Sympathy for the Devil (The Devil You Know Book 1)

April 5, 2014

Sympathy for the Devil was such an enjoyable story. The plot was well thought out and original, something that I'm very happy about as most romances seem to blur together after awhile. The protagonist Christie was believable and humorous, and I was more than a little in love with the devil myself after reading this. Despite the books length (or maybe because of it) I felt the end was rather abrupt and I wish I knew more about what happens to the couple after Luke is made mortal. What about...

Synopsis: Devil is tired of managing Hell and asks God to let him pass into Heaven. God stipulates this can only happen if the Devil can make a woman God has selected, to fall in love with him. At first I thought the story seemed to reminiscent of others, but the way Pope handled it was overall, very good. It helped how the heroine was agnostic and thus her feelings about the Devil didn't have any religious based fear to them, but a natural wariness based on society's overall depiction of the...

Ms. Pope gives a new twist to the Devil's divine relationship. The major plot? A bargain that has the capacity to free him, or damn him for eternity. While I do wish I could have been in Luke's head more often, I spent many hours devouring this book. It's actually 2 am and I just finished it! Wonderful prose with detailed descriptions and lively characters. For once, the heroine isn't 'perfect,' but perfect in her flaws, making her more realistic. The instances of paranormal activity aren't...

I really loved how this story started off: 28 years ago the Devil is tired of Hell and makes a deal with God to eventually go back to heaven if he can make a girl God has chosen for him fall in love with him knowing he really is the Devil, and also if he genuinely falls in love with her. And once he introduces himself to her, Lucifer - or Luke - will only have a month to execute the plan. Otherwise, he's stuck in Hell. This intro is written in the third person. And various intervals in the...

The Devil(Luke) and Christa Simms make up a cute and entertaining story. The Devil and GOD cut a deal which includes a human woman. The Devil, since he has been around a long time, figures this little human will be no problem to seduce and win the special prize he and GOD agreed upon. Not so fast!!! This was a fun read and hilarious at times. I must admit I lost interest in the story when Luke and Christa had a falling out. But once on track, if ended fantastically!! I must say you should keep...
