Review: Perk with perks!
Rating: 5 out of 5

I haven’t read any other books in Saranna’s series of Desperate Wives, but this story appealed to me because of the characters’ origins. Avalon? Absolutely. I’ll advise ahead of time that this story did just fine as a stand-alone because I never found myself confused . This story takes characters from both myth and legend, combining an array of gods and goddesses and mixing them well with powerful figures from Avalon, displaying a possibility after the ‘happily-ever-after’.Main concept in the story is Artemis is finally convinced that she is ready to, how Saranna puts so politely, ‘punch her V-card’ and lose her chastity. Having never been with a man before, Artemis isn’t sure on how to attain her goal. Who better to assist than the goddess of love herself, Aphrodite? To facilitate her plan, the two goddesses embark on a vacation trip located nowhere else but the fabled Avalon, where Guinevere and Arthur have all but had their happy endings.I enjoyed the creativity of each individual’s status, the tongue-in-cheek (and other places) humor and the colorful descriptions of both persons and place. The story continued to surprise as more and more mayhem was tossed into the pot, resulting in an often funny and touching romance sure to please.Recommended for readers looking for a romance with perk and perks, as the scenes are steamy while retaining wit.
