Helpful Score: 1
First book in a 4 book series regarding modern day superheros. They were all fun to read and best read in order. I hate reading a book and finding out that there were other books regarding the characters that were done prior: The order is: Aphrodite's Kiss, Aphrodite's Passion, Aphrodite's Secret and Aphrodite's Flame.

This book is writen mostly from a mans perspective and it works. The auther is very talented at getting you involved and loveing every minunit of it.

I just couldn't get into this book. I think it was because I did not read the prior books, but because of not being able to connect to this book I probably won't. The author did not provide enough info to understand the story & situation if you were just jumping in on this book. I read it about half way through and just gave up on it. If you read the first ones I suspect the book would be good though.
I love her work - this one is a great part of the superhero series.
Loved this series...if you like a story filled with humor and/or you have a love of superheroes...this is a great series. This is book one...each book in the series introduces you to characters you will meet in later books. This male superhero has powers involving water....lots of fish references :)Totally cool story! Only posting this series because I need to make room for new books.
Aphrodites Secret by Julie Kenner
Protectors/Superheros Series Book 3 (5th Story)
Jason Murphy is a Protector with bad timing. When his girlfriend gave him what should have been good news, he decided to take care of some other business before celebrating. Who knew hed be held captive for six long years. By the time he was allowed back into the real world he had lost almost seven years of his life. He had vengeance on his mind.
Lane Kent had been alone for a long time. She did have her foster brother Taylor who watched over her and Davy, her son. And now she had a whole group of friends and secrets. Taylors wife Zoe and her brother Hale are Protectors and now she finds out the man who left her so long ago is also one. Even though Jason wants to be part of her life once again she just cant do it. Being raised in foster homes all her life all she wants for her son is a stable home. And she found just the guy who can give them that. And its not Jason Murphy.
One of Jasons unique gifts is talking with those of the fin family. And why not when he is most comfortable in the water himself. I enjoy the way the author brings back the previous characters and their unique personalities into each book, including Elmer the ferret. The fourth book in the series, which is actually the sixth story, is Aphrodites Flame. Mordi finally gets his story told.

Jason Murphy could talk to creatures of the sea. He could also change into a dolphin, and had a ton of other superpowers like all Protectors; but none of them really helped his situation. The love of his life didn't trust him anymore-thought his devotion wasfishy. Sure, she had her reasons: when she'd needed him most, he'd been focusing on his super-career. But that was all over. He vowed to win her back.
It wasn't going to be easy. His outcast father was still plotting world domination, and Jason was still pledged to protect mortals everywhere. His other Protector friends didn't trust him, feared his commitment to justice. And though Lane still loved him-he could see it in her eyes-how to win her hand in marriage seemed the best-kept secret ever.
Heck, pretty soon Jason would swear that beating up the bad guys was easy; it was this relationship stuff that took a true superman!
