What we find with Demetrius is a man who is scarred by who his mother is (I won't reveal that one) and by the abuse he suffered by his father. He feels he isn't worthy of anyone like Isadora and rather than give himself any hope, he lashes out in hopes of making them hate him. He is, in fact, one of those alpha males that I love. Hard as rocks on the outside, but nice and squishy on the inside.
Isadora, who was a little annoying at times in the earlier books, truly proves herself in Tempted. She may not be used to having to do things for herself, but she's willing to try. She was stronger than Demetrius or herself thought she was and became the strong warrior woman that our Eternal Guardian's sole mates need to be. Her ultimate triumph came when she finally stood up to her father and demanded he give her her birthright in order to save the man she loves.
The next book in the series, Enraptured (which comes out April 2012), will feature Orpheus who will journey into the underworld to save his brother Gryphon from the Underworld. Seeing as Apophos stole his body for his evil deeds, this should be quite interesting.
If you love Greek mythology, these sexy Argonaut decedents are just the men you'll want to sync your teeth (or nails) into.
