Touch ( selfish Myths book 1)

Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments

A mortal outcast, a mythical goddess, and a forbidden desire that defies the laws of magic.

They say I'm a celestial bad girl. But they're wrong--I'm far worse.

My name is Love. I spend my immortal years hunting within a frosted forest, matching human hearts with each mischievous strike of my arrow.

But in all my centuries, I've never known desire--until now.

He's a mortal. And the longer I'm with him, the more I crave his touch.

Yet binding myself to this human is forbidden. Without a doubt, it's fatal.

When I discover that he possesses abilities beyond his knowledge--a force strong enough to eradicate my kind--I have to make a choice.

One, destroy him before he destroys my race.

Or two, contain his magic by sealing his heart with someone else's.

This was a strange read but strange in a good way I think. It was a sweet story of love finding love for herself. I loved the interaction with the other emotional gods they certainly all have a story. I just can’t put my finger on what was so odd about the book I’m certainly interested in reading more by this author. For now this would be 3 stars for me.

I found myself quickly interested in the story of Sam and Lilly. The older woman, who gives so much of herself to everyone else and finally decides to do something for herself. The slightly younger man, a professor, who usually tries to avoid all of the women in his classes. It's a forbidden romance, that is just so right.

I was frustrated when the story would shift from their lives to these other characters that I couldn't figure out why I was reading about them. Then when the two stories merged everything got so much more intense and I couldn't stop until I finished.

Wonderful read.
