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. She has a wicked plan to keep her deadly new husband off-balance, seducing the one person he seems to care about most in this world: Pandora, a woman as beautiful as she is sweet.Two can play the seduction game, however, and Hephaestus is all too happy to put his new wife in her place. Her ex, Adonis, seems like he'll do the trick. It doesn't hurt that he's gorgeous in the way of fallen angels, either.The only problem with using seduction as a weapon? Hearts are all too quick to get involved. With Hephaestus and Aphrodite trading venomous strikes that feel a whole lot like foreplay, lines become blurred and emotions entangled. But a broken heart may be the least of their worries. With unrest in Olympus reaching new heights, these bedroom games may have deadly consequences for themselves, their city, and everyone they've come to love."Deliciously inventive...Red-hot."—Publishers Weekly STARRED Review for Neon Gods"I get shivers just thinking of their interactions.

"4.5⭐
This book was just…wow!!! I wasn't sure what to expect going into it, but I wasn't disappointed in the least! It ended up being really good, and I think it might just be my favorite of the series so far! The plot was fun and the spice was 🌶️🔥🥵!!! The politics were also much more complex in this book than in any of the previous ones, so I definitely enjoyed that! Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Pandora, and Adonis were all lovable, well written characters, though I think Adonis was probably my favorite! I loved how all the relationship dynamics were handled! MMFF, marriage of convenience, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, second chance, grumpy x sunshine, very spicy, and multiple POV! "
"I enjoy these books about the political machinations and romances in a modern day Olympus as a palate cleanser between longer books. This series does have a lot of non fade to black spice."

"Aphrodite marries Hephaestus and what starts as an enemies to lovers relationship with this pair quickly spices up when Adonis (Aphrodite's ex)hooks up with Hephaestus and Pandora (Hephaestus ex) gets involved with Aphrodite. Not as spicy as the previous books in this series but still very entertaining; I love Katee Robert. <br/>FF, MM, MFM"
"This was messy in a good way. While the relationship between Hephaestus and Aphrodite felt a little rushed for my liking I did still enjoy watching their growth together and apart. The added lovers helped heighten each characters strengths. This book feels like classic Katee Robert in the best way.<br/><br/>Thank you to Edelweiss for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review."
