I loved this book. Lucien was absolutely stunning. Tortured in the fact that he thinks no woman will ever love him because of his scars. Also the fact that he thinks he will never find another woman to love sinc he is the Lord of Death and will have to take his love's soul to heaven or hell. He is so sad and lonely.

Yet low and behold Anya enters his world. A tough, strong, independent, sarcastic, smart, beautiful woman that loves him. though he can not understand why. Anya loves Lucien. Being the strong willed woman goes after him with everything she has. From the beginning, I knew I would like Anya. She was the kind of heroine who knows what she wants, and is willing to work for it.

Anya's sarcastic humor and strong will drew me in right away. Even though she lied at times she was the kind of woman that Lucien needed to bring him out of his solitude. Her love frees him from the way sees himself, as ugly and an unlovable monster.

I felt bad for Anya. Being the daughter of the most promiscuous goddess on Olympus, Dysnomia, couldn't have been easy. Everyone was just waiting for her to follow in her mother's footsteps. Yet Anya is not that person. She fears being committed to a person and therefore never truly has given herself to anyone until Lucien. She is cursed by a goddess and Anya must make the decision is Lucien worth giving into that curse and committing herself to Lucien for eternity. Lucien could do worse than have a woman who completely adored him, even to the point of being willing to give up her freedom in more than one crucial way.

Lucien is the strong, silent type, and wonderfully broody. He's actually pretty honorable. He is a man that caused his own scars for fear of a falling for another woman after his first love died. His insecurities about the way he looked and Anya truly liking him made gave him that human feeling. Even though he is a demon/lord/immortal this gave him a human side.

This book had action, romance, steamy love scenes, and side stories to make the book even more interesting. Even Maddox and Ashlyn make an apperance. So you still are kept up to date from the previous books. Gena Showlter is doing a fantastic job with this series so far. I can not wait to read the next book in the series. Ladies I recommend you read this series
