Summary: A sparkling romance -- Highly recommended
Review: Zeus and his band of followers have been banished to Earth in punishment from the Titanic Oracle, the ruling council of their world. Ancient Earth seemed a paradise until man stopped worshiping them and technology usurped magic. Now Hera is a cosmetics queen named Harriet Peacock and Zeus is a successful businessman called Zeke Jupiter. As they attempt to atone for past misdeeds by uniting their descendants with a true love, they hope to break the unexpected legacy that damaged their family lines.

FBI Special Agent Armond Marceaux descends from Ares, the god of justice. Truly The Warrior, Armond dedicates his life to law enforcement. But now he suffers from amnesia as the result of being drugged following his capture by a rogue FBI agent. He has only instinct to guide him back to his secluded cabin in Louisiana, where he finds the beautiful Callie looking for him.

Callie Gabriel descends from Callisto, the only goddess to suffer permanent harm from Hera's jealousy. Callie inadvertently fills in many pieces to Armond's missing memory. She also announces that she is pregnant. But Gabriel women do not marry and they raise their children alone -- a legacy she's determined to follow. Armond quickly realizes that Callie's presence is a trigger for lost memories, and accompanies her back to New Orleans, hoping he can learn more.

Zeus and Hera are outraged to learn the wrong son of Olympus has designs on Callie. But a bet with Dion Backus, or Dionysus the god of wine, quickly leads to their support of this unlikely couple. As the gods' machinations lead to quirky twists, Callie and Armond flee danger and seek answers together. Perhaps this isn't such an impossible love match after all.

Author Kathleen Nance's second "Sons of Olympus" tale provides delightful, light hearted entertainment. With tantalizing plot twists and impossible interference, the path to love is a heck of a lot of fun! The fresh premise, fiercely independent and strong willed characters, and complexity of plot result in a sparkling romance. Highly recommended.
