What a wonderful small house. Everything was as described by host and we had wonderful family vacations. Thanks for allowing us to stay at your place! The pool and the resort square was within walking distance from the house.

The only issue was the noise from the fridge and at times the noise from the road. We were very much looking forward to our stay given the 5 star reviews that had previously been written about Jays place. Unfortunately we were disappointed in our experience. There were many spiders and cockroaches also. I killed about 12 spiders in my initial clean of the apartment.

We were killing spiders and cockroaches daily. The couple who manage the property were not aware of our arrival. They were very helpful however once we called. They were very prompt in coming to the apartment to sort out the many issues we had upon our arrival - the upstairs toilet did not work and we were not sure how fresh the sheets were on the beds - the state of the house really made us question everything!

If you like a hard bed and pillows then you will like this bed. We unfortunately found it uncomfortable. The complex is within lovely surroundings and we made good use of the pool. The bakery down the road does great coffee! The whole Aphrodite Hills area however is in the direct flight path for the Paphos airport, there must be at least 10 daily flights with a cluster of about 5 flights between 7pm-9pm. Which was ideal for us. Thanks for everything Jay. Jay was a perfect host and answered all our queries very promptly!

They house is amazingly located, walking distance to the village and hotel facilities. With a young toddler it makes a difference!

May 22, Anna rated it it was amazing. Choices Reading different versions of the God's and Goddesses I think this version is the best that I have read in a long time. In a slight way it tells to me that we all have choices and the choice that we make we need to realize that what we have chosen could go either way. In Aphrodite's Choice she made decisions based on whether the person agreed or not and she always followed the rules even though she wanted things differently. This book by Christy English is different from her other books b Choices Reading different versions of the God's and Goddesses I think this version is the best that I have read in a long time.

This book by Christy English is different from her other books but just as wonderful I was totally glued as I read each page I felt like I was there with Addy when she was happy, sad, angry and even when she was so heartbroken Christy brought Addy, Steve,, her sisters and brothers too life so much that you are feeling everything that is going on. I hope Christy writes more of the Goddess Diaries for I fell in love with her description of Addy's sisters and would love to read their choices If anything this book will have you guessing all wrong on the Brotherhood of this time period for when I thought I had the answer Christy got me Sep 01, Stephanie rated it it was amazing Shelves: Aphrodite has walked the Earth for years.

Through Egypt, Crete, Kyrios, Paris, she has been known by many names. She was placed on Earth to serve the Mother by spreading the blessing. By sleeping with different men, Aphrodite is able to heal them, however, the men always forget about her in the morning.

Throughout time Aphrodite has met several men who she has felt that she truly loved, but she is unable to continue a relationship due to the nature of her blessing. Also, throughout time Aph Aphrodite has walked the Earth for years. Also, throughout time Aphrodite and her sisters have been hunted by those who believe that her blessing is witchcraft, calling themselves the Brotherhood of Light. Now, in Boston Aphrodite, who goes by Addy, is being hunted by the newest member of the Brotherhood, Steve.

Steve is being threatened by the Brotherhood that if he does not kills Addy his family will be destroyed. Only Steve does not see any evil or malice in Addy, he sees something deeper, something that goes back thousands of years. I absolutely loved the idea of the Gods and Goddesses still roaming the Earth completing their missions. For her, sex truly is power, the power to heal; and she has healed countless times over her years. However, the Goddess of love can never truly love since the men will forget her after they are intimate; and, of course this is the one thing that Aphrodite wants the most.

Adventure, suspense and intrigue kicks in full gear as Steve and the Brotherhood are introduced. I knew there was something special about Steve right away, but I could have never guessed the connection that he and Aphrodite share. This book was received for free in return for an honest review. Sep 01, Kimberly rated it really liked it. I have been a fan of Christy English for several years now, and one of my favorite things about her novels is the seamless way that she is able to weave historical fact and fiction into her stories. As Aphrodite has been around for 9, years, her story covers I have been a fan of Christy English for several years now, and one of my favorite things about her novels is the seamless way that she is able to weave historical fact and fiction into her stories.

As Aphrodite has been around for 9, years, her story covers many different periods of history, as well as fascinating places like Versailles, Corinth, Cyprus, etc. Despite being the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite has somehow avoided truly falling in love during her many, many interactions with members of the opposite sex. That is, until she meets Steven Wharton, who is a danger to more than just her heart. Aphrodite who goes by Addy in modern times is faced with the daunting task of not only keeping herself safe from those who want to destroy her, but also to protect her sisters.

This novel is full of drama and intrigue, and the author does a great job of creating romance and passion, without it coming across as a tacky bodice-ripper. Paranormal romance is definitely not a genre I would normally read, but I wanted to give it a chance after I discovered that Christy English was the author. There was enough of a historical aspect added to the novel to keep my interest, so in the end I was happy that I gave it a chance.

Aug 17, Margaret rated it really liked it Shelves: Sometimes it is good to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. I love a good mystery and historical fiction is my favorite however simple put, my main reason for reading Aphrodite's Choice was the author. I've seen her name popping up numerous times online an Sometimes it is good to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. I've seen her name popping up numerous times online and even have a number of her books patiently sitting in my TBR pile.

So I couldn't pass this opportunity up. I find mythology interesting but my knowledge isn't that vast but I know enough to get by. This book peeked my interest to learn more about this ancient period in history. I found the premise for Aphrodite's Choice to be unique, grabbing my attention right away and kept me glued to my kindle.

Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, but can she truly find love herself? The author used real historical events as the backdrop, taking me back in time, getting to know Aphrodite along the way. As the story unfolded I found myself reading faster as the action sped up, suffice to say it wasn't hard to get lost in this story. I loved the author's writing style, she creates enough mystery and suspense that kept me guessing and then surprised me with the ending. Definitely a book and author I recommend. This is book one in the Goddess Diaries Series and I am anxious to see what takes place in book two.

Mar 26, Angelc rated it liked it Shelves: This book was pretty good, I liked the hero a lot, but the plot was only ok. Marcus was very sweet and didn't hide the fact that he was in love with Portia, unlike the typical rake found in a lot of historical romances. I found myself skimming a lot of the murder plot portions of the book.

I would have liked it if she made more of the fact that she was infatuated with him from afar when they were younger. Apr 01, Kim rated it it was ok Shelves: I liked the hero and heroine in this, but I never quite managed to understand why the conflict was Jul 08, Draven rated it did not like it. For two people having an illicit, scandalous affair, they sure lacked the requisite heat. Codependent and simpering, it had everything I hate in a romance novel, not to mention all the liberties Bennett took with historical fact regarding Queen Victoria.

Did not enjoy a single aspect of Portia and Marcus' story. This is a bottom of the sale bin book for me. Jul 31, Diana rated it did not like it. The plot was thin and overwrought. Skimmed through all of it. I'm surprised I didn't throw this against the wall. Sep 22, Yolanda rated it really liked it Shelves: What can I say.
