Fantasy. Fiction. Romance. HTML:Hot? Hell, Yeah.

If you ask Killian O'Brien, Hell gets a bad rap. True, he's a demon, so he's bound to be a little biased. But he's got great job security, all the women he can handle, a body to die for--literally--and free reign to do as he likes. Or he did, until teenager Daisy Reed and her two friends got hold of a book of spells and summoned him to do their bidding. Their demand: find Daisy's older sister, Poppy, a boyfriend. Can't be that difficult, right? It's not like the woman is unattractive. Truth be told, Poppy is irresistible--and mind-blowingly sexy. Which is exactly why finishing this simple little assignment so he can be sent back where he came from is turning out to be the hardest thing Killian's ever done. . .

Praise for the novels of Kathy Love

I find that I enjoy Love's books the most when I'm emotionally drained. That's usually the time that I want a low drama book that will still hold my attention. Love is pretty good for this, yet I almost always end up criticizing her for having too little drama. So... I'm a bit of a hypocrite. Especially, since the near zero drama going on in this story was one of main complaints.

With that said, the plot. Killian is a demon minding his own business down in hell when suddenly he finds himself standing in the middle of a girls' slumber party. The girls in question had been messing around with a spell that would summon a demon to grant the caster's wish. The wish was that Daisy's older sister, Poppy, would find a boyfriend. If Killian ever wants to return home, he has to grant this wish. Only problem is that Poppy doesn't seem too interested in dating and there's another demon breathing down Killian's neck about him being MIA for so long.

This was a really light and humorous story, but there's not much going on. A couple of minor issues pop up over the course of the book but they're dealt with fairly quick. For instance, Poppy's ex-boyfriend? No prob, everyone will just sit down to a nice dinner where Poppy can feel better about herself. Demon with a vendetta against Killian? Meh, the will take Devil take care of him off screen.

With the little problems like those two, I didn't mind that they were resolved rather quietly. But I did mind when the biggest issue of the story was handled with the same quiet fizzling out. I mean come on. Killian is a demon and Poppy doesn't know it. Yet they start a relationship. So I'm sitting there expecting some kind of blow out to eventually happen. When Poppy finds out what Killian is, I'm expecting her to flip out and feel betrayed, scared, or seriously confused. What happens though? Nothing. She just automatically accepts everything. There's no freaking out that he works for the Devil. There's no turmoil over the fact that she probably can't trust what he's been telling her. Or even the fact that her little sister summoned a demon. I mean come on! Your little sister is practicing witch craft and it worked! How does that not cause some sort of reaction? Instead, Killian returns from hell... because her little sister did another spell. And she falls into his arms, they profess their love. The End. This was just way too neat of a wrap up for the story. I mean I know its supposed to be a light paranormal, but still.

My only other problem was how "average joe" Killian was. That really bothered me considering that Killian is supposed to be a demon. Because really if you remove his mild psychic abilities, Killian is just some large dude.

With all my negative comments though, Love has an easy and light writing style that sucks you in. And in all fairness I'll probably eventually pick up the other novel by her I have sitting on my TBR pile. I would recommend this to someone looking for a really light and really fluffy paranormal.
