I really enjoyed this marriage of convenience romance. I found the characters to be lovable and was impressed that the FMC was plus-sized without the love interest having to reassure her or have a fetish for it.
The ending happened fairly quickly and could have been expanded to help tie up some loose ends. Though, they may be resolved in a future book in this series.

This book was hard to get through because it was so cheesy and not terribly interesting. The plot was are minimum for my enjoyment. The relationship was cute but just too cheesy for me.

I was recommended this book from a good friend and although I was iffy on reading it, I ended up loving every second of it.
I paired the physical with the audio and *chefs kiss*!!!! Eros & Psyche are the couple that have the irresistible pull between them. Eros is the bad boy, controlled by his mother and not knowing of a life for himself. Psyche is the beautiful, plus sized, positive light that Eros didn’t expect to become addicted to. They fall into a marriage of convenience but the chemistry is there from the jump. He can’t enough and she tries with everything to fight it off but can’t deny it after their first touch that there is something there!!!
Some of my fave moments:
- spicy scenes in rooms full of mirrors 😏
- found family at the end for him
- sunflower personality that you can’t get enough of from her
- THE SPICEEEEE I CANT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH
- the drama with his mama? Oof!!
- The body positivity and the way this man LIVESSSSS for her body. He is intoxicated by her every atom, her every breath, her every thought. I just cannot
Where can I find me an Eros??? Please! 😩

Don’t worry about needing to read book 1! I didn’t but I def will after finishing this and I’ll be reading the rest of the series because DAMN that was good

Honestly, I didn't think it was going to go back to this series, considering I read "Neon Gods" over a year ago. And it's not because Neon Gods wasn't good, but it was just too steamy for me. Plus, I was unaware that there were more books in the series. My reading taste has involved from when I started reading again to now and this series did peak my curiosity considering I was a Percy Jackson kid growing up so I decided to give the second book a try. And my gosh it was worth it!

This book is so fast-paced and the world-building (while faulty) is very easy to follow considering that's not really the point of her books as I'm starting to be aware. 😅 I LOVE Pysche! She's one of the few characters in a book that I really related to. Sometimes she would literally say the things that I would be thinking. I love the relationship she and her sisters have and it was great to see their dynamic again in this book. I really hope each individual sister gets their book, especially Calypso. Love her too! And honestly, Eros was such a delight as well. I feel like they balance each other out so nicely. I love how he would literally travel to the ends of the Earth for her and even before they admitted their feelings for one another he was still concerned with keeping her (and her family) safe. And I adored his friendship with Helen! (also love how consent and condom usage was prioritized in this book

although they did have sex without a condom once😬

Now as much as I love this couple, I honestly do feel like Hermes stole the show in this book. I LOVE her! I really really REALLY hope she gets her own book!

Honestly, this book was creeping up to be a 5 ⭐, but there were a few discrepancies that bothered me.

One is that although I know the world-building isn't really the point of these books which is why they're written so loosely, I really do wish the author would expand on the world-building a little more. I find the lore of these books so fascinating. How does the 13 work? What exactly is their purpose? And how does the "magic" system work there?

And this relates to the main reason I gave this 4.5 instead of 5 ⭐. I felt like the ending was a bit rushed. The main plot of Aphrodite having Psyche killed was dealt with, but I feel like the aftermath of what happened was just brushed through with a few sentences. Like Helen's sister being the newly appointed Aphrodite is a big deal considering her other brother is already Zeus. The power imbalance will be crazy! I hope that's expanded upon in the next book.

And also I wish we got to see more of Eros and Perseus/Zeus's friendship. I feel like we were TOLD and not SHOWN that they used to be very great friends which in my opinion made their interaction of Eros asking for "Zues"/Perseus's help less impactful.

i also so wish we got a little more context as to how Eros became his mother's wepaon.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to continue on with the series!

Spice Rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️.5/5 (about six sex scenes in here)
