Braving Fate (The Mythean Arcana, #1)

Braving Fate by Linsey Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What if your fate was to die? To recognize your strength and ability, save lives yet perish afterward. Could you walk that path? How about twice…?

Diana Laughton has the reincarnated soul of Boudica the Celtic Queen of the Iceni and as soon as she reclaims her other life memories the second path fate has bestowed upon her will be clear. But until that happens she is just Diana the University Professor with a knack for wielding a sword and a growing need for the Mythean Guardian Cadan.

Cadan is quite bitter after carrying two thousand years of guilt. He thought he knew love and Boudica… all that changed with Diana, she harbors the soul that calls to him but only she can show him what love truly is! Can he help Diana figure out who she is just to let her slip through his finger again? Can fate be that cruel? As a Mythean Cadan is honor bound to help Diana fulfill her destiny. As a man he will do all he can to hold on to her as long as possible.

I loved the intricate historical detail thrown into the book. It wasn’t a history lesson with some romance thrown in. Braving Fate had a Historical Romance feel, yet with a modern flair spun into it as well. Linsey Hall has a superb talent for weaving action, adventure and creativity into a steamy sensual romance. My all-time favorite part had to be when Cadan woke up tied to the bed and Diana planned on torturing him sexually for information….OMG !! The sexual intensity was hot, descriptive but most of all wonderfully thought out and didn’t over power the story line. The Mythean world LH created was yet another great paranormal place to delve. Her creative talent to blend myth with historical facts then stir in some paranormal fun topped off with a good dose of romance makes this series a must have! I am absolutely thrilled that the next 2 books are out already and I can submerge myself in all things Mythean. Totally on my favorite list!!!
