Delightful fantasy romance!

Jessaline Nolan has spent most of her life fighting her father and suffering the consequences. When she vows that she would rather marry a `demon' from Dunmore rather than the man her father is forcing her to marry, her wish comes true in the form of Lord Llewellyn Dunmore. Instantly attracted to and promising to be a good wife, particularly in the bedroom, Jessaline has no idea how much Llewellyn will come to mean to her, especially when their marriage is threatened by outside forces. Llewellyn Dunmore has spent his life watching his father go from woman to woman. He knows no different and so he puts his knowledge to use by seducing anything in skirts. He is happy and content to love women and leave them until he comes face to face with a red haired beauty vowing she would rather marry a Dunmore than the man handpicked by her father. Vowing to not disappoint the lady, Llew marries her, but not before exacting a promise from her giving him full control of their nocturnal activities. Llewellyn has no idea that he has just found the one woman to sooth the demon. Lord Demon's Delight was in essence a delight to read. I loved the premise and especially how the two characters met. I found myself laughing at the antics of Llew's brothers, mostly because they couldn't understand how Llewellyn could succumb so easily to one woman. Add three crabby and mischievous fairy godmothers and my reading was filled with love and laughter. I found Jessaline to be Llew's perfect mate. Innocent but fiery, she threw this tough man for a loop and I loved watching her ensnare him completely. Lord Demon's Delight is the first book I have ever read by Gia Dawn and it won't be the last. I am officially hooked on the Demons of Dunmore series, and I can't wait for the next installment. Lucky for me, I only have to wait a couple more months until the second book releases called, Lady Strumpet. Natalie S.

Llewellyn and Jessaline

Four generations ago the Lords of Dunmore (commonly referred to as the Demons of Dunmore) were banished from the church. Since then no male Dunmore has married. Llewellyn and his brothers are the last in line with title to the Dunmore lands and they revel in their freedom. On a ride into town Llewellyn hears a woman screaming that she would rather marry a demon of Dunmore that the man her father has chosen for her. Llewellyn, curious and looking for a challange, enters the church where the 2 women are and offers the beautiful young woman an explicit proposition. He whispers in her ear exactly what he wants her to do sexually with his body. As Jessaline looks into this mans eyes she makes him swear to never beat her, then gives her consent. Llewellyn turns to the priest and demands he perform the wedding ceremony immediately (because both Jessalin and Llewellyn know that her father could appear at any moment). Once the ceremony is completed Llewellyn whisked Jessaline away on his horse. Upon arriving at Dunmore keep Jesseline is horrified at the pigstye Llewellyn and his brothers have been living in and is determined to at least clean the bedroom before her new husband consummates his wedding vows. Unbeknownst to Jessaline, Llewellyn has no intention of taking her maidenhead for he fully intends to have the marriage annuled as soon as he can assure her safety from her cruel family. But there are many other enticing ways they can enjoy each other sexually and each encounter cracks Llewellyn's controll a little at a time, because Jessaline is learning a few tricks of her own. Can Llewellyn keep Jessaline safe from her family and then just walk away? Can Jessaline seduce Llewellyn into consummating the marriage? Or will her psychopathic father tear them apart forever? Read this book and find out how this all plays out. If I had one word to descript this book it would be "decadent". I found the story interesting and Llewellyn and Jessaline really heated the pages (my favorite scene was in the saloon). I found this to be a highly erotic read with a great romance built in. I highly recommend this book and I will be checking out more books from this author.

DELIGHTED

I really enjoyed this story and look forward to the stories of the brothers. I loved the plot and how things worked out for the lead characters. Love conquers all sort of thing, but it was an interesting way to get to the end! I could not put it down.
