I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.Fate has decided that Siobhan is to fall in love with the greek God Apollo. He is the god of Music and the Sun. From the moment they met, he has been trying to get her into his bed. He desperately wants to have sex with her. Siobhan tells him no time and time again. She is a virgin at 22, and is not ready to give it up just yet. She knows that he is a God and if he wanted to he could just take her and she wouldn't be able to stop him. However he has left it up to her, to decide when she is ready for him.After a night out seeing a local band, she tells him she is ready. He takes her away to Sol, his house on the Sun. After that night she could not get enough of him. They made love every chance they got for weeks. After a conversation with her parents, she finds out that she is now the heir of the family estate and no longer her brother, at the request of his lord Apollo. This causes issues between her and her brother, and she is pissed. When Apollo arrives she tells him she no longer wants to see him and that she does not want to take her brothers birth right away from him. That she no longer chooses to do this, since he always told her that the choice would be hers. Apollo tells her it is to late, that she can not stop what has happened. She looks at him confused, as he walks out the door.Since the weeks Apollo has been gone, she has found out that she is pregnant. She is wishing she wouldn't of told him to leave, that she loves him and doesn't want him out of her life. As these thoughts are going through her head, Apollo appears. Knowing she wants him, she stands her ground. My lord why are you here. I have missed you Siobhan, I love you and it is killing me to be away. I was also wanting to know when you were going to tell me. You knew, when you were here last time didn't you. That's what you meant when you said I had already chosen. Yes my love. Not to worry I will be here for your whole pregnancy.They attend her families annual ball, where everyone is shocked and happy about her pregnancy with Apollo. Except her brother's fiancee Melissa. Siobhan is cornered by her and told if she wanted to see her friends alive again that she would follow her outside and not to scream for anyone. Once outside she can see her friends tied up and she looks at Melissa trying to figure out what this is all about. Melissa reveals that she is not really a human, but in fact Medussa the goddess cursed. She has been sent to kill Siobhan, but wants her to suffer first by seeing her friends get killed. Before Siobhan can tell Rupert not to look at Medussa in the eyes it is too late he is turned to stone and explodes. Vicky is freaking out crying and jumps on Medussa's back. One of the snakes in Medussa's hair strikes Vicky and she goes down. Siobhan is freaking out not knowing what to do. She can't feel her connection with Apollo, and is thinking she is going to die. All of a sudden she hears something come flying past her. It is sword and it has taken Medussa head clean off. She turns to see her brother coming rushing to make sure she is okay. Apollo comes rushing out to find her hysterical and crying over Vicky. She turns to him and begs him to save Vicky, he denies her nothing, knowing he is not suppose to save a human but does it anyways.Siobhan found out that she is having twins, and that her children will be protectors in the up coming Myth war. She has not seen Apollo since a week after their birth, it has been 6 months. He has returned to tell her that it is time for them to come and live in Sio, where they will be raised has demigods. She knew this day would come but didn't expect it so soon. She is upset, and knows there is no other way. Apollo tells her, he sees more children in their future, and the next one will come in 4 years.4 BombsThis was a good read. You find yourself loving and hating Apollo all at the same time. You would think that this book takes place back when the greek gods actually ran the earth, but it doesn't. It takes place in this day and age, which makes it a completely different book.Reviewed by Denisa
