Finally Summer is here, and that means the time is ripe for spending an afternoon in the sun with a good summer read.
The Goddess by Robyn Grady from
Entangled Publishing is a perfect book to lose yourself in on a sunny afternoon. Robyn give us a plucky American girl with an adventurous spirit named Helene who happens to meet a Prince on a beautiful Greek Isle. Throw in some well-rounded secondary characters and a bit of magic courtesy of an ancient statue and you have an engaging read.
I great enjoyed both Helene and Darius, they weren't fools in love, they were adults who considered the consequences of their actions. Darius is a Prince in the modern world on a small island and has centuries of tradition to consider and Helene is an outsider. It was fun to watch them experience each other and to open up to love.
Robyn Grady adds a story within the story, which at first I was not a fan of, but as the book continued I found the second story a great mirroring of how the romance of Helene and Darius would have turned out had they met in less 'enlightened' times.
If you've had a hard winter, and are ready to escape, throw on your shades, grab
The Goddess and hit the beach!
