Cursed by Hera for an insult she thought he dealt her, Nico Stanopolous has spent hundreds of years being a sex slave – along with his friend Andreas, a leopard shifter.  Throughout their entire curse, they have been searching for some way to end their affliction.  When word comes that an ostracon with the formula needed to free them has been purchased, Nico knows he will stop at nothing to free himself. 

 

Unable to reach the woman before she sells the artifact, Nico is disheartened but finds himself extremely attracted to the pretty and unassuming antiques dealer.  Somehow, someway, somewhere Nico means to be free to enjoy Patricia as he likes and the biggest lesson of all is very close to home.  Freedom lies within his and Patricia’s hearts; if only they would stop long enough and listen to the feelings and emotions each brings out in the other. 

 

I found myself smiling immediately upon opening MORTAL TEMPTATIONS.  I can only imagine waking up and finding a naked, winged man in my home.  Like Patricia, I would try and think of every reason why I was the one going nuts instead of believing.  I am glad that Patricia came around, however, because Nico was her soul mate.  Their attraction to each other was instantaneous and over the top scorching hot.  Add Andreas in to the mix and I was in ménage heaven. 

 

MORTAL TEMPTATIONS is not an average book by any means.  Mythology and angry gods and demons play huge roles in the situations in which the characters find themselves.  The woman everyone loves to hate, the Greek goddess Hera, makes an appearance just to stir things up a bit.  Before I knew it I was a believer in the supernatural as well.  MORTAL TEMPTATIONS is the first book in a new series and I am anxiously awaiting the next installment!

 

Angry goddesses, hulking demons, love scenes that will melt wax – MORTAL TEMPTATIONS is a brilliant release!  Kudos to Allyson James – I definitely think she has a successful series on her hands.
