In <i>Goddess of the Sea</i>, the chick switches bodies with a mermaid, Undine, and I think it's more of a medieval setting, b/c there's the whole Catholic church vs paganism element in it. <i>Goddess of Spring</i> is about the Hades/Persephone myth and the modern woman switches bodies with Persephone and goes to the underworld, etc. This one is one of my favorites. <i>Goddess of the Rose</i> is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast and the woman is a descendant of Hecate's high priestess. She's transported to the Realm of the Rose (Hecate's realm) and helps bring the place back to life, along with the guardian beast. It's also a favorite. <i>Goddess of Love</i> Is set in modern day and I don't think there are any body switches with the heroine. She gets help from Venus to look and feel beautiful and to be confident etc, like a goddess basically, and she ends up falling in love with Hephaestus, who disguises himself as a fire fighter, or something. Venus falls for a human fire fighter and in the end, Hephaestus and the human dude switch bodies. This one isn't a favorite, but it's a good read. And the only other book that I don't have is <i>Goddess of Light</i>, which has to do with Apollo and Artemis, and I think it's set in Vegas. Most of the time they follow that formula.

I have the first book in this series, but I haven't had a chance to read it yet. Does the whole series follow the "modern women transported back to ancient Greece" formula? Good review.
