I truly enjoy this series a lot. The spice mixed with the political intrigue and drama is very fun. I especially loved that Apollo is so kind and loving while still being dominant and sexy. I love that Cassandra is a force to be reckoned with and that at least Apollo always believes and sees her even if the others don't. Oh and of course I absolutely loved that Cassandra is plus-sized and beautiful!

This book was a lot more plot-heavy than the others in this series, and I feel like there were less sex scenes, too. It wasn't bad, by all means, and I really enjoyed the bi and fat rep in this book, as well as the smut that was in here. However, especially in the beginning I was so overwhelmed by all the names and the plot shenanigans that I lost track and I actually skimmed over quite a bit. I hope we get to see more of Apollo and Cassandra in the rest of the series, because I liked their dynamic, but overall I think this might have been my least favourite of the series.

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.

Mutual pinning ahhh. In love. Loved the characterisation of both Apollo and Cassandra. The underlining plot line is so good, cant wait for the next one.
