Thank you Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was an enjoyable, fantastical tale full of romance, humor, intrigue, Greek mythology and of course hot, melt-your-panties sex! Leí is pulled into a world of gods and elaborate sexual fantasies with a man, August, who tries to convince her to sell him a relic her father's gifts her for her bday.
August is an incredibly sweet guy who offers Lei not only unforgettable sexual pleasure but an opportunity to believe in the magic of love.

A+ for creativity and unforgettable characters. I was spellbound.

First off, I have never read an erotica novel before this. This was definitely not what I was expecting but I fell in love with this book. It was such a good romance and I loved the banter between the characters. I also really enjoyed the writing style.

The empowerment of women was also such a refreshing thing to see in a book about sex. The ways the stories were told really showed the possibilities that the stories can be interpreted different ways by the person telling them. Showing them as another story entirely as the main pov was so interesting. Most greek myths were taken from a mans retelling so who is to say how different they would have been if told by a woman.

I am an artist and this book was so inspiring and empowering and I immediately went out and planned some greek themed paintings. This story was like being right in the lives of the greek gods and myths. I didn't know I needed this and when I finished the book I was desperate for more.

Loved this book.
