I won an ARC of Dealing with a Desperate Demon<\/a>, by Charlotte Stein<\/a>, through Goodreads.<\/p>\n

\"dealing<\/p>\n

Nancy has just about given up on finding her special person when Jack Jackson\u2014big, scary and the town loser\u2014walks into her bookstore. He\u2019s apparently even more desperate for help in the romance department than she is. And after a bit of gentle persuasion, he finally accepts her guidance in securing his dream girl. Practice dates, lessons in tenderness\u2014you name it, she can teach it.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

There\u2019s just one his dream girl might have more than an issue with his dating skills. Because Jack isn\u2019t just a little clueless; he\u2019s actually the demonic son of Satan, from the deepest depths of hell. He\u2019s spent his entire long underlife dragging evildoers to their fates, while really trying not to live up to his Dad\u2019s expectations.<\/em><\/p>\n

Now, it isn\u2019t just about getting a date with his dream girl. He needs to become a better man to win over the woman he\u2019s been cosmically bound to, in a Beauty and the Beast style pact. If he fails, everyone he cares for will face a terrible fate. Luckily for him, Nancy may well be the witch she\u2019s always tried to pretend she wasn\u2019t. She can save him, he knows it\u2014and she\u2019s starting to know it too. Even if every day spent with him is an agonising reminder that she isn\u2019t the girl he\u2019s fated for.<\/em><\/p>\n

But as the deadline approaches she\u2019s starting to wonder… Could it be that she\u2019s finally found her Prince? Or is she about to lose her heart to hell?<\/em><\/p>\n

\"my<\/p>\n

This was super cozy and sweet, somewhat ridiculous, but heart-warming. I think as long as you go into the book knowing that’s what you are going to get, and not expecting something else, this could be a big win. It was for me. Jack is a giant golden retriever marshmallow with a scary face. Nancy is just the nicest nice girl you can imagine. Watching her be kind to him and him learning to lean into that is lovely. There are no big surprises in the plot. It’s pretty apparent where the whole thing is going from page one. But go in for the feels. I dare you.\"Dealing<\/a><\/p>\n
