| Tempted Posted: This series is about the seven guardians. They are the descendants of the original seven Argonauts who journeyed with Jason to find the golden fleece. The Argonauts were favored by the Greek Gods and granted a home called Argolea. They protect their kingdom and the world of the humans from daimons, who are lead by Atalanta. She was an Argonaut not favored by the Gods (because she was female) so she made a deal with Hades for immortality.
The series involves the Argonauts (the Eternal Guardians), the Argoleans, the misos (who are mix of half argolean/half human), humans and the daimons, and don't forget those rascally Greek Gods who are always causing trouble.
Demetrius is a Guardian with one hell of an attitude problem; he is descended from Jason; he protects the humans and the people of Argolea; and he knows two things for sure: 1 Princess Isadora of the Argoleans is his one sole mate; and (2) he is hiding a very deep, very dark secret. Why be nice to his fellow Guardians? If they knew his secret, they'd turn on him. What about Isadora? There was no way he can get close to Isadora, no matter how much he wants to. If she knew him...knew about him... He spends two hundred years intimidating her, being mean to her, keeping her afraid of him. If she hates him, he can protect her, but not be tempted by her. Then Isadora is kidnapped, and after rescuing her, Demetrius is trapped with her and danger is all around them. He needs to keep her safe and close. Now he needs to fight the dangers outside, and the temptation inside himself.
A few months ago I read an interview with Elisabeth Naughton where she was talking about her upcoming book Tempted and about it's main character Demetrius. If you read the first two books of this series, there's no other way to say it, Demetrius is a JERK! He's pushy, condescending, and outright nasty to everyone. Right then I decided I needed to read this book and this series, because I wanted to know, "How are you going to make me like this guy?" Well, I'll tell you, after reading this book, Demetrius is now my top favorite hero of all time!! He does all the wrong things for all the right reasons.
Definitely put this on your must read list!
Rating: 5 stars + 1 big kiss for my hero, Demetrius |
