In Adonis by Asenia Brummet, when Landi finds a demi-god in the back of her truck, beaten to a pulp with a stomach wound that could kill him, she should have done the reasonable thing and called the police. Sheer compassion drives her to pull him into her house with the help of her doctor friend. There are only three rules: He must let her treat him until he is strong enough. He is not to mention his real name or what he does—he will go by Adonis. And when he finally leaves, he must not bring any trouble from his life back into hers. Tyr doesn’t understand the kind nurse tending to him. She is naïve and selfless, yet stubborn, and the more time they spend together, the more Tyr realizes how lonely she is beneath her cheerful façade. As he falls for her, it is clear there is no place for her in his fast-paced, secret life as a spy, and he has to choose before time runs out.
Adonis is a clean, fresh romance. While the physical attraction between Landi and Adonis is obvious, their relationship is rooted more in their emotional connection. Adonis becomes the loving presence, listening ear, and support Landi desperately needs. Landi herself is an enigma. How selfless can a woman be to fight relentlessly for justice, babysit her ex’s children, and care for a stranger—all while struggling to maintain two homes? The character development is well-executed. I enjoyed Landi's growth as she began to do what was best for her. Her friends, too, experience realistic growth throughout the story. Though there are mentions of rape and miscarriage, fans of wholesome romance will devour Adonis by Asenia Brummet.
