Not Your Average Hot Guy
by Gwenda Bond
Bond's romantic comedy is an inventive take on the usual opposites attract trope. As the daughter of the owner of an escape room enterprise (fun idea!), she's anxious to handle things while her mom's out of town. But before she and her best friend Mag know it, they're inundated with a Satanic cult that wants to use a fake spell book they have in one of their rooms (it's not fake, it's real!) to summon a demon from hell--who turns out to be hot and snarky Luke Morningstar (the son of the Devil). As expected, sparks fly between Callie and Luke while they work with Mag to stop the cult from ending the world as they know it.
I loved the banter between Luke and Callie and the overall plot...I just felt like it dragged a bit. Over 300 pages was too long for the story. And although Luke and Callie do have a banter, I felt like the romance between them was lukewarm at best (sorry, pun not intended). They seemed more like friends than hot-as-hell lovers. Loved the nonbinary rep with Mag, though. Overall a cute story and warmish couple, but not a best-of book of the genre.
