This series is one of my favorites! I love how the story continues and is connected through all the books but just with a new relationship as the focus!

The narrators as always did a fantastic job bringing the story to life and didn’t want it to end!

I can’t wait for the next book to see what happens next!

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for a copy of this audiobook. This is my honest voluntary review.

I was really excited to listen to Radiant Sin. I had read the first 5 chapters on netgalley at the end of last year and loved it! I always love reading Katee’s books because I know exactly what I am going to get- and this book is no exception. It was an enjoyable, spicy, fun and entertaining listen.

This was a fake dating enemies to lovers style romance- but the tropes move FAST through the stages. I think I would have enjoyed this more if it took longer for the characters to fall for each other.

I loved the added mystery aspect- it felt like a game of clue. For me this was the best part of the story- I wish we got more of it!

I do think some of the stories in the series are slightly repetitive, but I will continue to read all of them.

I would recommend this book to friends, and I loved the narrators. They did a great job.

I was a little nervous going into this book since I didn't enjoy Wicked Beauty as much as the two books before it, but I ended up enjoying this one!

I really liked Cassandra and Apollo together. Their chemistry was evident and it was cute that they'd both been secretly crushing on each other during all these years of working together.

I liked that this book had a murder mystery vibe to it. It was interesting trying to figure out what was going on and who was behind everything. It was hard to know who you can trust. I'm interested in finding out who the bigger threat is that's looming over everyone and getting some answers about what is going on with the barrier.

*I was provided an audio version of this book by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I loved both of the narrators, Zara Hampton-Brown and Alex Moorcock. They both did a great job of bringing the characters to life and giving each character a unique voice.

4.5⭐️

Thank you Netgalley and Dreamscape Media for an early copy to review.

I honestly enjoyed the layout of this book so much! It was like murder mystery and gave total Clue vibes.

There was a BDSM vibe to the story too. I think this became my favorite Dark Olympus book!

The minotaur is trying to weasel his way into Olympus after losing the competition for Ares. He throws a party and invites the 13. Apollo and Cassandra go to try to find out what the Minotaur is up to for Zeus and it becomes far more complicated than anyone initially thought.

Katee Roberts does it again. Her work is always hot and fun i love this series and am so excited for the next book to come out

I want to start off with saying that I have really enjoyed this entire series so far, I even liked this book. It just wasn't it for me.

Apollo and Cassandra have a working relationship and while they both are hiding feelings for the other because he is a part of the 13 and her family name is not good. They enter a fake relationship to spy during a very strange Clue like dinner party.

It was a good story but again I just wasn't as wowed. I do definitely look forward to more from this series!

I went into this book having not read any of the other Dark Olympus series. Oh man - now I’ve just gone and ordered the other three.

Radiant Sin is a modern spicy retelling of Apollo and Cassandra, and is just what you’d hope it would be. Sexy, sweet, suspenseful… Katee Robert does a great job blending mythology with modern life in a way that still makes these “13” feel God-Like while still relatable (something where spicy retellings sometimes miss the mark)

If you read this book and don’t fall for Apollo I’d be shocked.

Dark Olympus Book 4 is another spicy modern Greek retelling. This time we get Apollo and Cassandra's story.

Cassandra has experienced what the Thirteen can do. Her goal is to work hard as Apollos' executive assistant and get herself and her sister out of Olympus. When Apollo needs a date for a week-long party, he makes a deal with Cassandra. If she pretends to be his girlfriend and helps him gather information, he will make it so she can leave Olympus.

As expected, Cassandra and Apollo's fake relationship develops into real feelings. As one of the Thirteen, he's the last person Cassandra wants to fall for but he's hard to resist.

Cassandra brings a viewpoint on Olympus and the politics of the Thirteen from an outside perspective. There is more focus on the political side of Olympus compared to the previous books.

I enjoyed Cassandra and Apollo together. Their HEA felt rushed, though. I would have liked another chapter or epilogue.

Expect spice, some fun banter, a little mystery, adventure, and forced proximity.

This could be read as a standalone. Characters and events from the previous books are mentioned.

The dual narration made the audiobook version fast-paced and easy to listen to. The accents were smooth and matched the voices for bot Cassandra and Apollo.

This might be my favourite Dark Olympus book to date. It focuses on Apollo and Cassandra and I think it's more of a soft book than the others in the series have been thus far. I mean, Apollo is a fucking marshmallow and I love that. Also, one of KR's tags for this one is 'fake dating for spy reasons' and yes, yes it is. Fake dating is one of my favourite tropes and the fact that they are fake dating because they are spying on someone, is just perfect.

I also really like that Cassandra is bigger and Apollo loves that. And it didn't feel like fetishization or anything, he just really liked her body and her curves, but also her mind and he obviously really respects her. Their relationship is just so good. I love it.

Also, ALSO, this book introduces all of the remaining characters for the rest of the series. Well, except that we don't know who else is in Hermes's book, but otherwise everyone is in this book. And I have SO MANY QUESTIONS!!! Just based on what happened in this book and who everyone is (and who they are related to), I cannot wait for the rest of the series.

I think this is my favorite of the series so far?! Apollo has always been one of my favorites in the series so I was very excited for his book and was honestly just hoping it would be better than Wicked Beauty, as it was not my fav.

From the beginning, I knew I was going to like this one and I think a part of that is due to Cassandra. She is feisty and strong willed and isn't afraid to show it.

The plot continues from the last book, but this had like a fun murder mystery element that made this very fun. Also, the chemistry between Apollo and Cassandra was everything - obvs the spice was great, but honestly, they were just like really sweet together?? Apollo was a bit swoony haha

Some of Katee Robert's books lack plot, or the plot seems very uninspired. But this book's plot was actually really interesting! It was focused more on plot than it was spice, and I really enjoyed it. Eros and Psyche are my favorite Greek myth, so their book is my favorite, but this one comes close.

Another home run by Katee Robert! Without fail she always provides a fast paced, exciting and spicy adventure in each book. The political scheming, the diverse characters and just the sheer sexiness of it all is always a winner. This world is so creative and unique for a non-fantasy series. Apollo and Cassandra are truly a lovely couple. I am so lucky to have gotten an advance listener copy, its like winning the lottery! Thank you Dreamscape!

If you haven't started this series, what are you waiting for? It's amazing!

Thank you Netgalley and Dreamscape for providing an audiobook version of the radiant sin.

This has to be hands down my favorite series from Katee roberts. Apollo & Cassandra were such a delight! I love their dynamic together and I love that he felt for her first! AH! *screaming*

I was so intrigued with the plot and politics of it all! It was so mysterious and exciting on top of all the spice 🔥🔥🔥 I have to say this is my favorite from the series.

You get your plus size rep and grumpy MC and I loved every moment of it! Cassandra has gone through a lot in her lifetime and she continues to being put to the test! I love how strong and determine and protective she is of her sister ( which she is the one that raised her after her parents passed away in an “accident” . She is your typical -I don’t take your crap no matter who you are- type of gal and I LOVED every moment of it.

I wish Apollo’s personality was a bit more..? I just felt him a bit boring at times.. I needed more of him..but overall I really enjoyed this one!

Radiant Sin by Katee Robert was a dark, suspenseful, and steamy romance that had me hooked from start to finish! Cassandra and Apollo's journey to HEA was full of gripping twists and spicy turns that had me on the edge of my seat wishing and willing for them to solve the mystery and find their true happiness together!

Zara Hampton-Brown and Alex Moorcock narrate this audiobook, and with each new book in the Dark Olympus series, these two just get better and better! Zara fully embodied passionate, determined Cassandra in her performance, and it was powerful! Plus, Alex was quite charming as a dedicated, loyal loving Apollo! Both narrators brought the heat with Cassandra and Apollo's steamy hot chemistry!

Overall, I LOVED this book. If you are a fan of dark fake relationship romance with a hot hunky god, a sassy adamant heroine, suspense, mystery, seductive first kisses, all the sexual tension, getaways with friends, a plot-twisting climax, and a HEA that will leave you radiant and happy sighing, then you will love Cassandra and Apollo's story. I always look forward to more from Katee Roberts.

Thank you to Dreamscape Media for the ARC 🌈

I’ve followed this series since Neon Gods was released and I’ve loved each book more than the last. As additional characters get written about and introduced the world gets more complex. I love seeing previous characters come back and it’s fun to wonder who the next book will highlight.

Radiant Sin had everything you need if you’re a fantasy romance reader: adventure and spice! The plot flowed seamlessly from the previous books and, even though I did not reread the series before diving into this one, I was not lost. Katee is fantastic about rehashing background details when they are needed without it feeling like an info dump. I read a good bit and sometimes it’s hard to pick a series back up after being out of the world. I never find that to be the case with anything Katee writes.

The characters in this beautiful addition to the series were Cassondra and Apollo. Both characters were fully fleshed out and dynamic- their motivations were clear and aligned with their actions. Some fan-favorite tropes made their way into this book with my favorites being fake dating and one bed. I loved the setting and how it was wrapped in mystery and intrigue. Side characters from the previous book (Wicked Beauty) became key points of interest and, while some are unsavory, I’m interested to see how it’s going to continue to progress.

I’ve read all of the previous books on my kindle so the audiobook was a different experience for me. I’m usually not a fan because they don’t hold my attention. However, the voice actors chosen for Cassondra and Apollo did an excellent job and, while I did have to keep the pace at 1.5x, it was easy to follow and immersive. It made the book seem like a light read because time flew by.

All in all, I always love Katee Robert. She is a great author and, if you follow her social media or newsletters, it’s glaringly obvious that she puts her whole soul into her books. She is a wonderful author as well as just a wonderful person. I am always thankful for her representation and inclusivity of full sized women.

Thank you Dreamscape Media for providing with an audiobook ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed the fourth installment of the Dark Olympus series. It's considerably less spicy than the other books but don't let that deter you from enjoying it. Katee Robert spends a good amount of time setting up the politics of the world for the forthcoming books. I have a good feeling the next books are going to be INSANE!

The romance between Apollo and Cassandra was very soft and tender. Cassandra is prickly and Apollo is the definition of "boy obsessed". I LOVED THEM! And the spice we did get!? WHEW! I really loved this one and as always, I am eagerly waiting for CRUEL SEDUCTION to come out in August.

4.5 stars

Radiant Sin is the fourth installment of the Dark Olympus Series written by Katee Robert. The audiobook is narrated by Zara Hampton-Brown and Alex Moorcock. I was given an advanced copy of the audiobook from NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for review purposes but all my thoughts are my own.

The Dark Olympus series is one of my favorite erotica series. I like my smut with a side of intriguing plot and the Dark Olympus series does it for me. (I have also read the Wicked Villains Series by same author and it’s also super good for smut and storyline balance)

Radiant Sin has us following Apollo and his assistant Cassandra’s fake dating trope. Cassandra has been Apollo’s assistant for 5 years and both seem to have been harboring a thing for each other during this time. But Cassandra’s past keeps her from acting on these feelings and Apollo is a genuinely good guy who won’t force things. So how do these two end up together? A mission from Zeus of course that requires a fake dating scheme to glean some important information from the city’s latest citizen, Minos and his family.

This was delightfully steamy and full of intrigue and suspense as a plot to deceive Olympus unfolds. I like Apollo and Cassandra together, I felt the connection. However, Cassandra blushes maybe a bit too much and sometimes the over mentioning of it would pull me out of the moment a little.

One thing I do appreciate in Katee Robert’s book is the consent and feelings of protection and respect the partners have for one another. She also writes banter really well and Zara and Alex do an amazing job with delivery. These two narrators have so far narrated the entire series and they are a very splendid duo together.

I cannot wait to see what happens next in this series! The next installment titled “Cruel Seduction” comes out later this year so don’t worry, if you read “Radiant Sin” when it launches in February, you won’t have to wait too long to see what happens next!

Katee Robert did it again! Book 3 is still my favorite but this one was great as well. Cassandra and Apollo had an intriguing romance but I also really enjoyed their storyline. The narrators were great as well.

Radiant Sin by Katee Robert is another sizzling hot installment of the Dark Olympus series. I’m giving this a 4.5⭐️. I chose to listen to this book on audio and it was narrated by Zara Hampton-Brown and Alex Moorcock and they were great! I highly recommend listening to this one.
This fourth book was unique because both characters were outside of the realm as far as actions. Apollo and Cassandra have known each other for years and are going to fake date at a house party so they find important info on the 13.
The couple had tons of chemistry and was an open door romance and more! KR write satisfying hot romances that remind why I read it.

Rating: 2/5

I had really high hopes for this book since I do typically love Katee’s writing. I did of course love all of the spice, however I couldn’t keep focus through the plot. It felt all over the place.
