First let me state, I received an Advance Reader Copy, (ARC), but this in no way influences my review. I always leave an honest review. Also this author is new to me. I recommend this read. 5 Thumbs up
Lure of Obsession
Wow!!! I was sceptical at first about reading this series I’m not a fan of stories about God’s. But this one just have made me a fan. If you don’t know, there are 9 Muse’s in Greek mythology; 1. Astronomy, 2. Tragic Poetry, 3. Epic Poetry, 4. Lyrics, 5. Music, 6. Dance, 7. Harmony & Hymn, 8. Comedy, & 9. History. These stories are about nine women who are the reincarnation of the muses.
This first story is about Melanie, (Mel), the Muse of Tragic Poetry. Mel is a high school teacher of classic literature & poetry. She comes home from work to find her “sister Muse of Astronomy”, who’s also her roommate, Nia dead. Detective Nate Malone is investigating the death and they’re both highly attracted to each other. Mel believes Nia was murdered, but Nate believes it was an accident. Oh this story grabbed me and wouldn’t let go. I’m off to book 2.
Legend of Love
Excellent!!! This story is about Cassie the Muse of Epic Poetry. Cassie is a Dr. Of psychology. She meets Hunter who’s a Navy Seal that just returned from a bad mission and he needs to be signed off so he can return to active duty. This story takes over from where book 1 ended, but it can be read as a standalone. The author gives you a few brush ups along the way, but not too many to irritate those that have read the first book. I’m off to book 3.
Breath of Passion
Wow!!! This is Erica, the Muse of Lyrics & Erotic Poetry. Erica is a songwriter & writes her lyrics for her sister Muse, Trinity, they’re a team. She met Reed, a firefighter with Federal Fire on a government base, voluntarily picking up trash with her sister muse, Callie, on the airstrip in what’s called the FOD walk. This story is so emotional and wild. Both Reed & Erica have had a bad past relationship and are very strong in their belief of never doing it again. So many things happened in this story. I’m so looking forward to reading the rest of this series.
This is the first three books in the Muse Chronicles. The series itself is about nine women who are the current generations Greek Muses. Per a prophecy each generation would bring about nine women who would change the world. My favorite quote pretty much explains the series. “Every myth begins from a need to explain a reality.” In this case the reality is that each woman is intelligent and independent with a muse within them that embodies who they are as an individual. Now the men are a different story. Another quote that shows how they play into the situation “The prophecy said the Guardians protected their muses. Nothing about loving them.” These men are strong, sexy, and very protective of those that matter to them. Each man was marked to protect a muse and have a gift that lies dormant until he meets his muse. Now if only they each of the women and men can overcome what has made them scared there may be a chance for them to have true happiness. Read to find out what each are willing to sacrifice and do to find happiness and for theater they all believe in.
If you like Mythology and hot men that take protection to a new level, this series is a definite read. It has betrayal, lies, heartbreak, love, family and a sisterhood you have never read before. Expect action, drama, family and love to come off the pages. Very well written and descriptive enough that I could visualize what was going on.
Note: Due to adult content this series is for readers 18+.
This was my first Lisa Kessler’s book, and won’t be my last. This boxed set includes the first three books in The Muse Chronicles Series (Lure of Obsession, Legend of Love, Breath of Passion). This is a series of interconnected stories, with characters intertwined. This Series is original, complex, captivating, and entertaining. Between the Muses, their Guardians, and a malicious Order, never a dull moment! The characters are intriguing and well developed. I loved to follow Mel, Nat, Callie, Hunter, Erica, and Reed, in their suspenseful journey. The cast of supporting characters is interesting. Gwendolyn Druyor did an amazing job with the narration. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to listen to Light of the Spirit, the next book in the Series.
I have read the muse chronical books several times in the last few years and I have enjoyed them every time. Listening to them this time did not change my mind in the least. The story is still very strong with unexpected twists and turns and happily ever after’s. I love the thought of a god’s daughters being reborn into human vessel’s and they have trials and tribulations they have to overcome. This three book bundle is worth the read or the listen whatever your preference is.
Love this series! It’s one of my favorites! Excited for more! Each book is a 5 star!
Here are my reviews for each of the 3 books in this boxset!
Lure of Obsession – 5 stars
I’m going to love reading this series! I love the premise of muses being reborn and having guardians! And of course, some type of evil out to get them! So much fun and romance!
Melanie is the first muse’s story we get, Melanie is the Muse of Tragic Poetry, and her roommate, who was also a muse, has died. Melanie and the other muses suspect foul play, but the police say it was accidental. Nate Malone is the detective on the scene, and when he meets Melanie strange things begin to change for him. Melanie and Nate begin to feel a pull towards each other, but both have reservations about the situation.
I love that there is a bit of mystery to the story, and I enjoyed the action scenes. Melanie and Nate have great chemistry, and are really sweet with each other. The sex scenes had just the right amount of spice and heat and emotion! Nate was a sweetheart and I liked his need to protect Melanie. Melanie was fun and tough, and I loved that she has a bit of spunk. I love that we get POV’s from both Melanie and Nate, but we also get the bad guy’s POV, which I would have liked a bit less of, so there was a bit more mystery, but that didn’t ruin the story for me. Also, the Maggie situation was a little weird for me, I don’t know why it didn’t quite mesh with me because it was a sweet aspect, but something about it sat wrong for me, but that also didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the rest of the book.
I love the combination of romance and suspense, so I am really looking forward to reading more books in this series! I enjoyed the other muses, and can’t wait for their stories and for them to get their own guardians! I also enjoyed the writing, and look forward to reading more books by Lisa Kessler!
Legend of Love – 5 stars
I love this series and Lisa Kessler’s writing! I love the romance and the suspense! Legend of Love is the 2nd book in the Muse Chronicles, and although each book is about a different Muse and their Guardian, I think it’s best to read the first book before this one or you will have some spoilers for the first in this book, and the first book is excellent as well, so no hardship there. The Muses are in danger because someone is out to kill them so they can’t open a theater and inspire people to do great things, and to help out the Muses, each has a Guardian that will supposedly help them out, and each of these Guardians will have something special to help the Muses succeed. In this book, we get Callie’s story, she is the Muse of Epic Poetry, which means she has the desire to be a bit of a daredevil. Callie also works as a psychiatrist on a military base, and that’s where she meets Hunter. Hunter is a soldier that just had a mission where one of his fellow soldiers didn’t make it back home, so he needs to get approval to return to service. Hunter and Callie feel an attraction towards each other, but Callie is hesitant because she has a bad experience from her past that affects her. Callie and Hunter are really sweet together and have some super hot moments and some swoon worthy moments, and I love how honest they are with each other; there’s no games. Legend of Love is entertaining and I enjoyed the action, and I’m super excited to read the next book!
Breath of Passion – 5 stars
Love Lisa Kessler’s writing, and I love this series! This installment of The Muse Chronicles is definitely a hot one! I’d suggest reading the first 2 books in the series first, but each book is about a different muse, so it isn’t completely necessary, but there are characters from the previous books, and there is a continuing storyline throughout the series, so read those first! They are awesome too, so no hardship there! In Breath of Passion, Erica’s muse brings on passion in others, and Erica has had a bad experience with this, so she tries to keep her relationships only on the surface, but when sexy, hot fireman, Reed, comes into her life, their chemistry is off the charts! I love the suspense of the evil group trying to get rid of the muses, and I love getting glimpses of the past muses. I do think the muses need to take a more active role in protecting themselves, they all feel rather blasé about the whole thing, and it’s getting a bit frustrating that they aren’t being more pro-active. I love the whole muse plotline, and the romance was wonderful. I love when characters try to stay away from each other, but they just can’t keep their hands off of each other! It makes for some intense, passionate scenes! Definitely enjoyed this book, and am definitely looking forward to the next!
Very slow read.
