Tall, Dark, and Divine


I give Jenna Bennett’s Tall, Dark, and Divine 4 stars! I have never been much for books involving mythology, however, I adored the Greek Gods of this tale. Eros, the Greek God of Love, is the ultimate hunky matchmaker who failed in finding his true love, until now. Annie, the owner of a dog bakery on the same block as Eros’ business, is your average, sweet, compassionate, hard-working woman who is looking for love, but really just wants someone to give her (and her well deserving body) some hot attention for one night. Crossing paths in Dion’s bar, Annie seeks the company with Eros while he pushes her toward a mortal, just like herself; Eros is not about to get himself mixed up with another mortal again. All good intentions, all disastrous results!
I found myself on the rollercoaster ride of Annie and Eros’ relationship as well as the mood swings of Harry (the said mortal), and the tension among the other Gods who become main players in the love triangle.
Jenna Bennett’s writing is also marvelous! Giving the characters personalities in which you could find yourself relating to (mortal or immortal), a real-world setting, and fast paced love that draws you in right from the get go.
