An Amazing Mythical & Romantic Suspense Thriller
"From the ashes he was born and in the thunderous flames he will soon die. But not before branding her heart. Tayla Hampton thought she had escaped her past. She was wrong. It's caught up with her. Luckily she has a guardian angel...or something like that."
"Thaddeus Delos is not your ordinary protector. His mythical DNA is proof of that. Still he hungers like a hot-blooded man, loves fiercely and will protect Tayla with his life. Only that life isn't promised to him for much longer."
An amazingly AWESOME read! The back of the book doesn't begin to explain the wonderful tale that Mrs. A.C. Arthur spins for our entertainment and enjoyment. She pulls you into the tale from the first page and holds you captive until the very end. The characters have such depth and intrigue you can't help but become an instant believer in mythical beings and their realm. The intense heat and passion that Tayla and Thaddeus share with one another is definitely SIZZLIN', yet very heart-warming. The book is filled with greek mythology, some very hot and steamy love scenes, and a roller coaster ride of thrilling mystery and suspense. Thaddeus is definitely every woman's fantasy! And Tayla's character definitely has a strength that you will admire considering everything she sees and has to deal with throughout this novel. This book definitely goes beyond the realm of reality, and I'm glad I was able to experience this wonderfully, thrilling ride! There's so much more I want to say about this book, but I don't want to give too much away...I really believe you will NOT be disappointed...a definite MUST Read!

Best Mythical Story Ever
To say that things or people aren't always what they seem is an understatement. The Phoenix is one of the most beautiful creatures ever created.

Love this mix of mythology and modernity....as much as I love history, I wonder why it took so long for me to read this book. I have been passing this book up on the library shelves for a while. Thaddeus, the son of Poseidon, is ....WOW. If I could have someone visit from another realm, can it be him? Or at least another Phoenix? One thing that I liked was that Arthur gave me enough history and background but not so much to turn me off, if I were a novice to Greek myth. Definetly sexy enough for what we know of the Olympians and watch for cameos from Zeus and Poseidon.

Greek mythology and the modern era. I was so turned on by this intense connection. "From the ashes he was born and in the thunderous flames he will soon die. But not before branding her heart." To have a love that strong is 'almost' every woman's' dream. Will most definitely read this again in the future.

This was a mythological story and was a good story on love, betrayal and trust. It was a good story and made Me cry at the end.
