Stay with Me by Alisha Steele

Girls, watch out for Masquerade Volume 1. This book has fabulous authors that make the mythical Greek gods come to life in oh so many ways. My favorite was Water Lily by Jamie Hill. What sparked my interest was that Lillian was your average woman dreaming of something more than what her life has been so far. Each heroine in this book is looking for the same thing, to have someone love them. I cannot wait for more from Aphrodite’s Apples. The authors have created such beautiful stories and men to complete each heroine in this beautiful book in every way. I loved that each author was able to bring a wish or fantasy to life and make a good memory for the heroines. Great job to all the authors in Masquerade Volume 1.
