(Source: I received a digital copy of this book for free on a read-to-review basis. Thanks to Entangled publishing and Netgalley.)Jax and his twin Chase are descended from Cain, and Jax lives with a demon inside him who constantly urges him to kill his brother. Throw in a gorgeous girl for the boys to argue over and there is even more trouble.Which brother does Sam (Samantha) really like? And can she learn to live with his demon?This was an okay story, but I liked the sexual tension more than any other part of the story.I liked Jax, and I liked his struggle with the demon. I liked how overcome he was around Sam, and how she was the one thing that really pushed his buttons.Sam was an interesting character, and I liked how she managed to get past her issues to realise how much she wanted Jax.I liked the storyline in this book, but what really made it interesting for me was the spark between Jax and Sam. I loved their flirting, and I loved the constant tension of ‘will they, won’t they?’. I did get a little frustrated with how long we had to wait for some saucy scenes, but when we eventually got there things got pretty steamy, and even a little bit kinky.The rest of the book wasn’t so good for me though, I didn’t really appreciate the humour, the intro was a bit rocky, and I found it difficult to really get into the story. The fact that Sam’s surname was Merrick only kept making me think of the Merrick brothers from the Elemental series, and little things irritated me like the use of terms such as ‘eye-humping’ and ‘cougaring it up’.I can’t say I was all that impressed with the ending either, although we did get a bit of an interesting little twist. I would like to see these characters get a happy ending though, even if that means two more books.Overall; okay story with some interesting sexual tension.6.75 out of 10.
