So, I am currently reading The Darkest Seduction and it is so trashy yet so so so utterly perfect for me!!!

Hero: warrior for the good guys (sort of) posessed by the demon of lust (literally - long story) who:

(1) needs to have sex on a regular specified basis to survive. And can only have sex with the same person once - repeats not allowed. So basically no relationships ever. Oh, and everybody wants him.
(2) Is former drug addict due to issues arising from (1).
(3) Has major rage issues due to (1), (2), (4), (5), (6)
(4) His OTP was a Hunter (human who hunts demon-posessed beings), who captured him for torture and experimentation (someone's been hanging out with Kresley Cole) but who ended up being totally attracted to him and vice-versa (I mean, on more than 'I need to have sex because your pheromones appeal to me/to live' level). And they had some truly dysfunctional sex during his captivity (as in she did it to keep him alive and he let her so as to live even though he hated it only not really).
(5) She got killed by those who were chasing him when he escaped capture and took her with him, sorta-revived by bad guys and now is posessed by a demon of her own.
(6) And he is trying to rescue her/bring her back, except he is not sure if he wants to chain her up or love her forever.
(7) She feels horribly sorry about the torture/capture stuff and is still drawn to him. Oh, and he may be able to do stuff with her more than once. Though that still doesn't solve the whole 'if I am away from her for more than X, I'd need to cheat on her and have sex with someone else, or die' issue.
(8) Hero revels in being a target of h/c the way others do in candy.

Short version: if angst was currency, hero would be Bill Gates.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA PERFECT PERFECT RIDICULOUSLY PERFECT STUFF FROM THE DEPTHS OF MY ID.

People are complaining that this is (a) a doorstopper and (b) has a lot of non-OTP stuff going with mythology in general and other characters, but (a) and (b) make me love it even more.

perfect manpain, dysfunctional romance reigns supreme, romance novels, books, romance, i have gone insane
