Series: Marcus Didius Falco #5
Falco returns to Rome, gets mired in some old scheme of his dead brother’s, and is accused of a centurion’s murder. Shenanigans ensue.
Overall this was a fun read, although what happens with the Poseidon statue is a bit of a disappointment. I can’t say I approve of Falco’s rough interrogation techniques, however. Dealing with Falco’s extended family was amusing.
Atlantis Unleashed by Alyssa Day is the third story in the Warriors of Poseiden series and all I can say is…this is the best one yet!

MY REVIEW
The first chapter covers the end of Book II, Atlantis Awakening, so you could begin the series here, but you would have missed so much of the goodness, I recommend beginning with Book I, Atlantis Rising.
Ever since Keely had touched the wooden fish placed around her neck, she could see him…her blue haired warrior.
Who is she…the face Lord Justice keeps seeing?
I am lovin’ these fabulous love stories filled with magic and wonder. Each set of characters are unique in their own way, with secrets to be revealed. I love the feistiness of the female protagonists and their male warriors can TRY to control them all they want.
It was so funny when Brennan met Tiernan. Laughing through some very funny situations. I do like to enjoy my danger and torment.
He made the ultimate sacrifice and paid with unimaginable torture, now Lord Justice is back but his sanity is shaken and his mission inescapable. With ancient archaeological artifacts sharing visions of life long ago. Dr. Keely McDermott is cast into a world between past and present, between reality and illusion. As their two worlds collide, so too will danger and desire… as evil threatens to destroy them both.
The third book in the ‘Warriors of Poseidon’ series is a stunning, non-stop excitement read that holds readers in its thrall from beginning to end. These strong, brilliant character wow readers with their sizzling chemistry and their powerful auras with a sweet, emotionally gripping romance and zest for life that really speaks to the readers. The relationship is in no way simple in fact it is quite complicated as Lord Justice’s sanity is threatened by his splintered psyche.
The plot is fast paced and flows smoothly throughout with lots thrilling suspense, energetic and magical battles and surprising twists that get the adrenaline pumping, making it hard for readers to sit still but yet unable to takes their eyes from the pages. Oh, and let’s not forget the added amazement of the appearance of a god in all his spectacularly powerful glory. The vampires and shifter in this series continue to be evil, vile and spine chillingly deadly as they continue to plague the warriors and humans alike which gives readers a generous helping of bad of guys to wish horrible things upon, another words this romance invokes powerful emotions in readers and ensure that they have a very enjoyable reading experience.
This is the second time reading this one and I think that might have influenced my very slow read of it. Some parts were too slow and the duality of Justice was a bit weird. I love the series, but I think this is my least favorite in the series. He sacrificed himself to protect his brother Ven and Ven’s mate, in Atlantis Awakening and was Anubisa’s prisoner for months. When he finally gets free, he isn’t the same, his Neried half has come forth and now he has two voices in his head, his and the Neried's. Both Justice and Keely have had visions of each other, so when they set eyes on each other for the first time, Justice claims her immediately and she thinks he is crazy. There were no surprises and I guess that is what kept me putting it down instead of continuing to read it. It is also the end of the school year, so things are crazy. I love the series and I am enjoying re-reading them, but this one was a bit hard to keep up with. I do look forward to reading more and if you haven't read the series at all, please do so. It has stuck with me since I read it the first time and is one of my all time favorite series, which is why I am reading the whole series again. :-)

CALL TO REDEMPTION Excerpt:
The woman simply stared, those anime eyes assessing for a long moment before she smiled.
“So, Dominic? What do you recommend?”
He started to correct her. He was only Dominic to a few stubborn holdouts in his family. Everyone else had called him Nic since he was ten. But there was something about the way she said his name, the syllables rolling off her tongue, that stayed his words.
“Are you a fan of fluffy drinks?” he asked instead.
“Only inasmuch as I can now say I’ve had one,” she responded with a laugh.
“Then I recommend we get to know each other better over a real drink.”
“Define real.”
Nic’s smile widened. He leaned back in the chair and prepared to enjoy himself. As he did, he noted that the band was setting up. Within twenty minutes of tuning up, the lanai would be crowded with bodies boogying to the island beat.
“Real, as in not decorated with flowers. If you’re hungry, the food down here is good. Simple, upscale from the usual bar choices.” He tapped the menu she’d yet to check out. “I can recommend the taco platter. The chef has a way with pork and pineapple.”
“Mmm.” She drew one long finger over the menu but didn’t pull it closer or try to open it. “Any other recommendations?”
A few came to mind, but it seemed a little early in the evening to suggest naked dancing. Yeah. His gaze swept over her curves. He’d bet she’d look damn good at it.
But he had no clue if she could dance.
He should find that out, first.
That, and her name.
“The band is solid and you’ve got a good seat for the show. But if you were more interested in a quiet dinner watching the sun set over the ocean, you might want to try the third-floor restaurant.” He indicated the spiral staircase she’d descended earlier. “The view is worth the climb.”
“Is that a fact?”
“Yes, ma’am, it is. Call it my public service announcement for the evening.”
That teased a hint of a smile out of her. One she quickly hid by sipping her drink.
“Do you do that often? Serve the public and help them avoid overly loud dinners?”
“You could say I’ve made a career of it.”
“Do tell.” Her body language was subtly flirtatious, but even with those huge eyes locked on his face, he couldn’t read her well enough to know if that was a green light or a cautious yellow.
Nic didn’t brag about what he did, but he didn’t hide it, either. Simply put, there was nothing relaxing about talking about his work. Not right now. Not when just thinking about it felt like a blow to the chest, leaving him breathless and empty.
So he sidestepped.
“Let’s just say I’m gifted at seeing my way around any variety of obstacles while engineering the successful outcome that serves people of all walks of life.”
Check him, he thought, grinning. He could have a future in politics. Or with the Navy brass, which was sometimes the same thing.
“Well, that’s intriguingly vague,” she said with a laugh.
“Intriguing enough to tempt you to have dinner with me?”
Narrowing those eyes in a cautious way that made him want to know all of her secrets, she gave him a considering look before offering the smallest of shrugs.
“I’d hate to let your public service announcement go to waste. And this will give you time to tell me all about how you serve people with engineered outcomes.”
Instead of answering, he held out his hand to help her to her feet. As soon as her slender fingers were tucked in his, he changed the subject. Walking up the stairs to the restaurant, he shared the family story of how his uncle and father had collected every single shell that was embedded in the airy spiral staircase.
He wasn’t going to talk about his career.
He was on leave, and for the first time in his life, he was focusing on his wants. His needs. And right now, he needed to simply be a man.
One evening wouldn’t hurt, he told himself, ignoring the stabbing sense of disloyalty.
Not if that one evening brought him even an iota of solace against the pain.
