Being the son of Aphrodite isn’t a walk in the clouds. Rebelling against his demi-god status, billionaire make-up mogul Toraos Stephanos fights to separate his personal life and the immortal world by swearing off demi-god girlfriends forever. Too bad his newest employee can't take the hint.
Though Nikki secretly pines for her smoking hot boss, no way will she jeopardize her job and independence professing her love to a guy so clearly out of her league. Too bad that leaves her with only imagining him naked and thinking evil thoughts about the new girl. After a single bottle of Ambrosia and one night of passion... Nikki finally thinks she has a chance with the man of her dreams. But the next morning, Tor pretends like nothing happened, leaving Nikki with an emerging drive for combat—after all, turns out she is the daughter of Ares and she's about to make her mama proud.
All is fair in love and war... and Nikki's not about to let anyone forget it.
My Thoughts
I'm not particular with greek mythology genre so I didn't know what to expect with this book. Suddenly Beautiful has been in my kindle tablet for the past few weeks and I couldn't believe I just read this now!!
This is an easy, sweet funny romantic story that had me from the very first page!
Nikki has been Tor's faithful personal assistance for six years... after years of working at Kythera Cosmetics, she still lusted for him as much as she had the day she started but the man is oblivious to her feelings. She could probably dry hump his leg and he'd tell her to file something while she's down there. She's content to love him from afar until a newest employee Demetria comes in and made no pretense about her interest in Tor...
Tor is the CEO of Kythera, a successful cosmetic company. He's a demi-god (the son of Aphrodite) but turned his back to his status and determined to make himself all on his own. Nikki- safe, plain, dependable Nikki is always there when he needed her. He knows that Nikki is a demi godess (daughter of Ares), but of course she doesn't know this as she hasn't come to her powers yet. Sworn off to date any demi-gods, he's a workaholic and didn't make time for anything but Demetria (also a demi goddess), is hoping to get him to bed but so far Tor is resistant to her charm. She doses his wine with Ambrosia.. but her plan backfired because he totally ignored her and was focused on Nikki, who couldn't believe that after all this time Tor is seducing her... they kiss and all the rational thoughts went out of the window...
But what will happen when Tor didn't remember their night together?
I had instant connection to the story and couldn't put the darn book down! It's a quick read and was hoping it was longer but even though it's a short story we get to see some characters development. I loved both main characters, specially Nikki. I thought she was going to be the typical heroine but I was wrong. She's funny, witty and reading her POV was hilarious! Tor is your typical alpha male, flawless and sexy as shit! Well what do you expect? He's the son of Aphrodite. I love the elevator scene and the way he got jealous was so so manly. hehe! I hate and love Demetria, the bitch made this story more enjoyable. lol.
I'm not in love with the story but I really really liked it and highly recommend this to anyone who's looking for a light but sexy read!
I received this book from Entangled Publishing via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
