Aphrodite's Choice by Christy English
5.0
Aphrodite has walked the Earth for 9000 years. Through Egypt, Crete, Kyrios, Paris, she has been known by many names. She was placed on Earth to serve the Mother by spreading the blessing. By sleeping with different men, Aphrodite is able to heal them, however, the men always forget about her in the morning. Throughout time Aphrodite has met several men who she has felt that she truly loved, but she is unable to continue a relationship due to the nature of her blessing. Also, throughout time Aphrodite and her sisters have been hunted by those who believe that her blessing is witchcraft, calling themselves the Brotherhood of Light. Now, in Boston Aphrodite, who goes by Addy, is being hunted by the newest member of the Brotherhood, Steve. Steve is being threatened by the Brotherhood that if he does not kills Addy his family will be destroyed. Only Steve does not see any evil or malice in Addy, he sees something deeper, something that goes back thousands of years.
I absolutely loved the idea of the Gods and Goddesses still roaming the Earth completing their missions. Aphrodite’s choice is a unique blend of mythology, history and suspense. Aphrodite’s story was extremely interesting due to how her blessing had to be given. For her, sex truly is power, the power to heal; and she has healed countless times over her years. However, the Goddess of love can never truly love since the men will forget her after they are intimate; and, of course this is the one thing that Aphrodite wants the most. I enjoyed being able to see Aphrodite’s work blended into history in Ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, Cypres , Persepolis and then Versailles 1789 During the March of Versailles and Paris 1944 during World War II. Adventure, suspense and intrigue kicks in full gear as Steve and the Brotherhood are introduced. I knew there was something special about Steve right away, but I could have never guessed the connection that he and Aphrodite share. A sweet ending wraps up Aphrodite’s story and I cannot wait to read more about her sisters in upcoming Goddess Diaries.
