Back Cover:
What good could come of a bargain with the devil?
Burdened by her responsibility to the Order of the Cadre, Lady Dawn Maybank never imagines that a thoughtlessly spoken spell could conjure up her worst nightmare--a demon of vengeance. Or that this demon, Galen McManus, will propose a trade that could finally earn Dawn the respect she's sought her entire life. Because in exchange for the Demon Stone, a long-lost diamond for which her father has been searching his whole life, Dawn will spend five nights in the sinfully handsome demon's bed.
Little does Dawn know that Galen's real objective is to weave his own brand of cosmic justice. But then the sinister net the arrogant demon has woven traps his most unsuspecting victim yet--himself. And for the most unlikely of reasons...
Favourite Scene:
Because she honestly didn’t think she could face Galen McManus ever again. Not after the things he’d done to her last night. And all the things she’d done to him…
She’d expected sex. A nice, civilized round of man-on-woman pleasure.
What she’d gotten was…SEX. Round after round of wild, lustful man-all-over-woman feral iniquity.
Another Fav Scene:
As he approached, he heard raised voices. Dawn, and an unidentified male. Arguing.
Galen’s first instinct was to burst into the room and rain a deluge of fire and brimstone over the man’s head, burning him to a crisp for daring to raise his voice to Dawn.
My Review:
I loved the premise of this book. The bargain of five nights of sex with a demon in exchange for a precious diamond her family values? Mmm. Way to start off steamy and keep it steamy the whole way through as every night he claims her, regardless of what's keeping them in conflict or apart. I really enjoyed this one. One thing confused me though, was the heroine mortal? At the end they said they'd spend forever together, but I didn't know if she HAD forever to give, so I felt their future was a little unresolved/uncertain.
My Rating: 4/5 stars, a very steamy Nocturne, loved that all the action was tied to their feelings for each other, it never seemed like the steam connection came in second.
