Quick recap: Jackie Brighton is a 27-year-old docent working at a museum. One night she gets super drunk & wakes up two days later in a dumpster. Turns out she's been turned into a Succubus. Succubi are made when an angel has sex with a human & a vampire bites the same human. Both become the human-turned-succubi's master & can control what the human does. Jackie becomes reaquainted with the angel who helped turn her & her completely idiotic adventures begin.

If anyone tells you that this book is urban fantasy and/or paranormal romance - take it with a pinch a salt, I mean it: this book is really just chick lit with some background folklore/mythology thrown in there. But I'm not complaining. I really liked this novel, a lot more than I thought I would seeing as I inevitably made comparisons to Richelle Mead's Succubus series, and they did actually share a lot in common. Both series have likeable, witty and strong-willed heroines, they both have smut

Poor Jackie Brighton is having a bad morning. After an amazing one night stand with a too die for hot stranger, Jackie awakens in a dumpster in some back alley. She can’t remember how she got there and the night in question is a big drunken sex blur. Her memories start coming back to her where she remembers images of all the lusty lovemaking she engaged in with her “Blue –Eyed Blond Casanova” she met at the hotel bar. She remembers his name is Noah and after having one too many martinis, she bec

An entertaining read with likable characters. It will be interesting to see how things develop in the next book after the events that concluded this one. My only negative critique would be that I think it may have relied a bit too heavily on the sexual aspects to drive the story along. I appreciate that she's a succubus, but pretty much every conversation and thought all came back to sex. Maybe it will change with future books when Jackie is more comfortable with her new incarnation.

I loved this book. It was a great new take on paranormal romance. I thought the reluctant succubus (Jackie) was smart and quick witted. She started out as an every woman and became what many of us want to be, a hot, desirable gal who can eat anything she wants and not gain weight.
The love triangle that forms in this book doesn't make me feel sorry for Jackie, but envious! Ha! The sex scenes are hot and there is a ton of sexual tension.

Just what supposedly a succubus story is all about. The idea, though I'd say that it was a bit odd and flawed to me, is awesome. Ok, I could live with the oddity of the story. It could actually grow into a very much better concept but nonetheless this book is amusing enough for light reading.
I love the humor and the way Myles describes her own succubus and her attributes. A succubus is a succubus does. Also Myles' hierarchy from angels to demons, their specs and their limitations.

Ok, I admit--I didn't have high expectations of this book. But I did enjoy the different take on what a vampire is--and what a succubus was--and how both were created.

Gentlemen Prefer Succubi, is pretty much a typical love story. Granted it’s a sexy love story, but a typical love story none the less. Jackie starts out as this chubby, brainiac (she was a museum tour guide before she was turned) and then BAM once she was turned she suddenly, lost the extra poundage and apparently some of her brains as well. I really can’t explain how she dumbed herself down, it just seemed like she became this airhead the second her boobs got bigger.

Gentleme Prefer Succubus is a hilarious book and a good start to a new series. Jackie, the heroine,is attacked by a vampire, which tends to rouse the desire for sex, and is dumped right in the path of the fallen angel,Noah's way. Vampire and then fallen angle, the two elements required to creat a succubus. Hence Jackie wakes to find herself a sex craving creature with a world of supernatural being waiting to take advantage of her.

To get in the mood for this book, it's best to imagine yourself as a 27 year old size 14 woman with B-cup breasts who works as a docent*. Now, see yourself waking up in a dumpster, 8 sizes smaller, 3 cup sizes bigger, with a rabbit on crack sex drive.
Oh, not to mention you're now undead, immortal and a succubus, with one vampire master and one angel master who you must answer to. Slight problem with that however. You don't know your fanged "father" and are seriously trying to More...

I wasn't planning on reading this book today. I have other books that are burning a hole in my e-reader. Several of them, in fact. Then I popped on over to Pocket After Dark and saw that this was one of the free reads this month. Hmm, I thought to myself, this is a series I've been meaning to take a look at! Now's the perfect time.

Gentlemen Prefer Succubi by Jill Myles the first book in the Succubus Diaries, if you have read my other book reviews you will see that I don’t always talk about the books story line as the Authors description would be better than mine as she wrote and I did not! What I will talk about is what I liked and disliked when reading the book.
So here goes: The clue to what the book is about is that she is a succubus if you are not sure that this means then look it up.

The inaugural novel by this author is savy, funny, beautifully written, with a story line that just never caves in and keeps the reader entranced all the way through. I read it in one sitting and loved the characters.

So, I'll say it straight up: I don't like sex scenes in books. And yet, I love to read so much, and I'm mostly happy reading anything, so it sometimes happens that I find myself reading a book with graphic sex scenes. When that happens, the first question I ask myself is: What would this book be WITHOUT these sex scenes?

Well, I wanted light and fluffy and that's what I got. Several genre tropes were a bit like getting smacked in the face with a dead trout, but the lore premises were original and worked well to justify all the gratuitous sex - which was one of the reasons I read the book. There were a few laughs to be had and, once the world premises were set, the storyline was engaging enough without requiring too much brain power to follow along with.
