Publication Date: February 17th 2020

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Synopsis:

When Lyleia Naiad was head-hunted by Brimstone, Inc., for her job as Executive Assistant to a high-powered billionaire demigod, she was given one directive—do NOT fall in love with Castor Dioskouri. Doesn’t matter if he is the son of Zeus and can electrify a room with a single glance. As an ex-nymph, she possesses a unique ability—a gift from the goddesses to protect nymphs from the randy gods—to resist her boss’s charms.
 
Or so she thought.
 
He insists she accompany him to an alpha wolf shifter mating ceremony, an event where the pheromones fly, and so do clothes…and inhibitions.
 
Goddesses save her, because Castor has stolen into Lyleia’s heart, and she’s not so sure she can hold out much longer…

A funny, quick and  strong chemistry office romance with a paranormal/mythological twist! 

Owen was able to deliver a lot in a short, 100 page novel. As I continue to explore Owen’s books I am falling more and more in love. She is able to create such unique stories that are full of hot and steamy moments. I adored the use of mythology and paranormal aspects that played into an urban setting! 

This is a steamy office romance between an executive assistant who is also a fallen nymph and her boss who is a demigod, the son of Zeus. If that doesn’t catch your interest and intrigue you into picking up this book I am not sure what will. 

Leia was a fierce, sassy and independent woman that was not afraid to express and say what she felt. The added elements of her past and how they were affecting her future really added to her overall character. Then you have Castor who is the large, strong and cold business man that has a very different inside then his outward appearance would lead you to believe. 

I loved that this book made mention to Owen’s dragon shifter world and I am hoping that they will end up colliding! The one small issue I had with this book is it was too short. I want more from the story and felt like she could have done so much with it. There were a few scenes that just happened and we were told what happened, not shown. It caused the story to be a little rushed at times. I am really interested to see where this series goes though. 

Overall this book, although short was really packed with all the right elements. It had the characters you love to hate, the characters you just dislike, mythological and paranormal aspects in an urban setting. It gives you the quirky, funny office romance filled with sexual tension, sacrifices and steamy moments! This was a fast paced read that was not short on action, romance and just a great feeling in the way it ended.
