Paranormal Romance

Zoe, the daughter of Zeus and a Muse of Beauty, is one of three sisters sent to earth by the King of Gods. Zoe has been given one year to inspire mortals and prove her worth to Mount Olympus, and has only one rule: Do NOT fall in love. Zoe is determined to win Zeus’ favor.

With her new job as a freelance department store window decorator, Zoe is a fabulous interior designer. She furthers her career by volunteering to help out newly divorced women achieve the fashion styles they desire in order to land the job that they need. Surely, with all this work, Zoe will convince her father of her necessity in the world.

But when Theo Maragos, an incredibly handsome but scruffy computer geek, comes to seek her advice and offers her employment, it seems like icing on the cake. Theo is the CEO of an up and coming computer company. Designing his loft for a magazine spread, and being allowed full control over Theo’s wardrobe is a dream come true. And the exposure garnered by the magazine photos will undoubtedly convince Zeus to spare her any punishment. Now if only Theo wasn’t so attractive, and she didn’t like him so much. Why does it suddenly not seem so exciting to return home?

I really loved this story. I loved the creativity of the author in coming up with a plot that involves Greek history and modern romance. I loved that the minor characters were still fleshed out and likable, and that their stories were also told. I loved the humor and the wit of all the characters. This was just a completely relaxing and enjoyable read, and this is a book I will certainly read again.
