Reluctantly Hellbound

Rate this book
Every good witch craves a wicked adventure—an affair with a bad boy. The fact that I’ve always been an over-achiever is probably the reason I went after the king of the bad boys. Scratch that. Rainer Vigil isn’t their king. He’s a dictator who claimed the title in a brutal coup. Still, I had everything under control, or so I told myself at the time.

Rainer turned out to be more than I expected. He’s a fallen angel, and he lives in the demon realm—two facts I didn’t learn until after he’d bound his magic to mine. For three decades, I’ve avoided him, all the while pretending I don’t still dream about his touch. It’s over between us, or so I thought until Rainer showed up to help me out of a sticky situation.

Now, Rainer is determined to convince me we belong together, but I’m not about to fall for the arrogant fallen angel again. All I have to do is avoid being alone with him. It should be easy, right? After all, what’s he going to do? Drag me off to demon realm and threaten to keep me there until I promise to give him a chance?

Take my advice; never underestimate how far a desperate fallen angel will go to get what he wants.

Marie's Tempting Reads ARC Review:

ADORE THE HELL OUT OF THESE SPELLS THAT BIND STORIES! Cassandra Lawson brings us a new book in her Spells That Bind series with Reluctantly Hellbound and what a wild, magical, crazy exciting ride it was!

This is Rainier and Evie's story. It was loaded with adventure, romance, EXTREME SEXY TIMES, danger, action and with all our favorite characters. I fell in love hard fast and easily with this book. Rainier is so gorgeous and bad in a VERY HOT AND GOOD WAY and Evie tries so hard to fight her attraction to him...the attraction she had for him for what seems like forever none the less. I liked how the different portals and familiars and worlds seem so descriptive. I could get a perfect picture in my head because everything was described so well. It was awesome and wholly magical! I LOVED EVERYTHING about this book!

Reluctantly Hellbound gets a BRILLIANT AND BRIGHT FIVE SHOOTING STARS!

Loved it!!!

Brilliant book 😊 just as good as all the others that have come before. It was fast paced with a strong main storyline other than the romance. I can't fault this read in anyway, I'm glad rainer and Evangeline got their own story I had so many questions about their relationship and now I have the answers 😇.

I would just like to thank the author for the note at the end that mentioned the moon virus series 😬 I've been waiting patiently for the next book to come out and now I see its coming real soon 😬 I might go re read the moon virus series now that I have finished the spells that bind series.

Cassandra Lawson is such a talented author 💖 and I cant wait to see where this series goes next.

Of all the couple in this series, I like Evie and Rainer the best, They have history....a not so good one...but none the less...history. Rainer has never gotten over Evie, and probably never will. He has hung in the background for years waiting..... Evie still has a thing for Rainer, though she just wont admit it, her magic, cat, body and heart know it....but she won't give in. Besides, who wants to live in hell even if it is with Rainer?
After an issue with a pack she hadin which he helped her, Rainer is determined to make Evie realize he is the one for her. In a last ditch effort, he get her to agree to a deal....30 days...if she feels it is a mistake, then he will never bother her again.
Love this story... highly recommend it.

This entire series is just fun! I've received ARCs for each of them, but that doesn't make me biased. It makes me very happy because I love these books!

This one is about Evie and Rainer, characters who have appeared in other stories but have never received much attention. I enjoyed reading about the dynamics of their relationship.

This book clearly has good guys and bad guys, but at times it is unclear who is who. It made for some great suspense. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I recommend it.

I have been waiting for this story!!!! Love love loved Evie and Rainer’s story. This author never fails to deliver a delightful romance wrapped up in an intriguing bit of drama all set in the paranormal world I love. This series is definitely one of my favorites and as always can’t wait for the next one. Everyone needs these stories in their life!!!

Evie is hung up on the past. Can she avoid her warlock, fallen angel forever?

Rainer is frustrated. He knows his witch won’t be pushed but he’s barely holding it together. Who can blame him? 30 years is a long time.

Loved it! Love this series as a whole! Can’t wait for more. I did want more from this book but I’m greedy.

I'm late to the game

I just fell in love. The characters, the drama, the love, just the book in general spoke to me. I felt the emotions of the characters (that includes that cat). I don't know how I missed the first five books but I plan on correcting the error of my ways.

Great book with nicely developed characters and amazing storytelling. This author just smashes it every time.
This book is a great stand alone, but you will want to read all of them.... trust me!
