Book Review: Spartan Heart Part 1 By Kristine Cheney

*I hate spoilers in a review and therefore will only include the blurb for this book and refrain from giving away anything else for the benefit of those who may still have this on their TBR piles.*

Spartan Heart Part 1
Kristine Cheney 

SPARTAN HEART: LOSING IT ALL PLACES YOU IN A POSITION TO GAIN EVERYTHING.  
TIME MEANS NOTHING WHEN THE ONE DESTINED TO LOVE YOUR HEART HAS WAITED CENTURIES 
 
Sent away to college in America, Evangeline swore she would never return to England. Anger loses its value when tragedy forces her home to assume ownership of the family's beloved Greco-Roman museum.
Placing a foolish, drunken kiss on a Greek statue in the museum's basement, Evangeline unknowingly frees a Spartan prince from an evil oracle's curse. Suddenly, her lonely life is invaded by the rakish man with knowing emerald green eyes who never eats or sleeps, and seems to know her every thought and feeling.

Falling in love is dangerous, especially when it's with a man who has already been claimed by the bitter oracle Demona. From the moment of her kiss, Evangeline is swept into Dorien's world of mystery, danger, and passion. The Oracle's fury only mounts as they unravel Demona's darkest secrets, but not before Demona finds out about their unborn half-breed immortal twins.

Demona uses her knowledge of the future to manipulate, but sometimes love has a will, and a heart...of its own.

MY THOUGHTS

I won an e-copy of this book on a facebook page run by the author Kristine Cheney. You can check it out here

I read the blurb for this book and truly fell in love with the storyline, that's the power of a great back cover I guess. 
The story itself was very nice. Well rounded, fully formed characters, that were full of emotion and back bone. 
I did find the story to be a little disjointed at the beginning and felt it lacked flow, but around the half way point it sorted itself out and I couldn't put it down. In fact by the time I got to the end I was yelling 'NO' at the computer screen!
I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!!!
Spartan Heart Part 2 is scheduled for release on April 5 2011 and I for one will definitely be getting a copy.


So for me, a bumpy start but an awesome read nether-the-less
A healthy 4 out of 5
