Blurb:
Phthonos, god of
envy and jealousy, has been given a second chance at life and love in the
mortal realm. He is desperate to make up for the mistakes of his past. But is
Thon more demon than god? And if the demon Envy wins out, how will this lonely
god ever find room in his heart for love?
Olivia is an
ordinary woman living an ordered life, but at thirty-two true romance appears
to have eluded her. Everywhere she looks people are in relationships or falling
in love, but her career and her charity work are enough to keep the demon of
envy at bay.
Until the moment he
turns up on her doorstep with a demand that rips her life and her heart wide
open and leaves her at risk of eternal torment.
DEMON
OF ENVY is the fifth erotic romance novella in the GODS OF LOVE series, but
each story is designed as a stand-alone with the Greek gods of desire as a
common theme. The series can be read in any order.
Kay's Review
Oh my god of of envy! Phthonos, you may not be a sex god like your brothers but you're a sexy god. The panic attack Liv had when she saw how well-hung you are made me break out in delicious goose bumps.
Wow. I love this delightfully sexy, amazingly beautiful book. This author has a wonderful way of digging into human emotional states and revealing our inner turmoil and darkness in a way that is liberating.
I love this story because both characters Liv and Thon have been through so much trauma--"to hell and back" as Liv would say--and it was so obvious they needed each other for them to heal and have a great future.
There are scenes that made me laugh out loud and scenes that brought tears to me eyes and yet other scenes that made me tingle all over with warmth.
This has got to be my favourite of the God's of Love series. As soon as I got this book, I suspended everything else just to read it. Jennifer Lynne has outdone herself. Love, love, love it.
She dropped to her knees and took him deep
into her mouth and throat. Velvety smooth skin, ridged with veins. Hot. Hard.
The very essence of everything male. She sucked him in, working back and forth,
stealing the sticky fluid from the tip of his cock with her greedy tongue. The
taste was divine, like…like… There was nothing
to which she could compare. It was the headiest aphrodisiac she'd ever placed
in her mouth.
"Like the nectar of the gods, Liv? It
is exactly that." Thon's voice was hoarse above her, and she smiled around
his organ and let her lips, tongue, and teeth continue to explore. "By
Zeus, that feels good."
Fingers tangled in her hair, encouraging
the sliding movement up and down his cock. She cupped his balls with one hand,
squeezing lightly, and with the other slipped her fingers behind them to press
into the springy flesh between his testicles and anus. She'd read on the
internet that men liked such a move. A sharp hiss sounded above her head and he
jerked in her mouth, then sudden pain assailed her shoulders and a greenish grey
mist surrounded them. What the…
She lifted her head and let him slide out
of her with a moist sucking noise. She knelt there, inhaling his musky scent
and panting, blinking to try and clear her vision. Why was it suddenly so
shadowy?
He was bent forward a little over her,
fingers clutching so tight around her upper arms and shoulders it felt like
claws digging in to her shoulder blades. So that was the cause of the pain. A
wave of lust swept through her at the sting and a yelp filled her throat, but
she refused to let it escape. No. Don't
let him see it.
Pleasure and pain. The double-edged sword
that was her deepest secret and one she had only revealed once before in her
life. To disastrous effect.
But it was too late. He knew. "Oh, my
God, Thon." The words burst out of her when he squeezed again and a
betraying gush of vaginal moisture coated the top of her thighs.
"You like that?"
She whimpered and closed her eyes, but
snapped them open when he slid his hands under her elbows and lifted her
seemingly without effort to her feet.
"Liv? You like a bit of…pain?"
She spoke through clenched teeth. "I
don't want to."
"But you do."
