An Accidental Goddess by Linnea Sinclair
4.0
4 stars
Mack was definitely my favourite character in An Accidental Goddess. He was so thoughtful, forgiving and treated Gillaine with respect. Their romance was very cute, but I hated how long it took Gillaine to open up about her true identity. It felt like she was unnecessarily deceiving Mack and it only served to create more tension and conflict later on in the plot, all which could have been avoided. Not a huge fan of this 'hidden identity' trope, especially when the hero had proved himself trustworthy so many times over.
I also felt like this book was a lot more info-dumpy than [b:Finders Keepers|352725|Finders Keepers|Linnea Sinclair|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1408434463l/352725._SY75_.jpg|2873480], which made the start really confusing and hard to sieve through. The plot was also really strong right up until the end, and then just kind of fizzled out with a half conclusion/resolution? Considering it's a stand-alone novel, I didn't really understand why so many things were just left unanswered. Linnea could definitely have cut words from somewhere else to give us some solid conclusions.
In saying all of that, I really did enjoy the book and loved that it wasn't just chock-a-block filled with smut (rare among this genre).
