Description In Favor Of Books Fantasy Lover (Hunter Legends Series #1)
Cursed into an eternity of slavery by his own brother, Julian of Macedon has spent centuries in hell, where the only respite he knows is measured in a handful of weeks whenever he’s summoned through an arcane spell. With the modern age, those summonings are becoming fewer and fewer, and he lives in fear of the day when they’ll stop for good.Grace Alexander doesn’t believe in much of anything. But when her “psychic” girlfriend talks her into performing the spell as a joke on her birthday, the last thing she ever imagines is it working. But work it does. Now, she finds an ancient Greek general in her living room and trapped in her life for the next month. Worse, they learn too late that part of the spell means Grace will lose her sanity should he return to his captivity.
Now it’s a race against time to free him. Something much easier said than done, since it was the ancient gods who cursed him to his fate. And the last thing they want is to see him go free of the punishment the gods believe he
deserves. It’s man against the gods, and a race against time.

I couldn't wait to finish this book... but for all the wrong reasons. Even a 2 star rating seems generous. Back in 2002, when this book first came out, it was probably fresh and exciting. But from then on a lot has evolved in UF/PNR-land and I think I've been 'spoiled' with good quality writing. The writing was extremely simplistic, repetitive and annoying. The POV changing wasn't done well at all. The story was (I know: even for a PNR about a 2000 year old Spartan demi God) totally unrealistic.I couldn't wait to finish this book... but for all the wrong reasons.

No matter how much I tried, i couldn't take this book seriously. I don't think it was intentionally funny...
OH MY GOSHH!!!! Thanks to Aly, Ive found a new series to obsess about :)I was hooked to this story right from the start, I thought the story was going to be SUPER cheesy with all the guy steps out of a book and ends up falling for the girl...but NO, its not cheesy AT ALL.Grace is one of my fave heroines from this point on...and Julian, oh my...he is to die for!!!!Im in love with this series, and I hope this level of epicness goes on and on!!
This is going to be a comprehensive review for my thoughts on the 13 books and novellas that I've read in the series up to this point, so this review could be on the long side. Since I spent the past couple of weeks plowing through several of these books, I wanted to get some of my thoughts down on the series as a whole (so far) instead of writing out long reviews for each book, especially since many of my thoughts overlap from book-to-book. I might get up some mini-reviews/notes on the other
Posted on Under the CoversIm late on this one, I know. But better late than never, right?The premise of Fantasy Lover is so unique and genius that Im baffled to find that no other author has attempted to write something like this before. A Greek sex god emerges from a book to fulfill all of a womans sexual needs until the next full moon. Really, what more could a romance reader ask for? If only it were true...I enjoyed Julian and reading about his tortured past. Cursed forever and trapped in a
