There are only a couple of romance authors that I regard as auto-buy. Lisabet Sarai is one of them. From her books, I've learned to appreciate the nuances of BDSM, and to understand what it provides for participants. She also writes damn good steamy scenes! This book had everything I enjoy in her stories, including a touch of supernatural.
My review:
Ah, the Faustian bargain! Riches and success can be yours, if only you sign the contract to give the devil your soul! After all, you don't really need it, so you'll never miss it, right?
Ms Sarai updates this to have a female romance author who dreams of the success that has eluded her. (Don't we all? Sigh...) But the devil, Mr. B, wearing a very sexy male body, turns up to offer Wendy what she's always wanted. And he immediately starts rewarding her, even before she signs the contract. Her agent calls her, telling her a big-six publisher wants to give her a huge advance for her next book. Plus there is interest in making her books into movies. Wow! But Wendy is a smart woman, and she negotiates a release clause. Not that she intends to use it--not when she's finally getting everything she's always wanted!
Mr. B helps Wendy with her love life also. She's often lusted after her agent, but thought of him as unavailable, due to their friendship. Instead, Mr. B becomes the master that Wendy didn't even know she craved. She becomes a sub who enjoys herself way more than she ever thought possible--which leads her writing to become more BDSM explicit, and concomitantly, makes her books best-sellers even in pre-sales. After a night of celebrating her, and therefore their success, she and her agent fall into bed, where she discovers he's really a dom in disguise, and she's always been in his fantasies. But she's being kept way too busy with her new life, to even have time to answer his phone calls--which she never hears, because Mr. B doesn't deem them important enough to disturb her writing time.
Wendy finds to her dismay, that she doesn't recognize herself anymore. To her horror, she realizes that she really would miss her soul, because she's already been acting like it's gone! Will Mr. B allow her to break their contract? Will she even want to? Will she choose continued anonymity over wildly rewarding success? For what? The chance of a relationship with a real man, and not the devil? Read and find out!

ABOUT LISABETLisabet Sarai became addicted to words at an early age. She began reading when she was four. She wrote her first story at five years old and her first poem at seven. Since then, she has written plays, tutorials, scholarly articles, marketing brochures, software specifications, self-help books, press releases, a five-hundred page dissertation, and lots of erotica and erotic romance – over one hundred titles, and counting, in nearly every sub-genre—paranormal, scifi, ménage, BDSM, GLBT, and more. Regardless of the genre, every one of her stories illustrates her motto: Imagination is the ultimate aphrodisiac.
