Synopsis (Goodreads):
Nancy has just about given up on finding her special person when Jack Jackson—big, scary and the town loser—walks into her bookstore. He’s apparently even more desperate for help in the romance department than she is. And after a bit of gentle persuasion, he finally accepts her guidance in securing his dream girl. Practice dates, lessons in tenderness—you name it, she can teach it.Thoughts on Dealing with a Desperate Demon: Nancy's in a bit of a pickle. After accidentally embarrassing Jack in her bookstore, she makes an effort to reach out to the surliest resident in town. Which...doesn't quite go as she thought. After all, she got a peek at the inside Jack's ramshackle cabin, got to see him in only a towel, and incited his legendary temper. Which sent her beating feet and resulted in an accident when she spotted something that absolutely shouldn't exist.
There’s just one problem: his dream girl might have more than an issue with his dating skills. Because Jack isn’t just a little clueless; he’s actually the demonic son of Satan, from the deepest depths of hell. He’s spent his entire long underlife dragging evildoers to their fates, while really trying not to live up to his Dad’s expectations.
Now, it isn’t just about getting a date with his dream girl. He needs to become a better man to win over the woman he’s been cosmically bound to, in a Beauty and the Beast style pact. If he fails, everyone he cares for will face a terrible fate. Luckily for him, Nancy may well be the witch she’s always tried to pretend she wasn’t. She can save him, he knows it—and she’s starting to know it too. Even if every day spent with him is an agonising reminder that she isn’t the girl he’s fated for.
But as the deadline approaches she’s starting to wonder... Could it be that she’s finally found her Prince? Or is she about to lose her heart to hell?
When Jack came to her assistance after the accident, suddenly Nancy starts seeing him in a whole new lights. He's a little awkward, has a house she could easily love, and isn't nearly as terrifying once she starts spending time with him. In fact, the more time Nancy spends with Jack, the more she starts wondering what it would be like to kiss him. Among other things.
On Jack's end, he's completely clueless about how humans interact. He also has a deadline looming over him that he's starting to think he might not meet. Because becoming the type of man a woman would want to spend the rest of her life with seems like an insurmountable task. He keeps trying, mind you, because the lady in question is worth it, but figuring out all the intricacies of dating and living in the human world is a lot harder than he expected.
A little witchy power, a sassy familiar, complicated family dynamics (even when the parents aren't around), friendship, a demon trying his best to be a good human male, and a lady who has to figure out how to unbury a part of herself that's been pushed down before it's too late. SO GOOD!
