Review: Entertaining But a Bit Lacking In Depth
Rating: 3 out of 5

This uniquely sexual look into the lives of Aphrodite's children is the third book in the Gods of Love series and has a similar format to the others.  People unfulfilled in their love lives come into contact with Gods who are masters in the art of love and sexuality and through a night of off the charts sexual play find their lives completely transformed.  These Gods find their existences changed forever as well which leads to a HEA for all.Sex Club Secrets adds in one of my favorite elements though with friends wanting to become lovers but unable to admit it until an outsider amps up the jealousy.  I enjoy seeing the slow burn of sexual jealousy, emotional intensity, and desperation this brings to the story. Although we don't get an in-depth look into the character's backgrounds there's no denying their deep connection.  A past life-altering event tethers Ella and Kade together and their finally getting together felt inevitable from the start.  Like in the previous books not much is known about the God except he too is lonely and capable of unending sexual antics.  They are superior to mere humans but still long to be a part of their lives.  There's always a sense of superiority surrounding the Gods and Anteros is no different.  He's too powerful to feel a true part of a human couple.  I enjoy the fun and sexual excitement he brings but he still feels like an outsider, a benevolent gifter of sexual gifts.This series is fun and super hot with a unique view of the Gods.  It's like a caloric dessert though where it's decadently delightful but full of fluff.  While I enjoyed Ella and Kade and loved them being together, I found Anteros to be the weak link since he never REALLY feels like part of them, and can never truly be.  Ms. Lynne creates a satisfying dream but the reality isn't as satisfying.  This story is an entertaining getaway but not a life-changing one.  But something about these Gods keeps bringing me back and with the cliffhanger involving Aphrodite looking for love through some sort of dating game, I'll definitely be picking up the next book in this series.3.5 Stars
