The goddess Venus has set her roving eye on Sancus, the god of law and contracts, but when he tells her he's just not that into her, Venus is humiliated and angry. She asks her son Cupid to put a love curse on Sancus as revenge.

Sancus, who was thinking of settling down with the muse Terpsichore, is horrified when he can't perform in bed. He seeks advice from Bacchus, who suggests going to a lap-dance club, but Sancus is shocked when it's not the women who arouse him but the sexy man behind the bar! Soon Sancus is exploring his newfound sexuality, even though he's utterly confused by it. When he meets gorgeous tavern-owner Aurelio, he wishes he could lift the curse and enjoy being with this sexy human-but when Sancus visits Venus to demand the end of the curse, Cupid reveals a surprising twist...

I giggled from beginning to end of Venus Envy. Not only is the title hilarious, the rest of the story is a riot of sexy fun. I especially liked Venus's bitchy personality and the casual way Cupid acts around his mother. Sancus starts off a bit serious and sensible, so it's fun to see him go into meltdown over his new gay personality, and the romance with Aurelio was sweet and sizzling. The ending was especially cute. Venus Envy is a really fun read guaranteed to make you smile.
