Book Review - By Jove by Marissa Doyle






My Thoughts

Theo is excited to further her degree in Latin to be able to teach others who are passionate about learning it rather that kids who are required to take it. She meets Julian who is head of the department and isn't quite sure about him. Then she meets Grant and everything changes. There is just something different about the Classical Language and History Department and Theo is in for quite the adventure.

I loved this story. I don't want to ruin the surprises for anyone who hasn't read it yet, so I will just say that there is everything in the story - love, revenge, and redemption. All the makings of a fantastic story from mythology.

I give By Jove 4 hearts!

About the Book

For Theodora Fairchild, graduate school is a dream. The professors are fighting over her, she gets to study Latin and explore her knowledge of Greek gods with others who share her passion…and she meets Grant Proctor. He's as shy as she is, and oh so handsome.

As she gives in to her feelings for the man who's stolen her heart, someone seems determined to keep them apart—no matter the consequences. There are evil forces at work, and they have plans for Theo that don’t include Grant. When Grant disappears, surviving the semester becomes the least of Theo’s worries. Her knowledge of ancient mythology may be her best weapon, and relying on her wits and wisdom may be the only thing to help her save her true love.
