StolenInnocence_Cover

They say ignorance is bliss, but when it comes to love and mating, Charity Lovell wished someone had schooled her on the ins and outs. She fell hard when she saw the beautiful face of the fair-haired demon as he lay broken in Lucifer’s dungeon. Her body ached for him. Her heart cried for him. This had to be her mate, right? Who else could make her trade her soul to the Devil to save someone she didn’t know? Someone should’ve told her love wasn’t quite as straight forward as that.

Damon lived an uncomplicated life, even as the alpha of the Lake Charles pack and the son of Lucifer. He should’ve taken a mate years ago, but held on to the hope of love. Only one female came close to making him believe he still had a chance for happiness. Yet, her heart belonged to someone else. Once again, the feeling is back, stronger than ever. And again, his female has pledged herself to another. Damn demons were ruining his love life. This time Damon plans to fight for what was his and win his rightful mate.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

What happens to a supermodel who loses her beauty? Angelique Diaz does what any girl from New Orleans would do…make a deal with the Devil.

Angel lives the life of the rich and fabulous, until a heinous car accident mars her face. After thirteen surgeries and losing everything she deemed important, she seeks out the dark forces to salvage her life. In exchange for his help, Lucifer forces her to hunt supernatural renegades, which have eluded the pits of Hell. In her quest to regain beauty and get out of her contract with Lucifer, Angel stumbles upon love in the arms of a demon.

Commander of the Legions and an Underworld Demon, Jacque Toussant, takes a field commission to escape the madness of a failed relationship and prove himself worthy of his demon heritage. Jacque is content with his existence as a field soldier until Lucifer gives him a special assignment to oversee a new trainee, a supermodel nonetheless. Humans hold low appeal for Jacque, especially the females. That is until he meets Angel. Jacque risks everything, including his life, to find a way to break Angel’s deal with Lucifer.

Review……
“Sexiness, mayhem and magic…. A kick ass book!!

Angelique (Angel) Dias had the ultimate life. She was a top model, she had the car, the money, the clothes and the shoes to go with. Until the night a drunk driver hits her car. The accident leaves the one side of face scared from forehead to chin taking away her looks and livelihood. At the lowest point in Angel’s life, she makez a pact with the devil, her soul for her looks. The devil agrees and stokes a bargain with angel, to get her beauty back, she must work with Lucifer for years. She will become a bounty hunter for demons who owe Lucifer their soul!

Sexy Jacque Toussant, demon from hell (literally) and Lucifer’s nephew, gets the task of training Angel. Jacque wants nothing to do with humans. He was a warrior not a trainer. He soon realizes that Angel is not a normal human so to speak and demons can’t control who they fall for. The action was non-stop, the passion was scorching, and the banter was set at a furious pace.

The only little down side was the need to describe in detail, what angel was wearing, (maybe because I’m not a fashion follower, I didnt understand the need to tell me all the designer’s names)

There are many secondary characters, so I’m hoping we get many many books 😉

Give this book a try, especially if you love your men alpha and your women kick ass fierce

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 2013

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorn. What if that woman is a demon, in fact Lilith’s very own daughter? Isabella LaCoste vowed to get her revenge on her ex and his new human fiance. She didn’t commit fifty years of her life to be thrown out like last season’s runway fad. But taking vengeance on an upper level Shifter Demon and the newly crowned Voodoo Princess might not be a one demon job. She volunteers her services to Lucifer to deliver Angel and Jacque in exchange for his help. She never expected her new partner in crime would fill the void in her broken heart.

Not even death brought him peace. Xavier Toussant wanted out of his contract and the killing business. His last assignment was his own brother and he failed to deliver. Lucifer didn’t appreciate his valor in dealing with his brother, Jacque. In fact, it only created more problems. Xavier’s back on assignment to capture his brother and the Voodoo chick. Only this time, he’s shackled to the craziest female in the Underworld. Xavier finds Isabella LaCoste might be the one thing to put his soul at ease.

My review ….

It’s never easy for a second book in a series to be better than the first, but believe me when I say that this book is even better than the first! And I am so glad that I was asked to review it. I read it! I have loved this new world that Vivi has created.

The story continues from where the last one stopped but with other main characters. And in this book Bell is the leading female character in this story and I have to say that she is wasnt my first choice for a book, i didnt really warm to her.
After her fury for her ex’s engagement with a human she wants to revenge. But what she finds? Love. And she can’t believe it because the person that she has her love is Xavier, her ex’s brother. Wow !!!! Complicated or what !

I grew to like Bell a lot. Although sometimes she was kind of a bitch, when she loves she does it completely. She says she doesn’t care what the others think but the truth is that she likes to belong and after this book it’s easy to say that she’s truly happy after so many years.

Again Xavier wasn’t my favorite. He had a bad life so far and nobody was there for him. It’s logical to be bitter but it doesn’t last long. It’s more than obvious that he needs love in his life and now that he found this love he will do anything to keep it. I absolutely loved him in the end.

To be honest, I liked the plot more than the first book. With it’s fast pace and non-stop action, with a splash of romance.

I highly urge you to take a peek 😉
