fake dating - meh. and I was also like... uh so we just jumped into these two people having a pre-established work relationship and they were pining for each other the whole time but like WE as readers didn't get to see any of that. So I'm like.... do I care?? I also kind of hate the male narrator for these books he sounds pretentious AF and it's not sexy

I absolutely love the Dark Olympus series and this book is no exception! We start with Cassandra who is the executive assistant to Apollo. She is a curvy sassy woman who takes no shit from anyone, especially not Apollo. She has had to grow up fast in a city that has shunned her and her sister because of a failed assassination attempt that resulted in the death of their parents. Enter Apollo who is uncommonly kind and fair for a member of The Thirteen and keeps chipping away at Cassandra’s icy exterior.

They have both been circling each other for years while working together but Apollo knows Cassandra’s opinion of The Thirteen and that she plans on leaving Olympus as soon as possible. Cassandra has been fighting against her attraction to Apollo even though he has treated her with respect and kindness he is still one of The Thirteen. All of their feelings are brought to the surface when Zeus demands Apollo and Cassandra’s presence at Minos’ party to gather information on him and his intentions.

If Cassandra is successful Zeus promises enough money for her to leave Olympus and start a new life, much to Apollo’s chagrin. Thus begins a party of danger and mystery where both Apollo and Cassandra need to keep their heads which is becoming increasingly difficult since they are supposed to be dating but are also fighting their true attraction to each other.

I really enjoyed this book and I really would have liked if Cassandra had considered her sisters feeling and realized that she was an adult and could handle herself but I understand that is also a part of her arc. And as a big sister myself who is protective of their own little sister, I get it. But like maybe more communication between the sisters. All in all I loved it and can’t wait to read Cruel Seduction.

In this installment of the Dark Olympus series, we meet Cassandra, who is the executive assistant for Apollo. Cassandra wants nothing more than to escape Olympus with her younger sister, Alexandra, but she needs money to make that happen. So, to get the cash she needs, she enters into a deal with Apollo and Zeus that puts her at the heart of some dirty Olympus dealings.

I have really been enjoying this series. I think the author does a great job of taking the original Greek myths and putting a modern spin on them. There are always some little easter eggs from the source material utilized in the story and I enjoy them when I notice them. I thought Cassandra was a very relatable character and I liked her "give no shits" attitude. The romance involves boss/assistant, d/s, and rope play, all of which were very well done. I will definitely be continuing this series.

This book counts for the Magical Readathon: Adventures in Aeldia for September, to read a book with romance.
