Katee Robert delivers another electrifying, steamy, and action-packed romance in Wicked Beauty, blending Greek mythology with high-stakes competition and sizzling chemistry. The book follows Helen, determined to claim her own destiny, as she enters a brutal contest for the role of Ares—only to find herself entangled with Achilles and Patroclus in a tension-filled, passionate dynamic.

The story shines with its bold, complex characters and a romance that crackles with intensity. Helen is a powerhouse, refusing to be anyone’s prize, while Achilles and Patroclus bring depth and devotion to the mix. The balance between action, emotional stakes, and spice makes this book unputdownable.

A perfect read for fans of fierce heroines, mythological retellings, and polyamorous romance. Easily one of Katee Robert’s best!

Honestly not what I was expecting. I have read a lot of great things about this author but I dont think that these books are going to be for me.

ALWAYS a fan of Katee Robert! After reading this preview, I went and bought the book when it released!!! Love this series so much.

Great preview - I'll definitely be picking up a copy of this book to finish it out! It caught my attention and now I want to know how it ends.

Give me all the poly trios, Kate’s Robert’s has my number with this whole series, but this one is especially high on the list

This preview had me SAT for this book. I loved the first one and need more smutty greek gods in my life ASAP. Katee Robert the genuis that you are.

Wicked Beauty by Katee Robert is a perfect fit for readers who crave a scorching and emotional romance, with a strong focus on LGBTQIA+ representation, Greek mythology, and themes of power, desire, and self-discovery, all set against a backdrop of high-stakes competition and danger.

I absolutely loved neon gods! And this was definitely up there too!! I love this whole retelling series.

Intriguing. While an earlier book in this longer series, the preview hooks you and makes you want to read more. It’s also a unique take on Greek mythology in a modern setting. That said, the city this book takes place in is really something you have to suspend you disbelief for.

i absolutely loved this book so much, it’s probably my second favorite in the series! achilles patroclus and helen were perfect.
ever single bit of this book was enjoyable and it kept me on my toes the plot the characters the spice and romance ugh i am absolutely obsessed with this universe

I throughly enjoyed this snip-it! Katee know's how to write spice and engaging characters.. Why choose is always a wild card. I worry about balance and the dynamic that each character has in this relationship. Katee (obvi) does an excpetional job of engaging all three parts of in the narrative

I read this book so long ago and had forgotten to write my review.

I love everything that Katee Robert writes, but there is something so perfect and addicting about an Achilles, Patroclus, and Helen book. I loved the existing relationship between Achilles and Patroclus. They were so sweet and perfect together and then bringing Helen in throughout the games to become the new Ares just made the relationship between all three of them that much better.

This book had everything. It had the drama of the games, such spicy MMF romance, and Helen just getting everything she deserves after the way her family had treated her.

I will continue to demolish every single book in this series like my life depends on it.

this series has taken so many turns that i never expected. one thing katee robert is going to do is make things new and interesting! the character dynamics between the three characters in this poly romance are the star of the show. can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

Katee Roberts has really outdone herself on this one. She has an incredible ability to spin a story that’s captivating and provocative, and this one’s no different. While this is just a preview, it was an incredible introduction to the book, a zesty more pantheon approach to Helen of Troy and the Trojan War. The main question: what happens when the only option for a woman is to fight for her freedom and place in her family? Finally, will have to sit down and read the whole book because I devoured that!

I have been a big fan of katee Robert for a long time now. Even just her previews have me obsessed. I read this book in its entirety and could not put it down.

I received this Arc from Netgalley. Thank you for the chance to read this book early. My review is honest and 100% my own thoughts about the book.

This was a Preview of Wicked Beauty. Like he Roth work I really liked her story weaving of the Olympus world and the relation ship between the characters were natural. These relationships don’t feel forced at all. I will say that I was a little disappointed when the preview ended because I wanted more. I will be getting this book in a physical copy to continue reading. Thank you so much for your work Katee Robert. I live your stories. I also love that your stories are spicy. They kept me wanting more!

A new take on Helen of Troy. Helen is competing for the role of Ares in the 13 against some great foes including Achilles and his lover Patrocles. I really liked that the “traditional” story is woven with the less traditional story and made the 3 characters blend together well. The 5 chapters weren’t enough, so I picked this up before writing my review.
I hoped that Ares would turn out to be the one I picked and that taking the role of Ares didn’t mean that they had to give up what had developed over the story.

I really enjoyed Neon Gods and Electric Idol and am excited for the rest of the series. This was a great preview and has definitely left me needing to read more now. I know I always enjoy Katee Robert's books, she has great story, spice and characters and can see that Wicked Beauty will not disappoint.

Amazing is the only word I think of when reading anything written by Katee Robert. You think the previous two books of the series were extremely hot and temping? Think again! The third book will exceed your highest expectations! This book is not just hot, it's fiery, explosive, steamy, I could go on forever about this book. There are so many explicit, intense scenes make you hyperventilate! The chemistry between ménage a trois can burn the entire Olympus down to soot and ash!

The power balance between the trio is fantastic! I'm very much into Reverse Harem, but have never read a MFM before so this was quite surprising. It highly intrigued me because this book is more than erotic romance. The big race between opponents to become the next Ares was truly heart throbbing, exciting, and action packed. This book will make you start stress eating while you're flipping the pages and almost give you a heart attack. But I have come to recently find that this is just Katee Robert's style of writing and I live for it. Your heart will be caught in your mouth, and you'll be sweating and praying that your team wins the dangerous and vicious tournament. There's Olympus politics, sexism, secret schemings, and power games mixed with the extra steamy, spicy sex scenes and heart pounding action. The power dynamic between Helen, Achilles and Patroclus was incredible.

Determined, dominant, and stubborn, Helen understands politics and uses her beauty as a weapon. She was abandoned and used by her family but she is so much more than just a pretty face. Ambitious, pretentious, quiet and stubborn, Achilles is a brilliant warrior who doesn't know too much about politics and ruling an empire. These two are both fiery, impulsive and dominant so Patroclus balances them out perfectly with his intelligent, calm, and diplomatic characteristics. Nerdy, caring and sweet, he puts Helen and Achilles before himself. The trio's extreme chemistry is unbelievable, in a good way. They aren't just physically fitting each other's needs but emotionally too.

Overall, Katee Robert does it again with another incredible story filled with dangerous competition, powerful characterization, cameos of previous books' characters, and spicy hot scenes. Highly recommend to anyone wanting an amazingly detailed story where you get to revisit characters from previous books and fall in love with each and every story she writes. 5 out ot 5 stars once again to the amazing Katee Robert.

So many thanks to NetGalley for sharing this amazing digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest thoughts. All thoughts and opinions in this review are my own.

Katee Robert does it again. And this time it’s Poly! I loved the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus and the addition of Helen is done so well that you never question it. All set in that backdrop of Olympus. As always, asks as many questions as it answers and I adore the intrigue alongside the romance
