Knowing he broke her heart when he convinced her he slept with a prostitute and he imagined returning to her after all this time, she wouldn't be very welcoming but he never expected her to shot him on the spot. Granted, she thought he still had his powers and could get out of the way but she refuses to feel bad about it. After all, he devastated her when he slept with a whore and disappeared from her life. She loved him and she thought he loved her too but all of it was a lie. He's not human and she can't expect him to feel like a human. She confused and wary as to why he's returned and she regrets making up the lie that they were married even if it did save her reputation. The hero himself is confused as to why he feels compelled to make things right with the heroine. He can feel her pain regardless of the distance between them and the notion of her unhappiness makes him ill. So, he risks sever punishment by his father and more sever wounds from his ' wife' to set things right with her. He believes that if he makes her love him again, she'll heal emotionally and be free to fall in love and marry a man worthy of her. So, he vows to show a leopard can change his spots. Powerless, experiencing what it is to be human and poor, the hero must rely on the heroine until his mission is complete. Lucky for him, small town pressure makes them carry on with the rouse of being man and wife. The hero, unsocial and sinfully charming, begins to doubt himself when the heroine doesn't immediately forgive him. But he's no longer that man. He was once obsessed with his appearance yet now he's covered in dust and grime. He once couldn't care less about anyone feelings but he cares desperately about the heroines. She's right to doubt him. She doesn't trust this new and improved him. But this doesn't stop her from loving him. In fact, she never stopped. Even when he cheated on her. Even knowing that he's the son of the devil and has done terrible things. Even knowing that his time in town is temporary and soon he'll leave her broken hearted again. The things about the heroine was that she acted tough and tried to pretend to be coldhearted but her feelings were clearly on display. She didn't hide the fact that she could still be jealous. That she desired him and cared for him still. But the hero didn't make anything easy. Despite his changed personality, he still managed to keep secrets and say or so something to make the heroine dislike him again. He was as must a hindrance to himself as his sister was. But regardless of the obstacles standing between them the fact of the matter is that hero is desperately in love with the heroine. Has been since the first moment he say her. How he can possibly find a way to remain on earth when he deserves to be in Hell?
This was certainly an improvement on the first in the series. There's something intriguing about having the 'bad boy' having a change of heart. The hero was a completely different person than how he was in the previous book but he was still that grinning charming and devilishly tempting male. He could certainly charm his way past anyone's defenses if he wanted to and he put his charm attack to 1000 when it came to the heroine. How could she possibly resist? And the heroine was a lovely character in her one right. She was plainly heartbroken in love, hesitate to allow him in just to see him hurt her again but loving him all the same. I loved her no bullshit attitude when it came to the hero because it made him a better man. Perhaps my one complaint with this book was the lack of a villain. Yes, there's' the devil who makes appearances off camera to whip of beat the hero into submission. And Kit, the sister, could be considered a villain as she caused problems for the hero. But all together, there was no one for them to 'fight', nothing for them to battle but their feelings. I could have done with a bit more 'bad buy'. But I still really liked this book. It had humor, romance and a subtle taste of darkness that neither the characters truly dwelled on. The chemistry was great between the characters and their personalities made it easy to like them. Lovely book. I'd happily read Kit's story if there should be one, cause hell, all the siblings should have a chance at redemption.

I HAD MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT THIS ONE. IT WAS ODD...LIKE THE ENTIRE GENRE AND PAIRING OF SUPERNATURAL WITH ALMOST COWBOY SETTING? JUST WEIRD.
HERO is the son of Satan. That hit me like a ton of bricks mainly because I skipped the blurb and dived in blindly. Anyway, he left the heroine before with a broken heart and now he's back to fix it BUT then he's going to leave again. For all his goodwill...I think his coming back only made matters worse and difficult for everyone... Especially when he had no intention to stay. Was he a cosmic character? Hell no...He just existed on the fringes of my conscience of bungling my way through this story.
HEROINE is an independent southern woman who has the balls of two men. She's also brave, strong and resilient. A pretty good pairing for the Devil's son if only he was made of sterner or cooler stuff. Apparent to say, she's not happy that Deacon is back in her life and only complicates her heart more. Will she let him back in? Will he stay?
OVERALL I question the purpose of this story....The plot and everything was just not very exciting in my honest opinion. There was angst but truly what else was there?
