Funny and Unique,
By
This review is from: Aphrodite's Secret (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the first of the "Mortal Protector" series. The next book is "Aphrodite's Passion". I thought the second book was better, and so did many people who have posted their reviews here. Because of the reviews, I almost didn't read the book (I read the second book first), but now I'm glad I did. It's still a very funny book with lots of action and adventure.By the way, the publisher is publishing the third of the series -- "Aphrodite's (?)" -- this spring. Since Julie Kenner's writing gets noticibly better from one book to the other, I'm anxiously awaiting the new book!

A funny sequel.,

This review is from: Aphrodite's Secret (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the second book by this author that I've read and I loved it. Its not a direct sequel but two of the supporting characters from the first book "The Cat's Fancy" Deena and Hoop are just as wonderful in this book.The heorine is a Superheroine, or at least a would be Superheroine. Zoe Smith is from a race of people that in ancient Greece were know as the Gods. She half human and half superhero. Her mother was human and her father a Protector(superhero).She has super powers like x-ray vision and telekinesis(she's still working on this). She has very heightened senses so that even eating is a challenge. Her mother doesn't know her secret and in oder to become a full fedged superhero she must tell her. She has to do this before her 25th birthday which is approaching fast. If this wasn't enough pressure she soon meets up with a mortal man who drives her crazy. George Taylor P.I. is on a case that he despises. He is broke and needs the money so he accepts the job and meets Zoe. He is knocked for a loop. He is longing for a a normal woman who wants to settle down, he thinks he has met that in Zoe but soon finds himself choved into a world that he can barely comprehend. He has always been the protector and now has to let Zoe protect him and this causes some conflicts. There is also a element of danger thrown into all of this by Zoe's cousin Mordi, who is also a halfing and approaching his 25th birthday. He needs something Zoe has but doesn't know she has and he will do just about anything to get it. The struggle over good vs. evil is wonderfully written and kept me at the edge of my seat. I really enjoyed this book. It was funny, touching and action packed. I can't wait for the next book in the series. I hope there are several more.

Romance, comedy, superheroes--this book has it all!,
By Kathryn (Southern CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Aphrodite's Secret (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm not usually a fan of romance novels but I decided to give Aphrodite's Kiss a try since it presented an interesting idea: a race of superhumans who are descended from Greek gods and goddesses (called Protectors). Zoe Smith, who is half Protector and half human, is faced with an important decision on her 25th birthday--she can either become an Outcast (a full blown mortal with no superpowers whatsoever) or a Protector. To become a Protector she must face several challenges, including saving the world from her evil uncle and cousin. In addition to having the fate of the world rest in her hands, she faces love problems: she meets the man of her dreams, George Taylor (an ex-cop who just wants to find a girl who is normal).Although the romance started off a bit unrealistically, it got much better as the book progressed. The chemistry between the main characters was good, and the relationship seemed plausible (after the first meeting, of course). In addition, the other aspects of the story were very entertaining. A lot of comedy was thrown in. Also, the idea of the descendants of the superhuman Protectors was terrific--after all, who doesn't want to be a superhero? Overall, Julie Kenner blends a perfect amount of fantasy, romance, and comedy into a delightful story. I can't wait to read more of her books, specifically the next one in this series, Aphrodite's Passion!
