Nothing can stop Raine Cooper when she wants something…
Raine finally knows that her gorgeous neighbor, Torin St.
James, is a legend straight out of Norse mythology, and that her feelings for
him are strong. Torin is crazy about Raine too, breaking the one rule he lives
by: Never fall for a mortal. The problem is he no longer remembers her, his
memories erased by Norns—Norse destiny deities—to punish her for defying them.
She will make Torin forget his one rule a second time and
fall in love with her all over again.
But she quickly learns that well-laid plans do not work when
dealing with deities and supernatural beings. Desperate, Raine makes choices
that could not only tear her and Torin further apart, but lead to the
destruction of everything and everyone she loves.
My REVIEW
I was excited to read this because it was about Norse Gods rather than Greek Gods. I enjoyed the plot and the ending was pretty good. I liked the family aspect of the characters and the author did a great job in creating a believable world. I would have wished more from the most common Norse Gods, legends and folklore. I also thought that the Glossary at the beginning of the book was a nice touch. I am curious what was in the previous books in the series, and want to eventually read them because I feel like I am missing the characters pasts. I can not wait to see where their futures lead.
The erased memory was a nice touch, I am giving this book a 3/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
