Just from these few chapters I can tell this book is my least in the series. The other books grabbed me pretty quickly; not the case with this one. As far as the MCs, Cassandra and Apollo, I liked Cassandra, but Apollo is just … meh. I might read the book at a later time for continuity and to see how it ties in to the rest of the Dark Olympus world

Hot and spicy return to Olympus from author Katee Robert. I loved Cassandra and Apollo’s forced proximity story amid the backdrop of ongoing series intrigue. Do not miss this book in the series!

another Katee Roberts knockout book.

Like a lot of Roberts’ books, Radiant Sin is full of spice (this is erotica people!!!) but with a gloriously fun plot. You fall into Roberts’ dreamworld and never want to leave. If you’ve enjoyed her previous books, you know you’ll love this one.

If you haven’t, starting here might feel … overwhelming. Start at the beginning of this series and work your way here. Roberts’ spends a lot of time on spice and doesn’t slow down for you if you’re not caught up on her world building. Great if you’re familiar - no rehashing, but could be challenging for a new reader.

This is gearing up to be another triumphantly sexy Olympus story, this time being between Apollo and Cassandra. In the preview, I caught a little bit of upcoming danger and a whiff of spice that I can't wait to devour upon its release!

Katee Robert does it again and by that I mean suck me in right from the beginning. Is there anything she can't write?? I continue to be obsessed with this series and I can't wait for more.

I didn’t realize that this was only a preview. The first 5 chapters keep you wanting more. I suspect will be getting the book.

I received a complimentary copy of the first five chapters of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own

This Dark Olympus sequel is HOT! Everything you’d expect from queen Katee Robert. Absolutely my favorite Greek mythological retellings to date, and this is already gearing up to carry the torch of it predecessors. Spymaster Apollo & a fake relationship with Cassandra are setting the stage for some spicy drama

Fake dating AND a clue-style dinner party, I'm still SALIVATING at how good this novel was. It picks up right after Wicked Beauty, the tensions still running high between the 13 and the incoming threat of a family moving into the Upper City of Olympus. Twists, turns, and the perfect amount of smut Katee Robert is known for. This narrative will keep you on your toes and have them curling.

The first five chapters were certainly intruguing and I wanted to read more of it. I also knew I'd like both Cassandra and Apollo as characrers.

There's not much else to go off of since this was only a small snippet, but I was very entertained from what I read.

I am nothing if not a lover of Katee Robert and her Dark Olympus series (I really need to get on reading her other books). I have loved every book in this series and Radiant Sin is no exception.

Katee has done an absolutely phenomenal job at keeping all of her books in the series spicy while being entertaining and building the world of Olympus so that the reader has the ability to understand the politics behind all of the 13 and their actions. One of the things that I love about Cassandra and Apollo’s relationship is that Cassandra is so anti-13, but is so in love with Apollo. And that man is head over heels in love with her. He’s so faithful to his job but would do anything for her.

I love how respectful they make Apollo because it is a boss-employee relationship, and on top of that it’s fake dating for a chunk of the book. Apollo is very aware of the power dynamics and makes conscious decisions so that he is not abusing his power. But Cassandra is a headstrong girly and does eventually go and get what she wants.

There have been stakes in the previous books in the series, but this is the first one that really connects all of them and shows how there is a match being tossed into the powder keg. I’m really interested to see how the rest of this series develops, given how this book ends. But I had a blast and a half reading it. Also, there is a four-chapter sex scene and it was nearly an hour long in the audiobook and that took me the fuck out.
Thank you SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca and NetGalley for giving me access to an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is the first book in the Dark Olympus series that I’ve read but I’m so hooked I plan on reading the rest of them.

I really enjoyed the first few chapters of this book! I love every Katee writes and this one is taking a different approach than the other books in the series! I’m excited to read the rest of it!

While I can say this book may have been my least favorite of the Dark Olympus series, it is still a solid 4 in my book. Once I started I could not stop and completely inhaled it overnight. Once again Katee makes you care deeply about her characters and developing an actually intriguing plot line while still keeping it heavy in spice.

This was a short taste in the next book of the Dark Olympus series. The previous books in this series have been great so I was looking forward to this one. In 'Radiant Sin', we get Apollo and Cassandra's story. We get mention and some appearances of previous characters but from the first 5 chapters this is set up to be a good one. In an effort to get some covert information needed, Apollo teams up with his personal assistant, Cassandra, in a faking dating scheme to get into a party where they will most likely be able to obtain the needed information. Little do they know that even though they're fake dating, they're both actually attracted to each other. I can't wait to see where this one goes.

This teaser made me want for more. Katee Robert is an autobuy and I love the Dark Olympus series! Apollo and Cassandra has been one of the retellings I have been waiting for and Katee did not disappoint. I can't wait to read the rest of the series!

I can tell that my reading preferences have changed since this series started.

When this series started I thought it was amazing but as these books go on there is just so much drama and angst and that’s not really my reading vibe anymore.

I think I will continue to read this series just because I want to know how it ends but I’m not going to make this series a priority.

I absolutely LOVE the Dark Olympus series. Greek mythology mixed with more than enough spice, what could be better? This particular book in the series focused on Apollo and Cassandra. The plot flowed seamlessly from the previous books, as if you're just continuing a story from a different perspective. Cassandra radiated big girl positive energy and the way Apollo worshipped and respected her, was perfection. I can't wait to continue their story and read about others when the next book comes out.

Thank you NetGalley and Sourcebook Casablanca for the opportunity to read this PREVIEW of Radiant Sin.
Ooo this was my first snippet of reading anything by Katee Robert and even though it was only the first little bit as a preview (first 5 chapters) I super enjoyed it and hope to finish the book one day soon!! It’s clear this will be #fakedating at its finest. 👌🏻

I’ll definitely be looking into reading other books of hers now.

Thank you for the preview book. 5 chapters are enough to make me read the entire book. As usual, I am going to read Dark Olympus #4 since I loved the previous 3 books. This series can be read as a standalone I guess.

I was able to read and review this Radiant Sin preview from Netgalley.
This was my first experience with Katee Robert. I have heard their name mentioned often, but I have never read any of their work.
The premise of this novel is compelling. This is the modern day, with the Greek Gods and Goddesses being titled positions within society that can be occupied by the winner of many different types of preset guidelines for each God/Goddess position.
The FMC is from a family that was austricizd from society, and she and her sister are trying to make it in a culture where they're outcasts due to the behavior (aka treason) of their parents.
To be able to leave this city and move into the Lower World (Netherworld) to start again, our FMC agrees to a job in which she must pose (and be believed) to be her boss' girlfriend at a week-long party. By doing this, the Gods in question can garner enough information about a new high society member they desperately need.
This is your typical "There's only one bed" / 'sexual tension running high' type scenario, and I am here for it. I am buying this book, and I am diving in head first.
