This review is from: Danger Is Sweet (Paperback)

DANGER IS SWEET is a story of one my favorite times in history; the Celtic era. Cornelia Amiri has obviously done her research into this subject before ever setting pen to paper, or fingers to keyboard, whichever the case may be. Every time I pick up one of Cornelia's books and begin reading, I learn something new about this period in history. Cornelia brings this period to life as we follow our hero and heroine through the beginning of their "forced" hand fasting. I really love the paranormal element woven throughout this story as we discover the secret Malcolm is holding close. This is a wonderful story and I highly recommend it to all lovers of anything Celtic." Reviewed by Chere at Paranormal Romance Reviews

Book Review- Danger is Sweet.
By: Cornelia Amiri

Motivated by revenge, a Pict Princess has come to kill the Scottish King, Kenneth McAlpin.

Bethoc believes her father and betrothed were murdered in McAlpin's treason, but she's unaware of what really happened that day. None the less, she sets out to avenge their deaths.

She didn't intend to get caught.

Instead of having her executed as was his right, the Scots King gives Bethoc to his cousin Malcolm as a reward for his loyal service.

Bethoc is determined not to marry any Scot, even if Malcolm is ruggedly handsome. She accepts her fate resigning herself to the fact that her only other option is death.

Is marrying a Scot, a fate worth than death?

But Malcolm has other plans. Skilled with a bow and sword, Malcolm deduces that Bethoc would be a help to him when he takes the `Stone of Destiny' to Scone- the home of the Picts.

So they handfast.

Malcolm tells Bethoc not to fret because as soon as the year is over, he will be leaving Scone going back to `the world with no men and no women,' and she will be returned to her own people, free to wed whomever she chooses. But, Malcolm can't help admiring the fiery Princess, and she seems to be accepting him as well.

Their friendship turns to love. But it can never be - a secret- one that could destroy any bonds they may form, looms between them.

Can they overcome this obstacle? Because no Viking Warrior, or a calling to the sea could destroy their love.

Or could it?

You'll have to read to find out!

Ms. Amiri pens a story of true love, and the sacrifices people are willing to make to keep it!

I give this story *** stars!!!!
