This book was a free download on Barnes & Noble for the Nook. I checked out reviews and ratings and decided it was worth my time. I was wrong.
Do not listen to the other reviews. For a serious romance/paranormal romance reader, this book is just completely lacking. I'm so disappointed in this book, because it had such potential to be so good. She should have made it much longer and added to the courting process and introduction to all the characters. The character list was so short, yes i realize it was supposed to be this way because she is a loner author, but there was no time for any character development at all. Maybe i would have been more comfortable with the fact that this book all happened in the course of like 4 or 5 days if i got to know the characters. I was all like...
Around the end, i was so disinterested in the story, i didn't really care any more i just know that it was shorter than a week.
The grammar was atrocious. How, OH FREAKING HOW, can a self/indie published author have grammar problems??? Even the most ancient versions of Word has grammar check! At least this version of Word she used had spell check. I want to know where she dug up a time machine to get the software.
I realize that the grammar in my review isn't the best, but then again i'm not a published author. If this review was to be published in a magazine, yeah it would be flawless.
Well, let's undertake this misadventure through the book shall we...
Chapter one started off with her blabbering on and on about crap. She got to the point where she said "at least one of my idiosyncrasies will drive you insane within a couple of hours". Well you did an excellent job because you drove me insane with in the 5 minutes it took for me to read the first 3 pages.
She goes on to say how much she LOVES vampires and pirates and demons etc. Then the next page she insists on how much she hates bullies and violent people....So basically Kaylie is a walking contradiction.
Vampires drink blood. Human blood. They viciously attack, bite, stalk and sometimes kill unwilling humans.
Demons are evil vicious creatures. Yes we know that she is so turned on by how evil and bad they are, but lets completely ignore the fact that they enjoy torture. They steal human souls so not only are they able to torture humans on earth but they can continue torturing their soul for all eternity. Yeah you hate bullies, yet your boyfriend makes deals with humans to extend their lives and in return takes their soul to hell. yeah great job.
I saved pirates for last. Yeah, we all know Johnny Depp made a kick ass sexy pirate. Surprise, Disney sugar coated that shit thicker than the earth's crust. Pirates were stinky, diseased, dirty rotten criminals. The job description includes rape, murder, theft, and vandalism. I don't know how much more you could define "bully". They raped women, killed them, and stole their shit!
She the went on about how she wanted to be "the one" for them and all that sappy shit. the one that turned them good and that she would be the one they would fall deeply in love with and cherish her for the rest of their afterlife or whatever.
"oh honey, i know you used to beat and rape women and tear men's skin right off their bones, but i love you!"
"oh sexy baby cakes you're the only one for me! raping and killing and forcibly taking the life from people is behind me now all because i love you!"
Face the facts here. Even if you were to find an evil boyfriend that fell head over heels in love with you, he wouldn't change. he, or she apparently, will not want to leave it behind them. Especially vampires! they need that blood to live. Even if they decided to just steal from the blood bank, HELLO YOU'RE STEALING FROM A BLOOD BANK! DYING CHILDREN NEED THAT BLOOD. She wants to fall in love with what she hates. Shes got to have major daddy issues.
Fuzziwigs candy store....seriously? Did she find a golden ticket in that wonka bar she bought too? The names in this book are just horrid, but Fuzziwigs was by far the worst. I rolled my eyes so hard i hurt my eye sockets.
I know everyone has different tastes in men, and all men look different. Not all women lust after Travis Maddox, i don't know why, but they dont. Idiots. Just kidding! If all romance guys looked like Travis i'm sure i'd get bored pretty quick...probably not...ok this isn't helping. Thantos(yeah thantos) just sounds very unattractive. This is how i pictured Thantos:
Yeah, Nathan Explosion. I mean, come on, hair down to his waist? Kaylin must have borrowed the author's time machine and went to 1972. Hey, while you're there pick me up a lava lamp.
I believe men (REAL men anyway) will agree with me when i say men don't smack each other. Men bitch slap. They don't bitch slap so much as to injure the person, they do it more to embarrass the other male and show their dominance.
Now, we are still in chapter one. Yes oh yes we are. Kaylin thrusts her self upon two complete male strangers. Two complete male strangers that were fighting, none the less. Kaylin had absolutely no right to interject in their confrontation. She's 5' 6" and probably weighs a buck ten if i know my romance novels. The two men are over a foot taller than her and both have nearly triple her weight. Yes, Kaylin shove your way between two giant ugly apes fighting, how intelligent you are. There are millions of ways she could have and should have properly become antiquated with *shutter* Thantos (God i hate that name) if she wanted. I would like to remind my fellow female readers *** UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DO YOU EVER THROW YOURSELF INTO A SITUATION LIKE THIS!!! RUN TO THE NEAREST SAFE PLACE AND CALL 911 ***
Thantos's come back of "Next time you want to save something, go find a cat in a tree" was perfect. I loved this line. I was like yes, put that idiot in her place. Then he made the mistake of going in and engaging this psycho in the book store. SMH Thantos, just when i thought i could like your character.
Kaylin later says that she is "terrified" and "excited" at the same time. I don't know about you but if i was trapped by two giant and possibly aggressive men i'd be on my cell faster than Andreus (Thantos's friend/brother guy) could snatch my book. WTF is wrong with Kaylin's brain? No, i'm serious, this is not normal behavior. If an aggressive man trapped me in a corner of a deserted bookstore i'd be screaming rape before i even noticed his buddy blocking the escape behind me. Kaylin has problems she needs to address with a therapist.
Lets fast forward to when Thantos starts stalking Kaylin. stalking. Dude's nuts. Hi i'm just going to randomly show up at your house and then try and have sex with you in the kitchen.
So much wrong with this book already and we just finished chapter 3. The Author should have stretched out this part a little more because all she did was make Kaylin look like a whore and pass it off like it was ok to act like that. Gentlemen do not act like that and try to get into a girls pants a few hours after meeting them. If she wanted Thantos to come off as a gentleman she needed to stretch out the getting to know you, and have Thantos "happen" to show up at Kaylin's favorite haunts.
Then...all of a sudden BAM guess who has a best friend. Out of no where it was an oh yeah btw i have a super duper best friend that i see 3 times a week on the reg.
THEN its oh btw she's psychic. Did i forget to tell you that reader? oh yeah she's totally psychic. even though this is first person telling a story i'm just now bringing that up tra la la la la. convenient eh?
Well anyway they're all in love and they all live eternally happily ever after.
*I realize that, as all art is, this book is one of the author's babies. When you spend so much time creating something, you become emotionally attached to it. Just as a painter with their canvas, is an author with her books. My Demon Lover is very much loved by the author, and i struggled writing my review. I'm a very nice person, but i also tell it like it is in my reviews. I'm sorry if she has her feelings hurt by my review, but this IS just MY opinion.

September 2, 2020I didn’t read this but can I just say I love all versions of this cover

1 thank-fuck it was free star.
Why no. No I wasn't.
I cannot for the life of me figure out how this book has 3 1/2-4 stars. Did I read a different copy than everyone else?
This book lacked so hard I used it to re-finish my coffee table.
Girl meets "boy"
Boy is demon
Girl doesn't care
Demon fills her with his hot demon gel
Tenacious D reference. +1 for myself.
Look at that! I even get sidetracked with more interesting things, just writing a review on this book.
If you read the majority of reviews on this book and think, "Everyone else has given this book a decent review, she must just need to get laid." Then go ahead and read it.
BUT!
I'm warning you. It sucks.
And.
I get ass on the daily, or you know...when my husband isn't on the xbox.
Here is a GIF of a bunny doing agility stuffs. It is super cute and also far more interesting than this book.

Well, the main problem I had was that the digital copy I downloaded for free from Barnes & Noble was obviously missing a few chapters. It jumped from them talking in the book store to somehow being in her home. The writing and plot aren't great, but the author shows promise. I think if she reworked a few of the scenes and drew the story out into a full length novel, and perhaps a longer period of time (the characters bond for eternity after knowing each other for a week, most of which is spent in bed? Ugh.), it might be a good book and the start of a good series. As it is? Yeah, not so much...
January 14, 2014
Just because this book was free I want to give it five stars, but knowing people will soon be paying money based on these reviews I felt the need to be completely honest. I loved the character development, even in the short time span of the book. Their wasn't a lot of actual paranormal activity, it seemed to turn into a slightly paranormal soft porn. The premise of the book was enjoyable. My only real problem (other than not believing a 210 page novel should be considered anything other than a novella) was a few places where incorrect words were used; granted, the words were spelled correctly, it was just my instead of by and things like that.

Another quick read. Downloaded from smashwords this time. Interesting plot and characters, being so short the relationship had to move along pretty quickly. Nice change from the vamp and angel stories but still a paranormal. Think I will check into more of this author's work. I enjoyed this one and recomend it to others.
January 20, 2014
From the beginning I expected it to be longer and go into more depth then it did, by the way the author was habing kaylin talk about taking a 5 minute convo and turning it to a 3 hour story. I was hoping that's how it'd be but it wasn't. With that said it was a great read and I'm looking forward to reading the others.
October 6, 2014
This short story is great for a weekend read, or train home from work. It is fast paced, girl see's boy, boy interested in girl, they are at her house. This makes the story seem like a few chapters might be missing, but the flow is believable. The characters are fun and sassy, I would of liked more to the story, but as a whole its a cute little book.
June 29, 2013
This was a free book on the nook. I would have been happy to pay for it. It's a fun book. Kaylin loves anything paranormal demons and vampires. She even writes about them. She meets Thanatos a man that is too good to be true. Is he a man or somthing else. You will have to read to find out.
July 3, 2013
Kaylin is a humorous character. I really liked her. Thanatos is sexy and very appealing. The story started out fun then the relationship was rushed into a much too happily ever after. But it was decent nonetheless.
July 22, 2013
Super cute. Kind of rushed and could have been developed more but I still loved it. Being a lover of paranormal romance, I had fun relating to the main character.
October 3, 2013
Very entertaining! Who knew a demon could be so loveable.
December 26, 2013
This was a short read, 210 pages. I enjoyed it mostly because the sex scenes were not so graphic and drawn out as most are these days. They usually bore me more than anything else.
December 31, 2013
I get it for the nook and it's easy to read and for the price is good, free!
February 16, 2014
fun read. I like to think Kaylin and I have a lot of the same traits esp the one where she turns a five minute story in to a three hour one
April 6, 2015
Sexy, witty and full of humor.

Very cheese book, I wanted to gag! I guess for reading entertainment it was ok. Free book so no money waisted.
November 25, 2013
This was a very good book. I would like to read the next one and plan on buying it soon.
