Excerpt:
“Come
now.” He winked, and her heart skipped a beat. “I’d hardly call my pursuit of
your chastity tragic.”
“Not
tragic for you.” Syrinx scrounged up her willpower and inched toward the falls.
She glanced at his muscular legs, then wished she hadn’t. A blush burned her
cheeks. “Breaking my vow destroys everything I stand for.”
He
gave her a suggestive smile and stepped forward. “I’ll make it worthwhile.”
She
bet he would. Her mind wandered, wondering what those sinister lips tasted like
and how it would feel to be claimed by him. He’d saved the girl, so he wasn’t
as evil as she made him out to be. Yet he could have done it just to gain her
confidence. Underneath his sly flirtatiousness, who was he? A child of the
forest—wild and untamed, fickle and cold as the wind. She’d have him for a day,
then he’d be on to his next conquest, and she’d have nothing. Not even her
pride.
She
didn’t trust him, and she couldn’t trust herself.
Syrinx
backed toward the falls. The surge of water roared at her back.
“Please.”
Pan held out his hand, and the pain in his eyes tugged on her heart. “Give me a
chance.”
“And
sacrifice my eternal honor for one night?” She laughed bitterly. “You can never
make it worth it.”
Without
another word, she spread her arms and fell back, sailing down the falls like an
angel falling from the heavens. Adrenaline rushed through her, along with a
bubbling sense of freedom and a strong pride in herself. She would not give in
to her temptations. She was the goddess of chastity and she reigned supreme.
My Review: 4 stars
I love a good book with mythology in it. This was no different. I loved that Aubrie made it modern and her own. I really liked the attraction between Syrinx/Sylvia and Pan/Parker. I really enjoyed that it was just the bit of mythology, not focusing on that, but on the relationship between Sylvia and Parker. They have a great connection and this was a very easy read. Aubrie did a good job keeping me reading and it was very entertaining. This is also the first book I've read by Aubrie, but I'm gonna keep an eye out for her.
