Heart of Fire (Blood of Zeus #2) by Meredith Wild & Angel Payne ~ Book Review

 












He’s forged from heaven. She’s promised to hell.

Professor Maximus Kane can no longer deny his passion for his stunning yet mysterious student, Kara Valari. But surrendering to their desires carries more consequences than just violating the Alameda University conduct codes. Kara has defied her destiny. Higher directives have been violated. Now there’s hell to pay.

It’s a crisis for which there seems no solution, until the explosive secrets of Maximus’s bloodline are exposed. Despite all his doubts and fears, Maximus has no choice but to accept help from his enigmatic father, which means coming to terms with his heritage and embracing a bizarre new world of gods and demons. Because somewhere in that world—in the strange and sordid secrets surrounding his past—is the key to protecting Kara’s future. Nothing has ever meant more to him than saving the treasure of her life and the fire of her heart.

While earth’s lower realms seek payback for Kara’s transgressions, Kara finds a new ally in a surprising place: the Valari matriarch herself. Beneath the scrutiny of the world press, Veronica orchestrates a plan to protect her daughter by doing what she does best—shining the spotlight on her. But by her side, Maximus can’t escape the glare of the paparazzi.

Can they buy time and blind their enemies with Kara’s fame? Or will Hollywood’s new “it” couple and their forbidden love incite more vengeance than they’d ever bargained for?



Other Books in the Trilogy



Ah•May•Zing!!!

This was a phenomenal read, Kara and Maximus' story is one of light and dark, good and evil, and the struggle for love to conquer all.

This is book two in the trilogy and each book must be read in the order they are released, book one left us with a cliffhanger and this book picks up right where that one left off. HEART OF FIRE give us more of an insight into each of the families, Kara's demon side as well as her human one, and Maximus is a demigod so we have his human side and his Greek God family as well which was very, very interesting.

Here's the ultimate question Can Love conquer all? This is an epic love story but it makes you wonder if good can overcome evil and if it can what is the ultimate price that will be paid for it. Kara and Maximus are hoping that their love will prevail and that no one will be hurt in the process, but only time will tell if that is what will happen because we are left with another cliffhanger and this one had me nearly jumping out of my skin with a lot of WTF's coming out of my mouth. 

I cannot wait to see what happens in FATE OF STORMS which is due out in May 2021...which cannot get here quick enough for me.

If you enjoy paranormal romances, teacher/student romances, or inter-species romances, I highly recommend this trilogy to you.

Happy Reading!!!
