that's odd, as she's an American author I'd have thought the US would have got it first

I wonder if they've changed the title - the first was called "Incubus" here but they've changed it to "Demon Lover" for the US market.

Two FOL sales this weekend, plus I found a UBS and a thrift shop to explore nearby one of them. Could be a hit or a bust, you never know what kind of books the upper crust nobs on Mercer Island will donate...

I don't know why that's the case, but I went to my trusty AbeBooks found a copy in the UK with (supposedly) free shipping to the use for $11.01 and ordered it, I don't want to wait til Feb 13!

And my niece read and liked the 1st one so she'll get it after me.

-ordered Master & God by Lindsey Davis

Will be interested to hear what you think of this. I was rather disappointed - the story seemed rambling and disjointed, the romantic pairing never gelled for me and the snappy banter which works so well in the Falco series comes across as rather contrived and not particularly witty. I'm wondering if Davis' style works best with a shorter format. Rebels & Traitors was another rather disjointed rambler.

Oh dear! I have Rebels and Traitors on my TBR pile, too. I will let you know what I think when I get round to reading either or both.

I'm still trying to get through that tome. It's my first Davis and so far not very impressed.
