Electric Idol is the second in Robert’s Dark Olympus series and if you haven’t read Neon Gods yet I HIGHLY recommend it! It was one of my top books of the 2021. 

 

In this book we meet Psyche and Eros. Psyche is sister to Persephone and one of the many daughters of Demeter. Eros is the cold, hard weapon of Aphrodite. When Aphrodite puts a hit out on Psyche, the only way to keep her safe is to marry Eros. What can go wrong? 

 

I loved this book 😍The pacing was perfect and the smut was top shelf. I’ve come to realize a Katee Robert book is an instant read for me. I know I’m not getting into it for much of the plot, but it’s still there to hold enough interest that I don’t feel like I’m reading pure porn 😂 

 

I loved seeing the relationship develop between Psyche and Eros ❤️ I’ve never been a huge fan of their story until now to be honest. But a fake marriage trope always gets me. 

 

I also loved the plus size girl representation! So many books are focused on slim women or those with “perfect curves” when that’s just not reality. Women with different bodies deserve love and romance too! We as a community can and should do better 🖤

Compared to Neon Gods, Electric Idol is a rom-com, but in an incredibly hot way. The diversity in Katee Roberts books always blows me away,

as a curvy girl myself I always appreciate a curvy female m/c, and as a pansexual, seeing the represented in this book was incredible.

The love story between Eros/Cupid and Psyche has always been my favourite in all of Mythology.
It is essentially built on the love they have for one another without voluntary lies or deceit from either party, something that is very hard to come by. 
Although I truly loved the book I cannot help but with Katee had stuck more to their original storyline, where Psyche was forced into marrying Eros but she had no idea who he was or what he looked like, but had to form feelings for him based on his personality and not his incredible looks. I loved the idea of Psyche thinking she's fallen for a hideous monster only to find he was the god of desire all along. 
Despite this, I found their dynamic extremely lovable and unexpectedly sweet, it was clear for the beginning that they cared for one another, despite their resistance, and that manifested itself in the form of intense physical chemistry and a more subtle but strong emotional one. They both put themselves in harms way for the other and puts their partner's sentiments first. 
Though it was a stressful read as it was impossible to tell how they would pull off getting Aphrodite off their backs the ending was incredibly satisfying and really filled me with joy for them both.

4.5

Katee Robert is a favorite of mine. The initial book of this series, Neon Gods, is how I was introduced to the world of erotic romance literature. I was blown away and so had high hopes for this one…and it did not disappoint.
It was lovable, and yet thrilling at the same time. I found enjoyment in each page, and never wanted to put it down. The sacrifice and love Robert displays is artistically written for the reader to feel in the journey that is Eros and Psyches romance. 
The only reason I gave it a 4.5 rating is because of predictability. After reading Neon Gods, I knew what to expect, but the fact that I enjoyed it nonetheless, speaks volumes to Roberts craftsmanship.
