Demon You Love by L.A. Fiore

4.0

Demon You Love is a story that I assumed would be your typical romantic suspense/revenge story when I first started reading it. Those are two things that may still be used to describe it, but what I got was so much more than that. L. A. Fiore's writing is phenomenal, and she crafted a story that was much more complex than my initial assumption. It's about following your dreams, overcoming your past, the importance of letting love into your life, and maybe more than anything, family.

Anton and Piper are both relatable characters that will undoubtedly steal your heart within the first few pages. They were dealt a shitty hand in life, but what they do with it is nothing short of impressive. Some may have given up, but that's just not in them. These characters are broken but strong. They not only fight for themselves but for the people they love. Anton and Piper didn't just make the best out of what they were given, they obliterated their own expectations, achieved things that they never thought possible, and helped others to do the same.

The romance in this book is refreshing in more ways than one. There were no stupid arguments over miscommunications, because they *shocker lol* actually talked things out.  They listened to each other's opinions and took one another's concerns seriously without throwing their pride into the mix. Anton and Piper are both strong individuals that aren't afraid to be vulnerable in front of each other. They never worry that opening up will make them appear weak. The respect and love they have for one another is evident throughout the story, and because of that, there is no unnecessary drama. I can't tell you how great it was to read about a couple that wasn't constantly getting in their own way.

Demon You Love is my first read by L. A. Fiore, but it's the second book in the Lost Boys series. You can certainly read this book without reading the first one, but I would advise against it. I obviously enjoyed the story, but I can't help but think I would have loved it even more if I knew more about the history of all of the characters. Either way, definitely give this book a try if it peaks your interest. It's a well written, sexy romance with complex characters that will surprise you with their strength, vulnerability, and rationale.

Romantic suspense fans and romance readers that need a break from angst, this one's for you!
