Description
Naomi is tired of unsolicited male attention just to meet her high-powered aunt, so she invents a betrothal. To a demon. She claims his name is Daziel, who just happens to be real. He appears suddenly in her rooms but cannot be banished by any spells she’s tried. He moves in, cooking and decorating for her, willing to continue the ruse so he doesn’t have to return home just yet. She’s fighting her attraction, knowing she can’t be betrothed to a demon, but there are bigger things on her mind. The winds and weather are changing, and all the birds have up and left. Meanwhile, her work on some ancient scrolls is finally beginning to progress, with a little brainstorming help from Daziel. She soon realizes that the ancient text may have more modern-day meaning than expected, and Daziel’s secret might have something to do with it.
The dated cover hides a story that is sexy and fun and witty and adventurous. The romance is a slow burn that warms as their adventure becomes more dire. Reynolds deftly folds all the plot points together, creating a flirty fantasy with, strangely enough, cozy chaos. A cute winter read.
