"Engaging paranormal romance"
In modern day New Orleans, Selena decides her best
friend sex therapist Grace Alexander needs to get laid
after four years of abstinence caused by an SOB using her
just after her parents died. As a birthday present for
Grace, Selena brings her an ancient book that contains a
picture of a hunk General Julian of Macedon. Selena
believes that if Grace follows the instructions of the
tome, she can summon up Julian to come as her sex slave for
a month. To shut up Selena, a skeptical Grace says the
enchantment. After Selena leaves, Julian stands naked in
Grace's house. He begins a seduction, but Grace stops him, a new
experience for Julian. He tells her he was cursed in 149
BC and has not been out of the book since 1895. Grace asks
what it is like inside and he says that you can hear
everything in the same room as the book, but admits that he
is now claustrophobic. Grace says she will free him, but
no sex though Julian plans to teach her the pleasures of
the body. However, either a two thousand years old curse
will vanish due to love or an enchanting duo will remain
frustrated and depressed for eternity. Readers will enjoy Sherrilyn Kenyan's paranormal
romance that stars a delightful lead couple and a strong
support cast including several members of the Greek
Pantheon. The story line is at its ardent best when it
focuses on the relationship between the son of Aphrodite
and the American sex therapist. Though two sidebars
involving a patient and an ex-lover respectively seem
unnecessary, FANTASY LOVER still mesmerizes the audience. Harriet Klausner
