Instead, he encounters Riley Dawson, a social worker who seems to be having the day from hell. After her life has been threatened twice in the same night, she finds her saviour, the mysterious man who can control water, very alluring. Throughout the book, Conlan and Riley fight their attraction for one another. But as is the case with all romances, they can’t bare to stay away from each other.
I really enjoyed the characters in this series. In fact, I can’t wait to read about some of the other warriors of Poseidon! Riley was a great heroine. She was strong, smart and witty while also being vulnerable at the same time. I liked her confidence even as she was being thrust into a world she didn’t know existed before. She was a perfect match for Conlan, who seems completely enamoured by his little empath.
Ven and Alaric are the two that I want to read about! I loved Ven’s care-free attitude and his hilarious bantering with the other warriors. And poor Alaric! I am interested to hear what happens next with him and Quinn! Each of the warriors have their own personal curses they must deal with and I am very curious to see how things turn out for each of them. This book was a success in piquing my curiosity.
But it’s the worldbuilding that really caught my attention in this book. Ms. Day crafts such a complex and intriguing world that from just the prologue alone, I could tell how much research went into this novel. It was great to read about her take on the Atlantis tale and the little tweaks here and there where she inserted unexpected creatures. I especially liked the concept of vampires taking over Congress and the shapeshifters ruling the media. Very unique and highly entertaining. I’m sure as the series progresses, we’ll discover more to the wonderful world that Day has created.
I am very excited to read the rest of the books in this series. I’m sure they will be as promising as this first instalment in the Warriors of Poseidon. I’m so ready for Ven!
When it comes to books I’m pretty adventurous. I read everything from Paranormal Romance to Urban Fantasy, New Adult, BDSM, LGBT fiction, Cozy Mysteries and even YA. If it’s got the littlest trace of romance in it, then I’ll probably read it. That being said, my all-time favorite authors are J.R. Ward and Karen Marie Moning.
When I’m not submerged in a good book, you can find me musing about makeup and planners or dreaming about Kpop boys and beaches. Until then, check out my reviews and let’s talk books!

Oooh love the sound of this book! Thanks for the great review 😀
Thanks Belle! Hope you find it your style!
I always like reading the first book in many series when a writer has created a new fantasy world for me to visit and new races/or takes on races for me to meet.
This series does look good.
