Devilishly #2
Devilishly Sexy
Every office has one. . .
Demon slayer Michael Archer longs for the old days when his work required a lot less strategizing and a lot more ass-kicking. Unfortunately, his current boss at Hot! magazine, a.k.a. Central Demon Intelligence, is more concerned with bad press than beheading. . .
Hot! fashionista Liza McLane has been possessed by an exasperatingly chatty demon that can only be hushed by high doses of Benadryl. But when Michael spots her gulping a handful of pills, he assumes it's a suicide attempt. Next thing Liza knows, she's under Michael's sizzling watch. . .
Now Michael's in the bind of his life. He's just saved a demon--who happens to be stuck inside a woman he's wildly attracted to--which goes against all his principles. What's a demon slayer to do?
"Devilishly fun. . .and utterly entertaining. With hot demons to boot!" --Heather Graham
Praise for the novels of Kathy Love
". . .a compelling concoction of dread, desire, and delight." --Erin McCarthy on What a Demon Wants
"Fangs for the Memories will make you laugh until milk comes out of your nose. No, really." --MaryJanice Davidson

An classic story of demon’s trying to overtake the earth and a band of warriors picked by God to battle them. WOW! The detail and thought that went into the creation of this book is astounding!
I absolutely loved the main character Michael and how he is trying to acclimate to the new world after an inadvertent mishap thirty-three years ago. Then to meet his soulmate who happens to be possessed by the chatty kathy of demons….SWEET!

Fun book!
This is turning out to be a fun series to read. I really can't wait to see what happens next. I hadn't heard about this author until I read a short story tied to this series in another book by 3 different authors. I decided to give bookn1 a try & went right into book 2, now ready to jump into book 3. Thanks, Kathynfor an entertaining series.

Not bad at all, just not a favorite.

Review originally posted here: http://thebookpushers.com/2012/06/18/...
I was so excited about this book, mainly because the Young Brothers Series were some of my first and favorite PNR reads, and Stepp Sisters Trilogy were fun and sexy contemporary reads. But for some reason, the 2nd Devilishly book just didn’t work for me.
Michael is back among the world and looking to kick a lot of demon ass. Instead, things have changed in the years he has been frozen, and killing demons on the street is no longer acceptable. In an effort to help Michael learn the new ways, he gets put in the mailroom of Hot! Magazine, keeping tabs on the demons in the organization. After just a few days on the job, Michael finds Liza and everything changes. He isn’t sure what exactly her deal is with the demons, but he knows there is something special about her.
Liza refused to sign over her soul, so instead she is possessed by the most annoying demon imaginable. She doesn’t want “Boris” to be able to read Michael, so once they start to pursue a relationship, she begins drugging the demon with allergy medicine. Unfortunately, as she and Michael get closer, the demons become more and more skeptical of her. Will Liza and Michael be able to make a real go at it before Liza’s soul gets sent to hell?
The premise of this one had such promise, but it all seemed to fizzle out fairly quickly for me. I did like a few things, and the beginning with having Michael adjust to life after being frozen for a few decades was really well done. However, it wasn’t a theme that was carried very far into the book. I liked that both Michael and Liza were trying to keep hidden the fact that they knew about the paranormal world from one another. It was fun to see them dancing around the subject, and was one of the stronger aspects of their relationship. And while I’ve come to expect some funny and hilarious situations from Love, other than Liza’s possession and a few one-liners, there wasn’t the same level of fun that I found so charming about the Young Brothers series.
The book started off a bit slow, and didn’t really seem to pick up much steam the further I got into it. While the world-building was well done and a different take on demons than we normally see in mainstream fiction, it was also one that didn’t seem to hold my attention as well as others. I kept waiting for that spark, and I just never saw it come through on the pages. Then, once the truth came out between Michael and Liza, it seemed as if the book ended somewhat suddenly with a perfect HEA.
All in all, I wasn’t as satisfied with this book as I had hoped I would be. The fun and sexy feeling that I expected from a Love novel just weren’t there. The romance didn’t live up to my expectations, and instead felt slow to start, and rushed to finish. While the book had a really interesting premise, the execution just wasn’t what I was expecting.
I give Devilishly Sexy a D+

He couldn't suppress the low growl of satisfaction as he thrust, plunging deep in one smooth stroke, fully, to the hilt.
"God, that feel so good," he groaned, his eyes rolling in their sockets with pure exaltation.
His rough words were answered with a low, desperate moan that filled him with more delight.
It had been far to long. No man should have to go so long without this. This moment of pure ecstasy. And he wasn't too humble to know he was damned good at it. Damned good.
He pulled out, positioning himself again, his fingers tightening around the thick girth in his hand, heavy and hot. A fine shaft, if there ever was one. He couldn't help taking a moment to admire it in his hand. Beautiful. An old, dear friend.
Then he sank it in again with unerring accuracy. Deep to the hilt. And that was all it took.
He remained totally still, allowing himself to feel that moment of total surrender. The shudder, a tiny, almost imperceptible quiver, then complete release.
He stared at the limp body pinned to the wall by his sheer, unrestrained strength. Eyes closed, head flung back, lips parted in a silent cry.
Now that was true beauty.
Finally he pulled out, and before the object of his determined onslaught could start to sag into a boneless, spent heap, he grasped his powerful shank for the very last stroke. The most satisfying of them all.
With a powerful sweep of his arms, he struck and a gush of warm stickiness covered his hands, his forearms. Even his chest and face. He didn't care.
He watched with a strange combination of pleasure and utter dispassion as his target's head disconnected from his body, flying through the air. It rolled across the cracked and oil-stained concrete and came to a wobbling stop under a parked car.
Yeah...I almost fell over laughing on that one...my dirty little mind was in the gutter the whole time! This is the first 2 pages of Devilishly Sexy and it only gets better from there. Beautiful, sexy Liza McLane is the editor-in-chief for HOTS magazine...she loves what she does, just NOT who she does it for. DEMONS! In order to control her a demon has possession of her and keeps her from having a normal life.
In walks devilishly handsome Michael Archer who works in the mailroom at HOTS...well not really. Surprise, surprise~he's a demon slayer.
When the two of them come together, Liza will do anything to have a relationship with Michael. And Michael will tempt whatever fate has in store for him to be with Liza. What will happen when each discovers what the other does or has had done to them in Liza's case? Well you're just gonna have to read Kathy Love's Devilishly Sexy to find out...They say the Devil wears Prada~in this case "the Devil wears whatever the heck she wants"...

Setting: Hot! Magazine – offices and basement mailroom – in New York; bar; his rundown apartment; her apartment;
Theme: good vs evil; falling in love; belief in the power of good;
Characters:
Michael Archer: archangel that became human to fight demons; all but immortal; in stasis for 30+ years; when awakened, DIA changed demon fighting procedures – instead of death for demons (and at times their hosts), working to capture and ‘save’ the demons; he is having trouble adjusting to the new mission, the new techniques, the language, the new clothes, etc.;
Liza McLane: editor in chief of Hot! And made it into a 1st class magazine, until taken over by Satan’s demons; now ‘gifted/possessed’ with a demon to keep her in line; she argues with it – and she takes an overdose of Benadryl to put the demon asleep – even though there are side effects;
Bartoris: demon – “gay, bitchy, boy crazy, and sounded remarkably like Uncle Arthur from Bewitched.” Nicknamed Boris by Liza to irritate him; also the demon who put Michael into stasis;
Gabriel: Michael’s closest friend – tries to help him ease into new ways;
Eugene: head of the DIA – Demon Intelligence Agency – demon recognizance; the one who finally exorcises the demon from Liza – with the intention of rehabilitating Bortoris;
The Brethern: Demon slayers; ‘To protect humanity from the evil powers of the demonic realm’ – shifting to redeeming the lost, not just sending them back to hell;
Allie Lewis: Michael’s girlfriend from pre-stasis; Michael goes to the bar they went to… and sees her older self – and though she has aged, and had a hard life, her optimism and joy stays firm;
Elton Silver: seer; Michael’s trainer; older; gently eases Michael and Liza together;
Finola White: Satan’s girlfriend; demon; outrageous
Tristan McIntyre: assistant editor, and Finola’s right-hand man; wants to usurp Finola and plotting against her – trying to get her to piss off Satan;
Dippy: maltipoo; hellhound; working with Tristan to oust Finola;
Summary:
Michael thinks Liza sold her soul to Satan, and he is going to be there to help her redeem it… doesn’t figure out that she is possessed (which is apparently more deadly) – she does a good job of putting the demon to sleep and hiding it from him… but come on – he’s been around a long time…
But in spite of all, they are drawn together… she is his bonded mate… ahhh
Memorable scenes:
“only getting honked at once for his jaywalking, and he didn’t even understand the insult that followed. What was a ‘mofo’ anyway?
She had such a strong effect on him; he innately knew this was the woman he needed to be with. He simply knew it, and he also knew deep in his heart, she wanted to be with him too.

Devilishly Sexy by Kathy Love
Grade: C+
“It was bad enough that she had to be possessed by a damned demon. But somehow she’d managed to get taken over by a demon who was gay, bitchy, boy crazy, and sounded remarkably like Uncle Arthur from Bewitched. Was it really a mystery why she didn’t get laid?”
Liza McLane used to be the editor-in-chief of HOT! the number one fashion magazine in the world and used to have a fabulous life. Then Satan started his demon restoration project using HOT! as his headquarters and instating Fiona White in charge of the operation. To keep HOT! running up to par Fiona has Liza possessed by a demon to keep her line and keep her working. Liza has figured out that to get any peace and quiet she can drug her demon with large amounts of benadryl and with a sexy new mail worker in the office Liza is determined to finally have a relationship.
Michael Archer has just woken for a thirty three year coma that he was put in by a demon he was trying to destroy. Michael is having a hard time adjusting to the new world that he has been thrown into and the new way things are done at the D.I.A. or Demon Intelligence Agency. No longer able to kill demons on sight Michael is assigned to the mailroom of HOT! magazine where he meets Liza McLane. Liza is like no woman Michael has ever meet before and he’s drawn to her immediately. Michael knows Liza’s possessed by a demon and he’s willing to do anything to help the woman who has come to mean so much to him.
Devilishly Sexy is the second book in this series by Kathy Love but can be read as a stand alone without any problems. This is a very cute book and has some amazingly funny one liners. I found myself snickering a lot throughout the entire book. I also found myself rolling my eyes at a lot of the book for being too cute and funny. This is a great book to read when you need something light, fluffy and don’t want to actually use your brain.
This is a book about demons that doesn’t take itself or its characters seriously. Liza drugs her demon with benadryl so she can get laid without him around and Michael arrives straight out of Saturday Night Fever with bell bottoms and jive slang. He says ‘Dy-no-mite’ in the beginning and it’s just so bad that it’s hilarious. I could never figure out if I was laughing because things were so funny or so ridiculous.
I honestly can’t decide if this book is horrible or genius nor can I decide if I want to keep reading more about what happens at HOT! magazine. This is a great book for a vacation or if you need something to cheer you up. The characters and storyline are over the top and will keep a smile on your face the whole time you are reading.

3.5
Michael Archer is a man out of time, a Demon Slayer and one of The Brethren. However, a nanosecond of inattention meant a demon was able to freeze him with a curse, a curse that lasted for 33 years. All he wants is to go back to slaying demons, but times have changed and Michael needs to get with the new program of trying to save the people who have lost their souls instead of instantly killing them, a program he doesn’t believe in. Until he meets and has an instant attraction to the editor-in-chief (in name only) of HOT! magazine Liza McClane and finds out she’s one of the lost souls.
Liza McLane worked hard to put HOT! magazine at the top of the fashion industry until Satan sends the evil demon Finola White to take over. Finola needs Liza to continue doing a brilliant job, so Liza is handed a bum deal and gets stuck with being possessed by a demon in order to keep her attached to the magazine. Liza only gets relief from the constant yammering of her demon when she drugs him with Benadryl. Unfortunately, the constant overdosing of the drug is causing some serious health issues, but Liza wants a normal relationship with Michael, so she keeps doing it. How much longer can Liza hang on? When will Michael tell her he’s a Demon Slayer? When will Liza tell him she’s possessed by a demon? Why is Satan trying to take over the world through the fashion industry? Well, three answers out of four isn’t bad.
This was a very enjoyable read. The writing is great, plot fast, characters interesting and the villains are deliciously villainous and backstabbing. They are demons after all. I particularly liked Michael. His character seemed to step off the page and stand in front of me. Yummy!
I’d also like to say that the first page and a half was one of the best openings of a book. Ever. Love, love, loved it!

Devilishly Sexy- 3.5 HOOTS
See My full review at www.nocturnereads.com
It should be listed soon!
This story definitely seems to be part of a series, although I couldn’t find a series name. This is one of those reads that’s a little cheesy, a little eyebrow raiser, and a little fanning all rolled into one.

This book has a hero you'll instantly fall in love with, and a heroine you (and the hero!) want to save. It kept me turning the pages because I honestly couldn't figure out how the author could give me a happy ending. Lots of fun demon-y goodness, laughs, and (spoiler), it does deliver a very happy ending!
November 26, 2016
I liked the characters and the premise of the book, but it wasn't carried out very well and nothing really happened of major consequence. The main male character was confused throughout the whole book, and other characters solved all the problems for him. The ending was too quick and easy. It could have been better.
October 12, 2013
I liked this book much more than the first one, Michael Archer is the perfect male protagonist and very sexy!
The only thing I would have liked is a bit more on Finola/Satan at the end but I'm guessing Kathy Love is saving that for the third book! Can't wait, definitely recommend this series!

Review coming soon! The overview is I didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped to. The main characters were good, but the pace dragged with the secondaries and antagonists. 3.5/5
June 23, 2012
Devilishly funny and entertaining!
October 2, 2012
A romance dressed up in the supernatural. A quick read.

The story is not as interesting as the synopsis. Pretty much disappointed by it.

This was a good book. Good characters, written well and interesting. I enjoyed reading this but didn't really get sucked in. Something for passing time and good for the lazy-day read.
