BLURB:
Carter Lathan is nineteen, raised in an uber-religious household, and gets the guilts when he even thinks about approaching a guy who might be willing to bend Carter over. So when he finds a book that guarantees to help him summon such a man, it’s a no-brainer.
Okay, so he can’t find some of the weirder ingredients and has to make substitutions, he can’t read Latin to save his life so he makes something up… The spell won’t know, right?
Wrong.
Beez is nearly seven feet tall, with red skin, a kickin’ tail, and horns. Alcy has freaking wings. And they want Carter to choose between them.
But after a lot of talking—and other less cerebral activities—with the men… demon… angel… whatever… Carter decides he doesn’t want to choose—he wants both of them. Alcy and Beez are definitely not down with that. How would it look on their resumes? No, he has to choose, and if they have to show Carter what they can each offer him, that will help him decide once and for all.
Won’t it?
REVIEW:
The first thing I want to say about this book is that it wasn’t what I expected. I’ll be honest and tell you I had a bit of a hard time getting into this story. KC Wells and Parker Williams have written some of the most amazing and emotional books I’ve ever read and so that’s what I was expecting from this story.
And I was wrong. Once I fought past the discord in my brain, I found a pretty great tale. Carter is adorable and very easy to love. Beez and Alcy are two men who are so different and yet alike in where they really end up wanting to go.
Once I got past my expectations, I really enjoyed the sweetness and humor of the story. This could have been a Hallmark romance…if they made those R-rated…and with 3 men.
The thing these men needed the most is communication. They are poster boys for “assuming makes an ass out of u and me! The way they all circle around each other while trying to hide what they want, while simultaneously doing their best to make the others happy had me smiling so hard! There were several times during the book that I just wanted to give them all a great big. hug.
There is a lot of very explicit sex in this book. And while I accept that it was part of the motivation for the characters, it was a little bit much for me. I find I like more story and less sex these days so really that’s just a personal preference for me. It was extremely well written, not that I’m surprised. Wells and Williams always put their heart and soul into every story they write, together or apart.
These characters come to life on the pages and I guess I should have had a little more faith in these authors. It’s funny how you get ideas in your head and sometimes they are hard to shake.
There is a little religious bigotry in this story, but nothing to triggering and I really like the way this story looks at things like God and religious ideas. It makes me wish the real world was a little (a lot) more like it.
If sweet and steamy is your thing, then this story is going to be right up your alley. It’s smart and humorus and just a lot of fun to read. If you’ve just read a book that ripped your heart out and left it in shreds, this would be just the story to make it whole again. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
