After a grueling night in the ER, all Dr. Pete Coen wants is to decompress at his local watering hole.

I have always liked the myth of succubi and incubi: if you have to die, what best way there is than due to too much sex? A succubus is a female demon who sucks your life during sex, and incubus is the male version. Usually they come by night in your dream, and the victim doesn't realize during the orgasm that he is dying. As I said, good way.

But Duncan is a strange incubus; he has a lover, a man he apparently loves, and he tried two time in the past to save his life. The third time he is not so lucky, and even if he brings the man to Pete, an ER doctor with an irreproachable record of no lost patients, this time he doesn't manage to save the man. Duncan is lost in his pain and he latches to Pete.

Pete is a sharp man; in his line of work he sees the most horrible things, and to do at best his work, he has long ago decided to not being involved at a personal level. So his day as careless gay man are far away in the past and he has no time for Duncan, even more since the man arises in him not only desire but also fear and a wish to run away as soon as possible. But the lure of an incubus is strong, and then this incubus in particular is a very handsome and big (in all the important thing...) man, and making sex with him puts Pete to sleep due to exhaustion, and sleeping is something that always avoided Pete in the past... Duncan is better than a sleeping pill and more pleasurable.

As you can notice, I took more in the funny side of the story, than in its apparently demoniac side. Even if there is a sad death at the beginning of the book, Duncan's previous partner, since we don't know him, and what we know about him is not so sparkling, I feel very little for him and don't regret too much his departure. More interesting are Pete's attempts to drive back Duncan, and Duncan easy and sexy prowl for a new lover.

There is also a little cameo sex scene with a female succubus, but don't worry, her involvement is very marginal, and almost irrelevant: and how could not be so, when Pete has finally Duncan naked in a bed, how could he give any attention to a woman? (am I a little acid in this last comment? :-) )
