Douglas is skilled in the literary arts of scene-setting and providing readers with a vivid depiction of what is happening and why. The story is written from the point of view of Dagda, which I appreciated as most books with this degree of excellent sizzle are written from a female perspective. The irony here is that this exact situation gave me all the same feelings Dagda must have had, and in my opinion that now makes me an expert on the topic. In the interest of full disclosure, I had to read Dagda on my phone because my wife practically wrestled the e-reader from my grip after seeing the cover.

Are you here to steal my cauldron, or is it the former.” “When a woman enters a man’s home, they only desire two things: companionship and sex, or to steal from them. Dagda's sister Cerridwen catches him as he is drowning his sorrows in mead, telling him of a cloudy vision she has had that on this night, Dagda will also find pleasure.but only if he is able to get past his own stubbornness. Worse still, Dagda's beautiful, intense, intelligent, and sexually bold wife is unable to hide her own pleasure in fulfilling this duty. Samhain is on the cusp and Dagda is distracted in anger and jealousy that his wife Morrígan has been singled out to partner with the new king. The book begins with an introduction to the titular God, Dagda, on a night when all manner of pleasure is permissible.
