Gah! Well, I will say one thing...thank GOD I waited until this bad boy was released in one book because the wait between installments would have killed me!! Owned by the Billionaire is the full book (with bonus content!) for what was previously released as the Richer Than God trilogy.
Brigit is supposed to marry her uncle in an arranged marriage she is being forced into. To try to escape this fate, she runs off to the one place she can think of that will hopefully grant her protection - Olympus - one of the largest brothels in the city. And this is where our hero, Zues, is the owner.
I've been gobbling up dark romance lately, and this one was no different. I love a forced marriage trope...throw in some prostitution and dark vibes and I'm down! I also adored watching Zeus very slowly reveal his vulnerability to Brigit.
And be warned that this book is SUPER STEAMY! Probably the steamiest I've read from this author yet. Let's just say that Zeus like to put his D anywhere he can...
All in all, this was a dark, raw romance with a fierce heroine and a heart pounding love story. TW's for addiction as well as dark themes in general.
I cannot wait to read Poseidon and Hade's story hopefully soon!
I received an e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
"I would like to hurt her for a hundred years. Until every bit of her is on display for me."

"This was the worst kiss. She has no skill whatsoever. But it's also the best, most earnest kiss, and I want a thousand of them. A million. A f*cking infinity of this first-kiss nonsense."

Owned by the Billionaire
Written by: Amelia Wilde
Fans of Amelia Wilde rejoice, in Owned by the Billionaire we get the complete trilogy of Zeus and Bridgit’s beginning, middle and end; and what a wild(e) ride readers will go on as they work their way through the mayhem and beauty that is Zeus and Bridgit. This way there is no waiting for each new book and I can guarantee that you need to own this one.
I read the stories in this trilogy when they originally came out, but I purchased this book because Author Amelia Wilde has not only put Zeus and Bridgit’s story into one book, she has added more chapters and goes beyond the end of Darker Than Night.
It gives loyal (and new) readers a view as to what has happened since we last saw our favorite Alpha’s as well as the women who love them and make them better men. Do not pass up getting these extra chapters, as they are everything and more than you could ask for!

Owned by the Billionaire is the Richer Than Sin Trilogy all in one!
I devoured this set in one night and was addicted to the characters and story from the start.
This book follows Brigit who is being forced into an arranged marriage to her uncle. To try to escape this fate, she runs off to Olympus, one of the largest brothels in the city. Here she meets Zeus the owner.
This book is STEAMY, dark at times, full of action and twist but it was addicting. You just need to know what's going to happen next. The relationship that Brigit and Zeus had was full of passion and I adored reading it.

The Richer Than God Trilogy! And, once you read this, you'll feel rich as well!
Zeus and Brigit, both, amazing character builds! Shouldn't love Zeus, but how can one resist this bad-boy alpha! Not this reader!
The hot scenes, were Hawt indeed!
Ms. Wilde knows how to capture her readers and leave them oh, so, satisfied, yet, clamoring for more!
This is on my TBRx2 shelf!

This is the Richer Than God Trilogy that is repackaged and combined in one book. A great solution since it was frustrating in the previous books to have cliffhangers and wait to find out what happened.This is a dark romance that is intense and emotional. Brigit takes refuge from her father and uncle at Olympus knowing that they will never find her there. Zeus is a dark alpha who an amazing character and is in the business of selling women. There's something different about Brigit. This book is dark, passionate and dreary at times but it will keep you glued to your seat and page turning. Well written with strong, complex characters. Full of danger, drama and suspense. Emotional, dark an overflowing with tension. I read an advance copy via valentine an voluntarily chose to review it.

Owned by the Billionaire by Amelia Wilde is the Richer Than God Trilogy box set. I am so happy that this Trilogy has been set up in a box set for a 'one stop shop'. I love have them all together. This tells the story of Brigit and Zeus. Brigit is on the run from her father and uncle who have bad intentions towards her and she knows that they won't look for her at the club Olympus. Zeus is a dark alpha -whole who owns Olympus which is a upscale whorehouse. When he meets Brigit he knows there is something about her that draws to him. I am a big big fan of this author, so I highly recommend this box set.

Owned by the Billionaire is a boxset that contains the entire Richer Than God trilogy, plus bonus shorts. While this one sounded like it would be perfect for me, I found this one extremely difficult to get into. I can certainly see many enjoying it, but I’m labelling this a case of ‘it was me, not the book’.
One of the main things that stopped me from being pulled into this one the way that I had hoped was the fact that this series is linked to another, and I feel most of the world building happened in that one. It left me lost as to why we had the names of Greek Gods when it felt like a contemporary story. It left me unaware of where the story was supposed to be happening. It left me putting the pieces together to try and understand, and still I had blanks. Even without that, I never felt sucked into the romance between the characters. The storyline was interesting, yet it was far too quick. I just expected a lot more from this one, and everything felt too quick and easy.
All in all, I can see many enjoying this, yet it did not work for me.

One of my favorite series from Amelia Wilde- now available in one delicious set with BONUS content. This includes all three books- Richer than God, Sweeter than Sin, and Darker than Night- of the dark and steamy story of Zeus and Brigit. Their is a story full of delectable twists, seductive passion, page turning suspense and intense action, and so much panty and heart melting steam. Zeus is a classic anti-hero, frustrating and mesmerizing, horrible yet charismatic. And, Brigit is my favorite kind of heroine-one that starts innocent and naive, no match for our powerful hero, until she comes into her power and strength. This series is HOT, and I loved how cleverly the mythology is tied into the story. The bonus content gives us a window into their future, as well as that of some of the other character in this series- a delightful addition to this addictive series.

This is one of my favorites by this author, so getting to read it again knowing that there was additional bonus material made me excited. It was even better the second time through than it was the first time and that says something. It offers all the excitement, passion, angst, suspense, and steam that draws me to romance. The Bonus material comes at the end of book three in this box set and let me just say that it was beyond anything than I could have wanted. The first scene made my heart hurt at everything that these characters had been through and how far they had come, individually and collectively. The second scene, however, made me break into a HUGE Cheshire cat grin because of what it implied as to what is to come. I am 1000% ready for it.
Richer than God
Sweet Holiest of titfires...
This book was hotter than a Las Vegas sidewalk in August. I have been wanting this book since I first finished Hades. I have to say, I love mythology, but this modern twist on Mythology is so much better than the stuff that is taught in school. Had this been what was taught, I would have changed my major. Even knowing that Zeus was a manwhore and not very redeemable in tales of Lore had nothing on Zeus in this book. He is all of that and more.
Getting the opportunity to see a little of what makes him tick, shows that there is something redeemable in him. He does have feelings and it is more than just the feelings of of being supreme. I knew that there had to be so moments in his childhood that sucked, much like it did with Hades, just to a different extent. Even with the small amounts that I did see in this part of the book, I know that there is so much more buried under the surface. I look forward to unpeeling that onion and getting to the innermost layers to find out about him.
That being said, Zeus, made me want to scream and throw my kindle. He is everything I want in an anti-hero and then some. His callous and extremely awful behavior toward the end of this book in regard to Bridgit had me wanting to drop him on his head or shake the ever-loving hell out of him. Bridgit. This girl was no match for Zeus considering her naivete. However, the old Shakespeare quote, "...Though she be but little she is fierce," came to mind. She seemed to make Zeus ponder and distract and for Zeus, that is dangerous. I look forward to finding out more about her in the next book and finding out her backstory.
I also cannot wait to discover more about Demeter. She piqued my interest in the first trilogy and the mere mention of her has me intrigued in this one too. I hope that she gets a story. That being said, I highly recommend this story. It has proven to be well worth the anticipation. Now, I just need to learn that patience is a virtue because I already need the next book.
Sweeter than Sin
Crikey...
I loved Hade's books and with the last book, I still wasn't convinced that Zeus could win the top spot. I was wrong. So ever-loving wrong. Zeus just took Hades and pushed him out of the top spot and then some. The intensity of this book was beyond anything that I could have imagined. I shouldn't have loved him the way that I did, but good lord, how could I not. There is a reason that he is an anti-hero but even that couldn't stop me from loving him. That shows how good this author is that she can make someone so borderline repugnant and irredeemable and make him someone that I not only want to shake some sense into but that I also want to lock him up in my house and make little Zeus babies and I don't even like babies (except the one that I helped create and that makes me a better human). That, too, speaks volumes about this author.
From the first chapter, this book consumed me. I dreamt about it. These characters feel like real people. Even though this is nothing that I would ever experience in this lifetime and the setting isn't real, it FELT real and that made it even better. This author has bewitched me, first with Hades, and now, especially now, with Zeus and Brigit. It is twisted at times, I wanted to scream at times, and I had my stomach toss and turn with what was happening in this book. It is not a smooth ride but it was worth every bump along the way.
Discovering this author this year and this modern retelling of Greek Mythology, with a twist, is one of the best things about this godforsaken 2020 year. Highly recommend anyone to come on this journey with me because it is well worth it.
Darker Than Night
This trilogy is one of the few things that prove that 2020, in its entirety, has not been a dumpster fire. I latch on to the things that give me joy, and that is this author and her Hades trilogy and now Zeus. I am always guaranteed to be able to get lost in her modern mythological worlds and forget that life exists.
This book picks up right where the last book ended. It is intense. The interactions between Zeus and Hades in this book were sublime. I am not sure how the author manages to create such anti-hero characters that are both quite dickish yet endearing at the same time. However, what really drew me this time was the growth in Zeus as he vacillated in his desire to be both the man that he was and the man he wanted to be. It wasn't an easy ride considering he is a complex man. I liked that Bridgit challenged him. I liked that she was confident in her belief of who he was behind the mask. The steamy times between these two were FIRE in this book. It shouldn't have been hot but it SOOOOOO was.
I did have a couple of areas that I wished had been different, mainly Demeter, but for the most part, this was the perfect conclusion to this trilogy. I loved the peek into what is coming next. I thought it would be someone else, an antiheroine perhaps but regardless, I am excited to read it. I highly recommend these interconnected trilogies to anyone that loves mythology and a great story.

All the deliciousness that is Zeus and Brigit in one collection plus some added goodness!!
I devoured their dark tale all over again and loved the bonus material! Zeus is so much more than the cruel golden god he seems at first glance. And Brigit is the perfect foil for him.
Richer Than God
Brigit-- Sees Olympus as her salvation from her father's plans to marry her off to her uncle to get money. Olympus is terrifying but her uncle scares her more. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, for her, she captures the attention of the owner, Zeus.
Zeus, who hasn't personally trained anyone in years, and yet he finds himself drawn to this woman, whose innocence is clear but she is also an unreadable canvas at first.
He wants to break that false calm and destroy that innocence. After all, that's what his father trained him for. He's a cold, cruel man. At least that's what he's been taught to show and believe.
He teaches Brigit the dark, dirty depravity she didn't know she craved and she shows him that perhaps he isn't quite ready to give her over to the darkness just yet...
A cliffie leaving you wanting more!
Sweeter Than Sin
Explosive second act!
OMG! This trilogy is going to do me in!
Zeus & Brigit's story continues. I can't stop thinking about what has happened, is happening, why things happen, the history, the present, the connections.
The darkness in the golden glory of Zeus and his world. The uneasy alliance between Zeus and Hades. The women who have changed them irrevocably, Brigit & Persephone.
The sister no one can find. Wicked family.
So much wicked goodness! I can't wait for their next chapter...
Darker Than Night
Zeus escapes to his home, his secret lair, with Brigit after the explosive surprise from Demeter.
Maybe they can be happy. If reality and his insane sister are ignored. Maybe Brigit is better off without him.
Before decisions are made, Brigit is recovering from nearly dying in the explosion that has destroyed Olympus. She and Zeus are in a bubble of peace but Brigit, and James, keep pushing him to save his women who are at the mercy of a completely unhinged Demeter.
In this time we, through Brigit's curiosity discover Zeus's history with his siblings, especially Demeter. Zeus has been paying penance for his father's evilness and trying to keep things in balance with and for his siblings. Unfortunately, for them all, Demeter is truly her father's daughter.
Zeus does what he thinks is right, but will releasing his little bird be the answer. Thankfully his little bird is smarter and braver than he is and comes back to him.
I love the closure in Zeus and Brigit's HEA!! And the hints at Poseidon's story as well as a glimpse of Hades and Persephone.
Little Bird and Home Safe are tasty tidbits into the future giving glimpses of not only Zeus and Brigit but also his brothers Hades & Poseidon and their loves.

I have been LOVING dark romances during the past several months, so I was very excited to receive an ARC of Owned by the Billionaire, which is the Richer than God trilogy combined into one book. This story started off strong from the beginning, and once I got into it, I didn't want to put it down for the most part. However, while reading, there were several times when I kept going back and forth between how much I was enjoying it because I got confused over the writing. There were hints about things from the past that I just didn't understand, but by the end of the third book, I really fell in love with the story! The chemistry between Brigit and Zeus was unmatched, and I really enjoyed watching their relationship grow and develop. There was great steam, intense action, and strong characters in this story, and I could've read more of it! The bonus chapters at the end made me want to cry; they were so cute. I definitely plan to read Poseidon and Hade's stories at some point because I enjoyed seeing them sprinkled throughout this one!
Content warning for abuse, addiction, graphic scenes.
A huge thank you to Amelia Wilde and Valentine PR for the ARC of Owned by the Billionaire!

What a perfect collection !! This is Amelia Wilde’s “Richer than God” series all in one place! Oh and two extra novellas to just make it even better!!
This is the story of Zeus and Brigit, the ups and downs and twists and turns you have come to expect from anything by Amelia Wilde!
I love that she does these collections, it makes it so nice for readers that are new to her stories, it also makes it nice that you don’t have to wait, because with any good trilogy the cliffhangers are the worst!
So this collection has the following:
1) Richer Than God
2) Sweeter Than Sin
3) Darker Than Night
Bonus novellas
Little Bird
Home Safe (this one has spoilers if you haven’t read her Poseidon series, which is totally available to read now!)
This is the story of Zeus and Brigit, the ups and downs and twists and turns you have come to expect from anything by Amelia Wilde!
I love that she does these collections, it makes it so nice for readers that are new to her stories, it also makes it nice that you don’t have to wait, because with any good trilogy the cliffhangers are the worst!
So this collection has the following:
1) Richer Than God
2) Sweeter Than Sin
3) Darker Than Night
Bonus novellas

This is the absolutely perfect way for new readers to grab this complete series with a single click and no pesky cliffhanger wait times, but it is also a treasure for those of us who have met and fell under the spell of Zeus and Brigit's love story before because of the brand new, bonus content that has been added. This series blew my mind and I left me almost at a total loss for words. Hot, twisted, intense, emotional and deliciously dark. This series kept me up reading past my bedtime, scraping my jaw off the floor and in desperately need of an ice-cold beverage. It's gripping, it is raw, it is enticing and it is sinfully consuming. I am posting an unbiased, unsolicited review.

Owned by the Billionaire is the complete Richer Than God trilogy which tells the story of Zeus and Bridgit from beginning to end. This well written, dark and emotional romance is full of danger, drama, suspense, sizzling chemistry, twists, angst, hot scenes, which all lead to a HEA.
I volunteered to review an advance reader copy of this book.

Deliciously dark, depraved and brilliant!
I was so glad I read this trilogy in one go, as I would have died waiting for all the instalments to be published!
"This was the worst kiss. She has no skill whatsover. But it's also the best, most earnest kiss, and I want a thousand of them. A million. A f*cking infinity of this first-kiss nonsense."
Brigit was innocent, desperate, courageous and also pretty kinky! She was simultaneously horrified yet revelled in her pleasure at the way Zeus treated her. Zeus himself was such a tortured hero. He came across as incredibly closed off but commanding, yet he masked a heart that bled for all the women that came and went through his doors. He was a consummate businessman but I loved how he took care of the girls.
"It's like a switch has been flipped. For so long, I was a shell. Now I'm a beating heart. It's f*cking terrible."
My heart hurt for his past and the things he'd suffered, and I loved that Brigit was a balm to his soul. He fought so hard to keep his distance - he could be really cruel sometimes - but I thrilled at his compulsion to be with her. His possessiveness was riveting - at one point in the story, he was like a wounded animal, out of control and almost feral in his need to be by Brigit's side. Brigit was really something else. She was adventurous and so keen to please Zeus, but also so stoic and incredibly strong. This story was hella hella steamy! *fans self*. Honestly, it was darker than I usually read but I was just so utterly hooked by them. Brigit brought Zeus back to life. He was existing in purgatory, trying to atone for past sins, and she brought light and new meaning to his life. I loved that she saw him for who he really was. I was excited by her fearlessness in digging deep into his secrets - his soul was stripped bare for her to see. Although, for all the the darkness, suspense and kink in this story, there was also surprising humour! I adored how Zeus interacted with his brothers, Hades and Poseidon. They were so irreverent with one another, yet their sharp banter hid a layer of care, loyalty and painful history that tied them together very tightly.
"You don't want my love, little bird. It would destroy you."
If you're looking for a dark, raw romance, with a strong heroine, a hero who hid a well of vulnerability behind an untouchable, fierce facade, then this is the story for you!

I originally read this Zeus and Brigit trilogy as separate books: Richer Than God, Sweeter Than Sin, and Darker Than Night. My reviews for those books on Goodreads and if I knew fancy shit like how to do links, I would. But let's just say I gave them all 5 stars and I'll do a quick summary.
Zeus is an alpha jerk ultra rich bad boy hottie whorehouse owner. Brigit is a super sweet beautiful virgin with a heart of gold and a dirt bag dad and uncle. She needs refuge from her family and knows Zeus will take her in.
We see their relationship progress over the course of the three books, with twists, suspense, drama, and a whole lotta sexy time happening.
I love bundles because all three books are right there, you don't have to download multiple books whenever you find wifi, you buy one book instead of three, AND it comes with not one, but TWO new epilogue/bonus material bonus book bonus chapter ending parts for our fun time reading!
The second bonus, Home Safe, promises some awesome news about this whole Hades/Zeus/Poseidon universe and I am HERE FOR IT
I highly recommend you read Hades and Poseidon's stories too. They are amazing! And they weave in with this series. I would go Hades, then Zeus, then Poseidon. So good.

4 Stars!
What a book. What a journey. What a couple. Amelia Wilde is brand spanking new to me author and y'all, this is one hell of a way to be introduced to an author’s writing. Owned by the Billionaire is a super-charged trilogy packed into one fiery book and THIS is how you do this kind of romance in soooo many ways.
Zeus and Brigit. I'm not sure I was prepared for these two or the story they told. Darker than what I gravitate towards.. more intense than most, suspenseful at every turn, and mystery, danger, twists that keep you hanging on to every little word. They gave me so much angst and so much heat.. it was steamy af y'all (I need a whole damn air conditioner to cool me down now!). This beauty was packed with all of the feels and all the emotions in all the moments and I couldn't get enough.
Owned by the Billionaire was not what I was expecting even in the slightest (I'll admit I went in semi-blind) but whoa. I'm soooo glad I took a chance on this one.
I totally recommend this book.

I think that getting to binge this whole series actually made it so much better!!! I love Zeus and Brigit! She is so determined to make her own future and not let it be taken from her by her father and uncle. And this family with Zeus and Hades has got some serious disfunction happening! But even that is better than what she was supposed to submit to!
The heat was totally there with Brigit and Zeus! They did NOT disappoint in that department. There was a mild amount of angst, but there was actually quite a bit of suspense and even though I read the books when they were released before, I was on the edge of my seat through some key times! Definitely a book that I would tell people to read! It is SO good and bordering into epic! Love these 2 so much! And I love the whole story with the dysfunctional family!

Amelia Wilde’s one of most loved series Richer Than God Trilogy is combined into a single delicious book with added bonus goodness. Zeus and Brigit’s story is a modern retelling of Greek mythology with dark twists and intense intimacy. Even though Zeus is an arrogant almost anti-hero who is hardly redeemable (and lovable) still manages to steal Brigit’s naive heart and lets her peak into the real man behind his mask.
Amelia Wilde’s dark, dangerous and passionate book Owned by The Billionaire keeps you on your toes, captures you with questionable and complex characters and still manages to make long for their love. A definite 5 star read.

This is perfection. This is the The Richer Than God trilogy, all wrapped up into one beautiful package. Zeus was the first brother I met (I know, out of order), and I was done for after. He is dark and dangerous and delicious. And so many layers to him, with all he went through. And Brigit is a perfect yin to his yang (or vice verse). If you haven’t read about Zeus & Brigit, their story is filled with darkness, danger, intenseness, love, and sexy hot chemistry that will sizzle your kindle (or any reading material). If you have read their their story, the bonus content is so perfect, it makes it worth reading again…and again…and again! This will ALWAYS be a part of my re-read list 😍 Just can’t get enough!!!

Prepare yourself, because this book is not a treat. It's a full course meal of sexy sinfulness. It's a dangerous and ruthless world where Brigit and Zeus live. One were they can't even trust family. And their feelings won't care about the minds denial.
This story will give you a constant feeling in the pit of your stomach that something worst is lurking in the shadows. Something worst will happen to them. And that, combined with all their desires makes for quite an enjoyable read.

Absolutely loved Zeus and Brigit’s story. Their story was written perfect for them and you can’t help being hooked on the words and not being able to put their story down.

Zeus and Brigit… ahhh!!! Loved these two! Zeus is such a cocky bugger but backs it up something fierce! Alpha god for sure! This trilogy and bonus content are amazing! There is nothing like when these brothers get together! Hilarious!!! An excellent addition to an already amazing trilogy!

I originally loved Zeus and Brigits trilogy so to have it all here with added content made it even better! Forgot how much I missed these two

Nope, nope, nope. The ML sexually berates the FL in front of other women, and it's absolutely disgusting. The title of the book also doesn't make any sense; the ML - Zeus - is just a pimp or male madame, what have you. He just owns a whore house, that's his entire schtick. I also hated the Greek mythology names.

A whole series about a whorehouse. Thats what this Trilogy is about.I dont think I've ever been this disgusted by a series.😑

'These are not good men. They are cruel and mean. A small voice whispers but not all the time.'
It has taken me far too long to read this series, but I'm so glad I finally got round to it because as always, I was wrapped up in Amelia Wilde's created world and loved it.
I love a good Greek mythology inspired romance, so that was the main reason I was interested in this. But also, after reading Poseidon's trilogy earlier this year, (yes, I know I'm reading them backwards, even if they are standalone series), I was really looking forward to seeing more from Hades and Zeus because their characters were so intriguing and funny, and I couldn't wait to read more about the brothers relationships.
"You have a death wish." "I thought we were having an intimate moment."
Zeus is so charismatic and I felt like you could literally feel his rich billionaire aura oozing off of the pages and cloaking you in the romance of it. I definitely see why Brigit was wrapped up in him and couldn't seem to get enough of his presence. I loved getting to see his version of his and his siblings background stories. It broke my heart to learn about his and Demeter's history and I genuinely cried when we saw how he was with her and everything the siblings had to go through because of Cronos.
Whilst Zeus's story was interweaved throughout all 3 books, I think Brigit's backstory was given to us quite quickly and it helped understand her faster. She's had to face her own challenges and although she comes in as a shy virgin, it was interesting to see how Amelia gave us a different take on the stereotypical virgin character. Brigit soon learns to lean into her confidence more and is able to use it to put herself on a more equal playing field as Zeus. My favourite scene of hers though has to be just before she gives birth, I couldn't stop laughing at the way she's trying to back out of it.
"The thing is," I announce to the room at large sounding amazingly calm, "I can't do this. I made a mistake."
The humour that was interlaced throughout these books was one of the things I enjoyed the most. Especially between Zeus and Hades. It was so fun and adorable to get to watch such a pair of headstrong guys work through their dysfunctions and still manage to come together, as much as they tried to deny that it was because they actually cared for each other.
"I'm hallucinating." Must be. He's not here.
"You're not. Don't even think about touching me for confirmation."
I can't wait to finally read Hades' and Persephone's story. As much as I've loved Zeus and Poseidon, I think Hades will take the cake for me. I do wish we'd have seen more interactions with Poseidon in this though, but I can understand why we didn't given his character and how his story plays out.
The original trilogy for me was probably a 4.8* -the reason I wouldn't rate it a full 5* was mostly due to the fact that I do think Brigit fell in love a little too fast... Whilst it did work, I think given Zeus and her had more sexual interactions in the first book, I didn't feel like the depth was there initially. However, as the trilogy went on and they grew to learn more about each other, her feelings made more sense. But, this did mean that for me, there was a bit of a lack of angst. As Brigit falls for Zeus so quickly, she understands quite easily when he's trying to push her away. So rather than listening to him, she's adamant that she'll keep coming back and telling him that she sees through the façade. But I do love a good angsty scene and I think if there had been more occasions where she did believe him and was more upset by it, that would have given it the full 5* from me.
Saying that though, overall, I would rate this 5* because the two little bonus stories that were included in this were so wholesome and I loved getting to read them! The teasers for the next generation of this world had me so excited and I can't wait to see how Amelia uses the original Greek myths to inspire her stories. Likewise, getting to see all 3 brothers and their families together after the journeys they've been through, was the perfect end!

TW: This book contains triggering scenarios and scenes. Would strongly recommend heeding any trigger warnings the author may have noted.
Owned by the billionaire is the complete trilogy for Zeus and Brigit. Whilst it does contain mentions of other characters Amelia has written about, it can be read as a standalone series. However, I would personally recommend reading the interconnected standalone series in the following order: Hades, Zeus and then Poseidon's as I think it would make for a more enjoyable reading experience.
