He was my enemy. My lover. My husband. And the one man I swore by all Olympus I would destroy.

A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Aphrodite and Hephaestus (and Pandora and Adonis).

Aphrodite has never flinched at getting her perfectly manicured hands dirty, and she's not about to start now—even if that means marrying Olympus's enemy number one, the new Hephaestus.

Review of 'Cruel Seduction' on 'Storygraph'

5 stars

I just absolutely adore this series! It's one of the few that I can't wait to be finished before I read, so instead I join the masses in the painful wait for the next volume to see what happens next! 

So, this one is an open poly knot, there is hate fucks and sweet dating, there is a new poly relationship, old lovers, broken hearts, and incredibly hot scenes with them. That first night with Adonis, Theseus, and Eris? YES. Spice is 5/5 for me, and Katee Robert is just so imaginative when it comes to spicy scenes! 

I love the politics of the Dark Olympus series, and I've read some of the books multiple times already... and can't wait for the next.
