Helpful Score: 2

Okay MacRieve was abused and molested as a child by a Succubus. But his treatment of the heroine for nearly the ENTIRE BOOK is too much. He's such an asshole it's difficult to get past. It isn't the normal romantic kind of hating each other until they love each other thing. He's cruel and hateful to Chloe and I don't think he ever redeems himself.

Not much happens besides sex. Yes I did actually say that is a downside. Because the heroine, very predictably, winds up being a succubus, MacRieve's most hated species, most of the "action" in the book revolves around sex. Wanting to have sex and not being able to, foreplay, heavy petting, thinking about sex, talking about sex, fighting about sex, fighting not to have sex. Fighting to have sex. Not much else is going on. It was a little...boring.

Hopefully we don't have to read about many more succubae or incubi in the future, sadly all the sex really bogs down the romance and possible plot that doesn't involve sex.

Nevertheless, MacRieve gets 3 stars because it's still full of funny Kresley Cole-isms, the heroine is a strong ass-kicking babe, and women are rarely portrayed as helpless victims. Go KC!
