DAMON – For twenty-five years he’s served as a slave. With no memory of his past, he has no way of knowing if this is his ultimate fate, but he senses there has to be more to life. Damon’s hope for more comes in the form of the Sirens’ newest recruit. Elysia is unlike any trainee he’s ever met. Not only can she remember where she came from, but she has an instant connection to Damon, one he’s … one he’s never felt and doesn’t understand. Soon Damon is willing to do anything to have Elysia. Even risk the wrath of his captors so he can keep her for himself.
But Damon’s past isn’t a mystery to everyone. Evil forces are at work beneath the surface, and before long, Damon realizes that the connection he shares with Elysia isn’t a random coincidence. His fate—and the darkness it brings—was cemented long ago. And when it is finally revealed, no one will be safe.
AWAKENED can be read as a stand-alone book.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Two lonely souls find each other under unusual circumstances. Is it their choice to fall in love with each other or is it the Fates manipulating the strings of life?
Elysia is not your typical princess. She’s obstinate, feisty, and opinionated. When Zeus’ private army of Sirens kidnaps Elysia for Siren training, a prearranged marriage with a weak Council member becomes the least of her concerns as survival becomes priority number one.
Damon is a pleasure slave in Aphrodite’s court but moves like a warrior. He discovers a protective instinct with Elysia he doesn’t quite understand but instinctively knows she is important to him.
Elysia and Damon’s story was an enchanting read. At its core the book is a genuinely sweet yet steamy romance and chemistry between these two was singe-worthy! The bigger picture shows us Zeus is still egotistical and power hungry and the Argonauts are determined to prevent Zeus from starting a catastrophic war.
An enjoyable series that takes place across different mythological realms, Naughton’s Eternal Guardians series gives a refreshing and fun take on Greek mythology.

Damon had always been a staple in Aprodite’s bed. He gave her pleasure like he did to the sirens and the ladies she brought on the table. He had a taste of a lot of women, for as long as he remembered. So when he was asked to get involved in the new siren’s recruitment/training, he wasn’t that thrilled at all.
Elysia was soon to be crowned Queen of Argolea and she overheard that her parents planned to bind her to someone she didn’t love. She escaped to find freedom, but her journey was cut short when Zeus’ Sirens captured her and thrown her at Olympus to become a new recruit.
Training to become a Siren usually took seven years, and their memories were completely wiped out. But for some odd reason, Elysia’s memories came back to her and in the long run, she had managed to shorten her stay in Olympus. Could this be Divine Intervention? Or a sinister plot masterminded by Zeus?
This is an ongoing series about the Eternal Guardians of Argolea. One might be put off by the number of characters in the stories. When I say “a number”, I meant really A LOT of characters, and one could get lost with them.
Suffice it to say, Awakened is truly an awakening book. My eyes went wide like saucers, my lips were swollen because I had to bite them a million times while trying to muffle the sounds coming out of my mouth. I can’t tell you how erotic and steamy this book is, from beginning to end. All I know is, you’d be sweating profusely afterwards.
This is another great hit by Elisabeth Naughton and the series just keeps getting better and better! I remember reading Marked sometime ago and had read a few others after that. I loved how this series evolved and became one of my favorites. Damon and Elysia are one hot pair and are eternally meant for each other. Miss Naughton sure does make them Guardians hot and mighty. The book is scintillating, titillating, amazing and definitely awakening!
