The Heart of War
Of War series #1
by
Lisa Beth Darling
Inside
the Heart of every Warrior breathes the Soul of a Hero--even within The
Heart of War. Meet Ares God of War, the greatest Warrior the world has
ever known. He's moody, grumpy, dominant, ravenously sexual, and above
all, built like a Greek God. Suspected of killing his Daughter in-Law,
Psyche, and long in exile from Olympus, the solitude of Ares' island is
interrupted when Magdalena MacLeod a brash and sometimes manipulative
Fey washes up on Ares' island after believing she's been shipwrecked.
It's not mere fate that has brought the unlikely couple together yet it
may be what tears them apart. Branded with a golden chastity belt
bearing the mark of Cernunnos, Celtic God of the Forest and Death, Alena
has been on the run from her husband the Great Horned God for 200
years. When the Olympians discover her presence on Ares' island, they
send Apollo to the island while Ares is away with orders to bring her to
Olympus. Diplomatically winding her way out of immediately going to
Olympus, when Ares returns and with nowhere to turn, Alena strikes a
bargain with the God of War--her virginity for his protection. Ares sees
a sweeter deal; her in his bed and himself back in his rightful place
on Olympus even if it means turning Alena over to Zeus. After Alena
proves herself to Ares in battle and his bed, the God of War must choose
between his Divinely Dysfunctional Family, his pride, and Alena. Get
lost in this sweeping dark saga battling Ancient Gods while falling in
love with Ares God of War and Alena MacLeod. Ares and Alena share a
love that will rock the world from the heights of Olympus to the Celtic
moors, but will it be enough? Will love triumph, or will revenge and
rage win the battle for the Heart of War?
This
was an amazing book concerning the Greek Gods of Olympus and the Celtic
Gods. I totally loved the story of Ares and his family. Amazing
author made me feel like I was back in time with the Gods. There was so
much detail in the story as well as the characters. It had all the
elements to keep me turning pages to see what was going to happen next.
This is the first book I've read by this author & I hope to read
more.
I rate this book 4 1/2 stars
