Terrible Lovely Demon: An MM Paranormal Romance Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 345 ratings

A decade ago, Maxton cheated death. Now, a twist of fate brings him face-to-face with his demonic savior.


Ten years ago Maxton Grant was a frail sixteen-year-old slowly being consumed by an aggressive form of childhood cancer and teetering on the brink of death. Until, suddenly, he wasn’t.

The doctors called it a miracle, but Maxton knew the truth. An act of divine intervention wasn’t what saved him. It was Beau Holland, his hot-as-sin night nurse—a demon in disguise who was willing to make a deal with a dying teenager that gave him a second chance at life.

Now, a decade later, a chance encounter reunites Maxton with the demon from his past. Neither can fight the questionable chemistry that has always existed between them, but they struck a bargain, and Maxton must pay the price.

Is it such a terrible fate to owe a lovely demon a favor?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

In 2021, Odessa Hywell, a dark MM romance author decided it was best NOT to publish her books featuring questionable themes under her married name as her husband would not approve.

—His loss, honestly.—

If you know who Odessa Hywell is, don’t be a snitch.

Like Benjamin Franklin said, “Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.”

    This is such a sweet story with a gut wrenching middle and a HEA I needed. After I survived b cancer I thought reading about others with cancer would be fine it wasn't and I cried hard. Beau and Max are the sweetest couple. Must read

    I enjoyed reading the story and seeing the MCs connect. By the end, I was shedding a few tears for the family and Leland for what they had to endure. I'm not sure how I feel about the ending.

    I loved this story. Getting to know Beau and Max was wonderful. It starts out in an unexpected way where the characters meet at a you get age and meet again down the road. Seeing max grow into a man and beau continue to be a very unique demon is fun. They have such chemistry and are truly perfect together. I loved this story and the heat. Odessa really tells stories that have heart and all the feels. Highly recommended!

    I've been picking and choosing books that sounds interesting in the Possessive Love series, and admit to being a creature of habit in that I tend to prioritize authors I'm already familiar with. I'd never read Odessa Hywell, but the blurb sounded good. Boy am I glad I tried this book. The characters are interesting, and the story is entertaining. Not everything is sunshine and roses, which adds a bit of character depth. Give it a read.

    But I couldn’t and here’s why.

    The plot was interesting. The writing was good but I needed more. I will say this, having read the trigger warnings and the kinks at the front of the book I was worried this was going to be all about sex but it wasn’t. I’m glad it wasn’t bc I need romance with my spicy times to really enjoy them and this story has that.

    My issue was that the author relies on you filling in some blanks in the relationship to make it feel whole. I needed more sweet bonding moments between the 2 MC’s. Yes they “knew” each other when Max was a sick kid and Beau was his nurse but it wasn’t sexual it was platonic. Now that they’ve found each other again they fell fast and hard for each other but I needed more time/events to build their relationship to really give me “the feels”. As it was it was like being in a a fast river being swept along. I enjoyed the ride but missed some of the beautiful scenery by going so fast.

    Heat level 2.5/5. Ok I’ll admit the TW gave me pause but the labeled kinks at the front of the book gave me the curiosity to get over that lol.

    The spicy times WERE spicy but felt like there could have been more? Maybe more description or maybe if the MC’s felt like they had more of an emotional connection it would have felt like more? Not sure. Again, spicy times were nice. But not up to what I was expecting given the kinks labeled.

    I DID enjoy reading this book and will seriously consider reading more by them.

    ::SPOILERS AHEAD::
    Max finds out that Beau is giving his life force to keep Max healthy. Max doesn’t like that Beau’s one “friend” sneers at him for this and decides he needs to change the status quo despite Beau saying he’s powerful enough to do keep both of them alive.

    The “fix” the figure out is for Max to become a demon which I’m all for BUT Max decides he can’t just disappear from his family so he decides to stop taking Bea’s magic, allow the cancer to come back and kill him “naturally “ to give his family closure. Really? That’s the way you needed to go with this story?

    I AM grateful the author skipped the 4 month period it took Max to decline and die but there HAD to be another way!

    Between that and the above mentioned issues I couldn’t give it 5 stars.

    I was ready for the second meet cute (even in a hospital) and the sickly sweet affection. I WASN’T ready for the devastating lows Max and Beau had to go through to be together, even though it wasn’t dragged on for the sake of more words. I did love that they had confirmed their fate and Beau was able to walk Max through his “afterlife”!

    Another amazingly creative book in this awesome series. The author starts this one with sadness and ends with some sadness but not for the main characters. They get their happily ever after with a twist! I loved the creativity of this story and look forward to reading more books by this author.

    Was an interesting story. I don't think there was anything wrong with the story but I had a hard time staying interested. I can even put my finger on why but it could have just been my mood.

    When a book can make me laugh and cry it is an automatic 5 star rating from me. Honestly, I didn't expect to have such an emotional response to the book, but here we are.
    As with Odessa's other books, the steam was on point.
    I need that Leland story thanks

    This is so hard to review. I loved a lot of it and then there were a few bits that I stumbled with. I also loved the best friend and thought that this could have been a bet friends to lovers trope instead and I would have enjoyed that story too. I loved Beau he was great and Max was sweet and Leyland was the best friend you could ever as for. The last part of the book seemed a bit cruel for me and I did struggle with that and the abrupt ending left me wanting more. All that said I enjoyed this story and will read some more from this series.

    Making a deal with the demon has never been so hot! A different take on demons than what I've read before, but very enjoyable. This story of Beau & Max had me laughing, crying & loving. I would love for Leland to get a story (with a werewolf!!)
