Book Review; Caged in Desire

 


Born among the gods and bound for eternity as a matchmaker to the mortals, my life has been dedicated to pairing hearts and souls. But these powers come at a high cost. By bonding couples together, I’ve been robbed of having that same connection with another.

Valentine’s Day has come around, as it always does, filling people with a deep desire to find true love. And just when I think this will be another successful year, I find myself on the doorstep of a man whose heart and life have been cast in darkness.

Eryx Nightvale isn’t just any man—he’s the god of discord, everything I’m not, and he’s determined to break everything I represent.

Now I’m caged, my heart and body trapped behind bars. Will I be able to charm my captor into opening the lock keeping me prisoner? Or will we both be lost to the shattered remains of our own making?


My Review

Charlee is cupid. She does not mind her job. Yet she meets her match when she meets Eryx. He does not believe in love. What happens when cupid finds herself a prisoner of Eryx.

I know Eryx calling Charlee "Heartspite" was supposed to be mean but the more her called Charlee the nickname, it grew on me and I kind of liked it. Eryx being full on morally gray towards Charlee is hot. 

"Her mouth felt like home"

Eryx may have "corrupted" this cupid but at the same time, Charlee hit her mark and Eryx could not dismiss that he may have fallen for Charlee. This is one steamy, quick read. It is just what cupid ordered this Valentine's Day.
