Book Description:
Darkly erotic. Supremely powerful.
Haley Hawthorne is a witch. She shuns her paranormal gifts, instead escaping into a mundane, reclusive life as an accountant for her Uncle Eli’s firm. Five
years earlier, Haley was kidnapped by Raden, brother of Lucifer, and held
captive as his personal sex slave. She escaped but still bears the scars, both
physical and emotional. Now she’s turned away from both magic and sex, and
she’s certain nothing will ever bring those lost things back into her life...
Damian, son to Lucifer, has renounced his right to the throne of Hell and has
become a soldier for Adversus, hunting evil supernatural creatures on Earth.
Unfortunately, he’s powerless to witches, and this witch can read his mind. He
can’t decide what is more dangerous—the irresistible attraction he feels for
her, or the intoxicating peace she gives him. One thing is certain, they both
share a tortured past.
After Damian rescues her from an attack by monstrous djinn, Haley discovers the dangerously seductive soldier has secrets of his own. One of them is the
collection of whips, ropes, handcuffs, and a leather riding crops he keeps
locked away, though he refuses to show her his “Master” side. But when her
trust in him grows, she finds herself increasingly intrigued by all the kinky
things he’s hiding. But Damian has been given a new mission to kill a monster.
A monster that turns out to be her uncle...

Excerpt:
Her fingers moved automatically, stumbling only slightly over the same heavy melodies she’d once played obsessively for hours. The bedroom door opened, and Damian walked into the room, breaking her reverie.
“Oh, hi.” He
stared at her in surprise, holding a towel low around his waist, and Haley caught herself gaping at the defined muscles of his upper body, adorned with scars. “I didn’t know you were in here, I’m just gonna grab some clothes.”
His half naked body had her heart beating erratically in her chest, and Haley tried not to look at him as he pulled open a dresser drawer. She suddenly realized he was reaching for his own clothes. “Is…is this your room?”
“Yeah.” He retrieved a stack of folded clothes from the drawer. “You can stay in here though, I’ll sleep somewhere else.”
“I’m so sor—” Haley abruptly stopped speaking as he casually took off the towel, and she let out a barely audible gasp. Turning away from him, she brought her hand to cover her eyes. “I’m...I can go…”
Her pulse raced at the sound of rustling cotton as he dressed a few feet away from her.
“You play guitar?”
“Uh…no, not really… I mean… I don’t play well.” She kept her eyes hidden from him with one hand while she loosely held the neck of the guitar with the other,
aware that her dress had hiked up around her hips in her cross-legged position.
aware that her dress had hiked up around her hips in her cross-legged position.
“You can look now.”
She opened her eyes as he sat next to her, wearing a white T-shirt over gray sweatpants. “I thought it sounded really good.”
Looking down at the beautiful instrument in her lap, recognition sparked. “Is this yours?”
With a nod, he got up to pull her red guitar from the wall. “When did you learn how to play?”
“When I was younger,” she nervously held his shiny blue Les Paul, unsure where to put her hands, “but I got a little obsessed with it when I stayed in here for a few months.”
Damian sat down with hers and started tuning it. “So this is your room...” He
concentrated on the strings in his hand. “And this is your guitar?”
concentrated on the strings in his hand. “And this is your guitar?”
“Red Velvet.” She nodded, trying to keep her breathing even.
“You named your guitar?” He smiled at her.
Haley relaxed a little as he tuned the strings. “I was very close with it for a while.” She took a steadying breath. “It kind of felt like therapy.”
“That was after you escaped?”
“Yes.” She lowered her gaze.
“I actually took
this room because it had an amp in it.” Damian mindlessly played a slow melody
on her guitar.
“When did you start playing?” The sound sent a tingling warmth through her, and she found herself staring at his fingers as they expertly moved along the strings.
“When I was a kid. It came naturally to me.”
Her focus dimmed at the powerful chords. “So…you were a kid…at one time…”
He nodded. “I’ve aged normally so far, like a human, but eventually I’ll stop aging.”
“How old are you?”
“Thirty-two.” He
cast his gaze downward.
Haley looked thoughtfully at the bedspread, listening to the haunting music. “I’m twenty-seven .”
She volunteered
the information. “I feel like I’m eighty, I never go out anywhere.” Her gaze
flickered to him. “Are you really only thirty-two?”
He seemed surprised by her remark and looked back down to the strings. “It’s a lot older than you.”
“You’re immortal.”
She gave him a half-smile. “You could be thousands of years old.”
My Review
What a fun, intriguing, smoking HAWT story!! First, the story is great, and second there's some seriously good romance in here!
Haley is our leading lady. You get to see some horrible parts- like in her past when she was a sex slave for Lucifer's Brother Raden. Then she escapes. She's also a witch who won't use her powers. Haley seems timid. She's scarred and emotionally distraught, and very withdrawn, but she's is strong, she just needed to find that part of her. But Haley will get to team up with Damien and the Order- Adversus- of people who also fight the bad guys!
Damien is Lucifer's son. He doesn't want Hell's throne or what comes with it, so he becomes a bounty hunter of sorts, for the evil on Earth. He's the youngest of the sons, but he doesn't want to be his father's successor. He has some damn good reasons for that too. With Haley, he will become more than he was meant to be.
I loved the characters of the story! There's some danger, some excitement, but a lot of romance and relationship building between Damien and Haley. I know Haley kept looking over her shoulder, but I expected more of the bad parts to happen than it did, not that she deserved any more after what happened to her. And I am a little sad, there's a mention of a prophesy but nothing is explained or elaborated so there better be a book two to grow on, as I will be a little mad. LOL BUT Seriously, I just wanna read more of this world, which is fascinating. And I love the twists about the Devil and Hell and having sons. I would definitely like more as there are some open ended things I'd like to know about. So, I will say 4.5 HAWT HELLISH PAWS!!
