The most excitement teacher Shannon Parker expected on her summer vacation was a little shopping. But then her latest purchase--a vase with the Celtic goddess Epona on it--somehow switches her into the world of Partholon, where she's treated like a goddess. A very temperamental goddess... It seems that Shannon has stepped into another's role as the Goddess Incarnate of Epona. And while it has some very appealing moments--what woman doesn't like a little pampering now and then?--it also comes with a ritual marriage to a centaur and the threat of war against the evil Fomorians. Oh, and everyone disliking her because they think she's her double.

Somehow Shannon needs to figure out how to get back to Oklahoma without being killed, married to a horse or losing her mind...

In a Nutshell: Modern girl gets sucked into alternate reality to become the voice for a Goddess.

What I Liked: This book, even having read thousands of books, is one if my absolute favorites. The characters are very well developed and you begin to fall in love with them as soon as you meet each one. Especially Clanfintan, he is the hottest thing on 4 legs. The plot had the vast amazingness you see in epic fantasy stories and the steam of a sizzling romance.

What I Also Liked: I love Shannon through this whole book, she is absolutely hilarious and I laughed out loud at her modern jokes through the entire book, she is so funny. The emotions in this book were real, when people died in the pages I wept with the characters in the book for each and every one of them; when people fell in love I fell in love too.

Overall Impression: Divine by Mistake is so wonderful from beginning to end, a must read for the romance reader.
