Oh Sweet Hell, I'm in love.... With Dionysus. The son of Zeus, the God of fertility and wine, a patron of the arts... and one fiiiiine man. When this story starts he is a playboy, and a cocky one at that. Then one step into one bakery and his life forever more has changed. See, at this bakery is Josie Marino, coffee and baker extraordinaire. And even though she is typically not his type, he is very soon finding himself enthralled with her - and she with him. Now if we can get them both to realize it, eh?"He looked up at her. His bleep soared, doing a rowdy dance of happiness."Now that's a greeting I can really get on board with! She's got him tongue tied and twisted, something that doesn't happen to gods too often!Rosanna Leo has managed to write a romance that is funny and interesting, dramatic and tender. Her sense of humor comes through in spades, and I was in complete joy. How could you not be with lines like:"By the great hairy balls of Zeus! What the bleep was going on?"Best.Line.Ever. I really must find a way to use this line in every day conversation. Even funnier since Dionysus is the son of Zeus ;)Dionysus and Josie were both terrific characters, easily likeable and easy to care for. Dionysus comes to the bakery for months, coaching Josie on the perfect cup of coffee, never making a move on her. But meanwhile they are falling for each other. I loved it! At times he was positively an bleep to Josie, pretty much the equivalent of a school yard boy picking on a girl cause in reality he liked her.But then Dionysus' past catches up with him, and he must make a dangerous trip. But Josie isn't about to let him out of her sight just yet.Josie and Dionysus' adventure of tribulations is vastly unlike any other. Infused with Rosanna's great sense of humor, their journey covers everything; fear, hate, love, sadness, joy, laughter, arousal, comfort, and even more. This isn't just another love story. There is great heart. And seriously, a first kiss that has got me thinking I might start a first kiss rating on my site. Dionysus and Josie would get a 5!
