The trigger warnings for sexual violence against women and children, and incest, are the standard fare for books of the genre. Darling isn’t writing to please everyone, just genre lovers who will find this story ticks all the boxes.
BTS Emag 5 Stars–“Ares, the God of War, captures the imagination as a complex and charismatic protagonist. Darling masterfully blends his Greek God of War traits–strong, dominant, violent, and moody–with an incredibly sexy and passionate lover. In the end, she creates a hero to die for. The author provides the perfect complement to Ares with the strong-willed and compassionate Alena. Their chemistry is explosive, dramatic, and passionate. This couple will haunt you long after you have finished reading their tale.” Lori Z., Reviewer
