Clio is the human vessel for the Muse of History. She keeps her head in her books and is the one that found the prophecy about the Guardians. Mason is the only contractor willing to work on the women’s theater. He has been hunting Pamela, Kronos mistress, and nothing will stop him from taking her down. Clio isn’t the only one keeping secrets. Mason was descended from lycans. Zeus cursed the men of his family with turning into wolves. Mason is Clio’s guardian and he has inhuman strength when it involves Clio. But Mason knows that he is one shift away from staying a wolf forever, will he be able to find his way back?
This was awesome! I loved Clio and Mason. Hot sex, intrigue, and a story I couldn’t put down.
Clio is so shy, Mason is not shy but a man of few words. He knows about the muses and the gods because he is a lycan. He is not sure if Clio knows what she is so is hesitant to say anything. The action starts early and keeps going throughout the story. More pieces of the puzzle start to fall into place and they find an enemy in Pamela who is a goddess who walks the earth as a mortal. The narrator did an awesome job brining the story to life I really enjoyed the whole performance.
Love this series. I originally purchased the collection of 3 books. Fantastic series.
Man I loved these two and yes their devotion to each other is what the story is all about. He continues to rescue her and while they are interested both are focused on the craziness going on around them. While they share their secrets with each other those secrets may be the death of them. That is until they realize that they are stronger together.
There are plenty of secrets and references to the other books in the series but nothing you can’t catch up on in this standalone read with carryover characters and action. Yes the story is carried over from the previous books but even though I have read them out of order I still was able to catch up. Now I get to start the series right and go from the first book. I love the characters and the whole plot is awesome and this author makes you work for it in the best of ways. Great stuff I can’t wait for more.
Clio Clarke has the spirit of the Muse of History inside her. She and her sister muses have been trying to get their theater renovated and open. If it hadn’t been for the contractor doing the work, a big fire, caused by the Order of Kronos would have killed her.
Mason Knowles is more than just a building contractor. He has been tracking a murderer for years. The woman killed his cousin years ago and is now after the Muses. If he stays close to them, he will get a chance to end her.
Our hero is a little distracted by one of the sisters, but can’t allow himself to get sidetracked because he knows it will never last.
Our heroine has watched several of her sisters find their guardians and true love. She must wait for her guardian, not get involved with the sexy contractor who saved her life.
This is part of a series that must be read in order. Once you read the first you will be unable to resist the rest. Each book does have it’s own beginning and end, but is linked by the main storyline. They are all very exciting stories with great characters and surprising twists. I’m totally addicted to thus series and refuse to miss one.
This is the fifth book in the Muse Chronicles. One of the things I really enjoy about this series is how well Ms. Kessler writes. Her characters, plot, and just the sheer emotions are fabulous, and this book just elicits so many emotions, you feel like a wreck at the end. Not a bad wreck but a good one, and as with all the books in the series, this one made me cry in a good way. The love and tenderness Clio and Marsh had for each other really shines through. I’m not even a very sappy person, and this book just got to me. For less emotional things, we also learn new items about the gods and goddesses which change the way the sisters will have to deal with obstacles and brought up new problems they will have to deal with in future stories. I really enjoyed the twist of one of the characters being a werewolf, throwing in a whole new dimension to the world. I am so excited to see what’s going to happen next and see the next couple become an item. The author is just great with words, and I wish more people read her. If you are already a fan, you will love this one. If you love romances/adventure, you really need to try this author and series! Highly recommend! Thanks to the author for the e-copy which I voluntarily reviewed.
Clio the muse of History always has her nose in a book, that is until Mason comes along. He’s the sexy carpenter and the only one who’s willing to help rebuild the theater. Clio has a strong attraction to Mason she really wants him to be the one. With the secrets she must keep and knowing there’s a guardian out there for her she knows she should stay away.
Clio and Mason are a cute couple and I have enjoyed their story! The devotion you see between them is remarkable and the trials they are put through hold you mesmerized till the end.
I also loved finding out if my assumption were right about a few characters I had suspicions over. I look forward to reading the next ones!
