This is not my review, but rather what a friend thought of the book. I kinda agree with him, but have to add that when I initially read it, I liked the book, though I have never been inclined to read it again.

I asked her to talk about your prized literary posession. A series that I had heard you two commend time and time again. A series that you two claimed had an intriguing setting and characters. A series that I could only describe as literary porn.

Now hear me out. I don't mind the exploration This is not my review, but rather what a friend thought of the book. I kinda agree with him, but have to add that when I initially read it, I liked the book, though I have never been inclined to read it again.

I asked her to talk about your prized literary posession. A series that I had heard you two commend time and time again. A series that you two claimed had an intriguing setting and characters. A series that I could only describe as literary porn.

Now hear me out. I don't mind the exploration of relationship in a novel. Nor does an occasional sex scene bother me. However, the whole premise behind this book? A sex slave is summoned by a woman who has never had a real man but will now encounter "true love". Porn. He will be trapped forever in this book unless he has sex with her on the 30th day of their courtship for several hours."Porn. He is the perfect man in every way shape or form and the book goes to a great length to remind the reader of this by describing his features every 3 pages.Porn. They don't actually have sex for the longest time but this doesn't stop them from first repeatedly engaging in promiscuous acts with the same back in forth banter of I won't, but I totally will. Porn. He constantly has groan worthy one liners that would get a real man slapped if he ever uttered them to a woman. I'm sure you get what I'm saying by now.

Did you know it took 73 pages until they introduced another character and started talking about some sort of plot? Did you know you could skip ten pages and end up reading about a slightly different version of the same scene? Did you know she coincidentally happened to have the right last name and also be the only one who could "resist" him. Did you know he also coincidentally managed to run into and beat up the man who raped her? Did you know she actually fell for this guy?

So I had my little rant. I did get to have some fun in the end so I guess it was worth it. Maybe I was a bit overly critical...Oh well. My hatred for romantic comedies extends to romance novels...who would have guessed. The way you two discussed it, I never considered that the series actually was of the "romance" category. I knew I should have stopped reading once I saw that cover.

I finished Fantasy Lover in record time FYI. I was so invested in it that I could NOT put this thing down.

This book is oh my gawd! No words. Loved it! It was Intense completely Delicious and had me crying and laughing at the same time.

Dear book where have you been all my life!

Dear book where have you been all my life!

Julian of Macedon, Greek love slave, summoned to take care of woman’s loins for two thousand years. Golden Viking *at least that’s what it said* sex god! *now there are two Viking sex gods I have come across* Julian is trapped inside a scroll for the past two thousand years. He is a fierce warrior of his time feared by all. his oh so conniving deceiving brother decides to trap him in a scroll for all eternity. Born from a goddess of love Julian was deceived from it. He had never known what love is in his two thousand years. That is until he meets Grace.

Grace Alexander, a SEX therapist and she haven’t had any for the past four years. *as Selena says, (Grace’s bestie) this is the Age of Electronics woman, I agree.* let’s move on. Grace is the modern woman who believes in science and logic not magic and love slave. But soon she changes her mind when Julian appears before her after the incarnation she does *forced by her gypsy wannabe friend Selena*. Grace is guarded with her heart. But she finds it hard to not to fall for the ancient warrior.

Talk about laughing your ass off it actually happened to me while I read this. I was laughing and getting hot and bothered at the same time. Sherrilyn Kenyon has given new meaning to doing everything except sex. We go to the shower NAKED. We pared around the house NAKED we read books to each other NAKED!! And still nothing. There were times, when I was going yes, yes, that’s it! And then GAH nothing. It was sexually quite frustrating.

I have never read Greek mythology and have a very little knowledge about them. As far as my knowledge goes it is limited to TV series and the cartoons. So even if there were any false information about Greek gods I would not know. So that being said, the Greek gods are absolutely hilarious and cruel at the same time. Eros aka cupid, is married to Psyche, and they are a biker couple!! I almost peed my pants.

Priapus Julian’s brother the evil one. They have some serious issues. Sibling rivalry!

Grace and Julian’s horniness is above and beyond that kept my toes curling in every five minutes. Grace’s determination to break Julian’s curse was incredible. There were times when I was sure they would give into temptation.

From the beginning to the end I was hooked to this book. The story line, plot progress everything about this book was absolutely amazing. I would love to re read this book. ...more
