**I received this book in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.  All opinions are mine.**My Review:I have always enjoyed Greek Mythology. Having just finished another Paranormal Romance of the same sub-genre, I was pretty sure that I would enjoySweet Hellas well.  The one drawback?  Dionysus.  As a rule he is portrayed as the son of Zeus, the God of fertility and wine, a patron of the arts... and a real jerk.  So did Rosanna overcome the very thing I dislike about him so much or was this going to be a long and painful story with a hero who was way too full of himself?The Good:  One look at the cover and I knew we were off to an excellent start.  If that was Dionysus, he was y-u-m-m-y!  Secondly, while my initial impression of him was more traditional, we quickly worked through that and onto some of the funniest and most clever dialogue I have read in a while.  I mean, who would think to write, "You immortal man whore!" or "Okay, Alex Trebek, so what makes Betty and Marianne the right answers?"  or best of all, "By Hera's rectum!"??  The humor throughout the book was choice.  The dynamics between Josie and Dionysus was superb and their feelings, no matter what they were at any given moment, seemed so perfectly genuine, I had no trouble believing them and suspending my disbelief while reading the story.The Bad:  Writing wise, there was nothing out of line that I noticed or that bothered me.  To some folks, the level of dirty language and vulgarity might be a problem but it was all used as part of the ongoing humor and had me in stitches.The Snuggly:  Oh. Wow.  I believe it was in The Princess Bride where they say something about in the history of all the best kisses that ever were, theirs was The Best.  Well in all of the best first kisses I have ever read or seen, Dionysus and Josie's was THE BEST.  And the foreplay and build up to the sex?  Oh!  Out of this World!  Seriously!  Sex on the altar of a Greek God?  In mid air?  With no desire but to please?  The descriptions were divine!  I could not take enough cold showers!  This is SO and 18 and over book...lol.Sweet Hellwas the perfect Paranormal book for escapism.  My mind was 100% there with Dionysus and Josie the entire time.  I could go on and on as there were multitudinous things I loved about it but you just need to read it for yourself.  This is the second in Rosanna's Greek God Series....May there be many more to come!5/5 Stars and 5/5 Flames!!
