A fast paced short romance that plays with Greek mythology.

Despite the title of the book and the proclivities of the FMC, there's no spice at all.

Although alluded to throughout and a major plot point, everything happens off screen; fade to black.

This really does the narrative a disservice, since it's a key component between the MCs.

Still, it was a quirky little read that I enjoyed.

YMMV, of course.
