Review:

Whoa. I was really interested in reading The Beltane Choice, but I was not expecting to be so caught up in this story. I have been really into Historical fiction lately, and this novel is a fantastic reason why.

Taking place in the border area between England and Scotland, AD 71, it is impressive how much research Nancy Jardine must have done to make this feel so realistic. I love the world-building…Celtic Tribes and Roman legions…it is really beautifully written, I felt like I was transported back to this time period. It was captivating and I was on the edge of my seat the entire way through.

I love the heroine, Nara. Her journey is full of adventure, passion and danger. She is full of boldness and courage and I absolutely love that she has this secret, heavy burden that she’s carried her whole life. Behind all the bravery, she is vulnerable and that makes for a beautifully deep character. There is quite a heavy sexual tension between Nara and Lorcan which is really intriguing to read. You’re never quite sure how their story will play out.

I’m absolutely in love with this story. The historical authenticity weaved in with wonderful and interesting characters and a plot line that kept me immersed the entire time. Everything about this novel is fantastic and totally worth the 5 stars. Highly recommended!

Rating:

5/5☆
