Viper is the epitome of bad boy/good man. He may be a fallen angel, he may be a biker but he has a heart of gold, a moral code and his heart truly beats only for Ella!

Ella is a demon and magic user, kind of like a hedgewitch. Wither her family she runs a magical shop and tries to keep out of too much trouble. But she has an intense attraction to the last person she should! Demons and Angels aren't exactly friends and her family would be horrified if they knew of her attraction to Viper!

There were some tricky moments for Viper and Ella to get through and then there was Ella's stalker to deal with. The sub plots of Mia's fledgeling relationship and the traitorous demon selling information really added to the story and they all interweaved so well.

There were plenty of cameos from established couples in this world and of course, visits from cute kiddos too. I have to say I have a soft spot for Lou, if a kid likes you you must be okay!

The smexy is steamy and intense, these characters and this world as s£x positive and unabashedly open in their attraction. The banter it witty and on point and the whole superhero schtick by one of the fallen had me laughing!
