Scandal's Bride (CYNSTER, #3) (Bar Cynster)

The romance kept me reading but the paganism had my eyebrow burried in my hairline.

Don't get me wrong, I actually like paranormal romances and the idea of having some goddess worshippers who don't use protective colouring in 19th Century Scotland? Nope not ringing true with me, someone would notice and it would create a huge scandal, or at least regular visits from bible thumpers.

There was also a certain amount of sub-text where the female main character had to submit to the male main character and where the relationship seemed to be less a meeting of equals and more a power play, there was a huge missed opportunity here.

I *did* enjoy the read but it left me with a certain amount of uneasy feelings about the plot and where the writer was taking me.
