Shimmering Splendor (Greek Myths #2)

A romantic retelling of an ancient Greek myth finds Psyche and Eros struggling against the vengeful goddess Aphrodite to preserve their forbidden love and Psyche's earthly life.

When Psyche, because of her beauty and so many suitors, declares she hates Love and Beauty, her father closes the Temple of Aphrodite. Aphrodite sends Eros to punish them, but Eros falls in love with Psyche. His loyalty to Aphrodite causes him to punish Psyche by marrying her to a monster (himself in disguise). Psyche admits her attraction to the monster, and needs to prove her love to Eros. 2nd of the Myth trilogy by Roberta Gellis; originally published by Pinnacle Rated '2/5 - Behind closed doors' for steam/spice/heat level.
