Publisher Description
She's No Angel
A bodyguard? Why in the world would a demon need a bodyguard? Yes,
it's true Ellina Kostova is only half demon. . .and an author with a cult following, but that just
means strange stuff happens. She isn't in real danger. Heck, she's in more danger from Jude
Anthony, the guy her brother has hired to protect her. In big danger, actually. Because she just
cannot be attracted to. . .well, anyone. She's too much of a demon in bed. No, really.
Jude has grown accustomed to being an outcast, adrift in both the mortal and
preternatural worlds. Being a paid fighting machine isn't glamorous, but he does it--and many
other things--spectacularly well. And man does Ellina Kostova need a lot of protection. But he
needs protection, too. She's making him remember what it feels like to be human. And he's
already learned no good can come of that. Especially when he's been hired not only to protect
her--
but also kill her. . .
"Fangs for the Memories will make you laugh until milk
comes out of your nose. No, really."
--MaryJanice Davidson
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Adorably na ve and introverted half-demon author Ellina Kostova finds herself sharing her New Orleans home with vampire-werewolf bodyguard Jude Anthony, hired by her brother to protect her from a mysterious stalker. Mutual attraction blossoms, but arousal causes Ellina to sprout embarrassing horns and shiny red scales, while Jude is afraid to mix business and pleasure. Love (the Young Brothers series) sadly neglects the potential in the setting, where demons, vampires, and werewolves mix, humans can become supernaturals, and an immortal has mourned his family for 2,000 years. With a hunky bodyguard as a main character, readers will be disappointed by the lack of good supernatural fights, and the mystery also falls flat. The romance is cute and well paced and the principals are warm and engaging, but that can't compensate for the glaring flaws.
