Chloe Degoddessa is the sexy Muse of Happiness, and she’s falling below her potential. Her father and boss, the all powerful Zeus, has given her one last chance: go to Earth and inspire as many mortals as she can before time runs out or be stuck mucking the stables to the end of forever. As a rather peculiar little twist Chloe has also been forbidden to fall in love. With little choice, Chloe is thrust into Chicago. Here, she takes on a job as a wedding planner and invited into her boss’ home with no references, ID, nada. Things are going great for Chloe until her boss’ grandson, Matthew Castleberry, returns home early from working with Doctors Without Borders in Africa. Chloe finds herself instantly attracted to the scared yet well built “Dr. Studly.” Enough so to question her desire to return home.

With a rather simple plot line and some corny word play, Judi McCoy’s One Night With A Goddess is a fun, quick read for a balmy afternoon. The fun secondary characters and the easy readability make up for McCoy’s bothersome abrupt point-of-view change and annoying overuse of the phrase “The dead zone”. But don’t let these little qualms keep you from reading Goddess. McCoy shows a lot of potential that I’m hopping will grow with her next book.
