This review is from: Aphrodite's Passion (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm pretty picky when it comes to actually buying a book. That's why I love Amazon so much... the readers' and critics' reviews are invaluable. So I surprised myself when I grabbed this book off the display in front of the register in a bookstore and bought it after reading only the synopsis.
What a wonderful surprise!!
The Julie Kenner has an acute sense of humor and weaves a story full of fun, adventure and romance. The tongue in cheek writing is about a real superhero (actually a decendent of the Greek "gods" and protector of mortals) who's "cover" is to be a romance novel cover model, and who falls hard for a mortal. Tracy, the mortal he falls for just can't figure out why everything in the romance department was going horrendeously wrong and suddenly is now going in the exact opposite direction (and with more than just Hale, the superhero).
My only regret is that I didn't realize that this is the sequel to "Aphrodite's Kiss." There are some spoilers in Aphrodite's Passion with regard to the first book.

This book was even better than Aphrodite's Kiss. I hope she follows up with Mordi's story. I really don't want to give up all the characters yet. I wish I had a great group of friends like that!

Surprisingly good., April 19 2002
This review is from: Aphrodite's Passion (Mass Market Paperback)
I've read a couple of reviews that already give the gist of the story so I'll just give my opinion. I found Aphrodite's Passion so much better than Aphrodite's Kiss, the prequel. This is one of the few books that the heroine isn't an idiot. Which is a rare find these days. However, the hero, Hale, isn't my favorite type, hence the 4 star rating. I can't write what my problem with him is unless I give away too much so let's just say he's a really good hero but not great:)
If you're bored with the same old thing, I recommend buying this book.
