Despite not being a romance reader, I enjoyed this sequel to Persephone in Bloom. The fake dating of two mature and likeable characters (although they each had baggage to work through) played out well against the “high society” background. I liked the mythological references, although it’s a perfectly readable story even if you’re not familiar with them. Oddly, my biggest chuckle was over Heph’s surname being “Smith”. The other characters were fun as well, and I’m sure we’ll see more of them.

As a minor criticism, I could have done with a bit less internal angst about perceived inadequacies.

Overall, an enjoyable fast read.

Aphrodite and Heph ran into each other in Persephone in Bloom. Aphrodite is a model/actress who wants to convince the media she’s moved on from her ex; Heph is an IT security specialist who wants to stop his older sisters’ meddling from match-making. They embark on a fake-dating arrangement.

This was fun. But it was also thoughtful about things, including who is to blame when a powerful married man has an affair with a teenage girl (that would be Aphrodite’s backstory). And the way people approach and accept their disabilities. Heph’s use of mobility aids is such a matter-of-fact part of his life, but he hasn’t had the option of hiding that part of himself, whereas Aphrodite has been able to keep her learning difficulties a secret.

“This may shock you,” Heph said solemnly, “but I do know something about how difficult it is to move through a world that wasn’t made for you.”
Aphrodite widened her eyes at him. “No way!”
