| Patricia owns her own antique store and she was shocked one morning to come downstairs to find a very handsome and injured man in her store. But the two beautiful black wings sprouting from his back captured her attention. His name is Nico and he’s a demigod that has been cursed by the goddess Hera. A few thousand years ago one of Hera’s girls fell in love with Nico and his friend Andreas, but the love was not returned. Hera cursed him to be a love slave, but with Patricia, he’s looking forward to being her slave. But to keep him, Patricia must find a way to break the curse.
Hot! Hot! Hot! It doesn’t get much hotter than this one. What woman doesn’t want a man to be her sexual slave and to put her pleasure first and foremost? And then comes Andreas who also adds a bunch of hot steam to Nico and Patricia’s relationship. Rebecca, is another support character in this story and she adds a touch of innocence to the story. I absolutely loved this story. I could not put the book down until the very end. And what an ending it was. As you are reading, your heart is breaking into pieces for Nico and Patricia’s doomed relationship. It is such a heart-wrenching story that will keep you fully engaged and completely engrossed until the very end. Nico and Patricia’s characters are very lifelike. At first Andreas’s character may have seemed a bit shallow, but otherwise he has an interesting personality. The constant cat and mouse game Nico and Andreas play with Patricia and Rebecca will keep you on your toes and your anticipation levels high. The traveling to new places will appeal to the adventurer in all of us. If you enjoy stories full of action, both in the bedroom and out, this is one story you will want to read.
