What Are The Steamiest Greek Gods Romance Books Available?

For instance, A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St. Clair was a great read! I really enjoyed how Hades and Persephone were written in this novel. They were like you had never read before and the chemistry between them was palpable. Also, how Scarlett St. Clair wrote the Underworld was so great – it read like this amazing Vegas inspired by Sin and Desire and each chapter was expertly written to bring so much tension that eventually had to explode into some super hot fan-need-to-have-it-cooled-down-by-scenes. Next to that, Neon Gods by Katee Robert was also really good. In this novel, Hades is written as the dark, brooding king of the Underworld with a possessive tendency and Persephone is no demure little flower – she is all fire and so very defiant. I really loved their power game.

If you enjoy stories with a mix of poly relationships then ‘The Bonds That Tie’ series by J. Bree follows a group of gods and demigods and the various complicated relationships that they are involved in. While it isn’t strictly Greek mythology, the way in which power struggles between divine beings is handled in this series is really great, and the sexual scenes are sizzling. On the opposite end of the spectrum from Neon Gods, is ‘King of Battle and Blood’ by Scarlett St. Clair, which is a dark and gritty adaptation of Greek mythology and a supernatural epic set during war, following a number of characters including Adrian, the god of war, and Isolde, his new enemy-turned-clone-lover. It’s a seriously passionate book.

Greek God Romances that will make you blush? Look no further than Lore Olympus. This webcomic is exceptional in print as well, and the Hades/Persephone story arc by Rachel Smythe is a slow burn that will drive you mad. In print, there’s also an underappreciated lesbian retelling of the same mythology called The Dark Wife by S.E. Diemer, chock full of both physical and emotional heat. Lastly, there’s the well-endowed Eros in electric idol by Katee Robert. He’s a tattooed bad boy with a heart of gold and Psyche is no pushover. Their arranged marriage is scorching in short, sweet doses.

I really appreciate the way that an author can explore consensual BDSM within a thoughtful mythological framework. Books such as ‘Neon Gods’ set consensual power within very clear boundaries and excellent communication and therefore elevates the mere physicality of the steamy content to exploration of issues of trust, surrender and negotiation which are very relevant to the myths of trickery, of making pacts with gods and of fate. The best books of this subgenre use the physicality of the characters to increase their understanding of each other as well as their understanding of the power dynamics at play.
