This is a short story which is part of an anthology, For The Love of The Gods, published by Ishtar Press. There are a total of 9 stories which are being published seperately for now but will eventually be put into print together.Thunderstruck is the story of Taranis, God of Thunder, and his quest to find his soul mate. The story starts in Ireland in the year 1462. Taranis spies on a mortal woman, desperate to make contact with her, but is held back by past failures. His fellow gods have given Taranis terms to abide by, and thus far he has failed in his quest to get past those terms.The story jumps forward to the present day and Taranis, in human form as Taran, converses with a young woman in a coffee shop. Could this be his soul mate? And if she is can he manage to pass the very strict terms he has been set?This is a quick read but it has so much in its pages. I love the idea that a god can find a human woman attractive and want to change his life to be with her. And I love how feisty the woman he wants becomes by the end of the story!This is a good short read with just the right amounts of love, sex, and storyline to keep the readers attention.
