Cruel Seduction
Couldn't load pickup availability
He was my enemy. My lover. My husband. And the one man I swore by all Olympus I would destroy.
*A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Aphrodite and Hephaestus (and Pandora and Adonis).*
Aphrodite has never flinched at getting her perfectly manicured hands dirty, and she's not about to start now--even if that means marrying Olympus's enemy number one, the new Hephaestus. She has a wicked plan to keep her deadly new husband off-balance, seducing the one person he seems to care about most in this world: Pandora, a woman as beautiful as she is sweet.
Two can play the seduction game, however, and Hephaestus is all too happy to put his new wife in her place. Her ex, Adonis, seems like he'll do the trick. It doesn't hurt that he's gorgeous in the way of fallen angels, either.
The only problem with using seduction as a weapon? Hearts are all too quick to get involved. With Hephaestus and Aphrodite trading venomous strikes that feel a whole lot like foreplay, lines become blurred and emotions entangled. But a broken heart may be the least of their worries. With unrest in Olympus reaching new heights, these bedroom games may have deadly consequences for themselves, their city, and everyone they've come to love.

Continued series of greatness
I loved this saucy book! This series has been as saucy and hot as a ghost pepper! I also like that while this is an individual story, there is an overall big picture throughout the series as well!
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Spice: 🌶🌶🌶Review: these books never get old I swear, so far I've enjoyed them all! Aphrodite and Hephaestus were an absolute amazing pairing. I was very questionable about Hephaestus at first just because who he was aligned with and how he became who he was but tbh in the end he turned out just fine!Adonis and Pandora were fantastic additional characters who really created balance for our main characters. I was worried four POV was gonna be too much to keep up with but I loved getting to see into each person and the balance was great!The ending left me craving more of this world because I just have to know what's being planned and whose gonna be the next power couple 👀
Oh all the dark Olympus books so far it was not my favorite. Still a great book this felt like a slow burn to me with the plot and relationship.
I liked this one but not as much as the others and felt like the character development/backstory was weaker. Feels a bit like filler waiting for the good stuff.
