*BIG SIGH* Why Oh Why, Liam Argyros AKA "LA" AKA Lord Apollo, did I give up playing the cello when I was 10? It could be you and I making sweet music together now . . . . Clearly I was enchanted by A Star's personification of the Sun God in Lover, Divine who oozed sex and power; a dangerous combination. I found this an interesting comparison to the version of Apollo I met in Kendare Blake's Antigoddess, only last month, who was loyal and protective.In Siobhan A Star has created a perfect match for Apollo; she is an independent and feisty young woman who will not be easily seduced. I do think it is unfortunate that as the story progresses her love and desire for Apollo becomes her motivating force rather than the ambition she has always held.A Star manages to include many mythological elements in Lover, Divine, some of which are very unpredictable, like the entrance of Medusa. I also think the author has left certain plot-lines unresolved and hope these will be established in King, Desired.Lover, Divine is sexy, passionate, mysterious and oh, so compelling! I for one cannot wait until installment two, but until then I may just read about Apollo again . . . and again . . . . .I received this as a review copy, but this has had no influence on my opinion.
