I haven't read Annika Martin before, but after this one, I might have to make her an autobuy author. Her voice is so light and easy and fun. She gives her heroine, Isis (that's her badass bank-robber God Pack name, by the way, not her given name which is Melinda), this danger-seeking, unsatisfied with life vibe, but she balances it with a commitment to her sisters and to doing anything in her power to keep the bank from foreclosing on the Midwestern farm they inherited from their parents.Melinda is a bank teller whose boss is a jerk. When bank robbers hit her bank, she willingly--nay enthusiastically--helps them find all the best stuff. When things start to go wrong, though, the bank robbers take her hostage. This is far from the worst day of Melinda's life. In fact, being taken hostage by three athletic, badass bank robbers whose eyes seem electrified behind their zombie masks is pretty much the best thing that's ever happened to her. No sky dive or death-defying ski jump could compare to this!The bank robbers get trapped in a traffic stop, and Melinda offers to help them evade police. From here on, she is a sort of unwanted (by one of the bank robbers) but enthusiastic member of "The God Pack". That's right. The bank robbers call themselves The God Pack(Thor, Zeus, and Odin-cue swoon!). Melinda becomes Isis by majority vote. Thor and Odin want her in the pack for one wild week. Zeus does not, which is a bummer because he's the one she felt the strongest connection to during the robbery. Fortunately, Thor and Odin have "skillz" and they use those skills shamelessly to make her feel welcome. Now if only Zeus would warm up to her...Melinda feels a thrill of danger as Isis, and Thor and Odin definitely have the skillz to take her mind of Zeus's brooding, but there's more to her sexy bank robbers than meets the eye. They have a history, and she wants to know it all, but one of their rules (they have the skillz, but she has to follow the rules to enjoy them) is "No questions."This book has lots of action, danger, sex, and emotion. It's exactly what I look for in an erotic romance. I love the complication of Zeus's resistance to bringing Isis into the God Pack. This was a nice twist that made this book so special. I highly recommend it!
