Secret loves, secret wishes, and finally taking a chance to go after what you really want.

Van is an incubus who dreams of loving one special woman but fears approaching her because of who and what he is. How could she possibly want him for more than just the great sex he can offer her? He believes it is best to keep his incubus nature sealed away. He doesn’t want to take a chance on driving her away from him once he finally approaches her.

Belle is an elven princess and is fascinated by an incubus she briefly meets and dreams about. She has lived too long by other people’s rules and beliefs. She has desires, needs, and she really wants to let them free. And she wants to draw out Van’s inner incubus nature.

The story involves two very interesting main characters with frustrated feelings, conflicts to overcome, and who the reader can pull for as they decide to go for their dreams. Oh, and there is definite heat.

What’s a snake shifter demon in love with a mortal woman to do when they can’t seem to do anything but argue anymore? Try desperate measures, that’s what.

Dale Thornson is desperate not to lose the woman he loves, but not willing to risk her life by giving her what she wants from him. He wants to try a small dose of an aphrodisiac first, see if plenty of sex will win her back.

Val Mays is in love with her demon man but is sure he will one day grow tired of her and move on. To prevent this, she wants him to brand her as his, even though it could possibly kill her. She is willing to risk it. Will she win her way? Or will her demon lover hold his own and continue refusing to make her permanently his?

The characters were well developed, the conflicts believable for their world, and the sex hot, hot, hot.

Roxi’s life is complicated and getting out of control. She’s a vampire and a succubus, but the succubus is taking over her life. Her lovers are dying when she loses control and she hates it. In desperation she seeks help from a witch healer and meets Connor Leeds, a warlock expert in the “sealing” ceremony to seal off the succubus part of her. After that life seems perfect with Connor as her new lover. Until…

The characters are nicely developed and their conflicts difficult. But the love between them and the hot sex holds the reader and makes you pull for them to conquer Roxi’s problem. This was a very enjoyable read. Oh, did I mention there’s a male incubus added into the mix? Yum!
