This was a whole lot of book packed down into a novella-sized package. Human Catalina takes the demon's bargain and ends up committing to seven years with the tentacliest-tentacle man in tentacle town. She's been emotionally abused her whole life by her mother and has never had success with relationships before. She's a prickly cactus with a soft fragile center. Kraken Thane lost his husband years ago and has never truly worked through his grief, and he has no interest in starting anything with the human he's stuck with. He's cold and stern and insensitive until his protective streak is activated.

As with the previous book, I thought they jumped right to the boinking rather quickly, given their respective emotional states. I could have done with a full-length slower burn, myself.
