A Greek God at the Ladies Club

One more step

It is definitely staying on my self. LOL I didn't cry on it, but my eyes did well up. Picture a greek god digging up his nose and tell me that is not too funny. You will have to read the book to see why he does that. LOL I really felt for Alexandra though, and the authors writing made you have no choice but to. She has had it rough and Darius doesn't make it any easier. I think the time line could have been streached out a little. I think Alexandra says all this book takes place in a matter of 6 dyas. Trust me, for all that goes on, you would think it would be more then that.

Some of the reviews on this was bad, but I thought it was a cute and fun and would definitely recomend it to others One person found this helpful. Jenna McKnight has written a witty, yet touching story. What happens when a playboy god gets caught in the act? He turns into a statue! Unfortunately, the husband is not as dense as the god hopes and destroys the statue. Three thousand years later an artist recreates the statue and the god comes back to life!

You can take it from there. There are several layers to the story which will keep your interest and get you chuckling. While it's essentially a light, fluffy read it's still very touching and will have you laughing out loud! Even the divine have ther foibles and favorites. McKnight plans this book as a first in an entertaing series. What's a Greek god to do when he's frozen inside a statue? He needs a sculptress to smooth out the imperfections if he wants to regain his humanoid form. For Darius, god of gems, he's cursed to live out his life in stone unless he finds true love.

With his playboy attitude, there is little chance of that happening until Alexandra comes along. An artist and manager of an orphanage, she doesn't understand why the statue she needs for a charity auction keeps disappearing. And who is that strangely garbed man that bears an uncanny resemblance to said statue? Might he feel as sensual in the flesh as he does in stone? When she and the children in her care begin to melt Darius's heart, he sees there's more to life than feasting and womanizing. Maybe he really can make a difference.

This humorous fantasy romance is just what you need for the perfect beach read.

Nov 10, Fadilah Rusdianshah rated it did not like it Shelves: I cannot finish this book. At first it was funny but then it does not able to attract me to read more. I tried hard to finish but stop at page I think there are some part where Jenna could describe a situation more but she didn't, and did when the situation didn't need more explanation.

The development of the story is rather messed up. And I hate the heroin. She is depicted to be kind hearted because she would go to certain length to help the children but at the I cannot finish this book. She is depicted to be kind hearted because she would go to certain length to help the children but at the same time doesn't really care about darius and the fact that darius is real.

All she did is trying hard to change Darius into stone again. How can a woman who is caring for children is barbaric to another. Her personality is twisted, and made me think whether or not she has bipolar. Sep 24, Beth rated it liked it Shelves: I'd recommend it as a summer beach read or any time someone wanted a light read. Not that the story is all fluff.

Alexandra has some serious challenges when the statue she carved, to raise money for the orphanage she was raised in, "disappears" because it came to life. And she was accused of stealing jewelry. And she's possibly being stalked by a mysterious man. But the nice thing about a A fun book. But the nice thing about a romance is that you know it will all turn out right in the end and this is not an exception.

Now if only McKnight would write some more books Sep 18, S. Rutherford rated it it was amazing Shelves: A very funny book and very easy to read! I recommend it to anyone. Though there are times I wonder if the writer forgot to polish a few things or add a few details because she confused the "hades" out of me severly by making you think one person was in the scene but never referring back to them again. Other than that, it just seems like she's a new writer and that was her first book. But all in all, very good and hardly any "juiciness", which serves up there for the clean-hearted type.

When there A very funny book and very easy to read! When there is a juicy scene, it's hardly even touched but for a mere paragraph or two. Funny and a very good read. Plus, since I love Greek mythology it was enjoyable to read. Aug 17, Kat rated it liked it. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Dec 17, Yesashwini rated it really liked it Shelves: I would have passionate sex with him but Alexandra does not do that. Well she was counting on the money coming from the sale of the statue is..

Frustrated physically, Shocked mentally, etc. Etc, Im not gonna tell more of the book. I personnaly hate spoilers so i not gonna spoil someone else. That came in a bad way I thought this was a cute story. It was enjoyable if you take it as it was intended.

It is not meant to be a deep insightful novel studying Greek mythology. It's just a light-hearted and sweet romance. The ending wrapped up a little quickly for my tastes, but it was still enjoyable.
