The man of her fantasies belonged to another—her daughterSlim, lovely Laura Fox didn't look like the mother of a twenty-one-year-old, although her safe, predictable life—save the occasional run-in with her headstrong daughter--quite befitted that of a country matron.Her world turned upside down when she met Jake Lombardi. Was it simply lust for something she'd never had—or did this passionate man's potent sensuality savage her emotions and lay bare the unguarded hunger of her soul? She despised him for making her want him. And oh, how Laura wanted him. But he was too young, too rich . . . and involved with her own daughter! Views: 21
Under all my soft girl exterior and inner demon, turns out I'm more girl than demon. A stupid girl it would seem and this is my misadventure.*I just hope it's not my last...*Daria Pigwidgeon hasn't had an easy life. Not when she is the only demon born with a soul - and the only one to have grown up with a family of pure demons. All she ever known was pain and abandonment. Her family never let her forget that she was nothing but an abomination. So taking her life into her own hands, she flees hundreds of miles across the Country to start over. What she finds will change everything she ever thought she knew about herself.While learning the ways of regular humans, Daria relinquishes the lure of using her demon gifted abilities to remain anonymous in her new life. Of course, this only makes other things overly complicated like her feelings for her neighbor, Chance. He is the one person that can make her feel safe and terrified all at the same time. She has always known how to protect herself; she just never thought to protect her heart, especially when it comes to the unknown. Then there is the fact that her family found her somehow and won't take no for an answer. She struggles with remembering why she ran away from them in the first place. Suddenly her past is wrapped up into her present and sooner or later she'll have to make a choice, a choice that could change everything. When an unseen force starts following her around like a bad habit reeking of fear, Daria will have to take a good look at everyone that is around her. Her friends, her family, they all become suspect. Something is trying to kill her and even if it's the last thing she does, she'll find out a way to change her destined fate.Word Count: 115,543 (approximate)ReviewReview by: Dianne on December 16, 2011Daria is so painfully likeable, love her 'attitude' and resilience! There isn't a heavy paranormal thing going, but it is there, mostly through Daria's thoughts. The 'romantic tension' between the main characters is palpable.
