Goodreads Blurb:
Conservator Maia Douglas is an expert on ancient Greece and its mythology. She would never tell anyone at the museum where she works, but she's always had a secret crush on the mythical Eryx, Greek god of love. There is nothing she loves more than to tend to her favorite statue of him, and her nighttime dreams are filled with luscious images of Eryx making love to her.

One day, the peace at Maia's beloved museum is shattered when a new director arrives. A man who looks exactly like her image of Eryx. As Maia watches, he manages to upset her ordered museum world, at the same time he inflames her with unwanted desire.

Maia does not know that her new boss is actually the god Eryx, disguised as a mortal so he may work in antiquities. Although he is the god of love, he has forsaken his sexual nature because of a curse that has killed any woman he's dared to love. Though he fights it, Eryx is drawn to Maia with a force he's never experienced in a thousand years. But can he convince her of his true identity? And can he protect her from a vengeful goddess who seeks her destruction?

Another great read by Rosanna Leo! You can expect great humor, some tears of sadness, thrills of excitement and a perfect sensual touch as you explore the pages of this delightful book. Anyone that enjoys paranormal, romance (the combination of paranormal romance), or is just looking for an all around great read will fully enjoy For the Love of a God.

Maia is a restorer at a museum that she has known and visited for most of her life. Her father once worked there and now she does the restoration of many Greek statues and other items in need of repair. She loves her job! One day the new director strolls in and is making changes to staff as well as items on display. Maia is nervous that she’s on his list of ‘to be fired’ and is a wreck when he approaches her. He then removes her favorite statue from display which is pure torture for her. She’s loved that particular god/statue since she was a young girl. The new director is one drop dead gorgeous specimen of a man and there’s a chemistry that burns between the two of them. But there’s something about him that bothers her. It does not help that he looks like one of her all time favorite gods!

Eryx is one God all of us woman would not mind having as our arm candy, in our beds and to live out our lives with. I mean the God of love?!? Who wouldn’t? Eryx has a past and a history. One major part of his past and a loss he still grieves prevents him from continuing in the major role his God name depicts. He’s not had a woman in his arms or a drink in his hands for too long. But when he meets this delightfully messy dressed yet gorgeous mortal, she does things to him that is unwelcome, yet desired.

I loved watching a relationship grow and prosper with these two. They both have gone through so much in their lives and remain strong. But around one another they brings even more and it becomes such an unbreakable bond that constricts the heart of the readers in a very pleasant way. Rosanna, you have a new fan. I cannot wait to read more of your yummy Greek God creations ;)
