love scenes and then the romance happened.
It is an interesting plot that is somewhat predictible to begin with but with some surprises near the end. A great deal of descriptive sex in the story.
This is one of my favorite series of books! I've read them several times! The first time around, I was amazed at how the story turned, it was a happy surprise to find out the identity of certain key characters.
It's okay for light reading. I'm currently on book 3 and the series is turning out pretty good. Book 2, for me, was better than book 1. We'll see how book 3 goes. The series does continue on seamlessly without a lot of retelling.
It's a pleasure to find a story that's well told, with characters and action that support the tale as it unfolds. This is the first book I've read by Joy Nash; I expect it won't be my last.
I wasn't until I was 50% through the book that it finally got interesting. I kept reading, because most of the reviews were so positive. I truly had to force myself to keep plugging through, but in the end was glad I did. It became very suspenseful, intriguing, with many twists. There are many powerful sex scenes, so be warned. Just remember, I didn't care for it until mid way through. Of course, on the positive note, it was only $.99. (ljb)
STORY BRIEF
The Romans are occupying Northern Britannia in 116 AD. There are numerous Celtic clans who are weak against the Romans because they fight among themselves. Rhiannon is a healer and the queen of one clan. In order to unite the clans, she chose a mate who later died. She plans to wed Edmyg, Britannia's greatest warrior, again to unite the clans. When the Celts attack a group of Romans, Rhiannon is captured by the current Roman commander Lucius. He is immediately drawn to her and keeps her in a bedroom near him instead of in the slave quarters. He wants her, but he won't force himself on her.

Lucius' brother Aulus was killed by the Celts six months earlier. His skull was kept by Madog, who was a Druid user of magic. Aulus' ghost is trapped due to Madog's magic. The ghost is always hanging around Lucius. Only Lucius can see him. Lucius wants to solve the mystery of Aulus' death and free the ghost. Rhiannon knows something but won't tell Lucius.

REVIEWER'S OPINION
I haven't seen that many historical novels about the Celts and the Romans, so it was a nice change of pace. Other than the Celtic setting, I found this pretty standard. The plot, events, characters, and dialogue were ok, but there wasn't anything special or different enough to make it stand out. The ghost and magic added a small amount of fantasy to the story, but they were a minor part of the story.

OTHER BOOKS
To date, I've read one other story by Joy Nash. I gave 4 stars to "Christmas Unplugged," copyright 2009, which appears in the anthology "Santa, Honey." My 4 star review for the anthology was posted on 10-4-09.

CAUTION SPOILER
I did not like one part. Rhiannon and Lucius are in love. On page 253 she is aware that his men plan to mutiny with a plan to kill him. Yet she does not warn him. Her reason is that he would ask her how she knew this. She would have to tell him that a particular Celt in his fort was a spy. She chose to protect the spy instead of the man she loved? She would send him to his death? I think Rhiannon could have come up with a way to warn Lucius without giving away the spy's identity.
