New author. I thought it was really good. Ready to read the second book in the series.

Too much expectations will ruin everything.
It was already so bad from the get go
How is okay for someone to take pictures of someone's ass without their permission that's straight up sexual harassment.

Their love didn't feel real
I feel like Zeus only sees Cameron as someone's who's convenient or as a walking womb.

Greek mythology has always fascinated me and I went into this book hoping it was good. I enjoyed how the author tweaked Greek mythology and created a new universe. The idea of the wives cursing their philandering husbands seems very much in character and the Gods definitely felt their wrath. I love Cameron, it's my kind of character! He's a little awkward, a little socially clueless, and absolutely adorable. I enjoyed this book; it's a quick read and has me excited for the next in the series.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

I am a sucker for mpreg, I just wish there was a bit more of it than at the end of the book; but there is potential for the rest of the series to build off of this so I see potential in that aspect. This story also gives background on how the gods have found themselves in the position they are in. I was worried this wouldn’t have much of a love factor but these gods are going to find the love they never had before.

Cameron is adorable, I love his dedication to his sister and her kids and how hard he is willing to work for what he wants, even if it may not be what he originally planned. Zeus can’t deny the pull that Cameron has on him and he will do anything to protect and love him. I liked how these characters played off each other and look forward to reading more in this series.

Totally did this backwards! Read #2 before this one! But it was ok, I wasn't lost and it's kind of simultaneous in a way, lol.

I like this series. I adore mythology so I knew in some way I was going to like it and I did. It's just really short! Definitely continuing the series! :)

This was such an interesting take on Zeus and his fellow Olympians. Zeus' wife (and those of his brothers Poseidon and Hades) got annoyed with their philandering with the human population so they put a curse on the guys to stop them. Tons of years later, Hades finds a loophole and Zeus goes to earth to find his "spark". When he meets Cameron, he knows immediately that he is the one true soul for him. Cameron was a great character. He was driven towards his career and very supportive to his sister who is a single mother. He meets "Zachary" and is immediately taken with him. They start dating and Zachary/Zeus is such a sweetheart.

Of course things get crazy when Zeus has to tell Cameron about who he is and what his future could be. Zeus is used to taking what he wants and being the big bad ruler, but he realizes that he needs to be different to keep Cameron and he genuinely wants Cameron to be happy. There is mpreg in this, and I wish there was a bit more explanation about all of that. I also wish we saw a bit more of Zeus and Cameron once they were together in Olympus and how their lives turned out, but I'm hoping we will see more of them in the next books.

Very cool concept and I am really interested in reading more of these!
