Chloe Degodessa is a muse and the daughter of Zeus. Chloe
and her two muse sisters have angered their father and he's
sent them away from Mount Olympus on a mission to Earth.
Apparently, Chloe and her sisters have not been living up
to their father's expectations for a few centuries and he's
given them each one final task -- to do something that nobly
inspires mankind.
If they fulfill their mission, the sisters can return to
Mount Olympus and live in splendor for eternity. If they do
not, they'll remain on Earth and die as mere mortals. Zeus
hands down one additional instruction: The muses are not to
fall in love with any mortals while carrying out their
jobs.
Chloe lands at historic Castleberry Hall in Chicago. She
befriends the owner, 83-year-old Belle, and secures a job
planning weddings and special events at the property. She
works alongside Clark Parrott, owner and chef of Queer Food
for the Straight Dude, as he prepares delectable food for
all the events.
Since Clark is not going to complicate Zeus' final
instruction about Chloe falling in love, the plot needs a
hunky, straight man: enter Matt Castleberry, Belle's
grandson. Matt is a surgeon and has just returned from a
two-year mission to Africa. While Chloe and Matt are
instantly suspicious of each other, he seems mesmerized by
her ample curves. This sets the stage for all sorts of
hormone-driven drama befitting a demigoddess and a
potential mortal love interest.
ONE NIGHT WITH A GODDESS is a campy, fun little read. It's
as breezy as the winds on Mount Olympus. As the Muse of
Happiness, Chloe made this reader happy. It's a light-
hearted, quick read for those seeking a reprieve from
the "real" world.
I admit life's been very sweet on Mount Olympus these past
few centuries . . . until now. Zeus is convinced that I'm
not doing enough as the Muse of Happiness, and I have to
prove myself by spending a year among mortals. Now I'm
working as a wedding planner. In Chicago.
Helping these lovebirds find happily-ever-after is one
thing, but putting up with Matthew Castleberry is another
story. The sexy doctor thinks I'm out to fleece his
grandmother, my boss, and he's made it very clear he
intends to keep an eye on me. His gaze may be more heated
than wary, with promises of sensual delights . . . so
perhaps I'll give him one unforgettable night with a
goddess. But what if one night isn't enough for either of
us? If I fall in love, I might never get back home to Mount
Olympus!
