Lucy and Rafe are such a fun couple. So yeah Lucy owns a salon but the whole story isn't about that, thank goodness. Lucy is a demon. A special kinda demon. This story was am easy read. There were many times where I was laughing at some of the things that Lucy said or thought. While Lucy is sarcastic and just plain funny, Rafe was so serious. He tried a time or two to make a joke and he fails. Poor guy.

When the Infernati attack, Rafe’s sister sending a special chest to Earth. Now it is up to Rafe to retrieve the chest before the Infernati find it and use it to control Earth. Rafe does not like Earth. Hopefully, he can find the chest and get back as soon as possible. One thing that Rafe did not count on was meeting Lucy.

What evil lurks in the hearts of hairdressers around the world? Lucia Gregory knows… but only because she’s just opened a chest full of demons and discovered that she’s a succubus. Now she’s pressed to rein in all that she’s loosed upon the world, not to mention keeping her salon in one piece while doing it.

I hated this book. From pretty much the beginning. Frankly, that really pisses me off. This is yet another book that has lured me in with the pretty cover and promises of a great story only to let me down. And it let me down all-around: characters, grammar, excessive uses of certain words/punctuation.
My biggest issue was Lucy. She is a fucking idiot. She thinks she's so intelligent--as does everyone else--but she's just a fucking dumbass. This is one of those books that I wish More...

My Review:
You have to love a book with a sense of humor and this book definitely has that. Lucy owns her own beauty parlor and thinks that she's just a normal girl...albeit one who hasn't gotten laid in over 5 years. So you can imagine her surprise when a sexy demon shows up telling her that she's a succubus demon (sex demon.)

Lucy Gregory is the owner of a beauty salon. Her best friend buys a chest in an antique store and Lucy is the one to open it. By doing so she accidentally unleashes demonic activity. Paladin demon Rafe Deleon - one of the good guys - comes to the rescue, wanting to put a lid on this mess. He also reveals to Lucy what she really is: a half-succubus.

So disappointed. I wanted to like this book. I loved the cover. That's about it.
I love snarky humor, but this was more 7th grade humor than snarky. The heroine was an idiot, and apparently every other character in the book thought so too, because nobody was jumping in to tell her what was going on. The Hero whined too much. I like my heros to be a little more alpha, and this one was just..... I don't know. He had zero self esteem, and seemed to stand behind the women a lot.

I'm about seven chapters into this book as I'm writing this and I just am not sure at this point if I'm going to finish it. I love the plot idea. I COULD easily love Rafe and Lucy - I really, really want to - but I am not a fan of Ms. Ayers's writing style. At this point pretty much every character seems one-dimensional. Don't get me wrong - there is some serious potential here for a fun story, but it's like the author is spending too much time trying to be "funny" using bad cliches an

I really wanted to like this book. I'm all for my fellow Michigan writers and PNR, plus a free book is always a bonus. But sadly I ended up with a list of dislikes that was much longer than the likes for this story. The plot had great potential, some of the characters were really fun, and I really hoped that things would turn around but sadly they did not. In fact by the time I was about 60% done with the book I considered not finishing it because I was so annoyed. It really takes a lot to

Cheeky Summary: This book was a slow start for me. In fact, I almost didn't stay with this story. There were too many WTF moments in which I felt the author was trying to hard to be cool and instead came off totally ridiculous. But I kept with the book mainly because of the side characters who kept my interest much more than the hero and heroine did. The world-building was much more interesting than the love story itself was and I think it’s because I had a hard time getting past those cheesy li

Demons Prefer Blondes is a paranormal romance that is quirky and funny. The heroine is a newly-aware succubus who happens to be succubi royalty. The hero is a tortured demon who cannot believe he’s being sent to Earth to retrieve an antique chest. And once Lucy and Rafe meet, all Hell breaks loose. Literally. So what else is there to do but fight?

Demons Might - I Didn't
Hairstylist and beauty shop owner Lucia Gregory should have known better when her best friend Serah showed up toting the antique chest she'd gotten for a steal. The fact that she bought it isn't what bothers Lucy. That's what Serah does. She buys things. Lots of things. In this case, however, it's a creepy chest that gives her a zap when she touches it, and the Latin scrawled across the top is not exactly chock full of warm fuzzies.

Lucia Gregory, a hairdresser running a salon in a small town, lives a pretty simple life. That is until her quirky best friend’s obsession with antiques turns her world upside down. Lucia's affinity for Latin draws her to an ancient dusty trunk and she just can’t help her curiosity when the inscriptions warn her of demons and special powers. She never expects to unleash an immeasurable amount of trouble for herself and the entire world.

When the book starts we do not know that Lucy is a succubus. Nope she owns a beauty salon. She is single, she has good friends and one of them has just brought a strange box to her. Let the fun begin. This is where the demons step in and they are not your usual kind of demons. There are the wicked evil ones and then there are those blessed by angels and they actually fight for good. That was different.

Started off really interesting and fun, everything was balanced and understandable and the characters were likable.
The farther you get into the book the more the writing starts to skip events and key pieces of story and I started to get confused about sequence of events, like I was missing pages to the book.
I definitely think there's room for a lot of growth for this writer.
Overall I think it was a good plot line and it just got sloppy.

An ancient chest opens, unleashing the Inferati and summoning an attractive Paladin demon named Rafael, but this didn’t happen just anywhere. It happened in the middle of Lucy Gregory’s beauty shop. Lucy Gregory, the sassy succubus that is. As this novel is centered around a beauty salon, you can bet it includes tons of girly fun, romance, humor and more.

this book was interesting, the summary was nice. however the thing that bothered me was that she didn't know she was a succubus until she opened the box and that she was only attracted and she did not seem like a succubus. I was also lost throughout the book about the plot and the fighting.
