To Kiss a Demon by Stephanie Rowe | Book Review

Mar. 30, 2026

Dark, dangerous, and filled with impossible choices, this story pulls you into a world where love and duty are constantly at war. Even stepping into this series for the first time, I found myself quickly caught up in the intensity of it all.

To Kiss a Demon by Stephanie Rowe
Series: Immortally Sexy, #4, #4
Genres: Paranormal Romance

Buckle up for another high-stakes paranormal roller coaster from New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Rowe, in which an immortal assassin falls for the adorably sassy wraith he's supposed to kill.

When Paige quit her job as Satan's minion, she thought she was finally free. But when she accidentally incinerates an angel, she discovers she's on the fast-track to becoming a soulless, evil wraith. The only way to save herself? Enlist the help of the deliciously sexy shadow warrior sent to push her over the edge.

To save his brother, Jed Buchanan sold his soul to Satan Jr. for all eternity. But when the immortal assassin winds up in Paige's bedroom during a botched mission, the sassy temptress offers a possible way out if he'll team up with her.

Everyone from heaven to hell wants to get their hands on the weapon Paige is becoming, and time is running out. Can the tormented assassin find the peace and love he's always desired with an irreverent wraith who refuses to give in to her dark side?

Sassy, sexy fun and high-stakes magic abound in this delightful paranormal romance.

NOTE: Originally published by Warner Books, under the title Sex & The Immortal Bad Boy, as part of the Immortally Sexy series.

Review


This was my first book in the series, and while it’s clear there’s a lot of history behind these characters, I was still able to follow the main storyline and enjoy the experience. That said, I do think reading the earlier books would add more depth and context, especially when it comes to the larger cast and ongoing conflicts.

The story centers on Jed, an immortal assassin tasked with carrying out a deadly mission, and Paige, a powerful and evolving being created for destruction. Their paths collide in a way that quickly becomes complicated, emotional, and full of impossible choices. The tension between them is strong from the start, and their connection develops under intense and dangerous circumstances.

Paige is a particularly intriguing character. She’s not just powerful—she’s changing, struggling with what she is becoming and what that means for the world around her. Watching her grapple with those changes added a compelling emotional layer to the story. Jed, on the other hand, is torn between loyalty, family, and the feelings he develops for Paige. His internal conflict is a driving force throughout the book and adds to the overall tension.

The plot itself is fast-paced and filled with action, betrayal, and high stakes. There’s a strong sense of urgency running through the story, with plenty of twists and difficult decisions that keep things interesting. The world-building is detailed and complex, though at times I felt like I was missing some background information that longtime readers of the series would already know.

The romance is intense and layered with conflict, making it both compelling and emotionally charged. It’s not an easy or straightforward relationship, which adds to the overall impact of the story.

Overall, this was an engaging and dramatic read with strong characters and a gripping premise. While I enjoyed it as a newcomer, I’d definitely recommend reading the series in order to fully appreciate the depth of the world and its characters.

Mia
 
An island fling was the last thing I expected when I agreed to spend a month on a tropical island with Graham and Soraya as nanny to their sweet little boy. I was planning to relax with the family, enjoy the sun, and get a break from law school...
 
Then a shirtless, tanned Adonis runs onto our beach and into my life.
 
JT is mysterious, rugged, and his gruff exterior should have sent me running in the opposite direction. But something about the man excites me, challenges me to push past my insecurities. And though I don't see myself as a "fling" kind of girl, maybe it's just what I need to move on from my painful past. The trouble is JT has quickly imprinted himself on my soul, and saying goodbye to him is going to break me.
 
JT
 
Going back to the island, the only place I felt like myself, was a no-brainer. Not just somewhere to seek refuge from business, family, and especially women. It's a place of serenity...to clear my head and get rid of the anger of betrayal and figure out what I want to do with my life.
 
Then Mia happens, forcing her way into my heart. Like a violent storm that rushes in, wreaking havoc but ultimately ushering in a new dawn. She sees things in me I never knew existed. But our worlds are spinning in different directions, and no matter how badly I want to hang on, the force pulling us apart might just be too strong for both of us.

Life isn’t fair.

If anyone on Earth should know that, it’s Milena Semyonov.

She’s suffered blow after blow, and the hits just keep on coming.

Just when she’s sworn off being happy, that maybe being numb is the better way to navigate life, she meets him.
Cutter Carson Clayborne.

The man that finally shows her how a real man is supposed to treat her.

Just when she didn’t think life could get any worse, the man that abused her as a young, impressionable teen is back, showing her that life can, in fact, get worse.

When she’s ready to quit, Cutter is there, making sure that she knows that he’ll be there, whether she wants him there or not.

He is her husband, after all. And the unlikely pair have an understanding that they’ll stay married for two years, make a baby, and join two crime syndicates in unholy matrimony.

Cutter has other plans, though. He only agrees to the original plan to make her his.

He won’t ever give her up. What’s his stays his. And there’s not a man on the earth that’ll ever touch Milena again. Not with Cutter alive and able to take out anyone that tries.

Broody. Hot. Intoxicating.
 
Nastya Semyonov first met Haze at a bar, but for Haze Hopkins, duty calls before either can act on their desires. He’s gone without a glance back, leaving her thinking that maybe all the hot looks were only one-sided.
 
Fast forward to the next day, Nastya hitches a ride to her car that she left behind the night before, only to run into the same man from last night.
 
Neither one truly thinks before they act, and they spend a hot fifteen minutes in a fast-food restaurant bathroom before parting ways again.
 
It’s as she’s walking back to her car that she realizes how badly she’s screwed up.
 
Because her car is surrounded in police tape, and there’s one very angry man wearing a badge standing in front of it with her name on an arrest warrant for killing a man.
 
Mistakes were made. Repeatedly.
 
But Detective Haze Hopkins isn’t complaining.
 
He was ready to quit, anyway.
 
Crime pays better.

There was right, there was wrong, and then there was the in-between.
 
The place where normal people reside, understanding that there are two sides to every coin. People that do bad things for good reasons. People that do bad things for bad reasons.
 
First, I knew that Shasha Semyonov was a bad man. One that did bad things for bad reasons. That didn’t mean that I was rational when it came to him.
 
He was toxic to my health, yet I wanted him anyway.
 
They say the first step to healing is admitting when you have a problem.
 
My problem happened to be six feet two inches tall, two hundred and twenty pounds, and bearded to perfection.
 
Oh, and he was also the scariest guy I knew.
 
Meanwhile, I was the laughingstock of the city.
 
The woman who was cheated on by her boyfriend with her best friend, and it was captured live while a band played in the background, perfectly accenting the humiliating video.
 
There was no way that Shasha Semyonov would notice me.
Right?
 
Wrong.
 
I’d definitely been noticed.
