review 1: This book was woeful. I actually had to stop reading it. I often get to this point with Cruise's work, but I usually find if I work through it a little bit longer, it pays off. That didn't happen with this book. Not only did you have to forgive Cruise her shamelessly self involved characters and forced/clumsy plot lines, but the story of this book took place in a complete fantasy land. Of course, there's nothing wrong with this if you can make the world believable in the "universe" you've created, but if there's no natural context for it, then it's just weak story telling, just like Dogs and Goddesses.
review 2: I liked the premise very much. I also liked the characters, and the dogs.I'm not going to do a plot summary, except that an ancient Mesopotamian goddes... mores has been revived- because of misspelling on Google, which i think was a brilliant touch!- and is not exactly up-to-date on current society. She drafts heriditary priestesses, most of whom have other plans.I'm usually not a fan of "chemistry" as a way to determine True Love, but it works well here. The sex scenes are- unusually- very well written and don't go on excessively long, and the couple really seem to relate to each other outside of Passion.Plus- one of Our Heroines is a 40-something woman, and she gets the REALLY hot dude!Ok, the premise is silly, but tha's party what makes it a romp. It is NOT a serious book! but- if you like romance, and weird ancient goddesses, and dogs, and a somewhat twisty plot with supernatural elements- well, it's a hoot. I enjoyed it a lot, and will be re-reading it. less
