"Funny and hot look at a war between the Gods"

In IMMORTALLY EMBRACED the old and new Gods declared war on
each other and the fate of the earth as humans know it is
held in the balance, depending on which side wins. Humans
with special talents have been conscripted to serve in the
army on each side.
Dr. Petra Robichaud is an army surgeon for a M*A*S*H unit
in Limbo, who was 'recruited' for her exceptional skills as
a doctor. She's lost a lot during this war, but continues
to do what she can to ease the suffering of mortal and
immortal alike.
A truce has been called and for a while Petra and the
others in the unit are taking care of the mundane and not
so mundane. On her part it's not going as well as she had
hoped because her boyfriend breaks up with her without an
explanation and the oracles have laid out a new prophecy
that seems to deal with her. "The peacekeeper will find
love" ... that part sounds really good but unfortunately it
doesn't end there "a hideous new weapon is born." ... really
not good.
IMMORTALLY EMBRACED is a wickedly funny yet dark paranormal
that hits on the grave sense of wartime and adds the right
touch of sexual heat. I knew this book was going to be good
when a centuries old goddess is afraid to tell her parents
she's pregnant and we were introduced to Petra's werewolf
roommate who collects Star Trek memorabilia. The setting
and atmosphere brings back a lot of the feel of the M*A*S*H
TV series with the seriousness of war, but with the
craziness that roommates can get into to break up that
gravity. Add to that the mythological characters, and
paranormal beings with quirky senses of humor and you have
a book that you cannot put down. I can't wait for the next
in the series by author Angie Fox.
SUMMARY
Bestselling author Angie Fox combines magic, medicine,
and modern romance in a dazzling series about one dedicated
doctor who keeps legends alive… IN THE BATTLE
OF THE SEXES… Even during a truce, Dr. Petra
Robichaud has her hands full as the M*A*S*H surgeon to an
army of warring gods—especially when Medusa herself turns up
pregnant. Petra has no idea what to expect when a gorgon’s
expecting, but she won’t let it turn her to stone. As the
healer-hero of an ancient prophesy, it’s Petra’s job to keep
the peace. But as the lover to a warrior demi-god, she knows
how impossible some jobs can be… IT’S EVERY GOD FOR
HIMSELF. Commander Galen is sexy, strong, and
sworn to lead his team to hell and back. But when he
announces to Petra that he can no longer risk her life for
his love, the doctor is on her own…Until a mysterious new
entity—in the form of a hot-blooded male—enters the picture.
Can he be trusted? Can he be resisted? Meanwhile, an oracle
delivers another prophesy that places Petra back on the
frontlines with the man she may be bound to for eternity—in
love, or in war…
