If you're looking at my shelves and noticed that I marked the POV as being both singular and dual, it's because there is only one chapter from Eros' POV. There are small references to the prior books but, unless you know, you aren't likely to think much of it. Along those lines, I've been enjoying this series out of order and I think it's fine. I do prefer to listen to this type of book but the reading experience was still worth it. Especially when a Greek God flies you to a deserted castle to have his wicked, supremely steamy way with you. The myths of Greek lore mixed with the here and now and the commingling of traditions from the Scottish culture were absolutely lovely and fun. I love the skepticism, the banter, and the experiences that Elani and Eric / Eros share. I guess with the simplest of declarations. This was a relatively fast read with a slow burn and what I consider to be low angst.

There were a few things that were a bit of a surprise but there were more laugh out loud moments stemming from either of these characters or one of the many secondary characters that were deliciously popping in and out. I loved the way this author set up this couple and while I knew what would eventually happen, I could not predict how it was going to play out. However, he was always the first to step in as soon as things went south or she needed moral support. He had enough alpha in him to maintain his place in Elani’s sight, but never exerted it to the place of taking control as he watched her struggle through date after date. Instead of being the cookie cutter type of god, he was so unique. I was expecting the god of Love to act a certain way. That’s when I knew that Elani was probably going to get put through a wringer by Eros along the journey to their happy ever after. Everything she does is based on a program, not emotions. I was interested in how someone who didn’t believe in true love could be a successful matchmaker. I didn’t think it would be possible for this series to get any better, but Eros just took first place in my heart!Įlani was a heroine that had a damaged heart and couldn’t trust love.
