Review: Feminine yet strong female lead; fast paced, awesome, sexy romance

I love a female protagonist who can take care of herself and yet is still ultra-feminine, a little needy because of a past issue, but is willing to stand and fight, side by side with the man she grows to trust and love. This is what you have in Tegan Ashton. Four years after being attacked, she is shocked to find someone on the beach while she's watching her favorite webcam. It's her attacker and it looks like he's burying the body of a woman. Tegan goes to the police and they basically ignore her. So she decides to hire a private investigator. Enter Gabe. After hearing her story and seeing her scar, Gabe, a P.I. who happens to be a paranormal P.I. as well as a demon slayer, absolutely believes her and eventually tells her that he's a demon slayer. Together, these two build up some serious chemistry in the quest to hunt down the demon who attacked and marked Tegan.What I loved about this romance is that it wasn't cut and dry either. It wasn't a "ME DEMON SLAYER. I SLAY DEMON. WE HAVE SEX. DONE!" kind of paranormal romance. We have a little family history in Tegan's father who knows his Welsh family history, is totally accepting of "dragons", and helps with translations of an old family bible/journal of sorts that ends up becoming very important for Gabe and Tegan to vanquish the demon.Fast paced, great sexual tension, protagonists that ring true, this was a lovely way to spend an evening!Received my copy in exchange for an honest review - no compensation was given.
