ARC Review: Goddess in the Middle by Stephanie Julian

Goddess in the Middle

by Stephanie Julian

Forgotten Goddesses #3

Amity, the almost forgotten Etruscan Goddess of Health has little power left, but with what little remains she works as an aesthetist. But Charun the god of the Underworld has targeted her next and has started to appear in her dreams, especially when she starts being stalked by a demon. But, is it coincidence when Remy and Rom the lovers she took the night before kill the demon, or are they more then they seem?

I need to cool down a bit after reading this, there is no question that this was a hot read! Full or gorgeous angsty lucani (werewolves) and a goddess making the filling in a very delicious sandwich. The sex was well written, hot and dirty, the literally made their woman pass out! Although sometimes the lust did feel a little out of place, even in tense life and death situations they seemed to be thinking about sex.

Although I enjoyed this book, I do sometimes feel I am getting lost in all the names, events and peoples in it. Ms Julian has built up a rich world and I think it helps if you have read a few more of her other books so you can get a feel of her world and her background characters.

Overall I did enjoy this book, I like the idea of the fading godesses and I look forward to reading the next in the series.

Review: How to Worship a Goddess by Stephanie Julian

How To Worship A Goddess (Forgotten Goddesses #2)

by Stephanie Julian

Erotic Romance

Lucy, the Etruscan Goddess of the Moon and the goddess the Lucani worship. However, there are demons after her trying to steal her power to get their master out the Underworld, which makes is really bad timing when Brandon Stevenson, the ice hockey player she has been lusting sfter for two seasons steps into her bar looking for her.

I confess, I have been a bad bad girl! Normally I am really OCD about reading books in order, but I have been naughty as I haven't read the first book yet: What a Goddess Wants, something I am going to have in immediately rectify as I really liked this book.

I liked the characters of Lucy and Brand in this book, I thought they made a sweet as well as flaming hot couple! The sex in this book was hot and frequent, Brand was a fricking love machine and had that dominant edge that gets me all hot and bothered, I would kinda hate Lucy if I didn't like her so much! However, don't be put off by my sex-being-frequent comment, as although it is, it doesn't drown the book so you are reading 350 pages of being getting their end off. This book does have a story, one which continues from the previous book, and I will definitely be reading the next book in the series to see what will happen next.

Stephanie Julian has written a lot of books, all set in the same world, which is fantastic as I get the impression that some of the characters in this book were HEAs from her other series. But, this did make it a little confusing, I understood the world but I did get mixed up with what species was what. Not enough to ruin the book, but I think I definitely need to read some more of her other books till I get my head around it.

A great read, I enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone wanting an erotica with a big heap of romance.
