This series is so fun to read!  While each book is a story in itself, I'm glad I read #1 before #2.Staci writes fiction intertwining some Greek mythology with current day figures and romance.  In book #1 the story revolves around Apollo and Aphrodite immersed in a competitive game (olympians, right?)  Of love between 2 humans.  The perfect  male chosen by Apollo is a singer (for the god of music).  The counterbalance chosen by aphrodite is a poet.  Also thrown in is a piece of the Greek story of Apollo's daphne.In book #2 the competition is between Ares, who chooses an alpha male whose occupation is fighting (appropo for a god that embodies violence) and Aphrodite counterbalances with a strong female that is a protector of violence.We are also aware of the story of the involvement of Ares with Adonis (introduced in book #1).Staci has successfully shown us how intricately she can weave POV's between the gods and the stories of the humans.Book #3 due in early 2014 is with Artemis.  I can't wait to see how Staci uses her story!
