Review of What a Goddess Wants by Stephanie Julian

If you're looking for a unique spin on ancient god and goddess mythology this book is for you- especially if you like your books smoking hot with a lot of sizzle.

What a Goddess Wants is Book One in the Forgotten Goddess series

Book Description:

IN HIS ARMS, HER MAGIC POWERS ARE ON THE RISE...

Tessa, Etruscan Goddess of the Dawn, is losing her powers and now there's an Underworld god determined to run her down. She needs a hero and fast, because only sexual energy can give her power. So she seeks out Caligo, whose sexual prowess is legendary...

AND SHE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN BRING HIM INTO THE LIGHT...

Caligo is a fabled Cimmerian warrior determined to stay away from spoiled goddesses who trample hearts after they've had their fun. But there's something irresistibly hot and inviting about Tessa and he knows he's her only change to escape the encroaching darkness...


My review:

If you aren't a fan of books filled with super hot and numerous sex scenes, then don't bother with this book because it'll burn you, yup sizzle your hands into burnt cinders cause this book is on fire.

Also if you aren't a fan of sex without love, or sex before love- don't bother either because these 2 start out without even knowing each other's name or what they are.

Pure fantastical sexiness. Escapist sexiness.

Don't bring reality or prudish expectations with you when reading this book, if you do you'll be disappointed in what you find.

Julian spins a new story from old myths- Tessa's a forgotten goddess, forgotten enough that no one really knows who she is but not forgotten enough to be left alone because now an evil god in the underworld wants to suck her and other goddesses dry, drain them of their power so he can get out of the Underworld and wreak havoc everywhere.

Tessa needs help so she seeks out Caligo a Cimmerian warrior known for his fighting skills...and sexual prowess.

The two of them have an instant connection and a strange effect on each other.

Suddenly they need each other- but both have been burned before.

Will the sizzle between them be enough to save them both from the darkness and destruction or will the relationship go up in flames?

I was pleasantly surprised by this new take on god and goddess myths and loved the hotter than hot scenes.

Can't wait to read more in this series.
