Review: Steamy demon sex and a little mystery to boot

This was one of my first ventures in to reading erotic fiction and it has only awakened my appetite for more. I've never been a fan of pure romance books - they leave me wanting more, and this novella had enough of a central mystery behind it to keep my attention happily divided between the mystery and the steamy sex.The author does a very good job of building the world quickly while not simply laying out everything that the reader needs to know as a textbook. Bits and pieces are dolled out appropriately, where they should go, and by the end, the reader has a very solid understanding of the motivations of the demons and the humans. I would possibly have liked to see a few more sentences on the Fae, but that would be my only complaint, and as the focus of the novella is the relationship between demons and humans, this is totally forgivable.But this is erotic fiction. You don't necessarily read this sort of book for the dialog (though the dialog here is perfectly acceptable). You read it for the sex. There is plenty of sex here and it is done very well. The author varies her language, and doesn't resort to overuse of what I find some of the less than inventive terms for the various parts of the male and female body. The sex is... very well done, and there is plenty of it, both graphically described and implied.The female character here is not a vapid sex toy, but has a spirit in her that makes her strong and respectable. The demon seems evil at first (he is a demon after all), but through the story, he evolves and by the end, my opinion of him changed dramatically.I look forward to the next two books in this series.
