BLURB:
You’d think being magically tethered to the hottest warden in all Verona wouldn’t be a hardship.
You’d be wrong.
Incubus Nico Azertiran has his dream job as a cherub-in-training. It’s the perfect position for a lust demon who’s more interested in happily-ever-afters than one-night stands. Or it would be, if he didn’t keep screwing it up. When a new cherub gadget misfires, Nico is left trussed to Verona’s most eligible warden, the incredibly grumpy, Sir Flame.
Flambeau Illume has a job to do. Someone’s murdering Verona’s rich and famous, and Sir Flame’s hot on the killer’s trail . . . until he has the misfortune to get magically lassoed to the most infuriating incubus he’s ever had the displeasure to meet. Except, maybe Nico isn’t so terribly awful. But how can he solve his case and keep Nico safe at the same time? Especially when the sweet demon seems to have a bullseye on his back.
Together they need to solve the crime, stay alive, and—if their luck changes—maybe even fall in love. Easy, right?
Must Love Demons is part of the Magic Emporium series. Each book stands alone, but each one features an appearance by Marden’s Magic Emporium, a shop that can appear anywhere, but only once and only when someone’s in dire need. This book contains explicit scenes, a lariat of love, a demon tail with a mind of its own, and a guaranteed HEA.
REVIEW:
I think this moved to being number one for me. I loved this story so much. It was so packed full of everything you want in a good paranormal story. And there are so many different paranormals in this one, it makes it even better. It’s a mystery, a romance for two who don’t think love will ever work for them, it’s got murders popping up everywhere, and funny moments in the oddest places at times. And I love it.
I loved Nico more than anything. Nico is just someone you want to wrap in your arms and hold forever. He’s such a sweet soul, gentled hearted incubus and with his kind, it’s a very rare trait. He forgives fairly easy, even when he knows it’s going to hurt. But the funny part of all the characters is Flame. This gruff phoenix who has everyone scared to death of him, even Nico at first. But underneath that gruff, comes a reason why. And he’s scared to admit it. He finally does to Nico, but only because his hand was forced. And it’s not an easy thing to deal with. But what I love even more, is he’s starting to change and doesn’t even know it. And the fact this gruff phoenix takes care of kitties…..yeah. He’s a big softie underneath.
I think my only thing with this book is I wish Flame could do more to the people who tried to kill Nico. Yeah, it’s a murder mystery of sorts. And the murders are a complete surprise. Especially when you find out why they want to. Creepy.
But it’s a fun story. It’s full of so much, I couldn’t put it down and am so happy I got the chance to read this one.
