Cute and sexy? Yes. Masterful plotting? Not so much.

What a Demon Loves is book four in Love's saga of New Orleans’ supernaturals finding love. And here we get the first supe/supe pairing. The leading lady this time is authoress Ellina (Maksim's sister from Demon Can't Help It), a reclusive half demon half human crossbreed who maintains calm and control at all times because any type of excitement, including arousal, makes her literally 'horny'.

What a Demon Loves is book four in Love's saga of New Orleans’ supernaturals finding love. And here we get the first supe/supe pairing. The leading lady this time is authoress Ellina (Maksim's sister from Demon Can't Help It), a reclusive half demon half human crossbreed who maintains calm and control at all times because any type of excitement, including arousal, makes her literally 'horny'. You can imagine the crimp that's put in Ellina's love life, especially since she's attracted to humans and not other supes.

Of course Ellina just hasn't met the right supe yet. That all changes, when after several break-ins at Ellina's home, brother Maksim decides Ellina needs protection. Against Ellina's wishes, Maksim hires paranormal body guard Jude to keep Ellina safe. Even though Jude has a 'thing' against demons, the attraction between the pair is electric. But with Jude's reservations about getting involved with a demon not to mention a client, as well as Ellina's 'scaly little problem' – then throw in Ellina’s mysterious stalker - it's not clear how things can work out between the pair. Not to worry though, HEA's always find a way, because as every bodyguard knows ... the best way to guard a body is up close - real close.

I liked What A Demon Wants. Both Jude and Ellina are quite appealing as leads which goes a long way in making this a cute and sexy read. The background stalker story is not much of a mystery for us readers, but even though it was tossed off quickly at the end, I wasn't upset with the resolution of the stalker story line (I thought it was kind of funny). And while I liked the haunted Jude a great deal, his supernatural secrets aren't fully explored (What is he trying to win free of?) and adding this to the thin plot, What A Demon Wants ends up being a lightweight romance. But that didn’t stop me from enjoying the book, because I was in the mood for something light, and now and then it's nice to read a book where your brain doesn't have to work to hard:)

So I thought What a Demon Wants was a nice, if frothy, addition to Love's series (Maksim's story is still my favorite thought) and I really enjoyed meeting Ellina's twin demon brothers, Pasha and Andy - one light and one dark and both mischievous. The brothers look to be promising candidates for future books, because yes, from the epilog, it's clear that Love's not done with her demons yet.
