I'm told Nethermire House is haunted, but the truth is even stranger.
Blurb
Nethermire is home to an eccentric 80-year-old and the young man she claims is her great-nephew.
Except he's not.
He's a demon.
Brin's chaotic, bratty ways draw me to him. When he calls me Daddy, I'm a goner. I want to protect him, take care of him, and call him mine.
But when he gets summoned to hell, our happiness is shattered.
Can I recall him to my side, or will I lose him forever?
Recalling My Demon is a standalone MM paranormal romance in the Possessive Love multi-author series. It has an age-gap relationship between a bratty demon who needs someone to love him more than he realises and an ex-priest who's now a Daddy.
Excerpt
“Nurse Ian.” He raises his thick, dark brows a fraction, his eyes sparkling as he smirks. “Mo—Martha has told me all about you.” His voice is soft, light, and playful.
“You’re her grand-nephew?”
“Brin.” He flicks his gaze over me. “You are gorgeous.”
I take a half step back. “Uh—”
“I shouldn’t have said that, should I?” He runs his thumb over his bottom lip. “I’d apologise, except it’s true. Hm, you are one gorgeous man.”
So is he. I swallow, needing to maintain my composure and remain professional. “Martha is through here.” I gesture to the lounge.
“She likes that room. Have you seen the rest of the house? I could give you a tour.”
“No, I haven’t.”
Brin flounces into the house, kicks his boots off, and wanders into the lounge. I follow in his wake. He leans down to kiss his great-aunt on the forehead, grabs a cake off the plate, and sits in a chair with one leg looped over the arm. He peels the case away from the cake and takes a big bite. Crumbs drop onto his chin, so he flicks his tongue out to lick them off.
“Ian is here to do my welfare check,” Martha explains.
“I guessed.” Brin stares at me as he devours the rest of the cake.
I can’t take my eyes off him.
“Don’t let me stop you from doing your job. I love watching a man in uniform work.” He winks.
“You’ll have to forgive him. My grand-nephew is a terrible flirt,” Martha says.
I scrabble to get the blood pressure monitor out of my bag and kneel beside Martha.
“A man in uniform on his knees. Sexy.”
“Brin,” Martha says, her tone not as sharp and short as I’d expect for a true admonishment.
“What? It’s true.”
Carra's Review
Brin is absolutely a naughty one. But in his defense, he really doesn’t know any better given his situation. He’s forthright and goes for what he wants. Ian is a bit more reserved, particularly given his background, but once he finally gives himself the green light, it’s a whole other ballgame.
I did find Brin to be a perfect fit for the role of a boy given his somewhat bratty nature, plus his relatively sheltered upbringing. Ian is just the right Daddy for him though, and while some may feel like things moved quickly for them, the story actually plays out over time . The two of them make an excellent match, both in the bedroom and out.
This story is pretty lighthearted and an easy, quick read. The bit of excitement comes in the last third once Brin is pulled back to hell, and Ian has to figure out how to get him back. If you go into this without the expectation of anything deep or profound, you’ll find yourself enjoying a playful boy and a Daddy trying to keep him in line.
At just over 200 pages, I read Recalling My Demon in an afternoon and found it to be a fun story. If you’re looking for something light and love a bratty, straightforward boy then this book will fit the bill. Recommended for readers 18+ for adult language and sexual content.
