5 Stars

If you haven't started reading this series what are you waiting. You're missing out on excellent reads. Earth Borne is the second book in the series. We have Thereus who we've met in Moon Borne. Thereus is returning home on the suggestion from the Gods. Too bad for Melita because she's living a lie while she has thought Thereus was dead. Now her worst nightmares have come true and her execution is imminent or is it? This story takes you on twists and turns. The biggest one I didn't see coming, but it shows how powerful love is. This book had me from the beginning. I really liked Melita. Everything she took on and the job she has done to keep everything from crumbling down. Melita is also intriguing because she's a nymph. That's one of my favorite mythical creatures. I also liked that Thereus kind had to grovel to try to win the affections of his wife back, but he has no clue who Melita is. While reading you fear the worst for Melita's fate, but you know Rachael isn't going to let you down. The more I read this series the more I love it. The characters are great and engaging. There is more build up for the war that is looming.

As a nymph, she’s fashioned for seduction
Melita is married to the centaur, Lord Thereus. Or at least she pretends to be. The ruse has been easy, until the presumed deceased Thereus returns. To save his lands, she committed treason. But that isn’t the worst of her secrets. To protect her heart from the lethally charming Thereus, she’ll have to risk claiming his.

No one has ever tamed him
Thereus was once as wild as the stallion half of his body. And just as stubborn. He never wished for a wife, but the woman he returns to has changed. She’s become… irresistible. Despite his attraction, Thereus doesn’t intend to stay. After he collects his army, he’ll be off to war. Yet as his passion for her burns as deep as her secrets, he’ll have to fight for the one thing he faked his death to escape… and now just might not be able to live without.

The path of truth is wound with hidden desires
Melita’s shadowed past holds a secret that could shatter the centuries-old peace between centaurs and Lapiths. But trusting her heart to Thereus isn’t a risk Melita is willing to take twice, even though he swears he’s now more wicked than wild. As her enemies close in on the truth, Melita and Thereus will have to choose between protecting her race… and saving his.
