Charmed, I'm Sure: A Demon Holiday Romance

This is the story of Asmodeus, a demon from Hell, now known as Allan D’Allesandro and Belinda, a witch whose female family line was cursed to never have a lifelong love. It is book 2 in the Devil You Know series by Christine Pope. I was fortunate to be provided an ARC of this book in return for an honest review. I liked this book but didn’t love it probably because I have a strong faith and initially with this book and the first in the series “Sympathy for the Devil” I had to get over the fact that I was reading about the Devil and a demon from Hell involved in romantic relationships. Both books started out a little slow but they both really picked up. I was routing for both heroes midway thru both books. Ms Pope does a great job of conveying the angst Belinda lives with regarding her curse and its consequences. She also shows Allan’s character growth from his assumption it won’t be that hard to find love before his New Year’s Eve deadline to return to Hell and actually falling in love. I also must say that God’s appearances in both books were how I would like to envision God and his interactions with us mere mortals. I am looking forward to how the author manages to transform Beelzebub into a romantic lead in the next book…I pretty much wanted to drop kick him back to Hell multiple times in both books.

Charmed, I’m Sure is the second book in the Devil You Know series. It’s a charming (pun intended) feel good romance. This can be read as a stand alone, you don’t need to have read the first book. It’s a great read for anyone who likes somewhat forbidden romance stories, as is the case with Allan and Belinda. He’s the devil who meets and falls for his soulmate, while she’s the witch whose family has been cursed to lose the ones who love them. It’s a great book that was full of heartbreak and romance. As always, Christine has created characters in a world that just make you fall in love. This is a definite good read and one that I recommend. I did receive an ARC but this has no effect on my review.

Charmed, I’m Sure by Christine Pope is the second in her The Devil You Know series. I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Note: this review contains spoilers! This has to be one of the most unique romance books I’ve read. You don’t have God coming down too often and making deals with demons. Telling them that they can become mortal and stay out of hell if they can fall in love with a mortal woman and have her fall in love with them. The only catch is they have one year to do it. Asmodeus, or Allan, likes living on earth. It’s much better than hell! But the lady he was counting on ditches him the first of December and he doesn’t have much time to find a replacement. Belinda is an event planner and a witch. And cursed. If she loves a mortal man, something terrible will happen to him. So when Allan suggests they have a relationship for the two weeks until New Year’s eve, she agrees. She can’t fall in love with him that fast can she? But he can’t tell her he’s a demon and she can’t tell him she cursed. Can they used to searching for love actually find it before New Year’s Eve? You’re going to have to read the book in order to find out! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I look forward to the next book in the series.
