I really enjoyed this when I read it as a manuscript in 2005. I enjoyed the humor, and the bawdy nature of the book. It doesn't sweep things under the rug. I liked the main character and her sex demon. I enjoyed the setting and generally like the Urban Paranormal fantasies when they are done well. I thought this book was well done, and can't understand all the negativity around the book. Any reader who enjoys the secondary characters of a book to be angry and abusive to one another AND to the main character will really enjoy this book. If you are a reader who loves jumping into a slightly different world with no explanation of how and why it is different, definitely pick up this book! The first half of this book was confusing and all over the place. I could not figure out what was going on at times. I stuck with it because the premise was intriguing. About halfway, it was as though the editor woke up and started doing his/her job and the book got much more understandable and started living up to its potential. Be warned this is the first in the series, and there are several threads of the storyline that are unresolved at the end, presumably to be dealt with in books 2 or 3. Pleasant fluff piece about a guy that gets "cursed" into being stuck in a brass bed (and turned into an incubus) and the woman that saves him - well, she's his 100th "conquest." Nasty and fun reading. 0.059 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
