I love mythology and was glad to read a new twist on some old tales.  I kept wanting to like this story, I mean I honestly wanted to enjoy this novella, but I kept getting confused about where this story line was going.  From beginning to end, this was no ordinary romance.  I kept expecting the pieces to fall into place -- for the heroine to stop being lukewarm and for the hero to stop acting like a self-serving mama's boy -- but it never happened, not once.  Then I read the author's note at the end.  Afterward, I understood exactly what happened with this story and had a better view as to what was not supposed to happen in this romance. I give the author many claps for trying something different and for his motives in doing so...I absolutely agree with his take on the current state of romance writing.  I do, however, hope the sequel is a little more heartwarming and has a lot more chemistry between the main couple.
