There are some books that you request from a favorite publisher and you have a good idea what you are going to get because in principle publishing houses whether they are long standing like Harlequin or Indie like Fated Desires typically have a style or feel.  Then sometimes you are handed books directly from authors that you have read or reviewed before and this can be a real treat.  Especially when a book just arrives in your inbox and you have a “I can’t believe this is happening to me” moment.  The last way I have received books is directly from authors themselves but you may have never read their work before.  Maybe you follow them on social media or you are part of the same group on Facebook and the author lets it be known that they are looking to have their work reviewed.  This book and Two for Tamara, which is book 2 in Ravens of War series, fall into this category.So I had nothing going into this story or author and was going in blind but the blurb did catch my attention.  Plus I seem to be smack dab in the middle of a Paranormal Romance craze at the moment and this book seemed to fit right in.  So I requested both books and I’m so pleased that I did.Our two heroes are brothers who were created by Zeus to maintain order on Olympus but once that was completed they were sent to Earth to find happiness and Zeus’ lost daughter.  Max and Malcom have spent centuries together and know each other inside and out and yet they have both felt something was missing from their lives.Meanwhile Selena Ramos has had a difficult life.  She was abandoned and then brought up in a home with elderly parents that adored her but she never felt she quite fit in.  As she has gotten older she has learned a variety of skills which aided her in meeting and saving her best friend Tamara from a vicious rape and murder.  She has created a life for herself by creating clubs that had a Southern charm and booty shaking dancing.The story begins with dream sequence and you can already feel the connection snapped into place between these three very unique characters.  The fact that Selena not only sees herself as a redneck country girl cracks me up especially when you have to consider everything about this book.  While Mal and Max are so different and yet they are opposite ends of the spectrum.  It still makes me smile that Max will on occasional mentally slap Mal’s head.  Not to mention the mental communication that gives you a clear insight into both of these men.The romance between these three is smoking.  The dream sequence at the beginning of the book alone was enough to make sure that I had a nice cool glass of tea beside me for the rest of my reading time.  Not to mention that I’m currently writing this review at 3:51 am because I have insomnia for the first time ever.Final Thoughts:  If you are looking to delve back into a world with amazing men, sassy woman and a storyline that builds then pick this story up.  Or if you just enjoy a good menage or triad romance then this is one to add to the collection.Elle Boon provided me with a copy of Selena’s Men but nothing else was exchanged for my honest review.
