Aphrodite's Girdle is missing, and Hale knows the artifact will take all his superpowers to retrieve. The mortal who's found and donned it is one Tracy Tannin, the descendent of a goddess of the silver screen who wasn't exactly popular before the belt. Now everyone wants her. But the golden girdle can only be recovered through honest means, which means there is no chance for Hale to simply become invisible and whisk it away. (Although, watching Tracy, he finds himself imagining other garments he'd like to remove.) Maybe he should convince her she is as desirable as he sees her. Only then will she realize she is worth loving no matter what she is wearing or what she isn't.

A romance book about superheros could have been really predictable and lame but after reading the first book in this series I couldn't wait to get my hands on Aphrodite's Passion! Hale is basically a guy with super powers who is descended from Aphrodite and has "issues" with mortals ... he's happy to take them into his bed but he doesn't consider them suitable for a long term commitment. When he has no choice but to get close and personal with animal trainer Tracy Tannin he tries his best not to fall for her. Although Tracy is the grand daughter of a famous Hollywood legend she's basically a normal young woman who finds herself suddenly irresistible to men when she wears her grandmothers gold belt. The belt is far more than it seems and is a long lost artifact which the superheros need to stop the end of the mortal world.

I love books by Julie Kenner, fun light reads with good characters and a story worth reading to find out what happens! This book is part of the Aphrodite series but easily stands alone. A great book to relax with, on the beach or the bus commute!

engaging metaphysical romantic suspense
7 April 2002

- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Protector Hale looks at mortals with disdain except for his half-sister Zoe, who he rationalizes has some real blood flowing in her veins to overcome her tainted side. Hale is assigned to obtain Aphrodite's Girdle, a magical artifact that has been missing for years has suddenly surfaced. If Hieronymous the outcast former Protector gains the belt, he might control the world.
Mortal Tracy Tannin wears the belt though she has no idea what she is wearing. All she knows is that she, a plain Jane, now has males chasing after her. Hale knows he must not use his powers to acquire the belt, so he plans to seduce her into giving it to him. However, to his chagrin he finds himself wanting Tracy and not just for a one-night stand even if he rationalizes that the Girdle is doing this to him.
The sequel to APHRODITE'S KISS, APHRODITE'S PASSION, is an engaging metaphysical romantic suspense. Readers will gain immense pleasure from the amusing plot. The lead characters are a delight as both share love and denial. Hale refuses to accept he could ever love a creature so beneath him like his mortal beloved and Tracy cannot believe that she could capture the heart of this God-like hunk without donning the belt. The story line is amusing though the intrigue elements seem more of a diversion. The return of the cast from the previous novel adds to the fun and hopefully leads to a certain cousin starring in Julie Kenner's next Aphrodite's tale.

Wonderful, Funny Escape

I'm pretty picky when it comes to actually buying a book. That's why I love Amazon so much... the readers' and critics' reviews are invaluable. So I surprised myself when I grabbed this book off the display in front of the register in a bookstore and bought it after reading only the synopsis.
What a wonderful surprise!!
The Julie Kenner has an acute sense of humor and weaves a story full of fun, adventure and romance. The tongue in cheek writing is about a real superhero (actually a decendent of the Greek "gods" and protector of mortals) who's "cover" is to be a romance novel cover model, and who falls hard for a mortal. Tracy, the mortal he falls for just can't figure out why everything in the romance department was going horrendeously wrong and suddenly is now going in the exact opposite direction (and with more than just Hale, the superhero).
My only regret is that I didn't realize that this is the sequel to "Aphrodite's Kiss." There are some spoilers in Aphrodite's Passion with regard to the first book.

Surprisingly good.

I've read a couple of reviews that already give the gist of the story so I'll just give my opinion. I found Aphrodite's Passion so much better than Aphrodite's Kiss, the prequel. This is one of the few books that the heroine isn't an idiot. Which is a rare find these days. However, the hero, Hale, isn't my favorite type, hence the 4 star rating. I can't write what my problem with him is unless I give away too much so let's just say he's a really good hero but not great:)
If you're bored with the same old thing, I recommend buying this book.
