But the Book:
Summary:
Idle hands are the Devil's workshop...
Temptation and seduction are the tricks of the Devil's trade, and when offered the chance to regain his wings by playing guardian angel, he's hell-bent on doing things his way...
Faith McFarland is in need of a miracle. So desperate to save her sick child, she's willing to make a deal with the Devil: steal a ring worn by Finn Payne, the bad-boy rockstar who long ago sold his soul for rock 'n roll. Temptation and seduction become necessary evils, yet Faith's salvation means Finn's damnation... because the ring is all that stands between him and Hell. Falling in love was never part of the bargain, but now that they've tasted heaven in each other's arms, can they convince the Devil to give up his due?
Mini-Review: I wanted to love this story, but some aspects just didn't come together. The devil's storyline took up almost as much time as Faith and Finn's storyline, which led to both feeling rushed. Because of this, I felt a little confused at the end, like I was missing an epilogue. Faith and Finn were great characters, and I wish there had been a bit more focus on their story so that I could've learned more about them. My main gripe about the cover is that the man looks like he's made of plastic. But I really enjoy the fog and the colors.
