HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME NOT

Author: Stephanie Rowe ISBN: 0446619019 5/2007 PARANORMAL Publisher: WARNER

Her heart may be in the right place...but her soul belongs to Satan. Being Satan's most infamous minion is the only life Becca Gibbs has ever known. But now she's restless, sick and tired of stealing souls, and ready to break free on her own. Unfortunately, this gig isn't like any other job. Its first rule: Walk out on the Devil-and kiss your life good-bye. Nick Rawlings is the last of the Markku, a race of fighters that broke from Hell to pull for the good. When his sister goes missing, and her ransom is the death of Satan, Nick's more than willing to take on the fight. The first step? Getting the devil's sexy right-hand helper on his side. The second? Well, if he can take his eyes-and hands-off of her, he's sure he'll think of it...

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

I have been waiting for Becca's story, and thankfully, Stephanie Rowe didn't make me wait long. HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME HOT is the third book in Rowe's highly entertaining Goblet Of Eternal Youth series. Having had the opportunity to have read all three of these books, you can believe me when I say that this book is just as good as the other two, DATE ME BABY ONE MORE TIME and MUST LOVE DRAGONS.

I love Stephanie Rowe's writing style. Her mixture of contemporary and paranormal, along with some hearty sex, is perfect. Not only that, her books are funny—really funny. The characters and plots are unique and they keep you wanting more. Lucky for us, Rowe is happy to oblige!

HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME HOT follows Becca Gibbs, Satan's favorite minion, on her quest to break free from doing his evil deeds and start to live life to the fullest. However, for Becca, her freedom is going to come at a very costly—and not-to mention, humorous price—from having to train a replacement, to falling for Nick Rawlings, a sexy Markku. Becca and Nick are so bad that they're good together!

Aside from Becca and Nick, there's an array of other great characters in HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME HOT. My favorite is Satan. Rowe seems intent on making him a bit more "human" in this book. It works, and you can't help but feel sorry for the guy.

What can I say? Stephanie Rowe once again wrote a book that will interest the paranormal and romance reader. HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME HOT is a truly entertaining book. A definite recommended read! If you haven't read the other two books in the series, I recommend them, as well.
