Aphrodite never loses, not when it comes to love. Immortality has its perks and its downsides. Boredom, for one, is unavoidable, but instead of playing Backgammon, the Greek gods devised a game using humans as pawns. Remember Shakespeare? That was Apollo. Bonnie and Clyde? Aphrodite versus Ares. Aphrodite is on deck, and she'll defend her domain of love by using her magic to get the two human players together. Time is not on her side, and she'll have her work cut out for her as her opponent does everything in his power to keep the players apart. Game one is against Apollo, who chooses the loner Dean, a rock star who takes dark and brooding to the next level. His band has finally gotten a break, and he can't screw it up, not for another one night stand, and especially not with his new drummer's girlfriend. He swore to the band that he'd keep it together, but from the minute he first sees Lex, it takes every bit of willpower he has to stay away. But Dean's will is nothing for the Goddess of Love, who's certain she has a fighting chance to win with Lex as her player. The artist and poet is perfect for Dean, if only she can open her heart and find a way to love for the first time. There's always more at stake than winning the game when you've lived for thousands of years. The Olympians are the original dysfunctional family, surviving eons of love and lust, betrayal and lies, as friends and enemies, through feuds and wars. From the douchebag Ares, who's forever trying get Aphrodite into bed, to her best friend Persephone, who she can always count on for a hearty helping of bacon on a bad day, the gods will take you on a lighthearted trip as they toy with humans, laugh and fight, lose love and gain power. "Easily a five-star read. Can't wait to dive into Snake in the Grass!" -Candace Knoebel, author of the Born in Flames Trilogy "Once I came to the end of the book, I swooned. Literally. I swooned." - Andrea Johnson Beck, Author of the Deadly Series "I can guarantee that once you start reading this story, you won't want to put it down." -Sonya Loveday, Author of the Casted Series
