When
it comes to Máax, the God of Truth who refuses to follow the rules, there's
more to him than meets the eye. Literally. Because Maáx is invisible! Which is
probably why, after seventy-thousand years, he's still unable to find a mate. Ashli Rosewood was never meant to die. In fact, her death might be the very reason the gods are now faced with stopping that pesky doomsday right around the corner. If only there was a way to undo the past.
Cue Máax. Seven feet of divine masculinity and the unruly god charged with saving Ashli. With a little help from an ancient Mayan tablet, Máax will travel back in time and set things right.
Easy, right?
Wrong.
Because Máax has one teensy challenge. He's invisible. And every time this impatient, powerful deity gets anywhere near Ashli, he spooks her right into harm's way. Meaning...she dies, and he has to start all over again.
Cliff, banana peel, runaway storage container filled with Belgian chocolates, bee sting, the list goes on and on. Does the Universe have it out for this girl? Sure seems that way. But why? And what will Máax do when he begins to suspect that not only is Ashli the key to stopping the apocalypse, but she may be "the one" he's been waiting seventy-thousand years for.
How will he save the one woman the Universe insists on killing and who wants nothing to do with him?
This book was so fun. The author’s humor and
wit had me, literally, laughing out loud! The story is very creative and kept
me interested until the end.
Máax is hot stuff, totally drool-worthy.
His integrity only adds to the magnetism of his Alpha personality. He loves fiercely
and believes in complete truth and honesty. I could feel the sadness in his
acceptance of his fate and my heart broke for him. Especially after discovering
that after 70,000 years, he has finally found a mate. His frustration at her “oops”
moments made me giggle, but then as his feelings for her deepened, I was
carried away on the depth of his need to keep her from harm.
“Please, Ashli,’ he whispered between kisses.
She slid her hands over the hard swells of his,
well, perfectly defined pecs, enjoying the sensation of him. Everything about Máax was so fiercely male. He made her feel feminine and
delicate, but strong and sexy. But dammit, the man was infuriating.
And so sinfully male.
And so confusing.
And so heavenly!
And so dangerous.”
Ashli is a complex character. She is living in
the past so completely that she can’t see the future. Her grief at losing her
parents, and guilt at having survived the accident, is understandable. She is
very strong and capable. She handles the “crazy” served to her on a platter,
with a pretty open mind. She didn’t believe it so fast that I felt her
personality to be unrealistic, but rather, she accepted what was right in front
of her, though still not quite believing.
“There’s
no place like home, no place like home, no place like home. Except that
some of Oz had returned with her. Case in point, Mr. Invisible and his trusty
pack of men in black.”
My only
issue with Ashli was her anger at Máax for what she felt was an
ultimate betrayal. Even after she came to the conclusion that she would have
done the same, she continues to punish him for far longer than I would have
liked. However, their chemistry is explosive and I enjoyed the ride.
There are many secondary characters in this
book that had me giggling. However, Cimil is freaking hilarious! She is 7
different kinds of crazy, but it certainly makes for great entertainment,
especially her inner monologue.
“I don’t
make mistakes.
Yes, you do. Just this morning you lit your cell on fire
while trying to make a grilled cheese with a flame thrower.
Fine…guilty as charged.”
And her relationship with her mate, a vampire
named Roberto…awesome. It somehow combines sickly sweet love and adoration,
with off the wall humor.
“Roberto’s eyes bored into her, cautioning not
to push him. ‘Say it.’
‘Nope.’
‘Do it or no Love Boat for you tonight.’
Dammit! Why are vampires so cruel?
‘Okay.’ She stomped her foot. ‘I’ll say it: You
rock. You’re the most awesome vampire ever to walk the planet.’
Roberto crossed his powerful arms over his
broad chest. ‘aaaaaaand?’
Cimil huffed like a crabby four-year-old. ‘And
if the apocalypse is halted, I vow to have your love child.’ Maybe. ‘And I will keep my vow to marry
you.’ Maybe.”
I seriously recommend this book. It’s part of a
series and I can’t wait to read more!
