Paranormal Romance

Devin James wields a demon blade or more truthfully the demon rules him. The bond is soul deep and the source of his power but he struggles in his efforts in TAMING THE DEMON. The blade, which can go from pocket knife to long sword in a moment, and Devin patrol the streets of Albuquerque searching to help those in trouble. Natalie Chambers meets Devin when he comes to her rescue after a couple of thugs attack her. Not running like hell is something she marks up as another bad decision but she can't leave him. She also needs his help because someone out there is after her when all she was doing is following her boss's requests. There are a number of problems this couple will need to work through and one the biggest is why Natalie seems to be a target. A target that is meant to draw Devin and his demon blade out. On purpose or a total coincidence? Devin doesn't believe in coincidences. TAMING THE DEMON is a different kind of paranormal. There are no vampires or werewolves but once you get started you will not even miss them. Devin and Natalie are a couple with problems of their own but together ... on my. This is a fantastic read for anyone looking for a good guy, girl in trouble and a demon blade that will help to defeat the bad guy. Sounds simple but this is a very complex storyline that will keep you from putting it down. It starts out with a bang and just keeps going until the final page where all the secrets are spelled out. Author Doranna Durgin writes what we want to read.

SUMMARY

Their passion threatens her life and his tortured soul.… Devin James wields a demon blade. Or does the demon blade wield him? The bond between man and steel is soul deep, the source of Devin's power and an ever-present torment. Struggling against the evil forged within the blade, Devin patrols the dark streets of Albuquerque, searching for innocents to rescue. That's how he finds Natalie Chambers…. Natalie is sure that helping Devin is another in a long series of very bad decisions, but she can't abandon the man who saved her life—a man who believes that the demon blade might turn him into a monster. And she is powerless to resist their fierce attraction. Love is their only chance at salvation. Can they now find the courage to take that chance? And can they keep the blade from the man who would destroy them both?
