Apollo is Mine by Mila Young

5.0

Imagine being given the gift of some of the abilities of the gods - strength, speed, endurance, and three additional lives. All with a purpose to defend and protect the humans on Earth. That is the case with Elyse. Her family line, the Lowes, has been given this gift, but it is a gift that comes with a heavy price. With each generation fewer and fewer fight the good fight to protect humanity. So many have died and now Elyse is the last who still fights the mythical monsters that come and run amuck. Something big is coming though and Elyse is the one who stands in the way. She must win or the world will suffer behind her loss. But is she strong enough? Two gods showing up only go to complicate things in her life as she feels an intense attraction to them and resisting? Well, that's not exactly in the cards. Elyse is in for the fight of her life, but things will be far from boring! In fact, things will get downright steamy and complicated!
Apollo is Mine by Mila Young is the first book in her Harem of the Gods series. When you start reading this book clear your schedule because you won't want to put it down and you'll have devoured it before you know it. Elyse is an engaging character from the beginning. She's training hard to become faster, stronger and fiercer so that she can stand up to anything that comes at her. Heracles is the ones training her and I like that he is so focused on helping her get stronger. He knows what is at risk for her and that she must be ready for when it comes. I like the dynamics between the two characters. The author has basically set strict boundaries between them and there is no hint of romance or attraction. Part of me wants to pout at this but, I get it and it works. Haha! I love how sparks fly between Elyse and the other characters though! It's intense and I love it! Death aka X is intense! I get the shivers when he shows up because you just KNOW that something bad is about to happen. This book is intense and I love it!
There honestly isn't much that I don't like about this book. My only tiny issue is...when Elyse starts calling...these interactions with the men..." relationships." They're not. The only thing that has transpired is sex...so for me...I can't honestly call that a relationship. But that's me! Otherwise, I could not get enough of this book.
I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. This book is fast-paced, exciting, STEAMY, hard to put down and just downright awesome! I am beyond excited for the next book in this series. If you are a fan of this author...grab this book. If you like steamy reverse harem novels...grab this book. If you like mythology...grab this book. Just basically...grab this book. You won't be disappointed. LOL
