Goddess in the Middle - Stephanie Julian
*4.5 stars*

Review to come, but I was thoroughly entertained by this story. This is one of those erotic stories that make me proud to read the genre. The writing and the story were so good even without the erotic elements. That was just icing on the cake. :)

A review for The Romance Reviews.

GODDESS IN THE MIDDLE, the latest in the Forgotten Goddess series, is paranormal romance at its best! With a fascinating story, a pair of sexy heroes, and a heroine that I could relate to, I'm left trying to figure out why in the heck I'm just now getting started with this series.

Amity is the Goddess of Health although these days she's using what little power she has left to help heal humans in a local hospital, but little does she know that someone is out to drain the rest of her powers away.

Rom and Remy are werewolf cousins who have been hunting for the demon who killed their family for years. That demon happens to be after Amity, so they set their sights on her to protect her. When they meet, the attraction between Amity and the two men is immediate and they end up in bed together.

Sleeping with Rom and Remy give Amity more power than she ever imagined, but there are forces working that could destroy the trio just as they begin to discover how right they are together.

I loved this story. The roots of it are in mythology and I have always found that fascinating. The world building surrounding that mythology seemed so real that I was instantly transported there. I was so drawn in I was loath to leave.

The characters though are what made this book for me. I absolutely adored Rom and Remy. Their personalities were so different but they completely complemented each other and their combined attributes made them such a perfect fit for Amity. Amity herself was a hoot. I loved her snark, but she also had such an amazing amount of compassion that you couldn't help but love her.

GODDESS IN THE MIDDLE is the third book in the Forgotten Goddess series, and it could be read as a stand alone. I haven't read the other books in the series yet, and I didn't feel lost. However, I enjoyed this story so much, I will definitely be reading the other books in the series. I love when the erotic books I prefer to read are just so good that I would read it whether it had the smoking hot sex I love or not. GODDESS IN THE MIDDLE is the perfect example of this.

This is my first book by Stephanie Julian, but I must say that it will not be my last. She's a fantastic storyteller, and GODDESS IN THE MIDDLE kept me entertained from beginning to end!
