Mortal Temptations
Demigods and the women who love them!
Patricia was startled when she found a handsome and wounded man in her antique store-but her interest was truly aroused when she saw his well-muscled back sporting two flowing black wings. He was Nico, son of a powerful deity, breaker of hearts, and cursed by the goddess Hera to spend eternity as a slave to female desire-drained, used, and cast aside time and again as a sex god. With Patricia, for the first time in three thousand years, he's looking forward to paying his dues. Now, if she could only free him...

I don't quite know where to start with this one. It was so unlike any book I've read, I'm not sure what I really thought of it. I've got to give it a pretty high rating for holding my interest, but parts of it were a little out of my comfort zone. But I'm glad I read it, and I think I may have even learned a little bit about mythology and archaeology, two subjects I don't know much about. Sexually, this book was all over the place: two pretty hot male/female romances, a m/f/m menage scene, and a handful of m/m scenes as well. Add to that a demigod hero who was part man, part winged creature, his best friend (also a demigod) who had the ability to shift into a snow leopard, and a vengeful Greek goddess who cursed them both for eternity (preventing them from ever finding a woman who would love them forever), and a couple of academic-type heroines who are sexually awakened by the demigods, and you have one very unusual but often times exciting romance. This may not have been quite my cup of tea, and it definitely wasn't a typical romance, but I can imagine someone who's into the whole mythology and Indiana Jones vibe this book sometimes had, and is not bothered by the heroes having a sexual relationship not only with the heroines, but with each other, well, I can imagine them loving this one.
Basically the story is that Patricia, owner of an antiques store, meets Nico, handsome, winged demigod, one day when he's lying on the floor of her store, bruised and unconscious. She's not at all bothered by the fact that he has two enormous black wings coming out of his well-muscled back. She's a psychic, she's used to creatures of the night, she can read auras, knows he's not human but he doesn't seem evil. She finds out that he's in her store looking for an ostracon, which is basically a piece of stone with ancient writing on it. This ostracon may be the key to freeing him and his good buddy Andreas from the curse that Hera, a Greek goddess, placed on them. Hera placed the curse on them to teach them the difference between lust and love. Thousands of years ago Nico and Andreas were huge playboys, lusting after women, taking what they wanted, and then moving on, often leaving the women with broken hearts. Now with Hera's curse, they were to spend eternity as slaves to female desire, used for sex and then cast aside by women, never to be loved or even remembered. But this ostracon, if it can be located and then the writings and hieroglyphics interpreted, may hold the key to freeing them from the curse. Patricia, Nico, and Andreas enlist the help of a shy, pretty, slightly frumpy young grad student and Professor of Egyptology, Rebecca Trimble. With her help interpreting the ostracon, they go on a journey that takes them all the way to Egypt, where they end up facing off with Hera herself. Along the way, Patricia and Nico become more and more attracted to each other, and think they are falling in love. Surprisingly, the gruff Andreas and the shy Rebecca are heading that way too. There's a couple of hot and somewhat explicit love scenes, including a menage scene between Nico, Patricia, and Andreas, and a couple of m/m scenes between Nico and Andreas. Ultimately Nico has to pass a test to prove that his love for Patricia is true, or he will never be free of the curse. But will his sacrifice for Patricia be enough to set him free, and provide a future for him and Patricia?
Like I said, this isn't a typical romance, so if you like your romances 'typical', this isn't the book for you. If you're looking for something different, then this one certainly fills the bill. I liked all the major players in this book, but especially found Nico very sweet, sexy, and endearing, and Andreas was the little bit pessimistic, sexy, alpha bad boy. If you know nothing about mythology, you may find it a little confusing at first, but the author does a pretty good job explaining about all the various gods and goddesses mentioned, and their connection to the story. The story does have a pretty exciting climax, and a sweet, satisfying HEA with a 'love conquers all' theme. This one started out very exciting, dragged just a bit in the middle, but then picked up a full head of steam towards the exciting conclusion. I liked it well enough that if this book becomes a series, I will check out the next installment--4 stars.
Warning: this book is sexually explicit, with scenes of oral and anal sex, m/f/m menage, and a few m/m scenes. Not for the faint of heart.

3 ½ stars – Paranormal Romance/Erotica/Ménage
Mortal Temptations is a paranormal erotic romance with a really cool, unique premise and fascinating characters. A couple of demi-gods who royally pissed off the goddess Hera have been cursed to spend eternity serving as pleasure slaves at the demand of whatever woman is attracted enough to them to get caught up in the web of their spell.
New York antiques dealer and psychic Patricia Lake is surprised when she discovers an unconscious, wounded man in her store, but she’s even more shocked by the fact that the tall, dark, muscular, sexy, and mysterious man has a powerful set of black wings emerging from his beautiful, sculpted back. What’s even more startling is the inexplicable attraction and pull she feels towards the demi-god hunk with the sensual wings that amazingly materialize from a tattoo on his upper back.
Nico, son of a deity, was a notorious playboy and heartbreaker and subsequently punished by the goddess Hera for his lothario ways. For the past three thousand years he’s endured a cruel curse that makes him a slave to female desire and results in him being used at whim, experiencing perpetual unrequited love, and suffering repetitive heartbreak. Now with Patricia, Nico feels the pull of the spell stronger than ever before and for once is actually enjoying being a woman’s pleasure slave, but he’s dreading the day she’ll eventually cast him aside as the spell demands. Together, can they find the ancient artifacts that hold the key to ending Nico’s curse so that they can be free to be together, forever, without the manipulation and interference of Hera’s spell?
There’s also some m/f/m ménage and m/m action mixed in with Nico’s best demi-god friend and fellow curse sufferer, Andreas, who’s a snow leopard shifter. Add to that a secondary romance between rugged, gruff, alpha Andreas and shy, nerdish, bookworm, academic, Egyptologist Rebecca who the group seeks out to help unravel the relic’s secrets in an effort to break Hera’s curse.
I was really captivated by the book’s concept, chock-full of interesting references to gods, goddesses, and mythology, and I liked the intriguing characters, especially Nico. I mean, it doesn’t get much hotter than a sexy, sweet, beta hunk with a majestic pair of exotic black wings with soft, sensuous feathers that he can use for flying, to encircle, hold, and protect a woman in his arms, as well as provide erotic pleasure...yowza! And I think it’s wicked awesome that the wings emerge from a tattoo of a black pair of wings on his back. Of course, a shifting snow leopard is pretty cool too. There’s lots and lots of sex in this of all varieties, including some m/f/m ménage and mild m/m action.
I enjoyed the first 160 or so pages, but then the story started dragging. The scenes with the foursome searching for ancient artifacts and answers in Egypt should have felt adventurous, but there was just too much crammed in and the plot seemed to get bogged down. I think my biggest complaints were the choppy pacing and that the story felt too long, even though it’s only 295 pages. Still, I really liked the book’s unusual premise, the interesting characters, and the verrrry hot (and frequent) sex, and I was entertained enough that I’ll read the next book, Mortal Seductions that’s slated for release in Sept’09. 3 ½ stars.

Hmmm, how to rate "Mortal Temptations" by Allyson James? I really enjoy her 'Dragon' series, but I must say that this read left me, well...not cold, but not hot either.
Patricia has always been psychic and able to 'read' auras, so she's always up for a little something unusual. However, finding a man with a broken wing in her antique store may be just a bit more than a little unusual. But boy howdy, he sure is hot!
Nico is the son of a god and cursed by Hera to be a slave to female desire (and why can't I ever find these guys?) but never know real love. He's attracted to Patricia and a little surprised, it's not often a mortal takes his wings in stride. But when Patricia becomes involved in trying to help them break their curse, Nico and his partner in the curse Andreas (who turns into a snow leopard by the way), soon realize that now Patricia has been brought to the notice of the gods...and this has never been a winning situation for mortals!
There is a LOT of hot sex in this book...oral, anal, vaginal; with toys and without; light bondage; sex with one, two, and three; and in just about every position I could think of! There's mono, hetero, and homo sex to boot! The only part left out was girl/girl and I think that's only because this is marketed towards hetero women. Is that enough sex for you?
It wasn't the sex that was the problem in this book. For me at least, it was the lack of any real relationship building...feeling-wise. I get the lure of the curse, but still don't buy a fairly goody-two-shoes suddenly turned pseudo sex kitten/dominatrix. And with all the push/pull between the three main characters, I just didn't 'feel' the love. But hey, maybe it's just me.

I am rating this based on the good reads scale; 2 stars it was "ok"
In the beginning, the idea of a winged creature dropping in was compelling, but the fact that Patricia accepted it as if it were nothing more unusual than spilled milk was a bit disconcerting.
Curse or not, I did not understand what made Nico feel that Patricia was so different from all of the other women that the curse had ensnared. I also found it hard to believe that Rebecca would just follow the group around so easily as a favor to a complete stranger. Finally, I really did not like was, when Patricia was having a solo moment there at the end, waiting to be rescued, she was fantasizing about Andreas as well as Nico - something just put me off about that.
At several points the book got a little boring. I found myself wondering about too many random things like, 'what kind of club did they own?' I actually skimmed a lot especially towards the end as it just seemed to go on and on with the details in what seems like an effort to fill the pages...I just skipped to the "meat" and trimmed the "fat."
There were some good moments here and there - as said, it was ok.

OMG. HOT. HOT. HOT. This is the best erotica book I've ever read. Nico, a demi-god/angel, is cursed as a pleasure slave doomed to fall in love and get rejected over and over again. His best friend, Andreas, a demi-god/were-leopard is cursed as well. Patricia is a mere human. She is in love with Nico and has amazing sex with both Nico and Andreas.
A good amount of M/F/M sex scenes very sexy and pretty blatant. I sincerely hope Allyson James writes more books in this vein. Truly wonderful.

❤ ❤.461 (an usual rating for an unusual book)
Different. That's how I'd describe this book. It's a 295 page amalgamation of the most miscellaneous things. Firstly, there are two captive demigods. Nico, our hero, is half angel, half human, son of Dionysus and a nymph. Andreas is the son of Zeus and a snow leopard who can shift into a human form. Hera is the spiteful goddess who cursed the pair a couple millennia ago for their lustful ways. Bes is a lesser Egyptian God who helps during the mission to break the curse. Demitri is a tiger shape-shifter/demigod and friends with Nico and Andreas (focus of book #2). Patricia, our heroine, is a physic antiques dealer, cat owner (love cat owners) and the most self-composed and weird women ever. Rebecca is a nerdy postdoc archeologist who can translate hieroglyphs and is thrown in as a love interest for the subplot. She's also fairly weird. But then again the whole book is weird.
So the plot is this: Nico and Andreas' curse is that they are slaves to female desire. They must pleasure every women who desires them (I guess?) until the women grows bored and casts them aside. Nico and Andreas (I assume) fall a little in love with each women and are left heartbroken after each affair. I'm not sure the particulars of the curse were that clear. Anyway, Nico breaks into Patricia's antique shop hoping to find an ostracon which they believe holds the key to ending the curse. When Nico meets Patricia he wants her instantly but knows it can only end with his heartbreak. As they grow closer, Nico and Patricia, with the help of Andreas and Rebecca fight off demons during an around the world search for answers.
This is definitely a paranormal erotic romance novel with a healthy dose of sex including M/F, M/M {an implied M/M/M}, M/F/M and even a snow leopard/F scene. Most encounters of the 'unconventional' are limited to one or two scenes but they are distinct moments, namely the male/male ardor. The first M/M scene was a bit uncomfortable. My eyebrows were approaching my hairline and my eyes might have been a bit on the buggy side. I don't have a vast M/M reading background so I'm not sure how I feel about it in general. I don't prefer it but I can read it. The second time the M/M action happens it's awkward so I snickered and snorted until it turned into full out guffawing. It was funny. See?
I'm not convinced that my discomfort and subsequent laughter falls into a case of whether or not I enjoyed or was embarrassed by M/M action. I think the scenes were fumbled into with comical writing and the results were tawdry, silly and feckless.
There were other things I didn't like or believe in this book and that made it so much less enjoyable and sometimes even absurd. Patricia, as I mention is literally the most self-composed character I've ever read. In the middle of the night she rushes from her apartment upstairs to her antique shop below and discovers a winged-man creature bleeding and unconscious on the floor. She bandages him up, grabs a pillow and covers him with a blanket, letting him sleep. She doesn't call the cops or even squeak out a sound of shock or distress. In the morning when he wakes she just wants to know a few details about who he is and why he's there. Do what?!? Then after about 40 pages it gets more bizarre. The first 'sex' scene occurs when Nico is teaching Patricia how to masturbate, something she's never done. Nico doesn't touch her, but uses his feathers to penetrate her. Patricia calls this their first date! In another scene Patricia asks winged Nico if he can fly and fuck her at the same time. It just comes out of nowhere and is unnecessarily crude. There are several other lines or moments, including Rebecca saying she draws the (sex) line at leopards, that made me think I should just stop reading.
The author's writing style is recognizably Allyson James/Jennifer Ashley. For some readers I'd suspect they'd find her writing to be substandard. Still others will find no fault at all. In my experience her writing can be a bit slack and unusual and simultaneously sexy and enjoyable. I have, in the past, liked, loved and disliked her books. This book was such a bizarre bundle of oddities that I don't really know how to rate it. If I happen to find the succeeding books from this series I'll read them but mostly for the cheap (sometimes bawdy) thrill.

Nico woke up a few hours later, snug in a nest of his two snoring friends...lying with bare bodies touching for warmth and reassurance, like littermates." *Guffaws*

Gah! What do I say about this....?
I love it when a book literally throws you into the middle of the plot... that first line hits you, and you devour the rest. Well, the first hits in this book, but it leaves you feeling as though you missed a hell of a lot of plot and it never makes up for that loss.
Patricia is far too accepting of the angel on her floor. She fixes his wing as though he is mortal and digests his secrets as though they were his shoe size! No amount of "I'm psychic" can write this off. She would still question his WINGS!!
Certain use of words really had me frowning and questioning why. For example - "Unlocking a bra" This is wholly inaccurate - unless Patricia's breasts are under lock and key. Why not use "unfasten"? Where is the problem with that?
The plot is why I'm giving it 2 stars because at least that was vaguely interesting, though I couldn't actually force myself to finish this book. There are far too many others that I don't need to battle with.
The sexual elements of the plot just didn't work for me. Even though both men had been cursed to pleasure women, the way they speak to Patricia would have deserved a slap or two, not an "strip and take me".
Disappointed.... very disappointed.
I love it when a book literally throws you into the middle of the plot... that first line hits you, and you devour the rest. Well, the first hits in this book, but it leaves you feeling as though you missed a hell of a lot of plot and it never makes up for that loss.
Patricia is far too accepting of the angel on her floor. She fixes his wing as though he is mortal and digests his secrets as though they were his shoe size! No amount of "I'm psychic" can write this off. She would still question his WINGS!!
Certain use of words really had me frowning and questioning why. For example - "Unlocking a bra" This is wholly inaccurate - unless Patricia's breasts are under lock and key. Why not use "unfasten"? Where is the problem with that?
The plot is why I'm giving it 2 stars because at least that was vaguely interesting, though I couldn't actually force myself to finish this book. There are far too many others that I don't need to battle with.

This book is good if you are into the really spicy type of sex. I picked it because it seemed to have a black girl on the front, the guy had what appeared to be wings and it was on my list of books to read. What I got was an incorrect book cover, the guy has wings, however, he is not an angel and WAY more graphic menage than I have ever read. I think that if you are into menage then you will enjoy it. However, I had only read M/F/M menage in the past and it was a novella. The story itself was pretty decent, which is one of the reasons why I finished the book at all (the other being that I bought it and I have emptied my book buying fund until next payday). Once again, if you are into the really spicy stuff, you will enjoy it, however, the most spicy I have ever had has been Lora Leigh's breeds and this tops them by a mile.

I would definitely start here by saying this book was more erotica than romance novel. As with a lot of erotica I've read the characters felt a bit flat. Mostly the female leads though, I actually really liked the two main male characters. As a whole though I didn't love it, but I was definitely entertained and would read more in the series. Due warning though, there is a few scenes here involving two men so if that isn't your cup of tea I would reconsider adding this to your tbr.

Good read [with requisite hot guys:] but lacked the depth of setting [San Francisco's Chinatown:] you find in her dragon books. Dragon Heat, Black Dragon, and The Dragon Master were all quite wonderful [FYI AJ is a pen name for Jennifer Ashley.:]

Weak storyline but 5 stars for hotness..
Want to read
August 16, 2020I love reading about Greek myth and about the God's and Goddesses. Also I am wondering if anyone ever read adult romance book about Gaea and a mortal doctor, and their romance takes place in a jungle? If anyone know about it can they please send the name with the author?

The FMC has a non-reaction to a winged man being unconscious in her store and I immediately felt as though I'd missed something important that would explain why she just rolled with it. That feeling never went away. 🤷🏽♀️

Very good, I'd love to read about many more Demi-gods like this story has. I felt the heartbreak of Nico and Andreas.

Loved this book! I have read it several times! Very enjoyable read!

More pornography than erotica, and more farcical than fantasy, but trip to Cairo was a bit of fun.

The story involves two demi-gods from the Greek pantheon, one a “winged man” - Nico, the other a shifter - Andreas. They have spent millennia trapped in a wicked curse placed on them by Hera. The premise of the curse: when a women is attracted to one or the other, a bond forms and the gods must become the female’s sexual slave. The women will use the men up while the men fall in love with the females. Once the woman is tired of the gods, the curse will cause her to leave the male and forget him, while the gods wither in pain from a broken heart. Not a bad idea to “get back” at ones who were careless with women’s hearts.
But of course, this time around, things are different... Nico and Andreas think that they have discovered a means to end the curse. And wouldn’t you know that along the way they meet Patricia and Rebecca... two women that may have been drawn to the gods because of the curse, but fall in love despite of it.
The story takes the group to London and Egypt on a search for answers. They meet other deities and duel with Hera’s demon fighters. The story is fairly fast paced and the plot not too bad.
I’ll admit that I picked up this book specifically looking for an “erotic” story. I have been enjoying paranormal romance books for well over a year now, and recently learned of the “erotic” sub-genre. I wondered... what would make a book erotic, and in this book’s case it is a lot of m/m/f and m/m sex. And as much of a fan of great smut that I am, I have to tell you, this book’s sex scenes didn’t do it for me. It wasn’t because of the erotic nature or multiple partners. It was that they didn’t have heart in them. Romance novels revolve around “true love” or “happily ever afters” and the sex is usually a result of that core principle. In this story, there was a lot of passionate-less sex that did not promote the love story of the book. And this became tiresome quickly.
One annoying thing that I have to quickly mention... Are you familiar with the word quim? Well, I had never heard the term, and it is used frequently in the book. It didn’t take long to figure out what it meant, but come on... this word is so obsure and dated... My Kindle didn’t even have it in it’s dictionary! It wasn’t found in the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary! I found this definition at dictionary.com:
quim [kwim:] –nounSlang: Vulgar. vagina; vulva.
Origin: 1725–35; orig. obscure
So now you know.
Overall a quick read. If you want some adventurous m/m/f sex, check it out. The plot is a fairly good one.
My rating: 3 Stars.

Okay... First off, I owe Allyson a REALLY big apology because she sent me this book a long time ago but I moved and things in my life got crazy so I had to track down the books she sent me so I could post the reviews since she sent them to me in exchange for a review, so Allyson I am REALLY sorry and I will get the other reviews up for Mortal Seductions and Wedding Favors up soon!
Mortal Temptations is the first book in the Mortal series.
Okay so, holy crap. If I could sum Mortal Temptations in a single word it would be BRAVE. Allyson really steps out of the comfort zone box and dives right into the squirm in your seat prod at your buttons kind of testing zone. I have to hand it to Allyson because she really takes EROTICA to a whole new level in this book and she does it without any restraint. You have to respect that kind of writing because it takes a lot of talent to pull off so flawlessly and without shame. I also give her mad props because she embraces writing for both M/F and the M/M, M/F/M fans.
Be aware, the sex scenes in this book are HOT. Like blisteringly explicitly hot.
That being said, I felt the story was more or less written around its sex scenes but if you can look beyond that and open your mind and comfort level to the creativity of who and what the characters are there is so much more uniqueness to be found. (Although there is an odd scene with the feathers. Find out for yourself.)
I have never read a book like this one before.
It is really hard to find a book that stands out so much as this one did because when an author writes about gods and the like its usually along the same mythology the same type of characters or "stereotyping" but Allyson has done none of those. She has created something completely new, and completely special.
However there were a few things that I felt weren't quite.. I'm not sure if "believable" is the word for it but it certainly made me think and tested my comfort levels on more than one occasion.
It really managed to give me a whole new respect for her writing talent and her capability to create something that really stands out.
There could have been more history or mythology written in to fill out more back story for the characters but what content was already added was already overwhelming as it is so I have to admit that anymore information to take in might have blown a readers mind.
I'm half way into the second book in the series and I can tell you that its going to be just as hot as the first!
Thank you Allyson for allowing me to read your work! You are a brilliant writer!

There was nothing "tempting" about this story. And the only thing "mortal" about it was it showing the truth about how sick & utterly twisted some mortals can be. Mainly the one who wrote this. Nothing interesting about it except maybe ( that's a small maybe) the brief references and limited info concerning the greek myths, gods, goddesses, etc.. This story was all over the place. Allyson had no clue where she wanted, needed, or should have gone with this book.
Love scenes- nothing erotic or emotional about these. In a word SICK!!!
There is nothing heart warming, love felt, erotic or sensual & sexy about watching and requesting the love of your life to have all kinds of kinky anal and oral sex with his best friend. (who is a guy by the way) Moving on...
I'm utterly insulted that the two females in this story are well accomplished, driven intelligent beautiful women, yet they find these men or demigods participation in these acts not only mind blowingly sexy but unable to deny. WHATEVER.. The dialogue in most cases sucked. I'm really ticked off cuz just when I thought this story was about to redeem itself, something completely off the wall and again sick, would happen and ruin it. PLEASE, PLEASE HEED MY ADVICE AND DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK! Lots of pointless m/f/m & m/m sex scenes. The Plot is simple.
This whole book leaves you left with a simple question WHY? And feeling drained, as if you've finished watching a 4 hour movie you didn't understand. To sum this one up UGH!!! And I mean that.

WOW. Just WOW!
This book sizzles off the page. Who wouldn't be entranced by the hottest fallen angel with skills like that. Though I find it hard to believe she's as immune to his curse and the author would like you to believe it definitely makes for a good story. Her scenes are tasteful yet dramatic but lack somewhat in their description; I understand there's only so many descriptions for the same body parts but it would be nice if maybe there was a change up in the schedule for each one as you can probably write them yourself after reading the first few.
There's a lot of adventure going on in this series and though this first book gets you into the mood of mortals and others mixing it's not the hottest of the series by far - why I've only given it 4 instead of 5 stars. James certainly gets her hot scenes right, but it's the outside bones that are important to make the story stand. I wouldn't want to try and read this as a standalone, you'll be disappointed, but if you plan on finishing the series it's essential to getting the basics in or you'll be confused in the later books.

Psychic antiques dealer, Patricia, hears noises in her store downstairs and finds it damaged and an unconscious man with a broken wing. She is not frightened for his aura is not evil. She mends his wing and when he awakens, he asks her about an ostracon that he heard was in her store. The ostracon is a stone tablet fragment with hieroglyphs. The hieroglyphs may be part of a clue to breaking a curse that has been put on him and his friend. Nico and his friend, Andreas, are demigods cursed to pleasure women and fall in love with them until the women tire of them and send them away, breaking their hearts. This has gone on for thousands of years. Patricia determines to help them and finds a hieroglyphics specialist, Rebecca to help with the translating. This is an erotic tale filled with battles between the gods, supernatural challenges and a search for an end to the curse, leading from NYC to London to Egypt. Two couples tested to their limits and many hot love scenes. M/F, M/M, and three way.

3 1/2 stars. Psychic antique dealer Patricia Lake discovers a being with a broken wing unconscious in her store one night and her life is never the same. Nico Stanopoulos is a demigod and, along with his partner Andreas (who can morph into a snow-leopard), has been cursed by the goddess Hera to be sex slaves to women who ultimately cause them pain. Their search for a way to break the curse leads them to Patricia and she joins them in their quest even as Nico discovers that his attraction to her goes far beyond the obligations of his curse. An additional scholar is consulted and Andreas also discovers that he is bonding to a female but both males must decide whether the danger to the females they have come to care for outweighs the opportunity to break free from their curse. Enjoyable eroticism but much of the action in the latter portion of the book is a bit erratic and inconsistent. Good light read.

...and let me explain my high review bc some of my friends will say WHAT??? Fair WARNING-this is an erotic PNR, thus language, plot, characterization, depth, m/f/m, m/m/m, etc...nuff said...
I enjoyed this book bc it's the perfect book for my treadmill, ie, fun-sweet-romantic-light in plot + hot-erotic-sexiness. Only Allyson James can put 3 male demigods in one bed and called it a comforting-act...and I believed it too, lol. Told you it was a fun read.
Naughty demigods, Nico & Andreas, had their wild ways and broke one heart too many, punished by Hera to experience brokenheart over and over and over again as sex slaves. Typical love v's lust, hence sweetness plus lots and lots of naughtiness. That said, there was a dash of mystery making this a fast-paced too.
Like I said, if you're looking for a quick-fun-naughty read, this is it. If not, don't demote me bc I enjoyed it, LOL.

I was disappointed in this book. It looked to be pretty interesting based on the blurb on the back cover, but I thought the book was mostly about the sex between the main characters and the plot suffered for it. I thought delays in the plot were used solely for the purpose of having Nico and Patricia, Andreas and Rebecca, Patricia, Nico and Andreas and Nico and Andreas have sex with each other in various combinations.
I also didn't feel much sexual chemistry between Nico and Patricia and even less between Andreas and Rebecca. I also thought some of the dialogue was a bit too glib.
In addition, I felt the introduction of Bes, a lesser Egyption god was used as a deus ex machina. He made it possible for everything to come out right in the end by his use of his powers.
I thought this book was okay, but I thought the story kind of dragged. I wouldn't really recommend it unless you prefer your books with mostly sexual content and little plot.

Stars: 5
Overall: This is what paranormal romances are all about. This books takes you on a wild adventure, while also giving you a lot of fun steamy "romantic" sex. I think my face stayed tomato red throughout the whole book because of all the erotic love scenes. Ms. James's way of writing had me wishing that i was Patricia or Rebecca or what matter, I'm not picky. I do have a few complaints about the book. 1. I wish that Andreas and Rebecca had more book time. I felt that their story was a fun one and i would've love to explore it. 2. I really wish that Nico would've talked to Patricia A LOT more because i think things could've been WAY different if he would've just opened up those beautiful lips. 3. Did they become mortal or immortal damn it!
Characters: Patricia & Nico ; Becky & Andreas ( side romance )
Page Turner: YES!!!
Series Cont: Yes
Recommend: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book

I think I finally figured it out. This author's style of writing and I don't get along. I liked this book. But was left disappointed again. Third series that this has happened. Man I was hoping that even though the reviews weren't great that I would like it anyway. That happens for me sometimes. Yeah not so much here. It has major potential and then it just became annoying. The characters by midway through started getting on my nerves.
I mean the deal with Nico and Andreas and later even Demetri was like WTH?? That came out no where. I didn't even realize that was where the author was going in this book. The way it was done was kinda .....strange I guess. I have read other books about threesomes so that wasn't it. Just I don't even know. I just didn't care for it and at this point felt the book may have been better without it. Loved the brotherly love but come on really??

If you are looking for something hot and spicy to read this is it. But if you need plot with your smex, ha ha...this is not the book for you. This book is about 2 demigods, one angelic with wings, Nico, and one leopard shapeshifter, Andreas. They were cursed by the Goddess Hera to fall in love with what ever woman they met, crave sex with them, then feel the pain when the curse makes the woman leave them. Enter Patricia and Rebecca, determined to show them that they cannot be controlled by the curse. They set out to help them break the curse. There is M/F, M/M, M/F/M, and a hint of M/M/M. I enjoyed this book and cannot wait to read the next one in the series.
