Book Review - The Heart of War by Ms. Lisa Beth Darling

By -
ABOUT THE BOOK
When Ares the God of War investigates an intrusion on his island exile, he never imagines that the castaway running from her future will save his.  Banished from Olympus for crimes he didn’t commit, Ares has grown comfortable on his isolated island, content with the company of his guards and his harem of women. 
Magdalena, claimed as a child bride of a Celtic god, wakes up bound and beaten on a remote island confused by memory loss.  However, anything is better than the fate imposed on her by an ancient god.  With the mistrustful help of Ares, they must

Distrusting each other, but thrown together by fate, they discover she is a pawn in a murderous plot stretching back hundreds of years.

REVIEW
Ms. Darling takes characters from ancient legends and breathes new life into them.  Her blend of mythology and modern issues is well written and inspiring.  The characters stay true to themselves and show once again that love can conquer all, but only after a hard, vicious fight.  I found the characters engaging, sympathetic and very memorable.  I definitely want to see how the story progresses. 

Warning: this novel is intended for ADULTS ONLY.  It is not recommended for the faint of heart.  It contains several scenes of graphic sex and violence.   As a dark erotic romance, there are scenes that will make your blood boil, your stomach churn, and break your heart.  
OVERALL RATING - 5 STARS!
MATURITY RATING - 18+ VERY steamy (scenes containing graphic torture, sex, and sexual violence)
