I agreed to this. I willingly made a deal with the Devil, and now he owns my soul. I don’t know how long I’ve been in Hell’s prison realm. My only company are the demons who come to torture me. Until her.
The first time I saw Laila, I thought she was another one of the demons’ games—beautiful, innocent, the picture of everything good in the world. Only she wasn’t a game or a trick. She’s an angel of the first order and just as trapped as I am. But unlike me, her soul is intact. The demons would have a field day with her, and I can’t let that happen. I’ll protect her with my last breath. She’s my light in the darkness, but she can never be mine.
Laila
I was a fool. A naive child who believed I wanted to have adventures and see the world outside God’s palace. But that was before I trusted the wrong person and ended up stuck in Hell. At first I thought I was alone here. And then I met him.
Joriel is unlike anyone I’ve ever known. A broken angel who lost his soul and believes he’s a monster. He makes me feel both safe and desired. I know he’ll stand between me and any demon who wishes to hurt me. He’ll fight for me the way he won’t for himself. So I’ll fight for him for as long as it takes, until he sees himself the way I do.

Jorielllllll!!! I can't even tell you how excited I was when I found out Joriel got his own book!! I secretly was bummed at the way his ending was in the previous book of Sam and Pipers story, Soulmates. His selfless act to protect his brothers, Sierra and to prevent a full blown war with Heaven and Hell was so admirable. But I couldn't help my heart from breaking for him, feeling like he got robbed out of his Happily Ever After.
The journey that Joriel and Leila take is not what I was expecting at all! The twists and turns and challenges of their story were so unique, and K. LeBlanc did such a great job of painting such a vivid picture. The details of Heaven and Hell, and the everyday life there wasn't what I was picturing from my own beliefs, but somehow, it was better! It painted a different story for me that was refreshingly different and I welcomed it!
If you haven't already read Guardian Angels and Soulmates, I definitely advise you read those first. Trust me when I say this, you'll love them and feel the same way I felt when you see Joriel gets his HEA.
