Eros (Ross) -- the god of love -- is living in Manhattan and
running a match-making service; although, Eros' love life
has not been terribly successful of late, with his wife
Psyche leaving him for a Norse demi-god. Eros works with
Ariadne (Ari) -- the Cretan goddess of the labyrinth and
Britomartis (Britta) -- the Cretan goddess of hunting. Ari &
Britta decide Ross needs to get out and have some fun to get
over being dumped, so they take him out to the local bar
owned by Dionysius -- the god of wine & debauchery.
Annie Landon runs a dog bakery across the street from Made
in Heaven Matchmaking. Annie is cute and curvy with long
brown hair and blue eyes. She meets Ross at Dion's bar and
is hoping for a chance to hook up. Ross decides to try to
match Annie up with a local accountant Harry Mitchell out of
a misguided sense of responsibility that he should be
setting up two mortals together.
What ensues is a cute romantic romp as Ross tries to avoid
and ignore his growing feelings for Annie and push her and
Harry together. Unfortunately, Harry is totally hung up on
Britta and in his eyes; Annie does not measure up to a
goddess. After a few disastrous dates, Ross decides to
bring out the big guns, and uses his Cupid's bow & arrows to
make sure Harry falls in love with Annie.
TALL, DARK, AND DIVINE is a cute, romantic comedy with
plenty of heat and sizzle. Jenna Bennett did a fantastic
job of bringing the Greek gods and goddess to life and
placing them in modern society. I loved how she placed them
in jobs that perfectly fit with their deity descriptions.
This was a fun, quick read that I highly recommend.
Eros, the Greek god of love, swore off the useless emotion
after his ex ran off with some Viking godling. He’s lost all
interest in his matchmaking business, Made in Heaven, until
he spots the sweet baker who works across the street. Before
she stirs his sullen heart, he’ll match her and get back to
his ambrosia-laced wine in no time.
Lonely baker Annie Landon has given up on finding Mr. Right.
What she needs is Mr. Right Here, Right Now, and this
so-called “Greek God” she’s heard is on the rebound sounds
exactly like the perfect kind of distraction. But picking up
the bitter, workaholic is easier said than done…especially
when he seems unreasonably determined to match her with
someone else.
Can a woman looking for love—and the matchmaking god who
wants her to find it with someone else—have a shot at a
happy ending? May the best god—or mortal—win.
