*Lillian* I was drunk. I was dreaming. Right? Wrong. I never expected to find a portal to Hell let alone get wrapped up in a world where I slept with Princes of Hell I never expected these men to dig their claws in me and make me feel like no man had ever made me feel before. I never expected them to save me, but also need me—want me even. I never expected to leave everything I'd ever known to seal myself in Hell forever with them. Willingly. And I never expected to fall in love with them.
This book was so good! The story was super unique and loved the different take on Hell. BUT THAT DAMN CLIFFHANGER.
Lilly is a very interesting character, I love her fiery personality throughout the story. And her backstory and the stuff she went through, she did and didn’t let it get to her. She did in some ways but in most ways she didn’t let it hold her back. She tried so hard in so many ways.
The twins have my heart. I love the literal hot and cold of the twins. One was super sweet but would totally take command and the other was the flip.
Keir, you need to get over yourself, that’s it for him.
I will commend the author on writing a book about sexual abuse trauma, from a young age and how different people deal with such enormous betrayal from the ones meant to love them. If you take away all the smut and dig deeper this is really a story about a young woman trying to heal herself. Therapists would have a field day with this one.
The loss of stars is because there is a lot of smut, a lot but no actual plot. A memoir maybe. As soon as the Wh*** word started being thrown around I lost whatever small interest I had in the book. There is nothing endearing about calling an abused girl names like that especially seeing as they already knew what she'd been through.
4.5 ⭐️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ This book started out with a BANG, literally. I was hooked right from the very start. I absolutely ate up the writing, the story and the delectable spice. I loved how feisty Lilly was. The twins are to die for, and shadow daddy was EVERYTHING! We stan a mysterious elusive man who is fighting his inner demons and trying to stay away from the forbidden fruit. THE ENDING?! Girl. I need book 2 asap, pls. Thank you! Highly recommend!
There will be spoilers in this review!!!! Please read all of the trigger warnings before reading it.
I received an ARC of this book, but I will provide my honest opinion because I would not suggest a book that I did not appreciate.
My rating is 4/5 The Spice: I mean, it has TWINS 50/10
This is the first book in this author's new series, and I'd want to point out that there are TWINS, and the TWINS like to share, and there is a brooding sibling, but she doesn't go into much detail (she is making us wait until book 2). But, returning to the plot (cough), the first book is about meeting Lili and her three love interests. Let's just say the girl has had a bad start in life, with a dysfunctional mother who has been selling her for drugs since she was 10 years old.
This book will make you rage and the vile things men say and do and squeal about the things the twins do (damn, those twins are sexy as hell).
Chapters I despise based on the low life's. Chapter 10 ( i swear is always the fricking nice guys) - and all the chapters where the fluffing mother appears, I hope she gets what's coming.
I enjoyed this book because i got to share it with a handful of women who appreciated the story behind the words. I can't wait for the second book to come out and have some revenge on that fluffing mother of hers, but also the love story for the third brother.. I am looking forward to that spice and banter ( the twins).

Wash. Rinse Repeat. "Little whore." "Little one." "Good girl." "I've got you." "Mine." Over and over and over. It was like a copy/paste of the phrases we love, and not much more. Sex scenes were many, but unimaginative and repetitious.

Oh my gosh this book! This is my first books by this author and to say I’m coming back for more!
⚠️Please read all triggers before reading this book!⚠️
Lilly has had a hard freaking life! But getting saved by the princes of hell?! This book isn’t for the faint of heart. Super spicy! Their were PLENTY of spicy scenes so you are definitely satisfied in that area. A book with good spice and story line?! 🤯
I hope Keir lightens the flip up because I need more from him! Nicolas 💙and Aiden ❤️ have a special place in my heart! I need book two pronto!
I love this book!! The overall story is so interesting and is very spicy, 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️, I couldn’t put it down. The dynamic between Lilly, Keir and the twins, Aiden and Nicholas, is just perfection. Lilly, Aiden and Nicholas are a pretty kinky trio but they are perfect for each other. There is so much tension between Keir and Lilly. Keir thinks he’s protecting Lilly by resisting his need/feelings for her but you can see they could be so good for each other if he just gives in! I want to see them happy together! This book ends on one heck of a cliff hanger, I can’t wait to see what happens in book two.

WHAT WAS THAT ENDING?! I need book 2 ASAP!!! This was intense. The amount of shmex in this book was insane, but the plot was also there!!!
On one hand, we had 2, insanely HOT demon twins with fire/ice powers.. who couldn't get enough of the FMC!
Then we had Mr. Shadow D@ddy, who pretends he can't stand her .. when all he wants it a bite himself. It was great banter between these, two, and I found myself yelling at him A LOT!
I thought this was such a great book, and if it wasn't for being sick, I could have devoured this book in a single day! Can't wait for book 2!
Honestly, the story is fantastic, but it ended up getting lost in the middle of so much sex. A little action is always good, but when you spend 80% of the book reading about sex it becomes tiring and loses all the fun of the book, which is a great shame.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ (and a million more)
I love me a good RH where I love every man in the Harem and let me tell you… Keir, Aiden, and Nicholas are doing something for me! (Especially Nicholas because I’m a sucker for a golden retriever that is dominant at the right times *wink wink*). Honestly what RH reader doesn’t fantasize about their own Harem sometimes (and if you say you don’t, it’s okay one day you’ll be able to admit it lol)
First AND Foremost make sure to check the TW’s! S. Lynn did write the TW portions of child SA with warning prior to the events. She also does not go significantly into detail and most of the event(s) are just implied which I personally felt was a nice alternative (in my own opinion). HOWEVER, in chapter 10 she does go more into detail regarding current attempt SA.
Another warning is if you are NOT into twins, but especially who share (and I put HEAVY emphasis on the sharing) then this book may not be for you!
S. Lynn writes the perfect amount of plot but had a way of making the book still full of HEAVY SMUT! Lillian has a fantastic sex life and I’m loving that for her and I’m loving her harem for her.
The book does end on a big cliff hanger (in many ways)! So S. Lynn please get to writing book 2 because I have MANY QUESTIONS that need answers!

I can not wait to join the brothers and their little offering in the next book. I’ll be counting the days til I can jump back in their world and all the spice that comes with it.

Trigger warnings at the start of this book! Once I got through that I couldn’t put it down! This one has some serious spice to it and I cannot wait to read the next one!
Lilly is saved by her 3 men when a night goes wrong. Those three men turn out to be the princes of Hell and she has offered herself to them during a drunken night and the next day she feels she dreamed it all. They find her again and she chooses to leave and go with them to Hell where she had to stay hidden from their father, Satan.
If you’re looking for a spicy read I highly recommend this book!
Please read the triggers before you start this book!! S. Lynn Smith starts the triggers right out of the gate. There is no time to build up to it.
This book was very entertaining! The spice was great🥵 (5/5 🌶). There are a few questions that I was left with at the end, but there is going to be a sequel!
Demons just do it better, and demon twin do everything spectacularly. Throw in a broody older brother, and you have the perfect trifecta!
Very very spicy & dark 🖤 found it a little slow when she finally got to hell and I’m getting fed up with Kier. Glad Lilly got redemption though from those nasty people in her past that poor girl has been through it!

I’m not a big fan of cliffhangers but that one was good! Everything about good book is pretty much fantastic but the bedroom nickname was not my favorite. Will absolutely be reading uber second book when I get my ku back!

I really liked the plot of this book, but I do wish there had been more of it. At times, the story felt a bit overshadowed by the almost excessive amount of sex the characters were partaking in.
I definitely enjoyed the characters. The twins were a fun pair, really knowing how to both lift up and challenge a woman. Keir, on the other hand, frustrated me a bit since he seemed to have a lot of potential, but I was hoping to see more growth from him. Lillian was okay as the main female character, but I found myself enjoying her more as the story went on, especially in the second half.
Even though the book ends on a cliffhanger, I’m not sure I’ll jump into the second book right away. Maybe I’ll pick it up later, but it didn’t grab me enough to make me rush into it right now.

Lillian our FMC is strong, independent, fiesty with a beautiful submissiveness that she gets to explore with some very handsome encouraging prince's of hell whilst also getting to escape the clutches of her neglectful mother.
Keir had my heart breaking and I wanted to cuddle that man up and never let go, with so much on his shoulders that he doesn't want to burden others with he is standoffish and aloof but deep down possessive and jealous, i hope in book 2 he starts to open up more as his character is so beautiful.
The twin demon prince's, Aiden and Nicholas 🔥 now these boys know the ratio of degradation to praise, the caring sweetness of Nicholas pairing with the brute force of Aiden is a match made in hell.
All three prince's care in their own way for our sweet fiesty Lillian, even Keir, no matter how much they all wish he would give in. I can't wait for book number two to see where this goes, overall it has so much potential.
Before reading this please check content warnings ⚠️
Okay, when I say this was one of the better books I read for story/smut time I mean it. 3 chapters in and we are getting some good scenes in, the chapters don’t droll on and on and the POV changes almost every chapter. So not only are you getting action frequently but the storyline behind the characters is amazing.
Lillian is a 23 y/o woman who accidentally opened a portal to hell one night while drinking and when asked by the 3 princes of hell what she’s offering them, she puts her whole body on the alter. She quickly finds out that one of the brothers doesn’t seem too interested but the twins are very eager to accept such a delicious offering.
Incase that wasn’t enough to hook you 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ DP/DVP Praise/degradation Why choose Broody older brother Denial of attraction “CRAWL” And one more “GOOD GIRL” 😮💨😮💨
I devoured this book in one day! Immediately there was smut with these 3 morally grey men from Hell. Lilly is stubborn and strong willed but also ruined by these 3 after stumbling into the abandon building. I love what the author did for each brother having their own power and personality. The twins are much softer with Lilly but I can’t deny the tension from Keir makes me want more. He’s gotta give in eventually! I can’t wait to see what book 2 has in store for us!
S. Lynn Smith has created a unique spin on the princes of hell trope. All the possessive, powerful, and protective vibes you could hope for from the three boys. Add in a fiery FMC who embraces her sexuality and you’re bound to have some straight 🔥 times.
✨✨✨✨✨✨
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS SPOILERS
✨✨✨✨✨✨
Wow. I was surprised (in a good way 😏) when the first chapter gave us what we want! That’s right, this is a FAST BURN BABY!
I had so much fun reading and making notes whenever something tickled me, ticked me off, or turned me on.
As I said earlier, S. Lynn really crafted a unique twist on this trope. I really enjoyed that Hell felt more like visiting LA rather than a dark, twisty or red, fiery space existing somewhere in the ether. The fact that “Satan” is a term that passes on to the next one in charge was so interesting! Along with that, the ruling of Hell being run like a corrupt corporation with a dastardly CEO in charge was just 🤌
Now for the boys!
Aiden: oh hot damn Aiden 🥵 my first note for him was “Aiden is a pleasure Dom demon - fuck yeah boi” And let me tell you, that continued throughout!
Nicholas: sweet baby boy Nicholas. I love a good old softie in a RH to balance out the alpha hard edges of the others. Nicholas fulfilled this need!
Keir: oh Keir. My heart. My new obsession. I loved this man since the second he stepped onto the page.
I will leave you with one of my favorite quotes from the book:
“Though I was in hell, these guys took my body to motherfucking heaven.”

Spice factor 5/5. The story line is pretty original, I enjoyed the book overall, it is def a slow burn. I would read the second one because that cliff hanger? I need answers 🤣 the only thing I felt that was missing is the plot didn’t seem to change, and there really wasn’t much character growth. I have more questions then answers, I’m hoping the second book gives more answers.
This book starts with us getting some insight into the FMC's past and what she has had to endure. We then see her drunk and stumbling and unwittingly opens the portal to hell. Straight away, you want to sympathise with the character and everything she has gone through and it helps to connect with her. She has had it rough and she is essentially trying to 'drink' away her problems. The three brothers are interesting. Aiden seems to be the most straight forward one. You would think he was the leader but you can see that he and Nicholas look to their older brother, Kier, for guidance and instruction. I really liked the way that this was written, it was descriptive and you felt the emotion in each word. I enjoyed the world building. It was easy to picture how the boys grew up, how Lilly grew up and what Hell is like. As the story progresses, you do get the sense there is more to Keir and what he feels for Lilly. His brothers keep encouraging him but he refuses to do anything because he believes he will hurt her. He doesn't want to become their father. The spice level in this book is good, and if you have a praise kink, with sexy Demon twins, this one is for you! I enjoyed every one of the spicy scenes, there were a few, but always felt different, so nothing really felt overdone. I also really liked how we got to learn more about the brothers and really got to see how different their personalities were. Lilly's character developed through the book and no longer felt unloved. Her relationship with Keir is a slow-burn, and she can tell there is something between them, but she doesn't understand what, she also doesn't understand why He is so closed off. I am excited to see how their relationship develops in the next book, because I have a feeling they're going to be explosive together! All three brothers care for her deeply and are trying to keep her safe. So after that cliffhanger, book two cannot come quick enough so I can see what will happen next!! I'd recommend this book to fans of paranormal/fantasy, with hot demon princes that are eager to please! I also have to commend the author, being her debut novel, it was wonderfully put together! Well done and thank you!
