Thirteen Nights
by Sabrina Garie

Blurb:
Annie’s always been different. An empathic Amazon, she hides her emotional anomaly beneath her legendary fighting skills. To avoid passing on her genetic disorder, she’s always avoided the Thirteen Nights Ritual—the annual breeding rite among the warrior races of the Greek Pantheon. Only months away from 30, she is now duty-bound to participate. When she meets Tai, a half-human warrior who revs her up beyond legal limits and nurtures the gentleness she’s had to keep secret, thirteen nights of pleasure don’t seem nearly enough.

As a half human, Tai has survived by being faster, more lethal, and a whole lot smarter than his brethren. While the male warriors accept him for his achievements, the Amazons have never given him a second look. Until he meets Annie, whose smile is warm and real and whose body shudders with desire—for him. Determined to have her, he hacks into the Thirteen Nights database and rearranges the pairings to make Annie his breeding partner. Together, their strength and tenderness combust into pure love.

But Tai’s actions are forbidden under Amazon law, subject to a death. To stay together and alive, they must take on the Greek Pantheon and win.

Diana’s Review:
I am giving an honest review for receiving a free copy of Thirteen Nights to read and review.

I enjoyed the overall story here.  The mating procedures of the Amazon and Gargarean Warriors is rigid and just wrong in my mind.   But Tai and Annie are considered “game changers” and they definitely set out to change the mating rules for all the supernaturals.  I just don’t like the Greek Pantheon in any of the books I have read.  So I am glad for the ending.

I thought there was not enough conflict preventing the couple from succeeding and the ending was too neatly tied up and too HEA too quickly.   Don’t get me wrong, I did like reading this story but it did not slay me like some others have.  I  still think rating of 3 is good and true rating.   I would like to see more come of this storyline and will read the next book if there is one.
