Dark Olympus Book 9: Tender Cruelty by Katee Robert

Dark Olympus Book 9

 I was his wife. His lover. His sworn enemy. The ice queen to Olympus’s most hated king.

*A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Hera and Zeus.*

The barrier that’s protected Olympus for generations has fallen. The enemy’s breached the gates and the Thirteen are scrambling to protect themselves, their loved ones, and the city they’ve sworn to protect. At least they would be if they weren’t at each others’ throats instead.

Hera has no intention of letting her husband, Zeus, survive the oncoming storm. But despite the white-hot hatred burning between them, when Hera and Zeus are forced to work together, enmity crystalizes into something brighter. Hotter. Too powerful to deny or destroy.

Hera never bartered on falling in love with the man she married―the man she once swore to kill. But now, standing back-to-back in the ruins of Olympus, she may be forced to admit that she’s been wrong about Zeus all these years…and there may be something about their marriage worth saving if they can survive long enough to turn sworn enemies into something more.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Zeus and Hera’s book has finally arrived! We’ve watched these two circle one another for a while now. Forced to marry and pitted against one another despite having the same goals in a way. But underneath all the so called hate is more emotion than either of them are truly willing to admit. However, the time has finally come for these two to admit what they feel for one another and lay their cards on the table. They finally get a chance to take off their masks and be Perseus and Callisto. The story picks up where the last one left off and now it’s Perseus and Callisto telling the story. Circe has arrived and is causing all sorts of chaos. She wants the Thirteen destroyed and is willing to go whatever lengths to do it. Hermes is still in the background playing on her own side. Perseus and Callisto both want to stop Circe but with her new threats, doing so is harder than ever. And now these two also have to face their feelings for one another. A true enemies to lovers story here. I’ve been looking forward to seeing exactly what the two of them are thinking and what they actually want for their futures. We are at the final stages of this storyline and the next book is going to be wild. I can’t wait to see how it all ends!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
