ARC BOOK REVIEW: The Goddess (Idol Series) by Robyn Grady

The Goddess by Robyn Grady 
Series: Idol Series
Genres: Contemporary Romance
 Publication Date: May 12, 2013 
My Rating: ♥♥
After college graduation, Helene Masters is excited to land a job in a picturesque Aegean kingdom. Tasked with sprucing up the Prince's villa, she inadvertently finds herself trapped on the  island with the sexiest man alive. Of course she has to fall for a man who is destined to only marry royalty.

Darius Vasily, Prince of Teirenias, can't figure out what pretty, but accident-prone, Helene is doing at his private estate. After dousing him in paint, she disappears inside the secret cave holding the royal family treasure—a fertility statue, but a cave-in traps them both. Now Darius has to figure out how to save them before he kills her for getting them into this mess in the first place—or gives into their amazing chemistry.





My Thoughts

The cover and blurb are the reason why I requested this on netgalley. I love the cover and I'm a sucker for royal prince falling for a non royal girl.. so yeah shoot me!

This is a short read but it took me awhile to finish this book... You know when you start to read a book and you feel empty? Then you drop it and read another book? That's what happened to me here... I kinda struggle with the characters and story. Both of them are interesting and likeable but I didn't feel any connection what-so-ever. I didn't believe in anything and the story is somewhat predictable.. I'm all into predictable romance, heck! I've read tons of them and enjoy it but in The Goddesss it was nothing.

To be fair, I actually gave this another chance but unfortunately still the same feeling... empty.

It's quite disappointing because I'm familiar with Robyn Grady books, I read few of her harlequin books and love them... The Goddess is well written with nice detailed but I guess this book is just not for me.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

About the Author
Robyn received a book from her big sister and immediately fell in love with Cinderella. Sprinklings of magic, deepest wishes come true - she was hooked! Picture books with glass slippers later gave way to romance novels. When she was older, she wanted to write one.
Robyn lives with her own modern-day hero on Australia's Sunshine Coast with their three little princesses, as well as two poodles and a cat called Tinkie. She has majors in English literature and psychology, and loves new shoes, worn jeans, visits to the theatre and lunches at picturesque Moffat Beach with her writer friends.
