Customer Reviews

Better than the reviews said

After reading the mixed reviews here I checked this one out of the library first, but ran out and bought my own as soon as I finished it. It was much better than I expected from comments from some reviewers. Yes, the two main characters cannot stand each other - which is what makes it so intriguing that they can't keep their hands off one another in private. I think their mutual dislike in public starts off as genuine but quickly becomes mostly a facade, as they don't want to admit that they misjudged one another. By the end, they are very romantic and that makes love scenes that had been merely erotic into ones that are more sensual and loving. Give this book a chance, you may be as pleasantly surprised as I was.

HOT, EROTIC AND MYSTICAL

The young, recently widowed Diandra, has promised her India-based bother, Hugh, that she will give their sister, Serena, a debutant season in London. Unfortunately, to accomplish this, she must request the assistance of her never-met stepson. However, her deceased husband's son, Justin, has other ideas. He believes that Diandra has killed his father for his money. He'll never assist her her in any way, but with a return ticket home. In fact, his plan is to prove that she's a murderer and have her arrested.The two meet and hostility is the order of the day. They each try to prove the other a fiend. In this fast-paced novel of superstituion, magic, malice and murder, the two begin to see each other in a different, more erotic light. There are the usual and unusual suspects. Who can be the culprit? The great thing about this book is that the thickening plot is highly anticipated and just as highly unimaginable.This book comes highly recommended for lovers of well-written eroticism, intrigue and suspense.

Outstanding

This is the best Thea Devine book that I have read. I read in less than a day. It is suspensful, erotic, and endearing. I would recommend anyone read the book. The hero and heroine and very well developed and the secondary characters add drama.

The Best Devine Book I've Read

This is the best book I've read by Ms. Devine. The characters are wonderful. The plot keeps you guessing to the every end. It has wonderfully erotic sex, a tormented hero and herione, wonderful secondary characters. An outstanding book

This was something different

A great and intriguing read, and should be classified as "romance/suspense." The characters are well drawn, the language clean and less florid than that of most Romance novels. I found the plot twisty and unusual and a surprise right to the end. To readers who like their stories sweet, I say, beware! This is not sweet in the least - Desire Me Only is hard edged, gritty, and very, very erotic. After reading it, I turned to Ms. Devine's earlier novels and was disappointed. Though her earlier novels are well written, the plots and characters are typical. In this story, the heroine is older, mature, and sure of herself - a refreshing change from the more insipid ingenues that populate many such novels. This is a break away book for the author in style and content. I encourage her to continue in this direction and eagerly await the next book.
