Grace's Challenge

Grace's Challenge is a story set in modern times; however, the people in the story worship the gods and goddesses of Ancient Greece. Grace is a sculptor who makes her living creating beautiful male sculptures for the Greek goddess Artemis. Artemis then turns these sculptures into real men and uses them as sex toys. Grace creates Darius, her best work yet. After a night on the town with her two best friends to celebrate the finishing of her latest creation, she comes home to find what she thought was a man sent by her friend to ease her sexual tension. In fact, it turns out to be her statue come to life.

After a night of wonderful, sensual, mind-blowing sex, Grace realizes who Darius is. So she devises a plan to create another sculpture to give to Artemis, hoping that Artemis would not find out about Darius because Darius is the best sex she has ever had and she doesn't want to give him up.

Over the next few weeks, as she is creating the replacement sculpture, she comes to discover that Darius is the kind of man every woman wants. He's considerate, loving, compassionate, and more. As good as the sex was in the beginning, it is getting better as their love for each other deepens.

Will Grace be able to fool the great goddess Artemis? Or will Artemis discover Grace's deception and take what Grace holds dearest to her heart?

Noemi De Leon writes a story with plenty of sex scenes that flow right along with the story. The way her friends and family support her in her time of crisis makes the story more lifelike. You will especially like the twist at the end of the story involving Apollo, Artemis' brother.

You forget that you are reading a fantasy story. The idea of combining the gods and goddesses of Ancient Greece with today's modern way of life is ingenious! You never see the amazing twist coming at the end. The explicit love scenes paint extremely vivid pictures in you mind. It's almost like it's happening to you! I give Grace's Challenge Four Hearts on the story and Five Hearts on the love scenes.
