Got demon?

Grace does. She's got more demon than she can saddle. In fact, she's got a sinfully sexy Crown Prince of Hell named Caspian. She's also got ten days to get rid of him or Bad Things shall ensue. See, her Russian mobster ex-boyfriend didn't take kindly to her smutty Mephistophelean contract. It's not that she's conspiring with fiends; that was his idea. It's that she's conspiring against him with outrageous devilry that runs the gamut from embarrassing to a dead hooker turned dominatrix demon gunning for his soul.

One should never trust demons, let alone shag them. They don't have hearts. Yet Grace is buying hers some slightly tarnished armor and hoping that once he's been shoveled into it, kicking and screaming, he'll find it's just his size. This wicked witch needs a white knight--or at least a Prince of Darkness for a Happily Ever After.

MY REVIEW:

I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I did not receive any compensation for my review, and the views expressed herein are my own.

The first book in DeWylde’s 10 Days series has all the elements of a great paranormal romance: Strong female protagonist, swoony alpha hero, and lots of red-hot action!

Grace is a witch, whose ex-boyfriend is making her life a living hell. When Grace calls upon the Powers That Be for help, Caspian – the Crown Prince of Hell - responds to her summons. He agrees to take down her ex-boyfriend, but his price is her body! Grace has no idea what she is getting into when she complies with his condition.

Grace is a real hoot! She has a great sense of humour with a snarky retort for nearly everything! I loved the banter between Grace and Caspian. Speaking of Caspian...whew! The chemistry between Grace and Caspian is so hot that I am surprised that the book didn’t spontaneously burst into flames! Caspian can do devilishly wicked things with that forked tongue of his and he definitely has spoiled Grace, as sex with a mere mortal after Caspian would be dull by comparison no matter how skilled he was! Grace’s ex-boyfriend, Michael, is particularly loathsome, and I delighted in the clever ways that Caspian tortured him.

DeWylde is a new-to-me author, and I will definitely be keeping my eye out for the next book in the series as well as her backlist.
