I loved this book. The laughter and the love. great!
Zeus, father of the Gods has prepared a treat for his children. He has decided to open a portal into the modern world of Las Vegas for his children to play in and enjoy on the weekends, much to the dismay of his child Bacchus who has ruled that particular realm single-handedly for the past few eons.
Artemis, Goddess of The Hunt and Moon talks her brother Apollo into a weekend of fun in Las Vegas and together the twins of night and day head out to wreak havoc on Sin City. Bacchus however, still angry at the disrespect the other Gods and Goddess are showing his realm invokes an ancient ritual that unfortunately falls on Pamela…
Pamela, a modern mortal woman who is visiting Las Vegas on a work trip suddenly finds herself bound Artemis after accidentally spilling wine, pricking her finger, and whispering her secret wish: for romance to come back into her life. Strangely drawn to her Apollo soon finds himself falling in love with Pamela and must somehow face the fact that he cannot pretend to be a mortal forever. He must tell her the truth and accept her decision; after all he could never be a soul mate with a mortal…right?
Despite the seemingly cheesy theme, “The Goddess of Light” was exceptionally good! I was more than pleasantly surprised. I’ve always been a P.C. Cast fan, but after reading “Goddess of the Sea,” I didn’t have high hopes for “Goddess of Light.” Boy was I wrong!
While “Goddess of Light” had the same sort of fantastical and seemingly crazy mystical theme that “Goddess of the Sea” had, it was less…cartoonish? For lack of a better word? The characters had more depth to them than in Cast’s first book in the series and I definitely related with Pamela more than the characters in “Goddess of the Sea.”
I love Cast’s lighthearted approach to romance novels. Yes, there are great sex scenes, but they are always brief, tasteful, and add to the plot of the story as opposed to becoming the purpose for writing the book. Cast has a wonderful sense of humor that she conveys well into her writing and into her characters.
Cast always delivers. Though her writing is predictable, it’s a comfortable sort of predictable that is probably the reason I keep reaching time and time again for her books. These are the sort of things you need to keep in mind when reaching for one of her books. If you start one with unrealistic expectations of epic battles and dragons you will be sorely disappointed. On the flipside, for those of us who appreciate a well written romance and a good fantasy, Cast will never disappoint.
Four Stars.

Another beautiful love story about soul mates by PC Cast! I truly enjoy how she weaves tales about gods/goddesses. Highly recommended.
Pamela whispers her wish for a god-like man, never expecting to find one--especially not in Vegas. But the goddess Artemis has dared her twin handsome brother Apollo to change all that and change it he will. Who says you can't mix business with pleasure.
My first of her Goddess series, and I really like it. Can't wait to read the rest.
Interesting combination of romance and Greek mythology
Loved this book! P.C. Cast is a great author and all her books are fabulous!
Second in the Goddess romance series. Twins Artemus and Apollo have been sent to the kingdom of Las Vegas. The last thing Artemis expected was to be obliged to a mortal through a heartfelt wish- and she demands her brother make that wish a reality. But Apollo is not prepared for this mortal spitfire in stilettos. He in the end helps her let go of her fears and love again. A very funny and delightful novel.
