Lover, Divine (Mythos: Gods and Lovers #1) by A. Star: Interview

Title: Lover, Divine (Mythos: Gods and Lovers #1)

Author: A. Star

Genre: Fantasy Romance

For fans of the Oracle of Delphi series...and for those who aren't...

Born into one of the wealthiest families in Ireland, Siobhan Law has status, privilege, and a secret: The Greek gods of Olympus and their kingdom in the clouds are real, and her family acts as one of their agents on Earth.

When the beautiful immortal celeste Liam Argyros shows up claiming to have come to Earth to deal in the affairs of the divine, Siobhan finds herself unable to resist his charms. New to the game of passion and seduction, she quickly ends up in over her head, sinking deeper with every attempt Liam makes to win her over.

But Liam’s divine mission is far more complex than she ever imagined and nothing is truly as it seems. Because Liam has a secret of his own: He is Apollo, Olympian god of the Sun, and his mission will never be complete until he has claimed Siobhan’s heart forever.

WARNING: For readers 18+ only. Contains adult language and sexual situations.

How long did it take you to write Lover, Divine?

It took me about five months to write this book. It's not a very long book and it was a story I'd just been itching to put on paper. So the the writing process went pretty fast.

If you were stranded on a desert island which of your characters do you want by your side?

Apollo. He's a Greek god so I think I'd be in good hands, even if those same hands have done some terrible things.

What's your favorite book-turned movie?

The LOTR trilogy was beyond amazing, but so was Harry Potter.

How do you overcome writer’s block?

Oh how I wish I had the answer to that question. I think for me the "block" is usually a result of too much stress. So I just have to wait it out most of the time. I'll overcome it eventually.

Can you share a little of your current work with us?

Sure thing. Here is a snippet from my next release Wish For Me (The Djinn Order, Act One).

“You’ll be granting all my wishes, asshole, and you’ll hate every second of it. I plan on taking my precious little time about making them, so I hope that bottle has a television and a toilet that flushes because you’re going to be in there a while!”

Lover, Divine (Mythos: Gods & Lovers #1) by A. Star & Diantha Jones Review

Lover, Divine by A. Star
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Siobhan Law is from a family that protects the secrete of the existence of the Greek gods and acts as their representatives on earth. She has gained the interest of Apollo, god of the Sun, who is determined to win her heart.

I liked Siobhan. It makes sense that she draws the attention of Apollo since he is the god of music, and she is a talented musician. She is witty and strong. She has a good heart and is likeable.

I do question Liam Argyros’ (aka Apollo) method of introducing himself to Siobhan. Seriously if it was me, I would have been pretty angry and probably stubborn. Okay he is the god of music and clearly talented, so I’m sure I would have gotten over it but still. As far as the gods go, he is a good choice for Siobhan, and I could see the appeal.

I like Vicky and Rupert. They are good friends to Siobhan. Vicky kept the story colorful.

A. Star (Diantha Jones) did a great job in with the dialect in the writing. Having married into an Irish family, I definitely felt the writing was authentic.

After completing Lover, Divine, I am very interested in reading Diantha Jones’ Oracle of Delphi Series, which takes place after this book. I really enjoy contemporary mythology novels and feel this one was well done. The Greek gods seem consistent with the original myths, making this story seem believable.
