I love how diverse and inclusive Katee Robert's books are when it comes to gender, sexuality, and relationships.  And of course, they're spicy as heck.  Cruel Seduction is primarily an enemies to lovers storyline, with some second chance romance in there as well.  I do feel like the characters were better developed in Cruel Seduction than in Radiant Sin.  I also appreciated the progress that was made regarding the background story of Olympus that is the undercurrent running through this series.  The rise in social unrest given the destabilization of the power of the Thirteen was a solid addition. 
My current theory/prediction is that Hermes is Minos's benefactor, which would devastate me because I loved her in the earlier books in the series, but it seems to make the most sense.
