A Celtic Memory (The MacLomain Series: Irish Roots Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Sky Purington (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 342 ratings
She forgot something important. He knows what it is.

The moment Madison arrives at the old Colonial in New Hampshire, she knows her past and future are about to merge. The demons she runs from are drawing closer. Yet thanks to a home with an ancient oak tree and a Stonehenge nearby, she might, at last, find sanctuary. Perhaps even clarity about an elusive memory that’s haunted her for as long as she can remember. Or so she thinks until a handsome Irishman shows up at her door and reveals things she could never have anticipated.

When Cian, Gaelic King of the Connacht, hears Madison’s calls across time, he has no choice but to go to her. After all, he carries the memory she long forgot. One that begins what will eventually be considered folklore if all goes as it should. A memory foreseen by the gods of old that needs to play out if Ireland is to remain intact for generations to come. Even if it means sacrificing Madison for the greater good. Something he thinks will be easy until he meets her and realizes his heart will not be so easily swayed to do what’s right for his country.

Thrust together on a passionate, magical adventure that brings the reader back to a time when the five original Celtic tribes ruled Ireland, expect twists and turns. Joy and heartache. Good versus evil. More than ever, though, expect great love and loss. Endings, new beginnings, and a new take on what really happened over a thousand years ago on the Emerald Isle. More importantly…how it ensured Scotland’s MacLomain Clan would continue on.

For longtime MacLomain readers, this standalone series gives insight (an unknown backstory) into what ensured the MacLomain Clan went on to thrive in Scotland.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great book to the MacLomain Series
    Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2022

    What does a call across time, a dream, a time traveling king, a girl from the 21st century and lost memory have to with saving Ireland from ruins? Why does Cian travel into the future to ask for Madison help to keep it from happening? Who does the lost memory belong to? What is it? Does someone find their mate? Does Cian and Madison get help along the way? If so who is it? Does someone get a happily ever after? Grab the book, sit back and get answers to these questions and see how the story unfolds.

    Sky has a way to keep you engaged in reading her stories. So beware once you grab this book and read it, you’ll get hooked in wanting to read the series from the first book on. You won’t be disappointed about buying this one or any of the others. Go to her author page to see the complete series and what is the preferred order to read them. Most of all Happy Reading!!

    To a new series!! I have read tons of Sky's books and loved every one of them. This one is no exception and is a wonderful beginning to another series, druidess' and their familiars this time, along with the usual time travel adventures, bad guys and mayhem! My only sorrow was reading it early because now I am waiting until December for the pre-order to be delivered.

    Fun quick book to read, filled with good feelings and some sorrow. As this is the first of Sky Purington’s books I have read, I’m looking forward to finishing this series and starting at the beginning. Not one to usually read the end first but didn’t know differently so read on fellow readers

    Good story. The author made the tale come alive with skill. The writing is quite simple, perhaps intended for new adults, and found myself wishing for greater use of language, but I was comfortable with her level of sexuality, and the larger, if predictable storyline.

    This resonated with me. It was a compelling read filled with emotion and adventure. I enjoyed being unable to predict the outcome. It seemed like the telling of a true history but with delightful otherworld characters. A beautiful series.
