I had seen Milena McKay's books pop up on my Goodreads feed for a few months and finally decided to give her a try. When I saw that she had a Valentine themed novella, I grabbed it as I thought it would be a good introduction to her writing and let me see if I enjoyed her stuff as much as everyone else seemed to.
Unfortunately, for me, this was not a perfect match. This has an interesting and original premise and is definitely tongue in cheek; but, I had a hard time connecting to the characters and the writing in this one, and almost felt that it was a bit too tongue in cheek.
Despite this one falling a bit flat for me, I did pick her other her books. I absolutely adored Ms McKay's first novel, The Delicate Things We Make, and have her second novel queued up on my Kindle.

What a fun read this was. It also had something interesting to say about letting go and moving on.

Cute angsty little novella
I really loved this, it was cute, angsty and sexy. I wish it was longer because I would have loved to have seen more of this universe.

This was really cute and fun. I love the bits of mythology and Greek gods we got peppered in there too.

Ohhh, I wasn't aware of this story until I saw it in a newsletter and boy! what a pleasant surprise. I loved it and even though it was obviously short it didn't feel like it.
I love me some romance with a touch of mythology or full of it and I mean, would I complain if there was a longer version or continuation of this one? Never, but I feel completely satisfied with what Milena delivered nonetheless.
Both MC were just the best to watch, with Aphrodite being just the icing on the cake, and they got me with a goofy smile plastered on my face during the whole thing. I'm waiting
