Confuzzled Books

If you are wondering what kinds of books I review and events I host, this little section is the place to look. Books I love to read: Children's, Young Adult, Paranormal and Fantasy books. Books I like to read: General Fiction, Romances, Religious Fiction, Mysteries and Biographies. So those are the genres of books I will generally review. If you send me a book outside of those areas, I'll consider it, but it may not fit my tastes. Reviews will take about 2 months to post; I try to post them around the time the book is released. On giveaways: Sending me a signed book to give away on the site is a great way to get your book noticed. I do a "mystery book" giveaway about every 2 weeks, where I read the book and twitter about it without revealing its title, then reveal what I've been reading and give it away. The whole event takes a couple weeks, and I feature the giveaway book on my blog for most of that time.

A Touch of Greek (Out of Olympus, #1)

A Touch of Greek  - Tina Folsom

The God Triton, son of Poseidon, gets punished by Zeus for banging anything that moves and always getting in trouble for it. Zeus sends him to Earth to find someone who loves him for him and he has to love them back. It seems like the first five minutes he stops in a bar and finds Sophie. A little too lucky I say. He lusts after her but she sees through his womanizing ways. Triton tries to find a way to get her to love him. As he waits for the right moment Sophie falls down a flight of stairs. With major injuries including temporary blindness she needs to find help. That is where Triton moves himself into her life.

I don’t normally read romances and I picked this one to read because of the Greek mythology. I was a little shocked at first because the mature sexual content but after I kept reading and followed the story it was still shocking and sexy, but it had some holes in the story. One hole is Sophie’s friend has to go on a business trip and can’t help he hurt best friend. Then Sophie’s friend never calls, never comes back into the story.

I know most of this sounds predictable and a little cheesy but I got into it. The book ‘s story of their attraction to one another is magical, sexual and with a little cheese. This not a book for teens. This is a 18+ romance/fantasy book. This is also the first in a series and I think I would enjoy the series so I may continue.
