review 1: One of the things that I like best about my kindle is that I CAN'T flip the book to re-read the synopsis when I am reading a book. I find myself pleasantly surprised, more often than not, as I'm reading by how much I am enjoying the book. My kindle is also breaking me from my cover habit. I DO judge books by their covers: the covers are what draws me in to pick it up and flip it over and read the blurb. This cover did exactly the same thing. *Fans face* Mmmm paranormal romance, hot body, why is his hand smoking?! This was an unexpected delicious read from Entangled Publishing, one of my favorite publishers in their many hats (Covet, Bliss, Teen, Indulgence, Edge, etc). Unexpected because I wasn't expecting the offer to read it!Now, I have not read book 1 in the Goddesses R... moreising series, but luckily I did not have to. The history of Sam (and Quinn and Nick) are nicely summarized for you in the course of the story. I liked Riley; she's feisty and strong enough to look for help when she needs it. The attraction between her and Sam is subtle, but intense at the same time. The plot moved steadily forward and the ending leaves you wanting more. This is not a cliffhanger ending, but the main plot threads are ready to be continued! I did want to know more of the history of the goddesses so I will be picking up book one. There is some explanation, but not full enough in this book to satisfy me! I'm insatiable, what can I say? I found the powers to be interesting and look forward to Riley discovering more of her powers now that the immediate threat is at an end and she can test with someone like Quinn. At least...I hope that is what lies in store further in the series; Riley & Sam making an appearance like Nick & Quinn in this one! A thoroughly enjoyable quick-read paranormal romance. review 2: It is the first book that I read about goddesses.I dint`t read the first book on the series.To bad I know but this book I receive for review.I dint`t know nothing about it.I just read it like that.And I loved it.The story continues with Sam (I read that in first book it is about Quinn) who owns a bar.One night,a women,Riley comes because she needs help.Her parents died and she just find out that she is a goddesses.She dint`t know just until she reached the age of 21.She traveled to find Sam,who was a protector on Society of goddesses.But some people follow her.She dint`t know why or for what.Sam help her do get rid of them and promised to the her to the Society.When she gets there she find the truth way here parents hate the Society.And she finds out how is following her.It seams that the bad enemy on the first book it is back and thirsty for revenge.But that’s not all. Despite what is happening Riley and Sam fall in love.What I know it is that Sam was in love with Quinn in the first book and she chose Nick over him.I`m so glad that Sam falls in love for Riley.The chemistry between them it`s so strong.I love this book.I love it because it`s diffent.She has love,action,humor.It is the perfect book. I recommend it to anyone even if you did not read the first volume.:) less
