Fourth in the Georgina Kincaid urban fantasy series revolving around a succubus, Georgina, who is based in Seattle with a job as manager at a bookstore.
The Story
Jerome is so angry with Georgina that he's loaned her out to a rival demon in Vancouver to help quash a cult of Satanists who are making evil look bad. Yeah, who knew??!
Then Georgina loses her powers—she can't shapeshift new clothes, accessories. She even has to do her own hair…and she had no idea it got so dang frizzy! All her friends have lost their powers. Peter and Cory can walk out in daylight. Hugh can't sense people's souls. And no one can find Jerome.
No. One. Can find Jerome. Not even his fellow demons. It can only mean a summoning. By someone powerful enough to take down Jerome. It had to be a human and a demon working together. And there are so many possible suspects.
Caught between concern for Jerome and the sudden realization that her succubus powers will no longer drain life from Seth, Georgina gets a bit crazy trying to do as much of both as possible never realizing the other effect Seth's cheating can have on his soul.
The Characters
Georgina Kincaid is a succubus with a heart…usually. But after her breakup with Seth (Succubus Dreams), Georgina's been taking her anger out on as many decent guys as she can. It's making a huge plus pile for her with Jerome but the minus is making everyone around her nuts. It's so bad that Jerome has insisted that Georgina see a therapist for her broken heart.
Jerome is the archdemon in charge of Seattle and its surroundings, right on up to the Canadian border. Cedric is his counterpart up in Vancouver, BC. Jerome's assistants are Mei and Grace, demons who dress exactly alike. Cedric's assistant is Kristin who is painfully in love with her boss.
Seth is Georgina's favorite author as he writes the Cady and O'Neill series. He's now seeing Maddie, Doug's sister, both employees at the bookstore, Emerald City Books and Café. Worse, Seth likes to write in the bookstore's café.
Georgina's particular coterie of friends includes Hugh (an imp) and Peter and Cody (vampires). Dante is her current boyfriend; it's safe sex with Dante as he hasn't much soul to lose. Roman is a nephilim—half-Immortal, half-human—and Jerome's son. Nephilim are to be killed on sight and yet he's overly eager to help Georgina find his father and free him.
My Take
Oh wow. This was both so incredibly sad and so amazing. And too many people in love with Georgina. So much hurt spreading itself around.
I do rather like Cedric's obsession with dating…
The Cover
Ooh, that's a very knowing and evil look on Georgina's face on this cover as she glances out at us wearing a sleeveless deep red dress with a bicep cuff on her left arm. Odd sort of background. The left side is bricks while the right side is circles of fuzzy reds.
The title, Succubus Heat, has me a bit confused. For most of the book, Georgina has no heat as a succubus although she does get rather heated with Seth.

Oh Georgina. You should know better. For an immortal, you certainly get your hopes up really high about things and then they all come crashing down. Honestly, I used to really love Seth, but he's starting to fade from my that affection. I think there was just too much betrayal in this book for me to be ok with it all. Sure, I like Seth and Georgina together, but it's just not in the cards for them, sorry to say it. Everytime they get together, they screw over someone else, like Maddie or Dante. And I feel bad for the people around them that get caught in the aftermath. Sigh! But I do love Dante, I hope I haven't seen the last of him after the battle to free Jerome. And I don't care if it's real or not, Jerome and Carter are a thing in my head. I'll reserved judgement on Roman's presence until I've seen more of it, but thus far, I don't hate him being back. Ugh, all these men. This book should be called the brodeo series.

It is becoming very clear that this series is one of my favorites. Again, I started this book and never put it down until I finished.
There are so few books where you really wish you could live inside that book. Whether you were just a by-stander or actually a character. And my-oh-my do I ever wish I could be Georgina. Okay, maybe not so much all the drama and craziness that she gets herself wrapped up into, but Seth. Ugh, I LOVE HIM!!
There were so many different angles of this story that I didn't predict anything. Normally I tend to sort my "bad" characters from the "good" ones. More or less, picking the one I think is behind all the madness but I was honestly blindsided. I never expected those things to happen.
Along with more craziness and more love and heartbreak, I can't even come to terms with writing a long review with every aspect of what I loved, what I hated, what shocked me etc etc. Words can't even begin to reveal how much I love this series.
My hope for Seth and Georgina will never die.

Loved this one’s supernatural plot but Georgina pining over Seth was annoying
