The Sexorcist is the third story in the Karmic Consultants series and the second full length novel in the series.  Although there are major characters interweaved from the first two stories, it is not necessary to read them, although I would at least recommend the Ghost Exterminator, the only other full length novel since it's hysterical.  The premise of the Karmic Consultants is that they are a firm of specialists that deal with supernatural problems or require supernatural abilities such as exterminating ghosts, banishing demons, or finding missing objects or people.  Regardless of the questionable title, this book and series overall is pure indulgence and great chemistry.Brittany Hylton VanDeere is a sheltered only child socialite who's never had a chance to live.  She has been flirting with death her entire life with a congenital heart defect, but ten years ago, she had a successful heart transplant and has since been experimenting with the right dose of drugs to help her lead a normal life.  At 25, she desperately wants to live life to the fullest with a job and boyfriend but her loving parents are extremely overprotective and treat her like a porcelain doll.  Behind her parent's back, she applies for the secreterial position at Karmic Consultants.  Familiar with the bizarre, she believes this is The One Job for her, except she doesn't have any working skills to speak of.  During her interview, it's pretty clear she's not going to get the job except that disaster strikes Lucy's (first book) wedding plans and Brittany as a wealthy socialite knows everything there is to know about coordinating events.  She gets the temporary position with the caveat that she helps out with the wedding plans, but her work is cut out for her since it's being deliberately derailed by a demon.Enter Karmic Consultant, demon banisher and Mexican Hottie, Luis Rodriguez.  He's sick and tired of being treated like a cabana boy sex toy for desperate housewives and to him Brittany falls somewhere in that category with a healthy dollop of outhouse rat crazy and he wants nothing to do with her.  He agrees to look after her and her suspicious demon attacks until after the wedding, but makes sure Brittany knows that no interoffice romances are allowed to discourage her advances and push her eyes back into her head.  As they work together to thwart attack after attack on the wedding plans, they get to know one another and not only is there an electric attraction, but they have a whole lot more to form a real relationship.Once again, Vivi Andrews proves to be delightfully witty and laugh out loud funny with her dialogue and storyline.  I was really worried when Brittany is introduced since she seemed to be missing way more than a few bricks shy of a house and started panicking that this could be the worst character ever, but it really works and Brittany is simply delightful with her naive and limited view of how the world really is.  Needless to say, she gets a dose of reality that is way more than the doctor orders, but the journey is a wild and fun ride.
