Summary:
He was mine to protect. Mine to adore. Mine to lose forever.
Icarus may not have flown particularly close to the sun, but he has fallen…right into the rough hands of Olympus’s own Poseidon. Being held captive by the gentle giant wouldn’t be so bad if Olympus wasn’t on the eve of destruction…or if Poseidon stopped looking at him with those irresistibly stormy eyes.
Poseidon doesn’t have time to babysit his increasingly bratty prisoner, but he has no Olympus is officially at war, and someone has to keep their best bargaining chip out of harm’s way. The thing is, the longer Poseidon is with Icarus, the more he starts to care for his sworn enemy…and the more he realizes that Icarus isn’t the villain he’s been made out to be. There’s a warmth to him, a vulnerability, that Poseidon finds difficult to ignore or deny.
Now with Circe and the Aeaens at the gate and Olympus a hair’s breadth away from falling, Poseidon will have to make a difficult about himself, about his allegiances, and about the man who woke his heart from its long slumber only to threaten to break it for good…
My Thoughts:
So glad we got Icarus and Poseidon’s story. I have been anticipating it! I love their dynamic, and I love the use of k!nk between them. I also really enjoyed reading about how they both deal with and help each other deal with anxiety.
While I think this was a very cute story, I think it fell flat a bit in terms of continuing the plot with Circe and Olympus. It was almost a side story / plot filler while we wait for the next one.
Was hoping for a bit more between them, and also a bit more action overall. They fell for each other super fast and it was almost? Too fast for me, but I know a lot of the couples have been this way as well.
Overall I enjoyed it and cannot wait to continue the series.
