Come enter the world of Mythical Nights where all of your fantasies can come true. . .
For Cate Luna, her job as a museum curator has always come first and men a distant second--even if it means sacrificing her own carnal needs that only a good, hard man can fulfill. But, when she is mysteriously transported to the labyrinth of the legendary monster, the Minotaur who is part man, part beast, she discovers that it is possible to mix work and erotic pleasure.
The Minotaur’s Lover is the second novella in the Mythical Nights series in which, thanks to the Greek god Dionysus, women travel across time and space to fulfill their desires of the flesh with the supernatural hard bodies of ancient mythology.
Reviews
Lacy Loveday rewrites the myth of the Minotaur. The beast, supposedly slain by Theseus is alive and alone and he's not the bloodthirsty demon that the ancient texts paint him to be.
The prose was both sensual and raw just like the previous book.

The Minotaur's Lover
Cate’s mind was reeling. It would be impossible for string
to have lasted the thousands of years since the story of Theseus and the
Minotaur was first recorded. Her rational mind screamed that this was
impossible, yet, here it was. And now she was beginning to wonder if “Theseus
and the Minotaur” really was just a story. Maybe it was based on truth. And
maybe the Minotaur was real and still alive. Who knows what characteristics his
father, Poseidon’s bull, might have given him? In the mythological world, immortality
was not unusual.
For a moment, Cate felt like she might faint. Like the rest
of humanity, her perception of the world was built on a strong distinction
between hard, cold reality and fantasy. In part, the mythologies of the Greeks
and Romans helped early humans understand and interpret natural phenomena
around them, right? That was what she had been taught and had believed. She had
a doctorate in Classics and an MBA, for Christ’s sake.
Her mind slipped into its comfortable habit of analysis.
Perhaps this was just a miner’s cave and the string was used by the miners so
they wouldn’t get lost. OK, that was believable. But how had she gotten here?
That she could not explain. She decided to assume, for the moment, that the
magical stories of old myths were based on truth. Under that assumption there
was only one way to find out: follow the string.
Cate let her hand lightly trail along the string as she
moved blindly through the cavern. As she walked on bare feet, her expensive
shoes in her free hand, she thought about the Minotaur.
It seemed like she had known about him forever. As a child,
it was the Minotaur’s story that had stirred her imagination the most. She
supposed she had related to his isolation and repressed power, both of which
she had felt at different times, especially after her parents’ divorce. Her
skin shivered, both from cold and thoughts of him. The carnal part of her brain
had, long ago, dreamed up scenarios with him that still embarrassed and
titillated her. Unlike a human male, he would be unable to kiss her, but he
could still pleasure her. His tongue could still lick her pussy, his hands
could fondle her breasts, and his cock could fill her. Oh Lord, if his cock was
anything like the one illustrated in ancient art, it would be enormous.
Cate’s nipples tightened and tingled, and her pussy began to
ache. The darkness pressed around her as she made slow progress through the
tunnel. She felt like a mythical bride walking down the aisle to her groom. She
was so enraptured by her erotic visions, she hadn’t realized that there was a
distant light that was beginning to relieve the pitch black path. As she
continued to walk, the light grew brighter until she realized she could see the
gray walls of the tunnels and primitive sketches made along either side of the
walls. She saw images of soldiers with swords, frightening images of the
Minotaur, and the dead figures of Athenian youth.
She soon came upon the source of a light: a burning torch
that had been stuck inside a crack in the wall.
Who left this here? She wondered.
