All Bets Are On by Cynthia Cooke

Derek is a prince of hell and lately he's been a little bored with his work, punishing white-collar criminals has become a bit tedious. He's become such a drag at work that his minions set up an online dating profile for him, because in no uncertain terms, they believe he "needs to get laid", they know Derek won't go along with it so they bet him he can't get laid. Talk about a kicker to start off the story.

Jaclyn runs a charity organization for children, she started it with her friend Trish; she doesn't like charity balls and she believes good looking guys are trouble with a capital T. On an online dating site she and her friend come across Derek's profile, Trish convinces Jaclyn to send Derek a message.

When these two meet it's not love at first sight, it's lust at first sight, but more importantly they start off with this I hate you, you hate me sort of thing.

The story is nice, will these two actually find their happily ever after or will the whole prince of hell be a big no no for Jaclyn.

The storyline is fun and the characters are entertaining, I would totally have given it a 5 if it weren't for one tiny detail at the end, but I will let you figure which detail out when you read the book.

Hey, Mister: Come Hell or Highwater Pants by Pete Sickman-Garner

Talk about family issues. This book will have you cracking up two ways to Sunday. 

This is how I broke down the characters: 

Young Tim = funny little character not sure if adult or child; maybe adult because he does drink 

Satan = tired of ruling hell wants to relax and be human, needs to get his soul back to stay on earth 

Jesus = too hippy, with way too many daddy issues; eventually stands up to God's bullying parenting style 

Mister = artist with a porn addiction, he's the creative author-y type, he prefers the term erotica over porn [LOL] 

Aunt Mary =  laid back, bitchy friend of mister, with a twisted sense of humor 

God = is portrayed as total douche, he sucks at parenting and apparently doesn’t want anyone in heaven, he actually compares humans to animals 

Mary = Jesus' mom, way too overprotective of her baby boy 

Hell = too much work, seems to be ran like a business 

Heaven = SUCKS, especially with God being such a douche 

Earth = pretty cool place 

If this breakdown isn't enough to get you to buy a copy I don't know what will. The dialogue is witty, the characters are stitches, the drawings are all black and white but its ok, it works with the story.
