Or will she run from the only man who could make her happy?Adrian Colter, Nashville Police Detective and certifiable bachelor, puts his foot in his mouth in a big way when his roommate's fiancé tries to match him up with her best friend.

I really enjoyed Adrian and Addison's story, but I think what makes this book work even better is the overlying story of Ares & Aphrodite and the petty viciousness of the Greek gods along with Ares & Ditee's love story.

A sweet, fast paced read, I giggled as Adrian put his foot squarely in his mouth when it came to meeting Addison. I enjoyed the snippets of Ares & Ditee's courtship, etc. I would've liked to see more of the banter as the conversations were fun and light. Lovely romance; I liked how in the end, both were willing to move to the other. Love is about support like that. ( )

Picking up where Open House, Pool of Souls, book 1 left off – Aphrodite and Aries are still working to overcome their trust issues, but there are more important issues to deal with. Aphrodite is physically impacted when the souls she has matched do not meet, and instead die a lingering death. So her investment in the matching of the souls of Adrian and Addison is not a ‘whim’ but her reason for being.

The quest for power and the wish to destroy Aphrodite to regain the Olympians power is at the crux of this story, as we are given more information on Aphrodite’s pool and the diamond souls that inhabit it. When a soul diamond is stolen and its life force is ebbing: humanity becomes less caring and far more impulsive.

In the middle of this mess are Adrian and Addison: both afraid to trust and believe that another relationship won’t cause them pain. The resulting reunion and the trials they face to their happy ending to find their Hope is a beautifully detailed story.

Aphrodite and Aries are the underlying story line in this series – their relationship develops in each story as we discover more about their own personal histories as their bond strengthens. And, the human souls that Aphrodite seeks to bond together are always blessed with incredibly hot and sensually addictive sex scenes. Aphrodite and Aries have hot and steamy sex too, although theirs tends to have a touch of the “hurts so good” edgier sexual play that is also an exertion of their control.

Krystal Shannan can tell a story – each character has some solidly developed element that breathes life into them, and combined with the unique story and the desire to see the characters reach their HEA make this a really fun series that will please readers who want steam with their romance.

I received an eBook copy from the author for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review, all conclusions are my own responsibility.
