The characters in this book fell in love so fast I got whiplash. Apparently the heroine has been reincarnated and they've all been waiting for her. The heroine meets them and feels the emotions of her previous life, so it's easy to fall in love with them after that. There's talk of gods and some great evil trying to wreck havoc but nothing comes out of it. It begs the question as to why that was even mentioned at all.
I got this for free, I wouldn't pay for it otherwise.

I was asked to read this book, that I write a review was not required.
However! When a book pulls you in and grabs you so much so you nearly missed your time stamp at work, you really should say a few words, shouldn't you??
This is book 2 in the Sons of Olympia trilogy, but you don't NEED to have read book one, Ravens, first. You SHOULD, because I said so, but not necessary. Both stand alones, but Brenna does pop in this one, on her own journey.
Lauren finds herself tied to a tree, in the middle of the woods, by the local high school bullies. That they aren't in high school anymore doesn't matter to them. Faced with spending her last days as such, Lauren doesn't expect to be rescued, not least by THREE guys who seem to know her! She doesn't feel afraid in their company, these men who tell her they know her SOUL from years gone by. Jasper, Zander and Greg are Spartan, of the 3oo warriors of legend. And since time began, they have loved Lauren, or a version of her, until one day she did not come home. And now, they really don't want to let her go.
Different from book one, in that, once Lauren is told who the guys are, and what they mean to her, and what she means to them, she does NOT run. She seeks them out, each time going to the woods by herself and her newly arrived puppy. She looks for their gifts each day, knowing that accepting them brings her closer to the men who are creeping their way into her heart. She faces a big decision, when her aunt and uncle tell her their news, but really, it's not a difficult decision, not when she knows who she wants.
I gave Ravens 5 stars cos it was hot hot HOT. While this one is also a 5 star read, I did find it not as explicit as book one. Sexy, yes, hot, yes, but quite as much as book one. Not a bad thing, not at all, just needed to mention it! I'm still harbouring some jealousy that these ladies can find THREE guys when I can't even bag one!
The Ravens are mentioned, when Lauren goes to talk to Jade about local legends, and the Brenna is having problems with them, but they play no part here. Also not a bad thing! The Ravens are also different in that they shift, the Spartans here do not.
Again I read this straight through without stopping and it didn't seem as long as Ravens, and when checking this, there is a hundred odd page difference.
I am assuming that book three, Architects, will be Jade's story. I hope so. I hope I get to read it, to see if she embraces those legends her grandma used to tell her.
Thank you, Ms Perry, for my copy.

Very creative story
A most unusual plot. I've never read anything remotely like it. Most reverse harem are girl meets boys and can't decide among them. The boys either don't mind sharing or do and have to be convinced. In this one the men are immortal warriors from Sparta who were granted immortality in exchange for protecting the Greek gods from invasion from other dimensions. They are already a thruple but still await the return of their fourth. She was sacrificed to the gods millennia ago and they await her reincarnation.
Very well written, the action was vivid and easy to imagine, the characters fully developed and immensely likable, and the pacing kept the action moving right along. I enjoyed it much more than I expected. I think you will too.

Lost love
Lauren is a person that stays away from trouble but it seems to find her. One evening her bullies from high school take her into the forest and tie her to a tree, no hope of getting loose. When some men come upon her and let her go from the ropes. They seem familiar, the three of them. Greg, Zander and Jasper know her but she doesn't understand. All is eventually revealed. Lauren has a choice to make. What will it be? Nice story

A slow moving book that had me skipping pages.
Warning : This book has MM sexual activity so if you aren't into that this book us not for you. The beginning of this book moved at a snail's pace. I jumped forward through the pages hoping to anything to keep my interest. Never happened. The plot was hard to follow and the protagonist unbelievable. All I can say is I'm glad it was free.

This was a good read with a unique story. I did get lost a little bit when talking about Sparta and the history but I didn't feel it detracted from the story. I actually read the second of the series first and both can be read as a standalone. I feel that there could have been a bit more romance between them, especially finding their long lost love. But I did enjoy this read and can see myself reading a second time.

Lauren is a girl That is left for death my some People. Pack of wolves appear. Then They go away and three gorgous men appear. They rescue Her.
Put in bed in their Home Lauren feels something for Them.
What will happen when Her insecurity kicks in? Will They manage to work it out?
This book had some name flaws, but we my cops was an early one I belive it was corrected.

It’s a little different but keeps your attention.
This book gets you hooked from the beginning. FIt gives you a hint of something to come, but doesn’t come back around to a full circle. I’m also not a fan of the ending. I feel like we are missing parts of the story. Maybe it comes around in book. I hope so!

September 29, 2018This book had less sexual encounters in it than the first but I like how it connected with the first one in a way. I hope there are more stories that follow up with these characters.
