Lightning Strikes by C.J. Vincent

4.0

This was such an interesting take on Zeus and his fellow Olympians. Zeus' wife (and those of his brothers Poseidon and Hades) got annoyed with their philandering with the human population so they put a curse on the guys to stop them. Tons of years later, Hades finds a loophole and Zeus goes to earth to find his "spark". When he meets Cameron, he knows immediately that he is the one true soul for him. Cameron was a great character. He was driven towards his career and very supportive to his sister who is a single mother. He meets "Zachary" and is immediately taken with him. They start dating and Zachary/Zeus is such a sweetheart.

Of course things get crazy when Zeus has to tell Cameron about who he is and what his future could be. Zeus is used to taking what he wants and being the big bad ruler, but he realizes that he needs to be different to keep Cameron and he genuinely wants Cameron to be happy. There is mpreg in this, and I wish there was a bit more explanation about all of that. I also wish we saw a bit more of Zeus and Cameron once they were together in Olympus and how their lives turned out, but I'm hoping we will see more of them in the next books.

Very cool concept and I am really interested in reading more of these!
