Sherrilyn Kenyon

Being trapped in a bedroom with a woman is a grand thing. Being trapped in hundreds of bedrooms over two thousand years isn’t. And being cursed into a book as a love-slave for eternity can ruin even a Spartan warrior’s day.

As a love-slave, I know everything about women. How to touch them, how to savor them, and most of all, how to pleasure them. But when I was summoned to fulfill Grace Alexander’s sexual fantasies, I found the first woman in history who saw me as a man with a tormented show more past. She alone bothered to take me out of the bedroom and onto the world. She taught me to love again.

But I was not born to love. I was cursed to walk eternity alone. As a general, I had long ago accepted my sentence. Yet now I have found Grace--the one thing my wounded heart cannot survive without. Sure, love can heal all wounds, but can it break a two-thousand-year-old curse? show less

Sin was once a Sumerian fertility god, until the Greek goddess Artemis stole his godhood. Still immortal, Sin has two missions in life - find the ancient Sumerian artifacts that will prevent the really bad demons from destroying the world, and kill Artemis (and sometimes even he’s not sure which is his highest priority).

But Artemis still fears Sin and so commands Acheron to kill him, but as we all know, Ash doesn’t take orders from Artie. And so she sends her handmaiden, Katra, to show more destroy him. Kat finds Sin and witnesses him desecrating human bodies. Misunderstanding his motivations in doing so she is even more determined to kill him. Meanwhile, Sin mistakes Kat for Artemis and takes her captive.

After much explanation, and some laugh out loud dialogue, Kat and Sin team up to save the world. And this being what it is, they fall in love in the process. But more revelations are on the way, and some of them were a long time coming.

Another great installment in the Dark-Hunter series that has made Kenyon a bestselling author (and for good reason). Sin is my favorite kind of tortured hero, one seeking revenge and instead finds redemption. Kat is a reoccurring character in the overall storyline (“Kiss of the Night”, and “The Dream-Hunter”), it was nice that she finally got a story and a hero of her own. I love the occasional glimpses we get into other mythologies in this series, that it isn’t solely based on Greek and the more obscure/fabricated Atlantean gods.

We also get a great revelation about Acheron - just in time to entice us for his own book, which is coming out on August 4, 2008! I think I might die! show less

Grace is a therapist, a sex therapist to be exact, her best friend a tarot reading gypsy-blooded Selena has decided Grace needs to heal from her first disastrous time with a total tool and she tricks Grace to summon a Greek Love-Slave from an old book.

Julian of Macedon, a Spartan general, has spent near two thousand years in the book, cursed there by his half-brother, and summoned out only by women who want him for his body - and what a body! Being a demigod he's a sight aphrodisiac to human show more women, so much so that he is irresistible. As Grace summons him he figures out something is different this time, first Grace doesn't want to sleep with him, and second her treating him like a man awakens weird feelings in him.

As more of who Julian is revealed feelings blossom between the couple but neither one wants to admit them, better yet acknowledge them - but as it comes out that there might be a way for Julian to be free from the book things take turn to worse. It's not easy to choose life after over 2000 years of emotional torture.

I loved this book! It sure is a hot read! I can't help but love books where the hero sets out to seduce the heroine, especially when the hero is rugged gorgeous Spartan Warrior! *SWOON* Alright let me get it together... there we go... no wait, okay, I got it.

I loved the plot, sure it was simple but with great twists! It was easy flowing to read and Kenyon writes in a way that you feel close connected to the characters, which helps so much to see the world and get immersed in it.

Fantasy Lover was deliciously sexy, dark and tempting and a surprise very funny quick read! Julian's out-of-place-ness, if one can use that as a word is hilarious, but at times heartbreaking, and this book is a perfect mix of both.

I loved Julian, he was so dark and conflicted, but sexy as hell. I loved that he didn't like public places where women swooned over him, it gave him just what the doctor ordered to be a great male lead.
Could not help but to love Grace as well, she saw Julian as a human being and not as a mystical creature, a love-slave. She wanted to help him adjust to where he was, and this is bit heartbreaking; she was the first women in 2000 years who wanted to give him the dignity to wear clothes, which he didn't know how to handle...

I did not expect this book to be so good! I was very pleasantly surprised! This book works well for you if you want a break from vampires and werewolves, but still want your Paranormal Romance kick! show less

Alright, I know I've said this before but it bears repetition. Sherrilyn Kenyon is amazing! Son of No One is excellent. It felt a little short, especially since her last few books could be used as tables in their own right. However, this story seemed to be prologue to what's about to happen in the wonderous world she has built. The next two deal with the rise of the dragons, so the set up is welcomed. I love the way she has mixed so many mythologies into her Dark Hunters world, and has done show more it effortlessly. Cadegan and Jo were excellent as the hero and heroine of the story, and who doesn't love cameos by some of her other beloved characters who have now formed this motley, mixed, dysfunctional, but loyal family? But the biggest bombshells were all about Thorn. These last several books have been building toward something huge and show no sign of slowing down until whatever it is leaves us blown apart and spent. I cannot wait to see how, if at all, this story effects CON in March before picking up in the next DH book with the dragons awakening. No matter what folks, we had best strap ourselves in, bumpy doesn't begin to describe the ride we are in for, I'm afraid. show less
