Brida was bored out of her gourd since the Catholic Church changed her legend to that of a nun who achieved sainthood. They couldn't get her worshipers to forget the goddess of motherhood, of both war and healing, and the sacred herald of the coming spring. They simply set about slowly changing her legend until the goddess was no more. Her cousin, Aoibheal, the Fae Queen, was sick of her whining. She offered Brida the chance to go to the mortal world and if Brida found a mortal man worthy enough, Aoibheal would make him immortal to live with Brida forever. If she failed to find a mortal worthy of immortality, Aoibheal would make Brida mortal for one human life span before she changed back into her immortal self.

Brida went immediately to the university and Professor Joseph McKiloughery's class on the ancient gods and goddesses of the Celts. She introduced herself and convinced him she was real. They discovered they were very sexually compatible. She decided he was the one, but he refused immortality.

I loved it when Brida understood why Joseph wasn't interested in becoming a god. To convince him to become immortal, she'd taken him back in time to the history he taught, to show him what he could do anytime once he was a god. She realized it had been the best day of her life because she had seen it through Joseph's eyes. He'd treasured everything about the day because it was the only time he would ever have the experience. It reminded me that I need to remember to think that way when Joseph explained that there was no mystery or interest in a perfect life that lasts forever. You can't appreciate sweet if you never taste bitter. You enjoy every moment because you'll never have it again. Brida realized the sex they'd shared and the food they'd eaten and even the warmth of the day were better because she'd seen it through Joseph's eyes as a once-in-a-lifetime experience. A mortal lifetime might not be punishment, after all.

End of the Rainbow is a delightfully joyful romp of deliciously sensual explicit sexual encounters in both historical Ireland and modern day Dublin between a couple who are perfect for each other. She is everything he's ever loved, everything he's pretended in re-enactments at renaissance fairs since he was a young boy. He's the first sexual partner she's had whose performance is worthy of a god. This book is a really fun read and the sex is unmatched in this realm and the next.
