Eros

Contemporary Mythos, Book 4

By: Carly Spade

Narrated by: Stella Bloom, Thomas Locklear

Elani Stewart hasn't believed in "true love" or fairy tale endings since her parents' divorce.

It's one of the reasons she developed her dating service "E-romantic", a scientific algorithm-based process that matches one person to their most compatible partners.

When clients start dropping like flies, claiming that a bartender at The Arrow led them to the "love of their lives", she decides to take matters into her own hands or risk being clientless.

Little does she know she's up against the god of love and passion himself. If she can open herself to the possibilities and listen to destiny's call, she may learn to trust in love again and "soar" to new heights.

Creating a New Clan

This review is in two parts as I read the book first:

I don't know where to start. I guess with the simplest of declarations. I REALLY liked this. I love the skepticism, the banter, and the experiences that Elani and Eric / Eros share. The myths of Greek lore mixed with the here and now and the commingling of traditions from the Scottish culture were absolutely lovely and fun. Especially when a Greek God flies you to a deserted castle to have his wicked, supremely steamy way with you. Where can I sign up for THAT? 😘💙🔥

I do prefer to listen to this type of book but the reading experience was still worth it. Along those lines, I've been enjoying this series out of order and I think it's fine. There are small references to the prior books but, unless you know, you aren't likely to think much of it.

Oh, and that age gap? He's a god who's been around for hundreds, thousands of years. She's a mere mortal. 💋


UPDATED 3/2022:
OK. So, given the choice between read or listen, you ABSOLUTELY NEED to listen to this book. Hearing the banter and the accents is just *muah*. 🥰

Stella Bloom and Thomas Locklear bring this story to life and it was an absolute pleasure to listen to. I've enjoyed Thomas before but this was my first time listening to Stella. More of Thomas would've been preferred. I look forward to hearing both again.

Story: 4.5 stars
Narration: 4 stars

Good Read

This was a wonderful adventure. I enjoyed the storyline. Elani is a enjoyable character and her adventure was exciting and fun. The narration was good.

Loved it

It got a bit sappy at times but nothing like I was expecting. I was dreading this one and had put off reading it because I thought the sweet sappiness would choke me. I was wrong! I really loved this one but poor Chelsea! Her sister and her best friend become goddesses and she gets left behind, how heartbreaking is that?

Another fun story in this contemporary mythos seri

Another fun story in this contemporary mythos series. I been wanting to find out more about Eros/Eric since he first started appearing. This story is full of laughter as "Eric" and Elani banter on their way to discovering their fates lie in one another. It may have not been a straight path, but the two finally get the HEA they deserve with some surprises and twists along the way. I also enjoedy the cameos from other gods and goddesses we've met along the way, and I am looking forward to the future books. Stella Bloom's terrific narration brought the story to life from the pages,and in the effort of full disclosure and honesty...I will admit I didn't care for Thomas Locklear's female voices...but he was only narrating a chapter so do not let that deter you from enjoying this story.

Heart’s unbound!

Elani a e-matchmaker programmer who does not believe in love and determined to save her business comforts Eric/Eros the bartender/love god and enters into a bet to use her love algorithm on herself. She meets a couple of duds and a potential mister right while secretly pinning for Eric. When Elani is stood up, Eric swoops in and saves the day. This is a classic true love story where soulmates find themselves and each other as they overcome personal heartaches. This book pulls you in. You’ll laugh, you’ll sigh you’ll root for Eros and Elani and you’ll fan yourself after that kiss! Carly did it again!
