The Devil Inside by Sasha White
When straight-laced Caleb Mann’s girlfriend dumps him because he’s “unimaginative” and “boring” in the bedroom, he finally agrees to let his younger brother set him up on a blind date. But a case of mistaken identity soon has him playing pool in a gay bar with sexy psychic Gina Devlin, who easily convinces him he’s not dull. But can she convince him that her visions, and her love, is real?
Fun read, great characters with a heroine who is a touch too perfect. She is pretty, great style, flirty, fun, party girl and psychic to boot. Gina and Caleb are perfect in the way they are so not perfect for each other.
The end is a touch quick and the conflict is totally created by Gina. I admit to wanting to bop her on the head and soooooo don’t blame Caleb for walking out. But overall I enjoyed the characters. I look forward to the sequel, should be fun.
excerpt here…. If you want it, get it while it is hot! You can only buy the ebook from LSB until May 16th and then you have to WAIT until the print copy comes out I looked on the site but didn’t see when the book is set to come out. But this will be released with another antho (the brother’s story). I am guessing it comes out in 2008? Sasha… can you give us a title and a name?
So if you have this on the tbr epile… pull it out and read it! Otherwise, why am I posting this you ask? It really is rather mean of me I guess. But really I do it because I want it sent to me to read it for you, so now you know you need to watch for it! See I am nice like that!
was this one I should skip?
oddly enough I was thinking about this last night, uh this morning 😉
That I forgot a Jane Meter!
I think you would find the psychic stuff too hooky and a killing point. But the heroine is a strong female, nonvirgin type I think you would enjoy.
But I still shake my head over the ‘fight’ they have. It just seemed too much to expect that soon and some thing of a stupid female move.
But the characters together I like and I haven’t read much of this type of paranormal. I could see you rating it about a C ;).
Now you will have to read it some day and let me know *g*
I say skip the ebok Jane and wait for it to be released next year by Aphrodisia with the sequel as an all in one. 🙂 (Maybe try Gypsy Heart just re-released at Samhain *wink*)
TDI was my very first novella ever, and my first attempt to inetegrate paranormal aspects into a story. I stand by the fact that I LOVE Gina…but Obviously I didn’t get all of what was in my head onto the page the first time around.
When I wrote it, I wanted it to be a light sexy romp, and I think I accomplished that…but at the same timne..I’ve learned a lot in the two years since I wrote it. 🙂
I’m extremely excited to dig back into it and to write the sequel.
I’m loving the cover!
Krean, the cover totally suits the story. LOL
THE DEVIL INSIDE and it’s previously unpublished sequel DEVIL’s JEWEL will be released together in one book by Kensington Aphrodisia. The book is called Sexy Devils, and should be released in December 07. (Or that’s the tentivitve date)
Honestly, I HAD A BLADT writing the sequel…it’s way more paranomal and has a lot action, and a bit of suspense.
