Paige is cursed, or so she feels. Her people have no love for Paige or her family’s psychic abilities, so who better to sacrifice to their gods. Paige knew of their strong feelings, but never suspected they would subject her to a fairy ring. However, the punishment she expects seems to have thrown her in the arms of her destiny.

Sir Aidan of Fallenrock is in no hurry to marry one of the bartered brides, but that’s exactly what his king and his friends expect of him. Aidan wants the gods to bless him with a wife sent through the rings, not a mate picked at random to give them a new bloodline. Meeting Paige, Aidan feels the gods have heard his plea and makes Paige his wife.

Paige isn’t as willing as Aidan feels she should be, and Aidan doesn’t understand why love is important to Paige. What will the handsome knight do to win his lady?

Michelle M. Pillow’s Keeping Paige is the third story of the Divinity Warrior series. Aidan and Paige make a better match than they could expect. Both are strongly independent and their dynamic attraction makes them a handsome couple. I could understand both of their arguments, but leaned more towards Aidan’s even when he didn’t understand love in the beginning. Paige was lonely and wanted companionship, and I knew if she took the time to see what a blessing Aidan was, she could help the giant of a man learn the true meaning of love. Ms. Pillow has created a different circumstance for each new bride’s appearance in Battlewar, which keeps the series interesting. I love their different backgrounds as much as I love their similar traits. Michelle M. Pillow delivers action, suspense, drama, romance, and spine tingling erotic encounters in Keeping Paige.
