Review: Succubus Phone Line ;)
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 08 11, 2013
( I received this review copy from the Tour in exchange for an honest review )I found the story of a succubus using phone sex to survive a new one, the blurb promises a sexy erotic romance but with all the emotional reward of a love/mating story. Dominick is nothing but a wizard, not much compared to a demon like Victoria - so he's at disadvantage when it comes to wooing Victoria who's set up such walls she doesn't even bat an eyelash at being in the same room with her mate. Getting flat out rejected like that Dominick needs to come up with another way to date Victoria - and what better way than the anonymity of her Phone Sex Business.I loved Victoria's coolness, and I loved when she caught herself giggling with Dominick on the line, she was dead set against love, for she'd hurt so many, even killed when she was first turned in the 1920's. I read a Rumi quote yesterday that I think was absolutely beautiful and applies to Victoria as well because it's not only love that breaks our hearts..."You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens." ~RumiI loved to to have fully loved the love story with Victoria and Dominick but few things bothered me enough to drop one star away from the rating. Dominick was snapping with Victoria, when she tried to raise her shields to protect her heart he'd snap, quickly forget and move on, it wasn't that bad but a guy snapping at you for not doing anything worth reprimanding didn't sit well with me. That combined with very little about Victoria's business, the blurb makes you think there will be more hot phone sex around that place, but no and that I would have wanted more. Sure she just worked there, and the story was about their romance - but it was such interesting idea I wanted more world building I suppose.That said I'm so glad I finally got a chance to read a Lea Barrymire novel! I have been waiting for this day! That girl is awesome, her blogs the bomb and her writing is entertaining as hell! She's a great erotic romance author, she knows how to write her characters with plenty of depth to keep them interesting, with enough soul to be cared and related to, and with tons of sex-appeal to keep your heart racing in all the right places!
