Granted it's only the first five chapters but I NEED THE REST ASAP. This series is such a guilty pleasure and I cannot wait to get my hands on a physical copy. No notes, this looks fantastic.

I love Katee Robert and I’m excited to read more. This particular series is a personal favorite of mine, and I really enjoyed this sneak peak into the next book.

I'm looking forward to Radiant Sin. I devoured this sample and can't find out what is going to happen to Apollo and Cassandra. Brand new take on the gods of Olympia.

Definitely a must read.

Oh my goddess, I love Cassandra and Apollo and can't wait to read the rest of their story! I want to know what is going on with the barrier. This teaser was perfect.

Thank you NetGalley and Katee Roberts for this 5 chapter Preview of Radiant Sin!

I know I’m going to love this book, and possibly have it be a new favorite.

Workplace romance, forced proximity, and fake dating, sign me up!

GAAAHHH!!! I cannot wait for more between Cassandra and Apollo! Fake relationship? Yes, please. Forced proximity? Yes, please! Cannot wait for the rest of the book. I already love Apollo being the teddy bear while Cassandra is the one with all the bite. Love it love it love it!

Thank you to the publisher for letting me read a small preview of this book!

This preview hooked me so much I finished it in a day. The protagonists are really interesting and entertaining, the writing is addictive. I'm desperate to know more about the main characters and what's going on in Olympus. Katee isn't lacking even if it´s the fourth book in the series, and I'll be getting it the second it releases. Katee's fans and people who like to read romance with really sexy scenes will love this one.

I am a massive Katee Robert fan and I’m positive she will knock my expectations out of the park with this one. Bristly FMC and a head-over-heels MMC? Sign me up. I can’t wait for the full release.

The Dark Olympus series is getting spicier and more fleshed out with Radiant Sin. Roberts has already established the worldbuilding of this universe, but Radiant Sin does a deeper dive into the politics as we follow Apollo and Cassandra who attend a dark and twisty murder-mystery party. Radiant Sin starts with my favorite trope, fake dating, and Roberts delivers as the two have to navigate politics and avoid murder all while being a picture-perfect couple of Olympus.

This book has started with all the tropes I enjoy.

Fake dating.

She's grumpy and guarded (for good reason). He's sunshine and a simp.

Though seriously Apollo is a decent and sweet guy and might become my favourite love interest for this series. The excerpt has me excited to the read the rest of this story when the book comes out in February!!

Ugh, where to start? I have a bunch of already existing feelings about Apollo and more feelings about Apollo and Cassandra but the Dark Olympus series isn't mythology.
With that said, all those feelings were tossed out the window with how Katee Robert has depicted Apollo. My bitter little heart wants me to keep hating him but he's just a big sweetie in a position of power.
Cassandra is the plus sized queen we all wish to be but that can be said about every plus sized heroine Katee Robert writes.
As Katee Robert expands on the characters in this series, they all continue to be so fully realized that you know who's on page without being told but she tells you. I live for how comprehensive Katee Robert books are and this one continues that theme so nicely.
I can't wait for the full release of this book. The preview was a tease that left me wanting, I'm on my knees begging for more!

This started out super slow. Honestly, I'm kind of annoyed/ confused by the dynamic between Cassandra and Apollo. Once I found out this book has the fake dating trope I was sold! Bring on Dark Olympus 4!


Thank you NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca for the sample!

Just finished reading a Radiant Sin Preview by Katee Robert and I have to say that February can't come soon enough so I can read the whole book . Radiant Sin has it all - a high level of conspiracy that even the spy master can't comprehend , even darker level of Dark Olympus , an undercover mission at a one week party . A one week party that can happen only on Olympus . Add a fake relationship and forced proximity and these too - Apollo and Cassandra , who are pinning for each other , but never act on it . And I have a suspicion that these too will heat up the pages of Radiant Sin . The question is after everything is said and done will Cassandra still want to leave Olympus and Apollo . Or is she going to take her place as a powerful and valuable member in the Olympus society circle . Because she has the needed qualities and the attitude already . I love it that Cassandra is such a powerful mix - she looks like Psyche and acts like Callisto . And she's the right match for Apollo for this mission . I love it that every book in The Dark Olympus series has a different voice that matches the heroes of the story . And I love the sarcastic Cassandra and thoughtful Apollo and I can't wait to read their story .

The first 5 chapters of this were AMAZING!! I am so excited for this to come out. This series is soo good and I can't wait to continue reading it. We have fake dating, forced proximity, and reverse grumpy sunshine, literally everything that I love. Katee Robert never disappoints!!!!

I absolutely adored this clip from Radiant Sin!! It has me so excited for the book to come out!! From what I can tell, I think Apollo will be in close runnings with Eros for my favorite MMC.

I was able to get the first five chapters of this book (which releases on February 7) through NetGalley, and so far, this book is everything that I look for (and love) in a Katee Robert novel.

We have two protagonists who are super into each other, but totally oblivious of the other's interest. Our main character, Cassandra is a smart, curvy, independent woman who takes a job working for Apollo. He's the only one who will pay her what she's worth because of her family's tarnished reputation. She's into him but thinks he would never go for her. He is crazy attracted to her but doesn't want to cross the boss/employee boundary.

Meanwhile, all is not well in Olympus. Some of the city's leaders, including Apollo, are interested in investigating some of the newcomers and hatch a scheme that involves Apollo and Cassandra posing as a couple so that Cassandra can get into (and spy at) an upcoming gala.

If you like workplaces romances, forced proximity, or the fake dating trope, this is book is setting up to be a winner.

Really looking forward to February so that I can read the rest of this book!

Long aware of the following this series has and of Katee Robert's fantastic presence on social media, I decided to dive into the Dark Olympus series with this preview. I knew I'd be a little lost in light of the number of previous installments. That certainly was the case with the security situation on Olympus. I'm not sure I could tell you why the leaders are worried. That being said, the relationship storyline is probably more important and in just the first chapter, that was interesting.

Take a workplace romance, throw in a potential forced proximity and only one bed, and then add a shopping spree to give our heroine the wardrobe to sleuth alongside her boss and we have a compelling start to the story. Bring on the rest.

Not nearly enough! This excellent preview has me craving so much more. I've adored the Dark Olympus series so far and I'm so excited to get to read Apollo and Cassandra's story. I love a good fake dating trope and combining that with forced proximity and reverse grumpy-sunshine has me so excited for all of the delicious banter, denied feelings, and eventual crumble that is to come. I can't wait to see more of Cassandra's strong, assertive self and I've already fallen in love with Apollo in these first few chapters. The sneak peek at the underlying conflict was also great and I can't wait to read more about the threat to the city. February can't come soon enough!

Radiant Sin (preview)
Katee Robert

I’m immediately thirsting for more! Apollo and Cassandra are teaming up in a fake-dating/forced proximity/reverse grumpy-sunshine scenario. They are invited to a week long party at the home of a newcomer with a bargaining chip and an unexpected understanding of the ruling structure. The secondary mission is to figure out who and what is behind the weakening border of Olympus and try to save it from unknown harms. The first 5 chapters set the scene for mystery, intrigue, strong and sassy women, and they hint at some serious sexual tension (and real, growing affection) that has been brewing for 5 years. It’s going to be explosive and I’m here for it!! Thank you to Katee Robert and Sourcebooks Casablanca for the preview! I can’t wait for the full length novel!

Absolutely loved the introduction to Cassandra Gataki and Apollo! Excited to read the rest and see this new fresh perspective of Dark Olympus from someone not tied to one of the 13.
