A Blast from the Past (Lars and Rael, #2) by J.L. Merrow

This second story about Lars and Rael is as funny as the first. The tone varies by character, from outright snarky (Lars’s detective partner Rochelle), to sarcastic for Lars (most of the time) and humorous for Rael. I really liked these different voices because it gives this continuing story an extra flavor that I think is amusing.

Rael is turning out to be quite the interesting little demon. He may be an incubus, but now that he plans to stay ‘topside’ for a while, he discovers his domestic side and does the unthinkable - remain faithful to Lars. Fighting his cheating ex is a lot less fun than making lunch for Lars…

Lars is definitely ‘addicted’ to Rael now, but fears discovery. Interestingly, it’s not as much the fact that he’s gay that will do him in, so to speak, but the idea that an agent of the Paranormal Enforcement Agency is cohabiting with a demon. Talk about career limiting moves!

This book contains some interesting dynamics between two main characters from ‘different worlds’ who try to make things work, and adds a little mystery on top, just for good measure. If you like paranormals with a contemporary feel, adore cute demons and want to see two men battle out their differences to make a relationship work, you will like this book. I certainly can’t wait to read the third volume!
