Literary Nymphs Reviewer: Rose Nymph
After witnessing a horrific family tragedy as a child, Sam Quincannon has every right to hate the rodeo. Sam’s an EMT and her boss has been very sympathetic in allowing her to miss rodeo duty – until now. If she wants to progress in her career, she’ll have to face her past, in more ways than one.
Cody Shaw was on a winning streak, until he was drawn to ride The Devil Inside. Something just didn’t feel right on this bull and it’s not long before Cody’s worst nightmare becomes a reality. He doesn’t remember much about the ambulance ride or the stay in hospital but when he finally wakes up in a strange bedroom, the female voice he hears sounds very familiar.
There is a lot going on in The Devil Inside. It begins with Sam overcoming a fear from her past, which gives realism and strength to her character. With the introduction of the likable and honorable Cody, the story delves further into what Sam has had to endure. It’s clear from the start that there’s something between these two and the resulting tension and passion is very steamy, although I would have liked more background into the past the two characters shared.

The focus then switches to the cause of Cody’s accident. Sam has the bit between her teeth and suspects foul play. Perhaps feeling guilty for not being able to do anything about what she witnessed as a child. Her suspicions land her in danger though, and the resulting fallout forces both her and Cody’s families to face a painful reality. Sam needs to decide what she really wants out of life. The Devil Inside was an enjoyable read with plenty of action and likeable characters. I would have liked more time spent on the details to help build up the connection between Sam and Cody, but I would definitely recommend this to fans of the genre.
