Devilishly Wicked

Kathy Love. Kensington, $9.95 trade paper (320p) ISBN 978-0-7582-6589-0

Sweet and light with an edge of darkness, Love’s third Devilish paranormal (after Devilishly Sexy) conjures up romance between lust demon Tristan McIntyre and human Georgia Sullivan, who both work at Manhattan’s fashionable, demon-run HOT! magazine. Tasked by the Prince of Darkness to topple the egocentric reign of Finola White, HOT!’s über-evil recently demoted boss, Tristan is also grappling with his forbidden lust for Georgia. Demon-slayers who work undercover at the magazine and a thread of intrigue nudge along what would otherwise be a drab standard story of demon meets girl. However, characters drawn with the barest touch of depth and a frivolous, just-for-the-fun-of-it plot ensure a playful read designed to eat up some time. An interesting twist at the end will have series fans anticipating the next title. Agent: Amy Moore Benson, AMB Literary Management. (Nov.)
