One of my favourite things I love to read about is stories about Gods and Goddesses and even more the tales of their ancestors. In Goddess Born, it introduces us to the descendant of the Goddess Brigid. Set in PA , 1730 we meet Selah Kilbride, she is a direct descendant of the Goddess and holds the power to heal. Her father is ill and the only way to keep her family's secret hidden is to marry her cousin Samuel in an arranged marriage and she must do it fast before her father passes away. When Selah discovers her husband to be has died upon the ship, she finds herself in a major dilemma as if she doesn't return with a husband then she will be forced to marry the evil Nathan Crowley - one of the Elder's in the Quakers Church. At the shipping yard, Selah meets Henry and purchases him with the agreement that he will marry her and pose as her husband, the thing though Henry is hiding a dark secret about who he really is.  When Nathan doesn't get his own way, what will happen to Selah when he starts to proclaim that she is a witch after all - what other explanation would there be for her performing healings and miracles ? Can she get out of this mess after she discovers who her friends are and that being a descendant makes her stronger ?  Will Henry and Selah eventually find themselves loving each other and soon their marriage be turned into a reality ?

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens.

Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
