Being the first time reading this author I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the story presented. This collection of mini-stories is highly intriguing.

I really enjoyed this set. Good world-building and interesting characters. I know very little about Celtic mythology, and these were the first Celtic mythological romance stories I've read, but mythology from different cultures has always fascinated me, so I was excited to pick it up. This set contains all five books in this series. Each features a different god who can shapeshift into an animal- wolf, dragon, bear, unicorn, and lynx. Each story individually was short- between 55 and 80 pages- so they were fun, steamy quick reads. This set includes:
The Wolf and the Druidess
The Dragon and the Druidess
The Bear and the Druidess
The Unicorn and the Druidess
The Lynx and the Druidess
