Synopsis: Fledgling guardian angel and yoga teacher Serena St. Clair dares enter Devil’s Paradise nightclub on a mission – to retrieve the wayward Hollywood “It Boy” she’s assigned to protect. But she’s ambushed by the club’s owner, Archdemon Julian Ascher. 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-sweet 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 lead them either to an eternity in hell…or a deliciously hot heaven.
My Take: New to me author. Please bear with me for I really stink at reviews. The cliché "Caught me by page one" totally went into effect here. By the time I started I was hooked, immersed, and before I knew it I was one page fifty, then a hundred. I really wanted people to leave me alone so I could devour more pages!
The outside world fell away and I was immersed with Serena and Lucian, what was brewing between them. Stephanie's concepts with angels and demons made sense to me. I liked the mere thought, the idea of it.
Lucian for all his decandant evilness is redeemed. Serena's character, I can not pin point about her that I liked so much. She was not weak but nether was she strong. Strong in her faith, I will give her that. She had her doubts even as an angel.
By close to the end... the little memorial service, my eyes were totally misting and I was actually choking up. That is a definite sign of a keeper book. I can not wait for more of this world by Stephanie.
FYI - Since this deals with angels... those worried that it would get too "preachy", don't worry about it.
