Customer Reviews

I loved this book!

Celtic Fire is set in 116 AD in Roman Britain, where Nash creates a tale of a Roman warrior, Lucius, and the Celtic Queen, Rhiannon, that's pure seduction and intrigue. I couldn't put the book down because I loved both of the characters so much. It's no wonder she's a National Best Selling author! Her books are real keepers!

very compelling Roman Britain saga

Celtic Fire is a refreshing change of pace from the normal historical periods you often see. Set in 116 AD in Roman Britain, Nash skillfully weaves a tale of a Roman warrior, Lucius, and the Celtic Queen, Rhiannon, and conjures a Paranormal Historical that hits target. Lucius comes to learn about the death of his brother, but finds love with the slave Rhiannon. The conflict between the conquering race and the Celts, the fact Lucius blames the Celts for his brother's death, provides a strong conflict to counter balance the leads instant attraction. The characters are vivid, the story compelling, and written by an author with a love for her subject. Nash's debut book strikes a note that says she is here to stay.

Great read!

Great story, well written. It's refreshing to read a historical set in a time period other than the 1700-1800's. I was caught up in the story of Lucius and Rhiannon from the first page, and the brother's ghost, while not a major paranormal element, is integral to the story and adds a humorous touch. I only hope there's a sequel coming!

Wow!!

Lucius is a Roman army commander who comes to Brittania to investigate his brother's fate. He strongly suspects his brother has been killed by the Celts, because he sees his ghost everywhere. Rhiannon is the descendent of a Celtic queen who witnessed the death of Lucius's brother at the hand of a Druid priest. When Lucius captures her, he realizes that only when he's in Rhiannon's presence does his brother's ghost leave him alone. Full of magic, suspense and a scorching love story, this book had me from the first page. I absolutely loved it, and can't wait for more by Joy Nash.

ancient times paranormal fantasy romance

In 116 AD Northern Britannia, Celtic Queen Rhiannon detests killing the Roman wolf, but knows she has no choice. Magdog the Druid master deemed that the foreign military commander must be sacrificed to satiate the Horned God Kernunnos in the Rite of the Old Ones. One year later in Assyria, the specter Aulus Aquila visits his brother Lucius pleading with him to come to Britannia to rescue him from a fate worse than death. Lucius believes his sibling somehow lives so he becomes the Roman Commander at Britannia to learn the truth about Aulus. To his chagrin he is distracted in his quest by one of his prisoners Rhiannon, who knows that the soul of his brother is trapped within the stones. As they fall in love, the Celtic Queen realizes she must escape to thwart Magdog from binding another Roman Commander to the Horned God's stones. This ancient times paranormal fantasy romance is a terrific tale that employs otherworldly elements and a deep historical base to provide readers with an entertaining star-crossed lovers novel. Rhiannon is a courageous individual risking more than just her life to keep her beloved safe; Lucius is her fine partner if they can triumph over their guard-prisoner and Roman-Celtic differences and defeat Magdog. In many ways the villain makes the thriller brisk and entertaining as he brings to the plot wizardry fantasy components that on top of the forbidden love lead to fans cherishing the CELTIC FIRE that flows between the lead couple.
