Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, still walks the modern world. No longer thronged by worshipers, Aphrodite heals the bodies and souls of the men she touches, one man, one night, at a time. But not everyone thinks of her as a long-dead myth. Someone is stalking her. The men who have hunted her kind as witches for centuries have passed their hatred on to their sons.

As she flees her enemies and tries to warn her sisters of the danger facing them once again, Aphrodite is followed by one of the members of the Brotherhood, a man who has been given the task of killing her, and any of her sisters who cross his path. But it does not take her long to discover that Steven Wharton is not a murderer, and his soul is one she has known before.

In this paranormal romance, a goddess’s past is brought to life, from the Greek city of Corinth to the shores of the island of Cyprus, at the court of Versailles to the burning city of Persepolis. But it is not until she meets Steve that Aphrodite falls in love for the first time. As she faces an ancient enemy, Aphrodite discovers that the love she feels, not the love she gives, is the root of her soul. And that love might even be the path to her freedom...

Aphrodite's Choice

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2016

This book is a real departure from my usual reading choices but now and again a girl just wants an entertaining bit of escapist fun. I’ve read a couple of other books by Ms. English – more in her historical romance line than this paranormal/fantasy series and I enjoyed them. She has a way with that boy/girl thing that is so vital to this genre of book. She has a way of creating fictional characters that seem like you could meet around the turn of the next corner.

Aphrodite – calling herself Addy in this century – walks the Earth healing men (one per night), helping women and spreading love but she fears that an ancient evil has found her and is going to hunt her down. As she goes through her day with the feeling of being watched she worries that a group that has been killing her sisters throughout time has found her. As she meets with her lawyer she finds an old foe all right – Ares, the god of war has come to visit. He never comes with good intent – what god of war would?

Will Addy be able to stay safe in a world where the god of war is following her?

This was a quick read; the chapters are short and I was flipping the pages of my Kindle app to follow Addy as she navigated the modern world. It was a delight to enter this world that Ms. English created where the gods walk among us mere mortals. The mix of mythology, fantasy, thriller and romance kept me glued to my phone until I’d read the entire book. I thoroughly enjoyed this fast paced, diverting read from a talented author. I hope there are others in this goddess series as Addy’s sisters would make interesting protagonists.

Reading different versions of the God's and Goddesses I think this version is the best that I have read in a long time. In a slight way it tells (to me) that we all have choices and the choice that we make we need to realize that what we have chosen could go either way.
In Aphrodite's Choice she made decisions based on whether the person agreed or not and she always followed the rules even though she wanted things differently.
This book by Christy English is different from her other books but just as wonderful I was totally glued as I read each page I felt like I was there with Addy when she was happy, sad, angry and even when she was so heartbroken Christy brought Addy, Steve,, her sisters and brothers too life so much that you are feeling everything that is going on.
I hope Christy writes more of the Goddess Diaries for I fell in love with her description of Addy's sisters and would love to read their choices...
If anything this book will have you guessing all wrong on the Brotherhood (of this time period) for when I thought I had the answer Christy got me...

Has Some Flaws but Enjoyable!

Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, still lives among us in the modern world. She takes the name Adele and every night heals a mortal man. She continues her daily routine until a secret society called the Brotherhood of Light, whose mission is to kill the remaining goddesses on earth, finds her. Aphrodite goes on the run for her life, taking with her a mortal named Steve, who had been assigned to kill her. Yet, when he fails to do so, he is in turn hunted by his own society. The two of them fall in love. Can Aphrodite find the freedom and love that she has always been dreaming of?

I really found Aphrodite to be an undeveloped character in this novel. There really was no character depth to her. The only thing we know about her is that she is lonely, and wants to have a mortal life. I also found her to be a weak character. She is a damsel in distress and is always needing saving. She was not a strong character. I really did not understand why Steve appealed to her most. She only met Steve for a few days, and she loved him without us knowing the reason why. I also thought that their romance was not real but fake. Steve only loved her simply because she was beautiful. There were no other reasons. Thus, this couple seems like it will be a failed relationship because they formed a relationship based on looks rather than personality and character.

Overall, this book is about love, friendship, and choice. It is about a woman’s quest for happiness. I found the characters needed more time to develop, for they were one-dimensional. I also found it slow and predictable. The historical elements seemed like fillers and did not give me any depths into these characters. I also had trouble understanding the world-building. Yet, despite the flaws, there were some parts of the book I liked. I liked the other goddesses, and I hope we get to explore them further in later installments. I also thought the writing was very beautiful and lyrical. I also liked the Greek mythology elements in this novel. So, while I was not satisfied with the romantic part of the book or the main characters, there is enough here to hold the attention of anyone interested in Greek mythology. I recommend this story to fans of Gwendolyn Womack’s The Memory Painter, Anne Fortier’s The Lost Sisterhood, and Tosca Lee’s The Progeny.

A time travel romance with suspense!

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2016

A novel that takes its reader beyond modern times to ancient worlds and long forgotten gods and goddesses, Aphrodite's Choice was a beautiful read, with memorable characters and a riveting plot. I found the concept interesting, and was left with a sense of almost bitter contentment to think the old religions had been so forgotten. I loved the romance aspect, as well as the descriptions and time jumps. Four solid stars.
