Hearts Desire: mythology, drama and romance

Hearts Desire by Andra Dill is a Nine Muse novella. Terpsichore, the muse of lyric poetry and dancing, lives as an immortal among mortals. When Zeus, her father, wakes up after being asleep for a millennium or two, he is furious to learn that Terpsichore has abandoned her role as muse. Going by the name, Bliss, she decides to wait out her father’s wrath and reconnect with her many, many times great granddaughter, Calla, at her dance studio in the MidWest. As the students’ parents demand a recital. What was supposed to be a simple recital turns into a full-scale production which catches the attention of one god Bliss was hoping to avoid. To complicate matters, Bliss’ former lover shows up. Will she risk her heart again? Will she be able to placate her father? 

Hearts Desire is a novella that packs a punch with mythology, drama and romance. I was somewhat familiar with the Greek muses; however,  I did have to stop and google names as they came up to remind myself who they were. As a fan of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson series, I loved the Hearts Desire adult take on the Greek gods in the mortal world. There were two romances at play in this story. Bliss and the gorgeous Nicco, someone she hoped to never see again. And Calla and Matthew, the handsome widowed father of one of her students. The story was fast paced with nice twists and a satisfying ending. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Hearts Desire. This novella is short, sweet and easily enjoyable for an afternoon of reading. I recommend Hearts Desire.
