Bound to the Battle God by Ruby Dixon

4.0

4 Stars!

This book was long...and slow but so funny!

Our Heroine, Faith, keeps hearing weird noises from the apartment next to hers. When she decides to check on the noise one night, she falls into a whole other world. There she is, in her nightgown, in a place that is nothing like earth. She's sold as a slave before she offers herself as the anchor to the Battle God.

Aron, God of Storm and Battle, is an aspect, and he needs an anchor to stay alive on the mortal lands. When Faith offers herself as his anchor, he's glad—or as glad as the arrogant god can be. After Faith and Aron are attacked, they escape and start their journey through the mortal world.

"He sniffs my hair again, and I wonder if he's hard right now. Is he overcome with lust for me? "You smell bad," Aron says. "When was the last time you bathed?" Man, fuck this guy."

The bickering between Aron and Faith was hilarious! Faith was never afraid to speak her mind, and Aron's arrogance made their dialogue so much fun to read. I laughed out loud multiple times. As I mentioned before, this is a real slow-burn romance. There was almost no romance until I was halfway through the book. However, there were cute scenes between these characters and hilarious dialogue, and that's what kept me reading.
