Prince of Lust #2
Hell and Its Pleasures
SEQUEL TO THE BEST SELLING PRINCE OF LUST
What had God’s love given you except shame? What had God ever done for you?
Alessandro has forsaken God entirely. Once a devoted priest, he now finds himself ensnared in the dark web of forbidden pleasures after summoning the Prince of Lust, Asmodeus. Despite indulging in every earthly desire, an insatiable void remains within him. With his faith shattered and his soul tainted, Alessandro can no longer stay within the holy confines of the church. Asmodeus has left him with a chilling command: open the gate to Hell.
Driven by a relentless hunger for the ecstasies Asmodeus revealed, Alessandro embarks on a perilous journey into the abyss. Determined to experience those heights of pleasure once more, he confronts the unimaginable horrors that lie in wait. But opening the gate to Hell is no simple feat, and the path is fraught with dangers that threaten to consume him entirely.
Will he achieve his hedonistic ambitions, or will he lose himself completely in the pursuit of desire?

”I will walk into Hell with my eyes on God and let the demons take me from behind.”
this is so extremely depraved and i ate that shit up!!! so excited the author has announced PRINCE OF LUST will be a 5 book series because this shit is very dark and i am very here for it!! this a hotter than hell (literally) win for the religious trauma babes 🥵🥵
”[…] and if that was the case, if the creatures here expected nothing more of me than to take their cocks and their cum, then it was Heaven, not Hell, I had wandered into.”

Umm, I think this second instalment went a little too crazy. It went in this obscure and deranged way. Honestly, it’s to be expected, it’s Hell after all. Yet it was just way too hardcore for me, especially the last part. 😬 And I’ve read some gruesome things. I mean on my review on the first one I said that the sex was mid. I think I jinxed myself. Because this here went over the top. I guess it’s nice to know your limits.
I won’t give up on this story. All of Alessandro’s struggles are very interesting and a lot of things make sense. Just the depravity goes way too hard for me in this one. Who knows what’s gonna happen in the next one. 🫢

"i will walk into hell with my eyes on god and let the demons take me from behind" - 2 stars for this quote alone because the rest was icky and asmodeus wasn’t even there??!

I don't mean to yuck anyone's yum, but I'm traumatized
June 20, 2024
This is a WILD turn from what we got in the first novella and it's dark and smutty and twisted but I ate it up like ice cream. I think I read this in like 1 hour, a single sitting, and I was fully enthralled. I'm so invested in this story.
Please note, this is not going to be for everyone, but if you have some religious trauma, dare I say this might be for you.

The second installment of the Prince of Lust series underwhelmed me a bit due to several reasons:
- the proofreading. In something as short like this series, I can forgive less than a handful of grammatical faux pas. In this regard, Prince of Lust was basically perfect. Hell and Its Pleasures on the other hand is rampant with editing errors, from missing punctuation (yes, as in there are several paragraphs that end with no period!) to wrong words being used based on sentence context (be instead of me, me instead of my, to name the simplest). The sheer frequency of these mistakes makes it seem like this story was put out in a rush before it was truly ready for publication and was not given the proper read-throughs that would have easily caught these errors. It cheapens the end result significantly and dulls the reading experience.
- the Stockholm syndrome-like scene with the bishop was either wholly unnecessary or would have been better delivered later in the series since at that point the MC wasn’t entirely lost to his desires. The way this was presented was just gross honestly.
- there was overall less demon sex than in the first installment, despite this one being a little longer. Then when we finally got to said demon sex it escalated from 0-10000 so fast and so brutally I practically got whiplash. Now that the MC has thoroughly given in to his quest for pleasure, pretty much anything presented from here on out as far as sexual content is concerned should theoretically make complete sense to the plot (because there is still a base concept, somewhere somehow, amongst all of the sex and the search for it) but the sex aspects in Hell and Its Pleasures was just not handled very well, especially in comparison to Prince of Lust.
I will still continue the series as it releases, and hope that the story content and quality improve back to the same level as we were given in Prince of Lust.

Well this was…definitely darker than the first installment in this series.
I must admit I enjoyed this less because the degradation here was more intense. Not appealing. Must confess that wasn’t enjoyable to read at all.
Still. I understand why this second novella pushed the boundaries further as that’s the whole point. Alessandro must leave behind his faith and self-hatred in order to be worthy of Asmodeus’ time… but this didn’t change how unpleasant certain moments in this were.
Still. I plan to read the sequel 🤷🏻♀️ I want to know what happens next 👀

I enjoy Lucien's writing a lot but did notice a few typos and think it could've benefitted from an extra beta read to polish it up a lil more! I was hoping for more of Asmodeus as well, and some of the sexual things went a little too hardcore for me but I still enjoyed it 👹

”You are seen and you are known and you are found filthy.”
FACT: Corruption arcs are one of my all time favorite things in literary existence.
A corruption arc with demons? The very beings that invented the possibility of such a thing? SUPERB.
Sacrilege.
Blasphemy.
Degradation.
Blood sacrifice.
Forbidden religious tomes.
Journey into hells realm.
It’s got everything.
Bring on the next one.

another one!
I loved this just as much as the first book. Him getting used and abused in hell! Now I’m ready for the next book!

well, what can i say... it was a damn good follow-up! the atmosphere and tension are spot-on, and alessandro’s story just kept getting more intense in the best way. i was genuinely glad to see the narrative take a darker turn — the ramped-up degradation and more extreme encounters worked beautifully here — it all felt like such a natural (and satisfying) shift! the writing is gorgeous and immersive throughout, and alessandro’s yearning, conflict, and emotional unraveling were portrayed in such a visceral and fascinating way--- it hit hard.
i enjoyed this journey immensely!
p.s. ngl, i was a bit thrown by the low(er) rating at first, but i guess it’s just people not vibing with those scenes, lol. whatever — the book slaps
p.p.s the covers! u g h

Finished this in about an hour. Got exactly what I paid for: horny, nasty, unapologetic demon fucking.
If you're looking for devotion, murder in the name of it, dubious consent, (sexy?) crucifixion, demon fucking, religious themes and shame and trauma, and filthy smut in under 100 pages: you're in the right place.
This book was a huge improvement on the first in this series. It's better-written and though this is erotica, the plot was actually kind of good? I was actually so gripped by this book. It took a much darker avenue than the first! I was into this book before we even got into the actual smut, which I was not at all expecting.
It also rectified my only complaint after reading the first book, which was that they didn't go as hard on the religious trauma and shame as I would've liked. I get why, but this book really delivered there for me. It's nothing overly in-depth, considering this is a >100 page erotica, but I found it to be oddly faithful to actual religious trauma and shame in parts? A welcome surprise, for sure.
My one and only problem with this book is that it did need just a little more time and care in editing. I did catch a few jarring typos and errors. It wasn't enough to ruin my reading experience, however.
I can't give it 5 stars in the context of what I usually read, because that would put it up with books I don't think it at all equates to, but it deserves a 4 from me. Did exactly what it came to do and exactly what you should be expecting after reading the first book, was unapologetic and downright dirty, dove further into what was established in the first book and did more with it, and didn't overstay its welcome. I respect it.
Props to Lucien Burr for writing and publishing this filth. Love to see it lol

This is the sequel to “Prince of Lust” following our previous Priest, Alessandro who has forsaken God in the name of lust. My true rating would be a 1.5 stars simply because I still believe Lucien Burr should’ve wrote one full book instead of four short novellas, it would truly make the story blend together easier but alas, what’s done is done. I did enjoy it, it was somehow even smuttier than the first one and even less for the faint of heart but Lucien Burr has quotes for days!! He writes in Alessandro’s point of view with the reverence of someone who has dedicated such long years of their life to God. It’s impressive to say the least. Here are my favorite quotes:
“For some, a serenity is found in this quiet but painful limbo. They can live with the threat of Hell and be comforted by the promise of Heaven. Peace comes to them in waves, and they may live in the quiet of the lord’s whisper, where He soothes their worries and ensures they are safe. His children. These are the people who believe they are inherently good. Inherently righteous. But what of those of us who stray from God’s light? What of those of us sinners who turn our backs with glee?”
“I will walk into Hell with my eyes on God and let the demons take me from behind” WOAH
“The human part of me was understandably frightened. I hugged at myself, aware of my nakedness the way Adam and Eve had likely become aware of it; gone was all that joyous pleasure that had come with my nudity, and I was left with guilt and shame once more.”
“I had been cowardly for too long, unable to commit in spirit to what my body had already done. But now, with the shackles loosened, I could slip free. God could not see me here. Only Asmodeus could.”

Um...what (take 2)
I want to make something clear. I'm fine with the content of this. It's blasphemous erotica, cool. What I'm not the biggest fan of, and what makes this a little hard to get into, is the writing style.
I brought this up when I reviewed the previous installment to this, how the right is wordy and it can get a little convoluted. Well, here it's worse. It is extremely wordy and there were several occasions I was confused or my mind drifted off because I felt like I was back in high school reading Dante's inferno, take that to me what you will. It's smutty and dark but it's not a fun read because of how heavy and dense the writing is. There's definitely an audience for this but I'm not her. I'm a simple b¡tch, I won't apologize. Three stars because I'm crazy enough to keep going. Who knows, maybe it will get better. Wishful thinking I know.

November 6, 2024I... genuinely have no idea what to think or how to rate this.
to those who felt that this was too gratuitously gruesome - friends, I see you
to those who felt that this was gratuitously gruesome but were still too invested in how Alessandro's journey is going to continue, is there a support group we can form, or...?
please note that this series is not for everyone. honestly I'd venture to say that most people wouldn't enjoy this. but if you're looking for some gratuitously gruesome (yes, I will continue to say that bc there's literally no other way to describe it) and heavily degradation-focused sex scenes all aimed at breaking the bonds of religious trauma and the shackles of shame, then... bon apetit and godspeed, babe, you're gonna need it.

August 22, 2025The best part of this book is the fact that Asmodeus isn't even there because I don't like him. Instead we have gay porn version of Dante's Inferno (I mean, even gayer version of Inferno, there is a reason why Bouguereau's "Dante and Virgil in Hell" exists), that is our brave, horny protagonist commits murder (yey!) to open gates of Hell and walks into it to get laid. And then he is sexually tortured (and very into it) in every circle he is passing. I really liked the second circle, it was getting into Clive Barker's Hellraiser territory of blasphemy and eroticized body horror. Fuck yeah baby, get nailed to the cross and railed.

Here I am once again! I read the first one and focused so much on the story that it kind of made me feel uncomfortable. I gave it 2 stars and decided I didn't like it that much. But then... the second book tempted me to start it and give this whole priest x demon another chance and hear me out. This time, my 4 stars consisted of how much I ABSOLUTELY LOVED the gorgeous writing and how the author described Don Alessandro better in his desperate want and need. My boy went through hell literally for that strong vitamin D. I'm sticking with this, got me curious as heck!!!

not like the first, but not bad
The first book was magic to me: this one? A little more on the realm of a magic shop. It had the bells and whistles (metaphors of sex with demons as a way to reconcile your feelings about religion) but it didn’t feel as cohesive as the first one. It also had major squicks for me (bloated belly from demon juice) and actual physical pain. I’ll definitely read the next one when it comes out but I hope it’s more like the first

Well, I don't know how I got blind sided a second time. I guess I might be just stupid. I didn't expect just more smut I DON'T KNOW LOL
I just thought well I expect there to be smut but I thought there would be something more too especially since it left on such a cliff hanger. It still ended the same way though lol.
It's probably great if you're coming for porn without plot though! I just...listen I am stupid.

Did I... did I say the first book was vanilla? Did I really say that? Well, fill me up and fuck me sideways because this went from 0-10000000 in a blink of an eye.
Just as (if not more) visceral than the first, with content that even I (ice-cold bitch-queen) had to read twice to fully digest. I'll give this book a slow round of applause as I sit here in shock... and I think I'll actually need a break from the series before reading the next one.
