Trapped for decades, a
powerful god seeks freedom ... and revenge. But the only thing that can save
him is the passion of a woman's touch …
Emma Keane is your average city girl trying to get a date.
There's just one thing holding her back: the disembodied male voice speaking to
her through her mind. Sound kind of crazy? Maybe. But crazy turns downright
deadly when the voice persuades her to travel to the wilds of the Mayan jungle.
There she will free his body-his incredibly hot, muscled, naked body.
Humans are so frail, so undisciplined, so susceptible to
love. And when this ancient being connects with Emma, the feelings she sparks
drive him utterly mad. Protective, keep-her-close, never-let-her-go kind of
mad. Which might not be such a bad thing because from the moment the beautiful,
passionate Emma unshackles his body, they are hunted at every turn. Now he'll
have to do everything in his power to keep her safe. But will it be enough?

I was torn when reading this, I really wanted to like the
characters and plot, but there was something about it that just made me feel meh. It was all entertaining enough, but
I could not really devote myself to the story because it was a bit all over the
place. The over arcing story was told in a bit of an odd way, that made it hard
for me to connect with it all, even the information on the gods was hard to
come by, which I think could have made the story more entertaining, to know
more about these deities and their escapades.
Emma was hard to stand at times, her back and forth on
whether Guy’s controlling and jealous actions made me want to yell at her and
tell her to make up her mind. Either tell him to shove off or accept it. But
please, stop complaining about it. Some of what happened was very predictable,
especially what happened between Tommaso and Emma, as well as who would
ultimately betray them.
Overall, it was an okay read, I did not dislike it. I
enjoyed the writing and witty remarks. I just could not get too invested in the
love story, as I did not feel as though the two leads were right for each other.
I am also confused as to how the whole series works. Are they all companion
novels and novellas? Or are there sequels mixed in? I don’t really know. I
might check out another one just to find out, and see if I like the
protagonists better than I did in this one.
