Review: My first book by Amanda Bouchet, but not my last.
From the beginning I was pulled into this story and it kept getting better and better.
I love books with strong heroines who can hold their own in most situations. Cat can definitely do that. A woman like deserves a man who will bend over backwards for them, and that is definitely Griffin.
I loved the premise of this story, and I think it was executed very well. A fantasy romance with a mythology twist.

Review: This book. I initially thought it would end up being a 5 star read because the scenes with Mae making her escape had my heart pounding. Tillie Cole definitely knows how to pull the reader in.
Everything to do with Mae and where she came from had me on the edge of my seat.
Styx and the Hades Hangmen? I have a bit of an issue with reading out the "hero" in the romance I'm reading having sex with someone that isn't the heroine. Were they together when the sex happened? No. And I realize that people are going to have a life before their loves enters their lives, but that doesn't mean I want to read about it. It really only bothers me because it's almost always the man who gets to move on, and usually the woman is left pining or a virgin during this process.
That wasn't the case here as Mae was part of a cult and didn't have a choice in what happened in her life, until her great escape.
Anyway, all of Mae's scenes were 5 stars for me because here is the young woman who 1st escapes this life that didn't have her best interest at heart, and then end up in this world that she has been taught is immoral and she has to learn how to navigate it. Through her I was able to learn to like the others.
Then the twist is revealed, and I realized that Tillie was giving us clues, in my opinion, the entire time. It was just too hard to believe.
I changed my favorite couples book. Posting now
I'm going to try to get on as much as possible, but my internet is down until Friday (hopefully, they can figure out the problem) and after work I'm still moving things to our new house. If not I'll post my favorite couple book as soon as my home internet is back up and I can actually use my tablet instead of my ipad.
