Fantasy Lover by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Fantasy Lover (The Dark-Hunter World)

by Sherrilyn Kenyon

It might sound like a man's favorite fantasy - to live forever, destined to be the lover of thousands of women. But for Julian of Macedon, it's a nightmare. Once he was a proud Spartan general; now he's a love-slave, his essence magically held captive in a book, cursed to spend all eternity pleasing women. Then, one day, Grace Alexander summons Julian to fulfill her passionate dreams - and sees beyond the fantasy to the man himself.

Long years as a sex therapist, listening to other people's bedroom problems, have taken a lot of the fun out of the physical side of love for Grace. But with or without sex, the rules of the enchantment cannot be changed - Julian is hers for the next month. And, as their time together slips by, Julian and Grace find more to share than sympathy and conversation and they begin to wonder if love might be within their grasp. That leaves only one question. Is love enough to break a 2,000-year-old curse?

Really liked the first half, but after a while the premise just got tedious. It's disappointing that the ending comes down to a random dea and deus ex machina. Grace was the worst fictional therapist I have ever read about; she doesn't care about her clients, constantly tunes them out when in session and to be honest she should get her diploma revoked. The BFF only gets page time be a puppet, and her husband is a complete asshole. The premise sounded cool, but this spin on mythology wasn't my cup of tea.
