Review

Finding herself in her father’s presence and somewhat acknowledged as a Morelli, should bring to life most of Lyriope’s dreams. The reality is that she is brought back to the US under a veil of silence from her father, with the knowledge that she is to be wed to the Sidovac family. Bit by bit she is starting to realise that being a Morelli isn’t all sunshine and rainbows and is more about power and fear. Meeting her fiancé doesn’t bring any future warmth to her heart either. The spotty nephew of her captures seems more interested in his phone.

Watching Lyriope leave was hard for Nick although he could kind of understand her reasons, especially relating to her father and the Morelli family – even if he believes she is living with false hope of a warm reception. Sneaking into the Morelli compound he gives her a night to remember, and he has hopes that it will have a lasting consequence. Leaving her in a blaze of glory he sets about arranging the next Wonderland event with an open invitation to the Morellis’.

Life as a Morelli is not going to plan for Lyriope, although a night at Wonderland is the perfect distraction for her. Pushing both her boundaries and Nick’s as she makes requests for how the evening will go. Surprising Nick with how much she has grown from the shy virgin he once found at a Christmas party.

Review

Given that this is the first book in the Gods Amongst Men series it was always going to take time to get your head around the characters and their past history etc. I do feel that a short prequel or extended prologue would have made reading this easier to get into.

Standing outside the Olympus Manor by the cliffs, twin brothers Apollo and Ares Godwin are discussing how their lives will move forward from this point. Ares faces a lengthy jail sentence for murder and Apollo is no longer wearing his wedding ring – realising that his marriage to Daphne is/was over but Godwin’s don’t divorce. A freak accident kick-starts new realities for them.

Living a failed Cinderella story, Daphne had looked for a way out of her marriage but was unsuccessful, she has attempted to come to terms with her future. An accident forces her to be thrown into Apollo’s orbit but she is unsure how to act around him. Revelations about her attempts to escape come to light and punishments are needed. His family wants her dead but Apollo has a different plan for her.

As they push and pull against each other they slowly learn more about themselves and the obstacles that were in the way of their marriage. Rescuing her sister from her abusive husband helps to ease some of the past hurts but there is something Daphne doesn’t know about the man in her bed – can they survive the truth?

Staying in one room as much as possible she hears creaks and bangs as she ventures out for food. Discovering that she is, in fact, not alone in the manor and that Phoenix lives/stays in the attic above her room.
