Hotter Than Hell
Jackie Kessler. Zebra, $15 paper (336p) ISBN 978-0-8217-8104-3

In Kessler’s newest, Daunuan, master seducer and incubus, returns badder than ever. Pan, the new king of lust, wants to appoint Daunuan his second in command, but Daunuan must first prove himself by seducing a woman destined for heaven, claiming her soul for hell. Daunuan thinks this will be an easy assignment, but he doesn’t expect to fall in love with Virginia, his target, and be willing to give up hell to ensure that she doesn’t get damned for all eternity. Complicating his mission is that someone in hell has it in for him and has sicced a crew of demons on him. Daunuan also cannot come to terms with his feelings for Jezebel, a succubus. The plot is sexy and bold, and the atypical ending—a happily ever after pairing is not in the cards—is satisfying, even if the unconventional conclusion may rub some readers the wrong way. (Aug.)

SEXY AND BOLD!!! **happy dance**

Okay, fair warning: As PW says, there isn’t a typical HEA (happily ever after) in this book. I have an Author’s Note at the end of the book addressing this, but I will also put up a warning on the website.

SEXY AND BOLD, BABY!!!
