This is the first book I’ve read of Ria’s, but after reading Celtic Spirit, I instantly purchased her other books.  Derek Campbell was a highlander that lived life how he choose.  He sold his warrior talents to the highest bidder and had no regrets.  Obvilous to all the pain, sorrow and horror that he had caused. When his time was to be at an end, instead of going on, the Guardians decided he should earn his redemption, he was to live. not die, but not alive, existing in the Spirit world and confined to Castle Campbell, until his redemption was earned.  Kiera Callum, left her home after being hurt from her past love.  Although she come to Scotland with her job, soon she fell in love with Scotland and was drawn to Castle Campbell.  Kiera had “the gift” and could see Derek.  After leaving her job, she started working at Castle Campbell as a tour guide, the castle she is strangely drawn to. Was Kiera the one to help Derek earn his redemption?  Kiera rejected the thought that she could learn to love a “spirit”, but love does have a way of not listening to logic. Ria weaves this beautiful story with present and 700 years ago in the past.  Celtic Spirit had me experiencing every emotion imaginable. Her writing will not let you go, it stays with you, making you wondering what would happen next and how it would work out.  Ria weaves in this story the paranormal in way that is so smoothly written, you actually enjoy it.  Through all the emotions of reading Celtic Spirit, rest assure, it does have a HEA.  I highly recommend this book.  I gave it five stars, only because it was all I could!  Celtic Spirit deserves more stars and I will not be surprised when it wins book awards.
