Hope is fixated on finding her sister and will go to any
lengths to find her, even making a deal with the Devil.
Archangel Gabriel is soon involved and learns that to keep
his possibly dangerous power safe, he might have to become
human. Sammy, an angel who fell due to desire for a human,
is convinced that he is not the only angel who can fall for
a human...Gabriel better watch his back.
Sammy and Gabriel were brothers and Gabriel still reserves
the right to needle Sammy to try to convince him to recant
his bad ways. Sammy is happy that he now has the chance to
heckle the human Gabriel into falling in love. If a reader
is expecting Gabriel to lose his angelic ways right away,
the reader may be disappointed. Terri Garey handles the idea
of an archangel falling in love very well. Gabriel is
portrayed as more of a romantic than just sexy. He isn't one
of those guys who charms of a woman and then tosses her to
the side when he is done with her.
Hope is a good character even though at times it may seem as
if Gabriel may overshadow her, but she is often sweet, kind,
and caring. God is not portrayed as an angry Being, but
rather a more benevolent One who understands. The ending was
not be quite what I was expecting, but I certainly
appreciated the twists and surprises. A DEVIL NAMED DESIRE
is cute, charming and downright enjoyable.
In the second spin-off of the RITA Award-winning Nicki Styx
series, Terri Garey takes
another look at the dark side of history's original and most
diabolical bad boy--Sammy
(Satan) Divine--as he sets out to prove to his old friend,
the archangel Gabriel, that
when forbidden fruit comes in the form of a woman, it can be
very hard to resist. Garey
is also the author of Devil Without a Cause, the first
volume in this series.
