Dark Restraint by Katee Robert is a seductive addition to the Dark Olympus series, masterfully blending dark fantasy romance with fierce emotional intensity. In this edgy retelling, Robert explores themes of power, possession, and forbidden longing in the glittering yet dangerous world of Olympus. Ideal for readers who crave morally gray characters, enemies-to-lovers heat, and mythological intrigue, Dark Restraint delivers a ride that’s both wickedly delicious and emotionally gutting.

Ariadne Vitalis has made a dangerous mistake—and now her only salvation is through a forced political marriage to the cunning Dionysus. Yet despite this calculated alliance, her heart and fear remain tangled in one man’s grasp: the Minotaur. Brutal, loyal, and terrifyingly obsessed, he’s the monster Ariadne was never meant to love… but also the only one who has ever truly claimed her.

Their history is steeped in betrayal and fire. She's vowed never to forgive him, and he’s incapable of change. But the magnetic pull between them refuses to fade. When Ariadne’s world begins to crumble and the lines between pain and pleasure blur, the question becomes: will she choose safety—or surrender to the dark desire that could consume them both?

With a perfect balance of myth-inspired worldbuilding and emotionally raw intimacy, Dark Restraint will leave you breathless—and maybe a little scorched.
