Book of the Month - January

A friend gave me this book for Christmas. It's called Fantasy Lover by Sherrilyn Kenyon. Now I'm not usually too much into romances (in fact, I normally avoid them at all costs), but this one seemed a bit intriguing... and I have to say I was impressed. It was an incredible story... great mix of romance (but doesn't go overboard), fantasy (with some magical elements and supernatural themes), and history (namely Greek Gods and Goddesses). I highly recommend it!

Here's the book description and some reviews as found on Amazon.com:

Product Description

Dear Reader,

Being trapped in a bedroom with a woman is a grand thing. Being trapped in hundreds of bedrooms over two thousand years isn't. And being cursed into a book as a love-slave for eternity can ruin even a Spartan warrior's day. As a love-slave, I knew everything about women. How to touch them, how to savor them, and most of all how to pleasure them. But when I was summoned to fulfill Grace Alexander's sexual fantasies, I found the first woman in history who saw me as a man with a tormented past. She, alone, bothered to take me out of the bedroom and into the world. She taught me to love again. But I was not born to know love. I was cursed to walk eternity alone. As a general, I had long ago accepted my sentence. Yet now I have found Grace-the one thing my wounded heart cannot survive without. Sure, love can heal all wounds, but can it break a two thousand year old curse?
