I found this story to be a bit of a challenge to review. Yes, it did have a storyline, but not really much of a plot, other than two misfits falling in love, despite obstacles. That is nothing original, it's pretty much the basic story of every romance, only the details differ. The details were quite different, though, so points for that. There is some attempt made at character development, but on Holly's part, it seemed as if she never questioned anything, just happily went with the flow and instantly lust was love. At least Colin did some questioning, but mostly because he was clining to the line he'd always used. The story is well written as far as flow and construction with few errors in editing, nothing that distracts from the story. There is a lot of graphic sex and there are fetish scenes -rope bondage in front of an audience and spanking, but no one is forced, injured or underage.In this book, Colin is a member of a secret sex fetish/BDSM club because he is a half demon and has an unusually high libido. The club is owned by a full demon and is the headquarters of the secret Demon Hunter group, supervised by the club's owner. Their job is to hunt and kill demons that have gone rogue and pose a threat to humans and to the exposure of demons to humans. Since demons glamour themselves to fit in with human society, demons that have lost their minds because of some great tragedy,(usually the loss of a life mate), will forget or be unable to hide their true appearance. They also go on killing rampages and only others of their kind can stop them.Colin is very attracted to his curvaceous neighbor, nurse Holly, but feels his job is too dangerous to bring a woman into it, also he's a Dom at the club, and doesn't know how Holly would like that life. When a friend gives Holly an invitation to a slave auction at an exclusive sex club, she feels like she has to go. She's always wanted to explore her submissive side and here's the perfect opportunity. Colin nearly has a heart attack when he sees her come in, but there's no way he's letting her go to the auction. He claims her on the spot. As they explore their sexual relationship, strange things start to happen to both of them, though, emotionally and physically. What in the heck is going on?Heat factor hot.
