#34 Cruel Seduction byKatee Robert, Alex Moorcock (Narrator) , Zara Hampton-Brown (Narrator)

The fifth book in the Olympus series moves the PoV to Aphrodite and the new Hephaestus.  The arranged marriage between them has lots of sparks but no love between them.  The new Hephaestus is still working with his father and brother to topple the power structure of the thirteen from the inside.  As usual there are sparks between them and it ruins both their plans and everyone else’s plans for them.  Lots of smolder between them and others in the book. The audio was great and read by the same narrators as before and alternates between the two main PoV characters.
