The third book in the Immortally Sexy series by Stephanie Rowe. We were introduced to the main character Becca Gibbs briefly in the previous book in the series. She is Satan’s right hand woman and she is growing tired of her job. Not exactly the kind of boss she can give two weeks notice too though.
The love interest in this book is played by Nick Rawlings. He is the last of the Markku - a race of fighters that broke free from Hell to do good stuff rather than bad. His sister goes missing and the ransom is the death of Satan. Not something he’s opposed to doing - but it does pit him against Satan’s right hand woman....Becca Gibbs. Oh yeah!
I think these books are so fun! And they get better as you go. The first one was a little rough around the edges - but stick with them - the writing gets better and the plot more in depth and interesting.
The only complaint I have is that the main characters are a little hard to differentiate between sometimes. I feel like a little more individuality could be given to each character.

I normally wouldn't read the third book in a series without reading the first two, but it appears I picked this up at a library used book sale without realizing it was part of a series. Even though I felt a slight bit lost at first, I quickly got into the briskly-paced, humorous paranormal romance. It had a dragon, a Rivka (female servants of Satan who collect the souls of evil people who deserve it and take them to hell), a half-Markku (a warrior race that once worked for hell, but then rebelled) half-healer, and an apprentice Rivka. The Rivka, Becca, is afraid to get attached to anyone because if Satan finds out she cares about someone she might harm them. Nick, the Markku/healer, needs Becca to help him save his little sister, who will die unless Nick assassinates Satan. Becca has her own purpose for using Nick - she desires her own life force, separate from Satan. Inevitably, Nick and Becca go from using each other to loving each other (because that's how paranormal romances work, right?). Even though that plotline was predictable, it was still an amusing journey, especially when Nick and Becca had healing-bonding sex. This was a fun book, and if someone wanted to start the Immortally Sexy series with the first one, [b:Date Me, Baby, One More Time|225142|Date Me, Baby, One More Time (Immortally Sexy, #1)|Stephanie Rowe|http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1344268945s/225142.jpg|218053], I wouldn't discourage him or her.

When being bad is oh-so-good...!
Becca and Nick are such a dynamic couple! I read this story during any spare moment I had; I literally could not put it down. (I do suggest being current on the series' plotline just so you know all of the characters mentioned.) I love how Becca and Nick have a connection that transcends the concepts of good and evil. They work together to solve the mystery of who wants to kill the Devil, and in turn Nick's sister! But, like all of Stephanie Rowe's protagonists, the heroine is a strong leader who isn't shadowed by an equally strong yet supportive hero. I love her dynamics! Definitely a great read you won't regret!

Becca is Satan’s favoured one, his right hand woman. He also loves to torture her, as he does all his Rivka's. Satan as we know is a few sandwiches short of a picnic! His continued attempts to steal Mona highlight that! But now that he has reunited with his one true love he'll mellow - right?
Becca is sick of being a Rivka, she wants out and she is just about desperate enough to link herself to an immortal goldfish. Yes, a goldfish! But before she can outsmart Satan she is delivered back into his control. But now she has the added torture of training an apprentice. One who is like Suzie Sunshine but with a slavish devotion to Satan. Unlike Becca and her apartment, she has no buffer from what Satan MAKES her do and what she WANTS to do.
Nick is one of the few Markku left. He's on duty with Satan jnr and after an attempt is made to free him, he decides to divide and conquer and takes a chuck of the frozen ass home with him for safety. Nick's sister has managed to get herself into a jam and he needs Becca's help to kill Satan and free his sister.
What a great read. Satan is absolute nutcase. He sees torture and friendship as the same thing. I love that Becca's soul just refuses to go over the edge into the abyss. She also has the temperament of a saint cos that apprentice would be smoky hole in the floor if I had to deal with her! Nick has a great attitude and personality and he does do his best to get everyone out of the holes they have found themselves in.
I cannot wait to see what happens next!

I really loved this book! I’ve been waiting to read Becca’s story since she was first introduced. She is supposed to be the worst of the worst, but she can’t seem to be what is expected. Nick is delicious. He is so alpha and sweet. Together they head out to save the world. As always, Satan is hilarious. He steals every scene he is in. Theresa is also back and as sarcastically funny as usual. You will love this book!
