A very interesting name for a very interesting woman, Persephone, meaning "Greek Goddess of the Underworld", only to Mark, the name means "Goddess of the Dead".  The interpretation I got from reading the story is that Mark is your "knight" to Persephone and she's "of the dead."  What can go wrong in one week? In Persephone's case, no check for her wrecked car, eviction from her rental home, homeless and worst of all, she got fired.All it took was for Rose, Mark's daughter, to get attached to Persephone as she called her "Ms. Purr-So-Funny."  They hit it off since the first day in daycare, so Mark asked Persephone to babysit for him so he could do some work in his office. Mark was always working, so Persephone became part of the duo. Mark was very attracted to her, but he was still a married man, as his divorce was still not final.Persephone is a very clumsy woman, but she also had very bad luck. I could not believe everything that happened to her in a matter of days.  She needed money to pay her rent, if not she was going to be evicted, so she found herself in a gentlemen's club ready to strip.  Only there was a nice lady there that lent her the money but not even that helped as they evicted her anyway.  Then Mark's daughter, Rose, gets ill, and when she takes her to the hospital, she breaks the daycare's policy and gets fired.  I felt so bad for her but then the opportunity came to take care of Rose full-time, and luck at that point was on her side. Persephone was falling for her boss but she couldn't help it, as he was so gorgeous. But he was still married, and there was the matter of her problems--being homeless with no money, and worse, her father was in prison for embezzlement.KNIGHT OF THE DEAD flows well and the writing is clean.  I enjoyed the part where the author threw me for a loop and dashed all my preconceived notions of how this story was going. This was an enjoyable read, sweet and sensual with characters that loved each other with each passing day.  The one thing that I truly enjoyed was that both Mark and Persephone waited for their relationship to grow closer until his divorce was final, but that didn't stop them from enjoying themselves.I truly enjoyed this sweet sensual read. Pick up this book today and get lost in the world of Mark, Persephone and Rosa.Reviewed by CozyReaderfor TheRomanceReviews.com
