Remember in my review of My Shifter Showmance, the first in the Shifting Realities series, how I said R.G. Alexander’s erotic novellas are quirky? Yeah. My Demon Saint takes us past quirky and into…did I just read what I think I just read territory.My Demon Saint is the story of our favorite half-demon, Saint. He’s also known as Sinner in the online video game he created. He gets his demon rocks off by “connecting” to people as they play online, sinning and fighting and being not-themselves in an altered reality. The technophile of the three Showmance roommates, he’s constantly logging in – whether it’s by computer or his trusty Blackberry.With me so far?Through a chance encounter, Saint connects with Ume. Bedbound after a car accident left her physically damaged, she loves to play around in Saint’s game. Running, jumping, fighting…it’s become an addiction to her. And then one night she meets a warrior within the game.And that’s when things get a little outside my comfort zone.Let’s be blunt – the two characters have sex within the game though both people who are technically in control of those characters can actually feel everything happening to their characters. Got that? And then Ume gets pulled INTO the game…and we get to experience an altered-reality ménage. Like you do.Overall, the writing is pure R.G. Alexander – naughty and witty with pure heat behind those sex scenes. My issue with the novella had more to do with me being way outside my area of reference. And I mean because of the video game stuff.I don’t play video games – never have – so the whole world within the game and subculture is completely lost on me. I liked the novella but couldn’t relate as much as I wanted to. And I really wanted to – something about Saint makes me stand up and do the hair-flip-shoulder-lift-half-smile, you know? I still give this 3.5 stars for being naughty and spicey and all kinds of fun. Plus we got to see a lot of Liam.Mmmmmmm, shifter Liam. Love it!
