This is a charming story about Jill, a writer for an e-magazine, who feels virtually invisible. One night, Jill stumbles into a late night shoe store called "Kinky Boots," run by a very desirable man, Finn, who sells her a pair of boots. From that night forward, Jill is saying and doing things she always wanted, but never felt brave enough, to do. Finn thinks he knows the reason for the change in Jill--she is possessed by a sexy demon, Eleanor. Indeed, Eleanor has taken up residency within Jill's body, and Jill seems to like it, a lot. Finn assures her that Eleanor cannot make Jill do anything she really does not want to do, but he'll protect her just in case things go to far. One of the things Jill wants is Finn, and he feels the same way about her. Eleanor doesn't seem to mind as things heat up between Finn and Jill. However, Finn begins to worry that Eleanor is the real reason why Jill wants him. He also fears what will happen to Jill when Eleanor leaves her body. They have to take a chance to find out.This story is about overcoming one's insecurities to become the person she is always meant to be. Sometimes, all that is necessary to achieve this goal are words of encouragement from the right person. In this case, what was needed was the right pair of boots. I do not usually read PNR books, but I found this one to be delightful. It has many of the elements I enjoy reading, such as likable characters who care about each other and show it in some hot, steaming scenes. What I enjoyed most, however, was reading about Jill's discovery of her inner strength and confidence. Were the qualities always in her, or were they really a result of her new boots and Eleanor?KD Grace is a critically acclaimed writer of erotic romance novels, and it is easy to see why critics like her stories after reading this book. I know I will be reading another one of her novels, The Pet Shop, next.I received this book as a review copy in return for an honest review.
