The Demon Duke and I is the first paranormal romance that I’ve read from Marian Tee and I have to say that she does not disappoint.  You can tell that she put a lot of thought into this.  The story takes place in a world separate from our own that you can get to, though not easily.  Marian didn’t just put demons and such into a story, she made them their own world; complete with a hierarchy of rulers, society norms and their own set of rules to live by.  There are class structures, legends and amazingly enough; demons other than the normal ones you always see like vampires.  Plus this new world is set up like something from the 1800′s where there is no technology and frankly they like it that way.So take a woman from our time, our world, and have her suddenly be a ward to her aunt in theirs and watch the hilarity ensue.  Georgina (George for short) has a potty mouth from hell in a place where women never swore so can you say duck out of water?  But somehow she makes it work.  Though that could be part in fact that she ends up being the heartkeeper of one very sexy, very important Demon Silviu.  Not only does she end up his heartkeeper, which everyone thought were just myths, but she saves his life, and proceeds to  swear her way into his heart and the hearts of his closest friends as well.  Her modern beliefs tend to clash with their outdated ones and she isn’t afraid to go toe to toe with a group of Demons that naturally instill fear in the hearts of everyone else.  The plot thickens with an aunt who turns out to be an super-duper evil witch and Marian, yet again, teases you mercilessly with cliffhangers about George’s past.  Which becomes painfully clear that she is not your normal everyday modern woman when you get a glimpse of the family members she left behind, when they come for her at the end of the story.  Guess that means I’ll just have to reread this one to pass the time, and really that’s no hardship.  Marian keeps things steamy between her lovers while making you laugh and thoroughly enjoy yourself.  4 Stars!
