Zeus,
king of the gods, isn’t given towards showing favoritism, even towards his own
children. Consequently, when three of the Muses, his daughters, fail their
hundred-year performance review, he gives them one chance to make up for their
failures.
For Chloe, the Muse of Happiness, the task is this: spend a year on earth
making mortals happy. If she succeeds, she will be richly rewarded with an
immortal life of unending luxury. If she fails, she’ll be banished to spend
life as a mortal on earth, with the accompanying brief life span and human
travails. There is a catch, however – she can dally with mortal men all she
wishes, but falling in love with one is strictly forbidden.
Not a problem as far as Chloe is concerned. That is, until she meets the
handsome Dr. Matthew Castleberry…
I am
just going to give it to you straight – although the plot of
One Night With a Goddess
sounded interesting enough, this is not the kind of book I usually buy. Why did
I read it? Well, it was offered for review, and since it sounded
fairly enjoyable, I requested it.
Boy, did I ever underestimate Judi McCoy! This is the first time I have read
this author’s work, and it will not be my last. Not only was
One Night With a Goddess
thoroughly enjoyable, but I found myself captivated by both the plot and the
characters! McCoy weaves a wonderful little contemporary romance with just a
touch of myth and magic in the mix. Truly, I didn’t put this book down until I
finished reading it.
Despite the fact that Chloe is a mythological goddess, her character was as
tangible as her human hero, Matthew. And despite her position as the Muse of
Happiness, it soon becomes apparent that she has never really experienced true
happiness for herself – until she met the handsome doctor. It is her love for
him that teaches her there are many more important things than luxury and power.
Judi McCoy has written books that connect to
One Night With a Goddess, and I don’t mind telling you
they have made their way to my wishlist! If you are looking for a light-hearted
romance with a great mix of humor and love, then this is the book for you!
