Frida McKenzie just wants to live a nice, normal life with her boyfriend Dan. Trouble is, as the descendent of Eros, and the Delphic Oracle respectively, this happy couple are anything but normal. So when an anti-love cult begins to sweep the city, it's down to Frida and Dan to discover the deadly intentions of The Love Delusion's handsome and charismatic leader, R A Stone.

But at least they have each other, right?

Wrong.

Because as Frida gets deeper into this ancient grudge match, the cost of her destiny becomes clear, and the role of a hero doesn't come with a happily ever after...

    5.0 out of 5 stars Urban fantasy with mythological roots and a strong MC, stuffed with self-doubt and sarcasm!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2019
    *I received a free copy of this book with thanks to the author and Rachel Gilbey at Rachel’s Random Resources blog tours. The decision to review and my opinions are my own.*

    I started my book blog to shout about books that I love. Today is a very good day to be a book blogger! Today The Love Delusion launches and oh my gods and goddesses I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!

    We are back with Frida and Dan, so I thoroughly recommend that you read The Gods of Love first – it sets the world and characters up and is also awesome, so why wouldn’t you?!

    That said, this is not the Frida and Dan that we knew and loved. From the very beginning we are plunged back into another world-saving adventure, but the bad guys got to out heroes before we could properly catch up with them, and now they are… changed.

    One of the many things I love about Nicola Mostyn’s stories is how very real Frida feels. We, the reader, know from the very start that she is an unreliable narrator due to circumstances, but she is the one telling the story and she is (almost) fully committed to her version of events. It is simultaneously frustrating and exciting, and I fizzled with nervous adrenaline through the entire book.

    The story returns to the battle between the gods – specifically Anteros and Eros/Zeus – and our poor oracle and love lawyer are pawns on the playing board. Except that they aren’t good as doing what they are told, or what is expected of them, or even understanding any of the above in the first place. While the concepts of love and not-love duke it out, Frida has to face some nasty truths about herself and about the strength of faith… for good and for bad.

    If you enjoy urban fantasy adventures with mythological roots, that have a strong female lead stuffed with self-doubt and sarcasm, then look no further. My only complaint is that this is the LAST BOOK! It is a duology, not a sprawling epic multi-series. How can the author do this to us?! Still… I can’t wait to see what she writes next.

    Now go and BUY THIS BOOK!!! It won’t change your life, but it’s a rollercoaster of a read and so funny!

    We’ve been on the road for ten minutes when I get a bad feeling, an uneasy prickling on the back of my neck. It could just be a reaction to my new pineapple-scented suntan lotion or maybe even a simple case of abject paranoia, but a) I’ve never been the sensitive type and b) if these last few months have taught me anything, it’s that things aren’t ever as awful as they seem – they’re always so much f***ing worse.

    – Nicola Mostyn, The Love Delusion

    4.0 out of 5 stars I love how different this book is to anything I’ve read before.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2019
    The Love Delusion is the second book in a series by author Nicola Mostyn, the first book being ‘The Gods of Love’. Unfortunately I haven’t read book one and to be honest I didn’t even know it existed until I was partway through this book. However, I can honestly say that this book worked fine as a standalone.

    The plot begins with Frida and her boyfriend Dan being chased in a car. They are nearly at their ‘safe zone’ when they are caught. They both commit to finding each other in the future. Why they have been tracked and by whom are not revealed at this time.

    The story then moves forward two years where both of the characters have had their memories of their past lives removed. Freida is a divorce lawyer working for ‘The Love Delusion’ a movement that is about protecting the rights of single people. They convince people that love is a myth and that to have a truly happy life you need to be single.

    Dan is a protester against the movement who confronts Freida about her involvement. The two feel some sort of connection but can’t understand why. That is until Freida finds a photo of herself and Dan having a picnic years earlier. She also finds a bottle of liquid with a note telling her not to tell Dan about it.

    Freida travels to Dan’s flat to confront him about the photo. She believes it’s been mocked up to discredit her and have her removed from the movement but when more evidence comes to light the pair have to realise that something far more sinister might be at play, but what?

    The Love Delusion is a full-on action-packed book right from the first page. I was intrigued enough to want to know who these two people were are why were they being chased and kidnapped.

    The whole plot featuring immortals, some good, some evil and is exceptionally well constructed. I’ll be honest that when it comes to Gods I know them by name but what they did and what powers they had were never something I’ve really had an interested in, so when I realised that the book featured these immortals my heart sank a little and I wondered how much enjoyment I was going to get from the rest of the book. I need not of worried though.

    I love how different this book is to anything I’ve read before. The characters were all intriguing and I especially enjoyed getting to know kick-ass Psyche. Freida and Dan were both easy to like and enjoy their company too.

    Personally whilst this book works as a standalone I would suggest reading ‘The Gods of Love’ first so that you get the whole backstory. Plus, what could be better than having one amazing book to read, but two amazing books – I am assuming that book one is as fabulous as this one.

    4.0 out of 5 stars blend of Greek Gods, adventure and a bit of humor
    Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2019
    I enjoyed The Love Delusion. It was a fun blend of Greek Gods, adventure and a bit of humor. It has an interesting plot that intrigued me from the beginning. It took me a little while to fully immerse myself into the story, but once I knew the characters, I was all in.

    I love the action in this story. There were quite a bit of twits and turns and it moved the plot forward, keeping me fully entertained. Nicola Mostyn’s writing is wonderful. She has a way of captivating her readers with witty characters and fabulous action.

    Overall, I enjoyed The Love Delusion and look forward to reading more from Nicola Mostyn. A unique tale of Greek Gods which was a lot of fun to read. Definitely recommended!

    Strap yourself in for a wild ride on this funny and fast-paced romantic urban fantasy adventure! I have to applaud Nicola Mostyn on the imagination required to concoct The Love Delusion. It's utterly unique and yet draws on so many themes from myths and modern culture. Very clever. This and The first bill in the duology, The Gods of Love, deserve to be bestsellers, in my humble opinion.

    Utterly mad sequel to the excellent Gods Of Love. Frida and Dan go to even greater lengths to stop Anteros in a shockingly believeable plot of epic proportions. Loved it.

    I think I liked this just as much as the first one, and I actually loved the re-introduction to Dan, but I didn't really like Anterist-Frida. I know it's the point that she's super cynical, she's been manipulated and she's lost something important to her only she doesn't remember what. But we had Frida being introduced to the magical world and not really believing any of it was real and being super cynical in the first book and I didn't think we needed all of that again - it just felt quite repetitive - though when she did regain her memories it got better from there. Frida knows she hasn't been a great friend and she wants to fix that. I liked that Dan and Frida had kind of swapped places compared to the first book, that was interesting and I am still a fan of their relationship
    This second book also surprised me more than the first one, it was less predictable and I appreciated that, plus I grew to really like Psyche - she was great.
    Overall The Love Delusion was a satisfying end to the duology, another fun and fast book that I'm happy to have picked up.
