Lucifer's Game Paperback – May 4, 2018

Usually I'm not a big fan of paranormal types of books or steamy reads, but, since I loved Tamayo's other book, Crazy Love, I gave this book a shot and I'm glad I did.Tamayo's a skilled writer who comes up with unique and interesting characters and plots. This story is no exception. The heart of this book is a love triangle between Cora, Devin, and Andrew. Cora and her husband, Andrew, have been trying to get pregnant for a long time but had several miscarriages. Andrew has been a real jerk about it too. So, when Devin, the demon of lust, gets sent to seduce Cora because of a prophecy surrounding Cora's child, you find yourself rooting for him. The characters shift and grow throughout the story and, without spoiling the book, the ending is fantastic. The book is interesting, well-written, and a fun way to spend an afternoon.

Cora has been desperately trying to have a baby for years and become to focused on it that her husband begins to question their relationship and decides they should spend some time apart. While she watches her life unravel in front of her, unbeknownst to her, she catches the attention of another. Lucifer is bent on stopping a prophecy that she is a part of and assigns the demon of lust, Devin, the task of seducing Cora, but can he do that without getting attached and making personal? Is Andrew, her husband, willing to let her go without a fight?This book is wonderful; it pulls you in by about halfway through the first page and holds your attention consistently to the very last page. Each character is so well defined that you feel for each of them and have to keep reading to find out how it ends. The depth of the emotions that this book pulls from the reader is superb! The story will shake up everything you thought you knew about demons, lust, and love.

Wow! A thrilling page turner! I was blown way but Tamayo's heart throbbing darker romance. It was a neck breaking (or wrist breakpage turner. It grasps your attention from the start and it doesnt let up through the whole book. The writing was smooth and the sentence structure was divine. I absolutely LOVE the world that Tamayo has created. Her imagination was vivid and clearly detailed out within her writing, bringing to life such an realistic and fantastic romance. A must read!

This had me captivated from the very beginning. Such an emotional roller coaster. A definate must read and then re read.

I read this book long before it was published because I've begged the author for an ARC after I'd read a few sample chapters. I gotta tell you this right off--I fell for the demon. Yes, Devin had me right from the beginning, from the moment he made his appearance, and boy, I loved how Cora boiled her husband over the story. Her husband is pretty much an a$$ in the beginng, as he is considering leaving Cora because of her obsession with having children. When the demon Lust in the skin of delicious Devin takes the stage, Andrew (the husband) is taken with jealousy and realizes how much he desires Cora for himself. Well, s*ck it up, honey. You got the demon Lust to battle for the girl this time. Will you live up to it?A woman prophesized to bring the one child into the world, who will end Lucifer's reign; the woman chosen to rid world of evil once and for all. Lucifer sends the demon Lust to keep this woman away from the man who will father the special child. Should be easy, right? Well, think again.I loved this book from line one, and when Devin made his ppearance I could no longer put it down. Looking forward for the next book by this author.

Good, evil, light, shadow, sacrifice. This story emphasizes the strength of true love, the strength of true belief, and the strength to trust your heart.I love this interpretation of the great war between the angels and results of the fallen. The politics are fascinating. Everyone is required to follow protocol. Even Lucifer needs to request permission before acting on certain desires.Cora and Andrew have fallen into the same trap as thousands of other loving couples. Stress has put a strain on their relationship. Blame has been placed squarely on each other. The pair have no reason to believe the fault may lay on an unseen entity. Separation is inevitable.The separation was just what Xander and Devin needed to proceed with their plan. The relationship needs to end. Cora and Andrew must remain apart.I experienced a lot of anger towards the characters in this book. I was angry with Andrew for nearly the entire first half of the story. Cora would have been fine if she didn’t let Marilyn back her into a corner. So much anger there. I had high hopes for Devin, but that kept getting squashed. Cora had me confused, but I figured out why towards the end.This book had the near-perfect ending. I loved all the self-realizations. I ended the book with a tear in my eye and a smile in my heart.

I am not normally big on romantic story lines, but I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful book. Breaking stereotypes is putting it mildly when Lucifer discovers that the mother of a prophesized child has been unable to conceive and deserted by an unsympathetic husband. She is coming apart at the seams.Lucifer pulls out the big gun and sends the demon of lust himself to seduce her and move things along.Demons may have been underrated when it comes to feelings and attachments - but will that help or hurt. And what about that walk-out husband? Has he actually given up? Can he actually give up - and if not, how will he stack up against the demon of lust himself?Read one page and you'll be hooked too.5 stars
