 Persephone has been betrothed to the horrible Zeus by her mother. Everyone knows that Zeus has killed all his previous Hera's and Persephone does not want to marry him. On the day it is announced Persephone flees to the only place she may be safe, across the River Styxx.

Hades is believed to be deceased, but to Persephone's shock he is there to greet her on the other side of the bridge. Hades and Persephone reach an agreement. They will make it clear to the public they are an item and make as big of a fool as possible of Zeus.

When Hades and Persephone have their first orgy the people are enamored. They can't get enough of the new couple and Zeus wants back what belongs to him.

The book was a fun read. The scenes were interesting. There was a little too much bedroom time and not enough getting to know each other and overcome their issues.

this book/author was recommended to me by a B&N worker! and it’s the best recommendation i’ve received in a while, i really enjoyed reading this book & i hope others enjoy it as well. although it might not exceed the hype some may have started reading it for, it met my expectations & exceeded them by the end of the book.

Exactly what I was looking for in a romance book. I didn’t think I wanted something about the Greek gods but here we are. I loved it.

Just another Persephone/Hades retelling and it was okay. The plot was meh and very predictable, but HOT DAMN the smut was excellent. 
I'm not usually a fan of instant love/lust but for some reason it really worked here (for me at least). It's definitely not going to be for everybody but I found it refreshing to read something I didn't have to take seriously! The amount of consent not only in smut scenes but in the characters every day lives was so great to see.
