Goddess of Love: A Goddess Summoning Novel by P.C. Cast


  
          My goddess, does Pea Chamberlain ever need a makeover! Her shoes, hair, clothes, makeup: all disasters, especially if she wants to attract über-sexy fireman Griffin DeAngelo at the firemen’s masked ball. And who better to coax Pea out of her pod than the Goddess of Love, whom she invokes when she gets her hands on a book of enchantments.
            Sure enough, Venus works her magic on Pea, which is what she has been doing for eons – helping other find love. But who will help the Goddess of Love when she finds herself falling head over heels for the same sexy fireman she is trying to land for Pea? Could it be that Venus needs a love makeover herself? Check out the fireworks when the Goddess of Love unexpectedly loses her heart…

            P.C. Cast knows what she’s doing when it comes to writing a novel. As a side note, I adore her House of Night novels that she writes with her daughters. But beside that I LOVE her Goddess Summoning novels. So far I own 5 of the 7. Perhaps I’ll get the other two for my birthday! P.C. Cast knows how to mix ancient gods and goddesses of myth with the modern world and new characters.
            This story is about Pea being a very awkward person and invoking the Goddess of Love, Venus, to help her learn how to become a sexy, beautiful, and confident woman. For reasons unknown, but I’ll blame fate, Venus and Pea are both at the same restaurant and Venus hears Pea invoking her. She decides to answer and thinks it’ll be fun.
            It doesn’t take much to make Pea sexy. Venus just brings out her inner beauty. Which was really nice to read, because I don’t like when people with magical abilities changes a person without teaching them how to do it themselves. Venus takes the time and teaches Pea beauty care, makeup and being able to dress sexy.
            There wasn’t a whole lot of sex in this book. There were a few steamy places and they were greatly appreciated, however this book focused on ‘love’ and the different ways of making a person happy. By the end, both women had their romantic interests and they loved each other as well. They sister/friend bond is a love that many women need to take account for in their lives.
            In the end I am rating this book 4.5 stars. I loved it and can’t wait to read more of P.C. Cast’s worlds (Tulsa, OK) in the future.
