This steamy, fast-paced paranormal romance by Sharonlee Holder is perfect for fans of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward and Sacrificed to the Dragon by Jessie Donovan.It’s been a thousand years since the Fates destroyed Olympus, forcing the gods into exile among the humans. Now, led by Eros, the sons and daughters of the Olympians are preparing for war. They are determined to win … war. They are determined to win their freedom, but the Fates will do anything to keep the status quo. A prophesied weapon—said to be able to destroy the Fates—is sought by both sides. Eros and the resistance want to use it to win their freedom, while the Fates race to find the weapon first and destroy it.
Antara, a hybrid of human and Custodial descent, comes into her ancestral powers as the very Tracker Eros needs to find the weapon. Kidnapped, held hostage and forced to confront the hidden truth about her own heritage, Antara is drawn deeper and deeper into a world she never knew existed. Things would be a lot simpler if she could just hate Eros for bringing her here; if his fate weren’t now bound to her own—and if, despite everything, she didn’t already find herself falling in love with him…
Resurgence is a fast-paced paranormal romance featuring rich, dynamic characters centered on a smoldering love story and timeless themes.

New to me author and book on Greek Mythology.This book really grabs you from first to last page. Well written,steamy,fast-paced and lots of funny moments thrown in. There are a few grammar errors but nothing major. Steamy hot greek gods disguised as sexy hot modern day humans. Ross AKA EROS tries to help out Antara a human/hybrid (she has no idea about the hybrid part) and she wants no part of his help. Great supporting characters that make you wanna continue to next book.
This first book in a paranormal romance series really turns up the steam. I love the fated romance, the mythological background, and the unique action packed plot. Both of the books in this series are must reads for those who love Steamy Romance.
I recently finished Resurgence by Sharonlee Holder and let me just say: what a ride. First off, this is not my usual genre. Watching a paranormal movie is more my comfort level but I decided what the heck let me give it a try.
An amazing read and I’m glad I delved in. Greek Mythology with a South Africa setting. What more can I say. Who doesn’t love a god with chiseled features and mouthwatering abs?
What do you get when you pitch an arrogant alpha hero or god against a beautiful strong, sassy heroine? Fireworks! Not just in their conversations but a blatant sizzle between the sheets as well. The book focuses on the two main characters Ross and Antara who are thrown together in an epic start to the novel for reasons I shall not mention as it will give away spoilers. The energy throbs from start to finish and the side characters complement the story well without boring you to death. Let’s just say there is a whole lot more to Murphy’s Law than meets the eye.
The plot steers you along the lines of stopping a war, adventure and saving the world, throw in a rock star for good measure and you have an interesting, entertaining read.
While the dialogues are filled with wit and sarcasm my absolute favorite lines were, and I quote:
Antara choked out, “You’re…Cupid?”
Halogen eyes narrowed at the offence and wingtips flicked in agitation. “Eros,” he growled.
“Uh…okay but…aren’t you supposed to be wearing, like, a diaper and be carrying a bow and arrow around that shoots hearts or something?”
Ross thinned his lips and glared at her, looking for all the world like an affronted Doberman that had just been called a ‘cute widdle puppy dog.’
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and highly recommend giving it a read. Looking forward to book two.
Resurgence was another fun departure from my typical books. It’s been a while since I was in my Greco-Roman mythology phase, but I read enough of it at the time that I recognized nearly all of the characters presented in Resurgence. I really enjoyed their modern day incarnations, and look forward to seeing how their bonds strengthen and develop in Renegade.
Murphy was an interesting “extra” from outside the Greco-Roman pantheon. I’m curious to see if his experiment will bear fruit. I would have liked to know his connection to Murphy’s law; hopefully, that will be explained in later books.
Resurgence was surprisingly unpredictable to me, in terms of the broader story line. I will note that I noticed several instances of what I would typically call errors. However, they were utilized with such consistency that I can only assume they’re simply grammar and spelling unique to South Africa.
Overall, I loved Resurgence and am eager to dive in to Renegade.
Loved this book! I was sucked into a world where mythology meets modern day. The characters are definitely loveable, some more than others, and the storyline moves at a fairly fast pace. There are twists and turns, secrets revealed, chemistry and tension-as they learn who can be trusted and who is a danger to them. I immediately purchased the 2nd book and cannot wait to get stuck into it.
