This story started off very strong and it had a lot of potential. I felt for the main character and however the love scenes jump all around or random. The book started to loose me about half way as I felt the author ran out of idea's and just started throwing things at the reader. This made the story turn very odd and it lost the original erotic appeal. I will say it was well written compared to other erotic books. Personally, I would pass on this unless you really like mythology style erotica. I received this ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Psyche stood alone on the beach as the priest of Apollo had commanded. Wearing only a red linen shawl and a golden necklace. The oracle had not said if the monster would eat her or keep her for ill use. There was very little in Psyche’s life she wanted to remember. Suddenly the Goddess of love and beauty Venus towered above Psyche. Venus was more dazzling than any mortal woman could hope to bet more gorgeous than a man could dream. Venus hated Psyche. Then after examining Psyche Venus left. Then Psyche sensed another presence. But it was not a monster but a beautiful winged man. It was the God of Love- Venus’s son. Then he pulled Psyche to him and started to rise in the air with her. Then Psyche decided she didn’t want to die that she actually wanted to live. Psyche was suppose to die her only crime was that she was too beautiful. Then He started to drop and then he left Psyche on the grass and left then Adora showed up who was a slave girl who lead psyche through some trees to a palace that the slave girl said was her masters that she had not seen but sometimes got messages from. Psyche was to have whatever she wanted. Then Psyche became aware of a familiar sensation of something unseen. Psyche had first had this sensation when she was sixteen three years ago. It was almost like an invisible man watching Psyche several times. Over the last three years she had felt like she was being watched by unseen eyes. Then One time the slave girl tied Psyche to the bed and blindfolded her but she is not eaten or killed but shown gentleness in the way of physical. The God agrees to marry Psyche but she must always be blindfolded when he comes to her but she does eventually manage to see him and it is the God of love but then he kicks her out of his palace . Psyche goes to Venus and begs Venus to return her to Cupid-the God of love. Psyche is then put to three impossible tasks. Psyche must do all the tasks or never see her husband again and die.
I had mixed feelings about this story . I liked the beginning of the story but as time went on it was harder to keep going but i did. I liked the plot. I loved that Psyche would not give up on the God she loved. I wondered how Venus coped with Cupid and Psyche being together again. But this reminded me of Hercules and how he had tasks that he wasn’t suppose to be able to complete so not an original concept there. But still didn’t take away from the story. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this story and I recommend.

Strong start but tails off a little in the middle. Very interesting take on mythology and I enjoyed it.
