Author:  Staci Hart
Publish Date:  7/30/2013
Published By:  Promise Socks Publishing
Genre:  18+ Contemporary Romance, Paranormal Romance

Book Synopsis:

It’s Round Two of high stakes Love Connection on Olympus, and this time, everything has changed. For Aphrodite, at least.

Ares is on deck, and Aphrodite is nervous. As much as she loves to hook up with him, she doesn’t trust him as far as she could throw him, which isn’t very far. He’s a big dude. They haven’t been together in a very long time, but she can’t resist him. She never could. Even when every part of her screamed that he was a liar.

He has a plan to keep Aphrodite, for good this time. He wants to win the game, but he’ll hold back to get what he wants. He’s sitting on a chance that he’s been waiting thousands of years for, and he’ll do what he has to do to convince her to stay forever.

The only thing that could stop him is the secret that he’s been keeping from her for eons. If she finds out, it will destroy everything.

Aphrodite is getting crap for her choice in player, because from the outside, it looks like a match that would never work.

Kat and Dillon have been through a lot, and everything has been to protect their younger siblings. They sacrificed everything to make sure their brother and sister would be safe. The players are tough and loyal.

Fierce and determined. But they become each other’s weakness, even though they fight it, and even though it means danger for Kat and her sister.

If Aphrodite can get the players over their egos long enough to see that they’re meant for each other, this competition will be a piece of cake. One that she’ll eat a la mode, right in front of Ares, if she beats him.

Review:





First off, if you haven't read Deer In The Headlights, read that first.

Now, Snake In The Grass definitely has a new theme. The God's have chosen their new players and of course Ares couldn't help but choose someone that he believes would be hard to love, well in other words fucked up. Luckily that doesn't stop Aphrodite from choosing someone equally screwed up. Besides what is better than two people with screwed up past?

Back with the gods, Aphrodite has her own issues in the love department. Yea she is married, but that means nothing for gods, they live to long. Besides, she is only married because she was forced to. On the other hand, she has never had an easy time when it comes to staying out of Ares bed. It will be even harder now that Adonis won't talk to her. Can she really resist her pull to Ares?

"Perry squealed with her hands up. "I'm just saying. You're married, and you have to lovers. You'd be a pariah on Earth."

I absolutely loved, Deer In The Headlights and now Snake In The Grass pulled me in just as quick. For the most part, it is very well written, however, it can still be confusing when it comes to switching between focus on the characters. It tends to jump from character to character without any real way of setting it apart. It is written in third person, which does help you figure out which character is the main focus. Let me say though, this doesn't take away from an amazing book.

4.5 stars from Alyssa

Author Bio:


Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life — a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can’t forget that. She’s also been a mom; she has three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She’s been a wife; even though she’s certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She’s also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she’s been drinking whiskey. Her favorite word starts with f, ends with k, and there a uc in there.
From roots in Houston, to a seven year stint in Southern California, Staci and her family ended up settling somewhere in between and equally north, in Denver. They are new enough that snow is still magical. When she’s not writing, she’s sleeping, cleaning, or designing graphics. But let’s be honest, she’s mostly writing.

Book 1




Deer in Headlights (Good Gods #1)
Author: Staci Hart
Release Date: 2/13/2013
Genre: Contemporary Romance / Paranormal romance

Book Synopsis:

DIH is a light, fun read that will keep you laughing, tug at your heartstrings, and maybe make you change your panties. It’s steamy and sweary, a lighthearted romance with a Greek mythology twist.
What do the Greek gods do when they’re bored? Because they’re always bored, so humans are the perfect players in their games.
Aphrodite owns love; she hasn’t lost a competition on her turf in over three millennia. Apollo is on a mission to win. He’s counting on it to finally get the one woman he’s never been able to have. The two gods will choose their human players, and if Aphrodite can’t get them together before the clock runs out, Apollo will get his way. And Aphrodite couldn’t have that.
Lex and Dean are perfect for each other, they just don’t know it yet. Dean is a perpetual bachelor, and a brooding, beautiful rock star. Lex is always with a man, but she’ll never fully give herself up. Aphrodite has her work cut out for her, but if she can’t make it work, no one can.
The gods have their own drama. Apollo killed Aprhodite’s mortal love – they’ve got beef that’s been dragging on for thousands of years. Ares, the douchebag, is forever trying to pick a fight, and trying to get Aphrodite into bed. And Persephone, Aphrodite’s best friend, is the one person who Aphrodite shares everything with.
Follow the gods as they fight, laugh, cry, lose love, gain power, and make a mess with humans.
