Alternate cover edition for ASIN B07W3X7YR9 A spunky florist and a cold-hearted Lord of the Dead? Its a match made in the underworld! Autumn Rankin is a florist first and foremost. Her speciality is in making a rose bear in under twenty minutes or pulling together a bouquet that says I'm sorry I screwed your best friend. But when she meets Hades at the funeral parlour, she discovers a hidden talent: convincing a dead soul it's his time to go to the afterlife. Apparently souls are wandering the Land of the Living, and Hades, stiff, cold and guarded as he is, needs her natural charm and charisma to corral them to the underworld. But the Lord of Dead is hiding something. Secrets. And she's determined to find out what, even if it destroys her. Hades, old Lord of the Underworld, is losing his touch. Stubborn souls no longer heed his call for their final resting place. When he meets Autumn, he detects a power he has not seen in hundreds of years. The touch of spring he needs to chase away the winter consuming his realm, and maybe even melt his frosty heart. And with the Goddess awakening in her, he's not going to let her go this time. Lady of the Underworld is Book 1 in the Operation Hades series, a steamy paranormal romance with a dark, brooding and sexy Greek god, godly avatars, and loads of flower puns.

I’ve a thing for Hades/Persephone twists and retellings, so I read these quite a bit. That said, this is one that stands out and is sure to stand with me. I loved this spin and the way it integrated with the ‘real’ world so perfectly. It was fun, intriguing, heart-wrenching at times, funny at others, packed in bits of action and steam and OH THE WORLDBUILDING!
I enjoyed getting lost in this one and absolutely had to start the next book, ‘Lord of the Underworld’ straight away.
4 stars.
