Zeus, king of the gods, isn't given towards showing favoritism, even towards his own children. Consequently, when three of the Muses, his daughters, fail their hundred-year performance review, he gives them one chance to make up for their failures. For Chloe, the Muse of Happiness, the task is this: spend a year on earth making mortals happy. If she succeeds, she will be richly rewarded with an immortal life of unending luxury. If she fails, she'll be banished to spend life as a mortal on earth, with the accompanying brief life span and human travails. There is a catch, however - she can dally with mortal men all she wishes, but falling in love with one is strictly forbidden. Not a problem as far as Chloe is concerned. That is, until she meets the handsome Dr. Matthew Castleberry... I am just going to give it to you straight - although the plot of One Night With a Goddess sounded interesting enough, this is not the kind of book I usually buy. Why did I read it? Well, it was offered to Kwips for review, and since it sounded fairly enjoyable, I requested it. Boy, did I ever underestimate Judi McCoy! This is the first time I have read this author's work, and it will not be my last. Not only was One Night With a Goddess thoroughly enjoyable, but I found myself captivated by both the plot and the characters! McCoy weaves a wonderful little contemporary romance with just a touch of myth and magic in the mix. Truly, I didn't put this book down until I finished reading it. Despite the fact that Chloe is a mythological goddess, her character was as tangible as her human hero, Matthew. And despite her position as the Muse of Happiness, it soon becomes apparent that she has never really experienced true happiness for herself - until she met the handsome doctor. It is her love for him that teaches her there are many more important things than luxury and power. Judi McCoy has written books that connect to One Night With a Goddess, and I don't mind telling you they have made their way to my wishlist! If you are looking for a light-hearted romance with a great mix of humor and love, then this is the book for you! Connected Stories: Almost a Goddess

One more night, please!

Judi's books are always a pleasure! Chloe is fun and spunky- a goddess with faults we could all relate to. Pick up One Night With a Goddess, and spend a day at the beach or by the pool in pleasure. Thanks, Judi. Aleka Nakis

One Night With A Goddess...

I won't go into all the story details since other reviewers have already done so, but One Night With A Goddess, which is the second book in Judi McCoy's Goddess series, was wonderful. This book has one of those light-hearted, easy to read, yet satisfying stories that are good for days when you're feeling a little skeptical about love. It's earned a permanent place on my shelf since I'll now use it as one of my "cheer me up" books... something I'll go back to and read again when I want to read a story that'll make me feel happy and hopeful about love. btw- Earning a place on my bookshelf is not an easy task. I usually end up trading in most of my romance books for new ones. I also recommend the first book in the series-- Almost a Goddess.

WONDERFUL WONDERFUL

ANOTHER FABULOUS BOOK by JUDI McCOY! I loved this one just as much if not more than all of her others! This is the goddess books at its finest- a must read for fans and anyone who loves whimsical romance! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Another Excellent Book from Judi McCoy!

Zeus is back with his cast of stars-The Muses- in this delightful book from author, Judi McCoy! I highly recommend this book as well as all the previous books written by this author. None of them have been a disappointment! They are the ultimate in contemporary romance. Wasn't too crazy about the cover art on this one, but don't let it dissaude you from buying it! This would be a great summer read while at the beach!
