I liked this book, there were a few things that nearly made it a 3 star book for me. I hate when miscommunication or lack of communication is the conflict. Throwing a third into the relationship to fix it just seems so off and could have gone so wrong but of course it got plot armor and it didn’t. Literally it’s all Hades’ fault that Meg is hurting, she shouldn’t have to pester him and dig at him for information if that was forthright before. He got damn lucky Hercules is such a sweet man and dragged him out of his ass enough that he could see his mistakes. 

I did like that they all worked it out by mid-book and the sex scenes were *hot*. The ending felt very rushed, we got to the main conflict and I looked and I had 14 minutes left in the audiobook. This book DOES have a plot, it’s just not that complicated and not a main focus of the book. If that’s not your jam, then this book wouldn’t be for you! 

Hercules really carried this whole relationship which was funny considering he was supposed to be a pawn in Hades’ schemes. If it’d been like the Disney movie where Meg and Hercules rode off into the sunset, I wouldn’t have been mad about it. I love that we got to see a male sub, and find it funny that Hades and Meg kept referring to him as innocent when clearly he was pretty beyond that. 

Overall, fun read. Plenty of emotional turmoil and coming together, great throuple. Though Hades could have been left out of the HEA for all his dumbassery.
