This book preview did NOT disappoint and I can’t wait to finish this story. This book is all things hot and spicy that readers have come to expect from Katee Robert. . You will melt from the chemistry of this trio of characters so readers beware.

The beginning of this book is very frustrating as we experience how Helen is treated by her family, her ex, and even her fellow competitors. I have never wanted redemption for a character as much as I do for her. I am eagerly awaiting the conclusion for this story.

I really enjoyed this preview. I can't wait to see what Katee Robert has in store for these characters and I have really enjoyed the other books in this series as well. I have been binge-reading Katee Robert books recently and I could not be enjoying myself more. These books are perfect if you want a fun, flirty romance with drama that will keep you hooked until you reach the final page.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I did not realise this was a preview of the book before I requested it but boy oh boy do I now need to read the whole thing. I love Greek Mythology, it is one of my favourite things to read about and I think this is going to be a really good book. A competition to become one of the 13? An underdog? A lot of tension between Helen, Patroclus and Achilles and spice? Hell yeah I'm intrigued.

I absolutely adored this preview. After reading it, I was frantically searching online for any excerpts that had just a little more of the final copy. Alas, I have only read as far as this sample provides. I loved the chemistry between Patroclus and Achilles. I also love how Helen is not what she appears to be and the fact that Patroclus and her already know each other. All three of them are in the running for the title of Ares in the city of Olympus which is governed by people who take on the name of the greek god associated with their role in the city. Ares provides security and guidance in war. Achilles and Patroclus bring knowledge of defending because they have worked with Athena who deals with strategy and knowledge. Helen has knowledge of the social sphere and dealing with the politics of being one of the leaders because her father was Zeus, the head of the governing board of people. The stakes are also super high because Helen's hand in marriage is the prize for winning Ares. Therefore, I am super excited to see how the fight for the title of Ares goes when I read the whole book.

This was my absolute favorite in the series so far. I loved it and read it so quickly. I wrote a full review on my Goodreads already, but if you haven't read it- it's a must read and probably my favorite Katee Robert book to date.

This preview gives a lovely taste of the latest installment in the series and I CAN NOT wait to read the full book! The story of Helen of Troy holds a special place in history when it comes to love stories and adding a saucy element can only improve the drama! Sign me up!

Katee Robert is definitely an auto-buy author for me now. This was another fun book in this series. I really enjoyed the main character and I am excited to see what this series has in store in the future.

This book was HOT! Katee Robert somehow leveled up from Neon Gods and Electric Idol for Wicked Beauty and I am here 👏 for 👏 it 👏.

Wicked Beauty is fast-paced, erotic and action packed, I read it in 24 hours. The Trials for the new Ares gave me anxiety with all the action and suspense but I loved it. The characters are done beautifully and Robert does a fantastic job building their backstories to how they fit together as a throuple. Patroclus is this deadly cinnamon roll, Achilles, a lethal bulldog, and Helen, a fierce warrior desperate for belonging and love. Somehow, they fit together perfectly.

While I’ve read polyamorous relationship stories before (love me a good RH), I’ve never read one with this relationship dynamic before. Where there is already an intense love between two people, then meet the third and their relationship grows from there. This new experience for me worked well for the Helen of Troy retelling. None of it felt off, like cheating, and her characters’ jealousy quickly turned to inclusivity for the relationship.

Did I love this as much as Electric Idol? I don’t think so, but Eros and Psyche will always be hard to beat for me. The teaser at the end of Apollo and Cassandra totally had me ready to preorder book 4, but can I ask..

IS ANYONE ELSE DYING FOR A PERSEUS (ZEUS) AND CALLISTO (HERA) BOOK?? Because it’s more than a need at this point!

This was actually a fun read, although kinda overwhelming bcs of info dumping at the start . I loved the tension in this book and very excited to read the next chapters (unfortunately i missed the chance to get the entire arc lol).

Consider me wowed. It's no secret that I'm a super fan of Katee Robert. Her writing is intense, captivating, and she always delivers a tricky, twisted, sexy and mysterious story line. The passion between Achilles, Patroclus and Helen is palpable. Thank you for another awesome preview.

This is sooo good!!! As soon as I read this preview I had to read the rest. It was not my favorite in the series, but the plot was so action packed. I love this series, and it is an instant buy for me.

Oh Katee…this was just a blurb, but I am ecstatic to read this book. I’ve read almost all of her previous books and she never disappoints. I can’t wait!
