Sweet Disgrace

review 1: Not as good as Sweet Disgrace, but definitely as captivating.The love story between a demon and a mortal is well written despite the short lengh and the paranormal aspects are well developed. As usual, Cherrie Lynn writtes sex scenes really well and here is no different. Ash and Maddy's story is gripping and it is a nice surprise to see an appearance of Celest & Damael who come to their help.
review 2: Actual rating = 4.5I love this book from the very beginning until the last word. At first, what draws me in was the premise: Ash (a demon) has stalked a soul (Maddie) through several centuries and reincarnations, and after bargaining with her degenerate father for her life, finally has her in his clutches. As a result, Maddie's life is pretty difficult: hallucina... moretions, super bad luck in life, and an ever present darkness shadowing her. So what happens when one night, instead of killing Maddie and taking her soul, Ash saves her from death? What happens when he only wants one night of passionate sexy times? What happens when one night turns into weeks? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HE FALLS IN LOVE WITH HER?!1. I know this is wrong, but I have a lot of love for Ash, even at the beginning. I guess it's because, from early on, it's clear that he loves Maddie. It's why he's stalked her for all this time, why he's willing to go to such lengths to have her forever. I enjoy watching the evolution of his feelings and his coming to realize that he's willing to do anything to Maddie.2. I LOVE Maddie. She's supposed to be the "good girl," but I like how that doesn't necessarily mean she's innocent. I mean, even Ash himself says Maddie looks beautiful in both light and darkness. Maddie is brave, optimistic, REALISTIC, and persistent. She doesn't let her rough childhood and sucky ex-boyfriend keep her from seeking out what she wants in life.FAVE SCENES: Ash and Maddie's first sexy times...SO HAWT.Ash chasing away Maddie's bad dreams.EVERY scene with Riam.Ash confessing to Maddie...HEARTBREAK.Ash repairing Maddie's soul.Maddie renouncing her claims on heaven and angle-hood for the chance to remain with Ash for eternity.Maddie literally bringing down the foundations of hell with the love she has for Ash.I really want to know more about Celeste and Damael, so I'll probably be reading Sweet Disgrace next.I 100%, wholeheartedly recommend this book. So well written, wonderfully compelling characters, and a captivating plot. The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is because I thought the ending was kinda abrupt...I WANT MORE! But I'll have to resettle for re-reading :) less
