Review: For the Gods’ Sake by Rory L. Scott
/About the Book
For the Gods' Sake is a fake dating, reluctant allies fantasy romance novel. It is the third book in the Tempt the Gods series and can be read as a standalone, but it is recommended to read the recap at the beginning of the book.
A god and a princess. Working together.
The Greek and Roman gods have co-existed for over two thousand years until the unthinkable happens. Adrian Zeus Jupiter was born from the unexpected, scandalous love affair between his mother, Lady Zeus, and his father, Lord Jupiter. Now, close to three decades later, his birth has forced the gods to combine into one system. While most have accepted the change, there has been a conspiracy brewing—one that threatens Adrian's rule and life.
To save his line, Adrian turns to the one person who could eclipse his fame—Reyna Romulus. As the people's princess and the heir to the most powerful business in the Mediterranean, Reyna is the balm to Adrian's reputation he desperately needs to smooth things over while he dismantles the conspiracy. Little does he know, Reyna needs him just as badly.
As the threat against the gods mounts and their lives are threatened, Adrian and Reyna's arranged relationship will be tested, along with their promise to not fall in love with each other.
Review
Rory L. Scott was so kind to send me an ARC, a review wasn’t required; however, I read this book and knew that I wanted to rave about it. I had previously read the previous installments of this series. I loved them, and I loved For the Gods’ Sake. In fact, I think that Adrian and Reyna might be my favorite couple in this series. This series is the perfect blend of Roman and Greek mythology with entertaining romances. It’s easy to follow; the stakes are high. It has swoony-worthy men and incredible women.
This is Adrian and Reyna’s story, however, the two previous couples do contribute to the main plot within the series. Back to Adrian and Reyna. The two of them enter this fake relationship designed to get them specific results. Of course, along the way they begin to fall in love. Their love is passionate, and their dynamic is especially intriguing. Reyna isn’t a God, but Adrian is the God of Gods. Everyone is interested in their relationship, and it feels like they are the It Couple. I could absolutely read five more books about them.
Final Thoughts
Tempt the Gods is a must-read series. Every book keeps getting better and better. At this time, For the Gods’ Sake is my favorite within the series. There was something so magical about Reyna and Adrian and I very quickly fell in love with them and their dynamic.
