I didn't really know what to expect from this book after reading the blurb, but I am happy to say it was a fascinating read. It's a short read, but the author did a fantastic job drawing you in and not letting you go. The characters are unforgettable, and the emotions felt completely real.I haven't had the chance to read book one in this series, but I am definitely going to read it now. The series follows the Greek Gods of Love, and Aphrodite Calling is centered on Himeros the God of Sexual Desire, and let me tell you he is Hot Hot Hot!...  Now to the review.Gina a transsexual formally known a Gerry is attending her high school reunion. This is the first time her old classmates have seen her as a full woman. Gina is already nervous, and then she has a run in with her former nemesis Maris. Gina frantically tries to think of a way to shut Maris down, So she tells a little white lie. She claims that the the stunningly handsome man at the bar is her fiance. Gina has no idea that he is the Greek God Himeros, or that he wants her.Himeros hears the silent call coming from Gina's heart, and rides in to rescue her, and put all of her judgemental classmates in their place. (It was brilliant) He then whisk Gina away for a night of hot passion that neither will ever be able to forget. Himeros sees a kindred soul in Gina, they are both suffering from loneliness. He thinks no one will see him for who he really is, but Gina does because she has been there. Neither one of them think that they will ever find someone who will truly understand them, and can fill the void inside. That they find each other, and each offers acceptance of who they truly are, makes this story very endearing.This story was truly beautiful, even though it was short you feel all the emotion, and passion behind the characters. The way the author gets in Gina's head, you feel her heartache, and her loneliness from her teen years to the present. It was a excellent job by the author in my opinion. Her character had so much depth you couldn't help but feel what she felt, I felt like I was walking the road with her.Himeros is everything you would expect in a god, blatant sexuality, gorgeous, and a to die for body. I liked how he was so in tuned to Gina. In most books you read involving gods, they are always self absorbed and stuck up. He was not like that at all, and the way he treated Gina definitely gave him endearing qualities. You wouldn't think that a God would actually need someone to be happy. The sex scenes were so hot, I thought my eyes would melt. The author definitely had me needing a cold glass of water and a fan. They were very well done.Aphrodite Calling was a treat to read, and I can't wait to see what Ms. Lynne has in store for us with the next book in the series. I will definitely be picking it up.*****5 STARS!
