4.5 Stars!Heart of the Incubus is book #3.5 in the Demons of the Infernum series. Since I hadn’t read any of the previous books and this book is short (134 pages), I was concerned when I started it…but after reading the first chapter of the book, I knew this was going to be a good read!This is a fast-moving story that kept my interest the entire way through. Not having read any of the other books in the series didn’t detract from this book at all, and, unlike many other short, novella length books that leave me wanting for more, Heart of the Incubus was the perfect length for the story being told.Cresso and Genevieve were both great characters. Cresso is an incubus who feeds on sex to stay alive. After falling hard for Genevieve he can’t bring himself to be with anyone but her, but he knows Genevieve doesn’t like him. Although she is very attracted to Cresso, Genevieve, a human, knows that Cresso is an incubus and considers him a playboy who would never be able to remain faithful to her – especially since she wears the scars of her ex-fiancés infidelities on her heart – therefor she refuses to give Cresso the time of day.“He was so idiotic, mooning after her when she had no interest in him whatsoever. But much as he tried to fight it, his dumb heart seemed fully intent on gifting itself to her. If she knew it, she would no doubt crush him like a bug.”When Genevieve is threatened by a stalker, Cresso immediately steps up to offer her protection and find out who the threats are coming from. In addition to fighting off the threats from Genevieve’s stalker, Cresso and Genevieve also find themselves fighting the increasing attraction between them.I really enjoyed this book. Rosalie Lario’s writing style is wonderful – with a lot of plot and not a lot of pages, she was able to keep the story moving with the right amount of detail without having to sacrifice anything to get the story told. I am looking forward to going back and reading the rest of the books in this series!I received an eARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
