Blurb: Remy Eschette has been a bad boy. So bad, in fact, that he’s attracted the attention of a class A Incubus with sex and contracts on his mind. Remy’s soul is up for grabs, and Deacon steps in with an offer Remy is better off not refusing. He can become his Hell Hound, his live-in servant, in exchange for his life.
Deacon Anderson is an immortal Incubus with no idea what it takes to make a commitment. Unfortunately, taking on a Hell Hound is the biggest commitment of all. Avoidance is the only viable option. But when Remy refuses to sleep with him until Deacon helps him right the wrongs of his past, the Incubus is faced with spending more and more time with him.
Love brings redemption, but both struggle with their respective sordid pasts. Time will tell what sacrifices they have to make in order to find a loving relationship in the new bargains they strike.

Review: This story is part of a series and is best read in order. Remy has been a bad, bad boy. He lies to get what he wants and picks up women for his bed, but his behavior and attitude are in response to being hurt five years ago by the man he loved. Now, his soul is up for grabs and to avoid Hell he accepts an Incubus contract to become a Hell Hound to Deacon, a Class A Incubus. Deacon jumped at the chance to take up Remy’s soul, determined to bring him to heel and enjoy the delights of gay sex. But, it backfires when Remy insists on a deal; he will sleep with Deacon, but only when Remy has fixed the mistakes of his past. But, falling in love was never part of the deal, and they both have to make a sacrifice in order to finally be together.
This is a great story where a different sort of Incubus Contract is entered into. Remy was hurt by his Moon Mate when he caught him cheating. Since then Remy has slept his way through as many women as he could. hurting them with his callus behavior and devil-may-care attitude. Finding himself in the position of an Incubus Contract or Hell, Remy takes the easier option and is handed over to Deacon. Deacon is pleased to get Remy’s contract and sets out to prove that Remy will be his. But, it is harder than he thought it would be when he begins to have feelings for Remy. But, to admit his love would mean becoming mortal.
I really enjoyed this story and loved the clashes and conflicting feelings that both Remy and Deacon have. Both characters are very interesting and even though Remy comes across as an Alpha, he also has submissive feelings that Deacon draws out. The storyline is really good and I thought Remy’s mumblings and grumblings were funny. Deacon’s sacrifice is sweet and the two together are a great match. This story is well written and gives a different sort of Incubus Contract that was quite imaginative, there’s some slight D/s and some really hot sex and a whole load of love.
I will recommend this to those who love the paranormal, some great twists, stubborn men, hot sex, falling in love and a happy ending.
