Synopsis
‘Welcome
to Devil’s Paradise.’
The
arch demon’s voice was low and deep.
His
fingers caressed her through the fabric of her dress.
‘Your
soul—or his, Serena. Choose.’
Fledgling guardian angel and yoga
teacher Serena St. Clair dares to enter Devil’s Paradise nightclub on a mission—to
retrieve the wayward Hollywood ‘It-Boy’ she’s assigned to protect. But Serena
is ambushed by the club’s owner, arch demon Julian Asher.
The most powerful demonic entity in
Los Angeles, Julian is handsome as sin, a master of temptation who loves
nothing more than corrupting pleasure-seeking humans. He won’t release the lost
soul Serena is supposed to guard...unless she accepts his dangerous wager.
After the disastrous way his human
life ended, Julian vowed that no woman would get the better of him again. Yet
this sexy angel—smelling of fresh ocean air and happiness—triggers centuries-old
feelings. Now their high-stakes game of seduction, where angels fall from grace
and where demons fear to tread, will lean them either to an eternity in
hell...or a deliciously hot heaven.
my Thoughts (review)
ÔÕÖ×Ø
So this is so much so a love story
between two people on opposites of the good and evil (being that entirely).
You walk into a club and the worst
that’s going to happen to you is some drug/drugged up guy tries to cop a feel
that you’re not happy with, right? For Serena it meant walking into the eye
line of a man that would love nothing more than to corrupt her, but finds that
it’s a line he shouldn’t have crossed with a woman’s whose eyes shinned with
that much innocence.
This book to me was very much a first timer, you could tell
in the way it was laid out. The fact that the story didn’t tend to flow off the
pages at time, and others, brilliant. The book itself is great. Very much a standard
Romeo & Juliet type thing, like really, I rolled my eyes in times from the
overly played scenes. And it’s that way; scenes were obvious and over played
rather than the whole story.
I would never say that I don’t like
the story, that it’s over playedness doesn’t matter to me. It’s more that the
things that he said, the way they acted around each other it was like a bad
horror movie, or any really that had the rolled your eyes because right as the
fingers start to wonder—oh, there you are, dad, just stroll in no one cares.
It also held to much information and
not in the world, or even them. But personal shit, and I would like to say that
it was need, but it really wasn’t (I skipped most of it). this book was very
much a roll your eyes, I can’t believe you went there, and Ah... there you go,
but still it was great, honestly I did actually enjoy the parts that were original
and didn’t seem to come out of another person’s novel, and I would like to see
what she comes up with next. What else there is, I liked the way she wrote when
she started to get herself to flow, it was more like the person who edited it,
or help had too different a voice than her original one and it clogged up the
pages at times.
Still, I really want to see what
else she can come up with, even if it’s from this same line, I want to know if
she gets better when she feels better about herself and her writing.
