Devil's Angel

Paradise #1

by Julie Capulet

Three powerful families. Three arranged marriages. And one beautiful stranger with a secret who changes everything.

Cassidy
They say family is something you’re born with. Mine abandoned me long ago. They say true love is a myth. Mine showed up as a gorgeous devil who almost killed me. I fought back. Our bodies and our hearts knew, even if our realities would never allow it.

Knox
I’m one of five heirs to the Ramsey fortune and a hundred acres of tropical paradise on the island of Kauai. I’m also the chosen one—a detail that’s about to ruin my life. My marriage will be arranged, to secure the alliance between families.

But when a chance encounter with a mysterious stranger literally slays me, she changes everything. This is more than obsessive lust. It’s the kind of star-crossed love worth dying for. And it’s a risk I’m willing to take. Because settling for a future without her is no longer an option.

Devil's Angel is a steamy standalone new adult arranged marriage romance with a twist, set in paradise.

[Carol [Goodreads Addict] · Rating 5 out of 5]

Devil’s Angel is book one in the brand new series, Paradise by Julie Capulet. I’ve been looking forward to reading this for so long. And I loved it!



Cassidy Meadow Kelley is twenty one years old and lives in Honolulu. She grew up in the system and has no one. She’s been trying her hardest to work and keep herself fed and safe but is mostly barely squeaking by. It’s a mix of bad luck, good luck, fate and determination that brings her to the island of Kauai and also brings her to Knox.



Knox Ramsey is one of five siblings of the Ramsey clan. They are rich, powerful and also a close-knit family. They live on the island of Kauai in a fortress they built to protect themselves from their enemies. Two of Knox’s family MUST marry a member of either of the two other powerful families that live on the other islands to keep an alliance in place between the three families. If they don’t fulfill this requirement, then their family will be cursed. Knox is who holds the responsibility of fulfilling this legacy.

“If the families break the bond, there will be dire consequences.
The bond must not be broken.
The rule became known as The Angel’s Curse.”



Cassidy and Knox come together in a clash of blood and lust, bonding them in a way that can’t be broken. Knox is willing to forget everything, to risk the curse, for Cassidy.

“You’re the one. My sunlit angel. My Cassidy. Mine.”



This story is filled with plenty of steam, plenty of swoon, and all kinds of danger. Who knew living in paradise could be so dangerous! I already love this family, these Ramsey siblings. They will do anything for each other. I love the way they live off their land, grow their own food, hunt and fish. They truly live in paradise. I can’t wait for the next book in the series, Wild Hearts, which will be Knox’s brother, Wolf’s book.

“Twin hearts that beat as one.”

Great start to amazing new series from Julie Capulet
✔️Steamy Scenes
✔️arranged marriage
✔️ crazy good twist
✔️. Criminal ties
And so much more

Cassidy Meadow Kelley, her life is nothing anyone would write home about! See, she got dealt a hand in life that most people wouldn’t choose

Cassidy been through a dozen foster homes by the time she was ten. And she ran away from the worst of them when she was sixteen

Cassidy is determined to crawl her way up life’s ladder, with bloody hands if she has to, and trust me she has blood on her hands after running for her life from unwanted pursuit from her landlord



You would think that Knox Ramsey, his life would be a fantasy come true, since he comes from, one of the three most powerful families on the island, of Hawaii. But Knox has been chosen to marry into one of the two other founding families of Angel’s Isle in a tradition known as the Angel’s Curse.


Yeah Knox’ might live in castle like home on his family’s estate …. And yeah yeah, he might spend most of his time swimming and hunting all day…. But that doesn’t mean he does not fear the family Curse.

Julie has always written these amazing and Delightful steamy stories that really captured you from the 1st page, and she truly didn’t disappoint me on this one either

I am really looking forward to reading more about these three powerful families

Julie did it again with her amazing books as always❤️❤️ If you want to read safe romance with great chemistry then go check this author😍😍😍 It won't disappoint you!

I can't stop reading it. I can't wait for more books from this author and especially from this new series! It made more curious than ever! And yes this author is one of my big top 10 favorites authors.


SO this first book of the series... It first start with the hero, the hero that came from a big generation of family and an a great alliance that is well known in their family for many generations and have a huge history in Hawaii. The history about it is what I liked most, cause it's a mystery and a good one and who doesn't love that.... Is also well known in the family for many generations that this alliance it have to be settled like marriage between them at least one of them need to be married with the other ally's children really needs to always be continued.

“Nathaniel Ramsey(the hero's dad) and his two allies, Luther King and Ransom Fitzpatrick. It’s known as the Angel’s Alliance and it requires a person from each of our three families to intermarry, one each generation More often, we call it the Angel’s Curse. One of the five of us has to marry a King and one has to marry a Fitzpatrick. That’s the rule.”

Or else the famous known curse will cause them the worst. AND one day The hero is called to a family meeting to discuss about the potential females in that alliance. He doesn't like one bit and he is feeling a bit lost at first cause he doesn't want to marry someone he doesn't love. While he is bickering with his family about all of it, they decided for him to wait and for them to figure things out about him. The heroine's story is a sad one in the beginning about her life, not too sad though but sad enough to said it's sad lol. After she left for work and then go to her place, sadly she was caught up with something she never thought it will ever happened to her. She free herself and she got away, she runs away and go the airport. She goes to her flight using the ticket she got it for free, And she heard someone was talking about some safe paradise place on the her flight. Because she was desperate, scared and so lost have no where to go... She goes to the place that she heard from the flight. It was a long journey for her to get there but she did arrived. And then that's when she meet the hero....

Of course about the family alliance history is well detailed in the book but I don't want to give it too much spoiler😆 Sorry. But it sure so fun and mind blowing!

I was a bit sad tho to be honest when I was reading about the heroine and what she been through all her life and even when she was trying to survive in that place where she first meet the hero... But I guess that's the interesting part of the book maybe😆 Cause in the end her hard work and what she been through is payed off....



‼️‼️‼️TRIGGER: Alcohol, killing, violence, mysterious, death, foster care, knives, guns, hospital, almost r*pe, poverty and starvation.

‼️‼️‼️NO CHEATING

‼️‼️‼️NO SEPARATION


‼️‼️‼️LOVE IN FIRST SIGHT.

“Angel. It’s you.”

🥺🥺🥺

“Because you’re the one. I knew it the second I saw you. Because I’ve been looking for you my whole life.”

If you don't know or know about this author and how she made the character hero felt when he first meet the heroine, for me personally I LOVED IT SO MUCH. I DON'T CARE IF YOU SAY CHEESY OR TOO CRAZY, I STILL LOVED IT SO MUCH AND THAT'S HOW MUCH I LOVE THAT THE AUTHOR WRITES ABOUT IT😏❤️


‼️‼️‼️THE HERO IS OTT POSSESSIVE PROTECTIVE BILLIONAIRE ALPHA MALE.

What I find it interesting is that this billionaire is a beach boy, he likes to be in the beach and surfing and go fun nature things. Which is rare to see a hero like this but it's freakin interesting 😍

The hero used to be a manwhor3 like just one night stand only. He doesn't even say he is a manwhor3 though but when the heroine ask how many, he said he didn't keep track and it's always one night stand. And he always wear a condom with them.... Never ever without. AND NOOOO the hero never slept with the alliance's kids ever (just in case you're worried about that)


‼️‼️‼️THE HERO IS INSANELY OBSESSED WITH THE HEROINE... HE WANTS HER SOOO BAD... HE ALWAYS SAYS TO THE HEROINE AND EVERYONE SHE IS MINE. MINE. MINE.

“I can't resist a single thing about you. I’ve never known anyone as beautiful as you are. I would—and have—killed for you. I’d die for you. All of the above means you own me, pure and simple.”

The hero is well known to be so romantic and always say the right words to the heroine🥺❤️


‼️‼️‼️THE HEROINE is a virgin, she's twenty one and all her life she have no idea who's her parents and been surviving all alone. From foster care to another and always work so hard since she was very young. The heroine is a hard working woman who is talented with her making clothes by herself, she is also so nice and very beautiful... Even people called her Angel cause she looks like one they said...

‼️‼️‼️LITTLE JEALOUS SCENES FROM BOTH. But it's there alright 😏

‼️‼️‼️THE HERO IS not a virgin. The heroine is a virgin... And the hero is happy that she's a virgin🥺🥺🥺

‼️‼️‼️THE CHEMISTRY between them oh my goodness... It's soooo freakin romantic AF. So strong that I even cried a bit🥺🥺🥺🥺

‼️‼️‼️Location: Hawaii.

‼️‼️‼️DRAMA WITH OW AND OM but not too annoying and not too much... Mostly the drama is about the alliance and family.

‼️‼️‼️VERY HOT SMUT SCENES OH MY😏😏😏😏

‼️‼️‼️IT HAS talking about past partner from the hero but never more than once and never from the heroine cause the hero was her first only....

‼️‼️‼️BOTH is single when they first meet.

‼️‼️‼️IT HAS PUSHING AWAY from the heroine but only two times and never more (it's not annoying). The hero never push the heroine away...

‼️‼️‼️HAPPY ENDING. MARRIED AND HAVE A BABY❤️




Overall the story is so romantic and cute and fun to read. The history about the family and the characters is great. No unnecessary childish drama...

It's not boring at all... I love every minute of it, I wish it was longer cause that's how much I was obsessed with it😚😚😚 Thank you author❤️❤️❤️❤️




👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽Thank you so much for reading my review❤️❤️ For you who loves my review and follow it, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I did not get paid or be told to do a review on a book. I’m here just to write review about a book so i can remember it. Its my honest opinion😚 I didn’t know at first people will find me and follow me and trust me to be honest, I was surprised myself to look at the notifications from people who reach out to me😆 So everything i write down here on a review is based on my personal opinion and based on my true writing. I DID NOT COPY SOMEONE’S REVIEW OR WRITING SKILL because at first when i was using this app for one year i didn’t know how to scroll down on a book and see the reviews from others😂😅🤣 I know, silly me but hey I finally learned my lesson 😛😛😛 Thats why when people assume i copy someone’s review i was like what? Because at first i didn’t know how to use this app properly and i didn’t know how to open someone’s review because for a year i never follow someone or add friends or someone😂😂😂🤣 (I’m laughing so hard) 🤪 AND I NEVER COPY SOMEONE’S REVIEW EVER. IF I WRITE SOMETHING WRONG OR DOESN’T MAKE SENSE PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND BE NICE OKAY. 👈🏽👈🏽👈🏽✋🏽✋🏽


I have a disclaimer down bellow if you have negative thoughts about my review😙😙😙



🌐🌐🌐➡️↘️⬇️➡️This is my own personal thoughts and opinion about the book so if thats not sit right with you or you feel I’m not being fair blablabla, please know that everybody in this world have their own different things that they like and don’t like. It may not be the same thing with you but thats okay because i am my own person and you cannot control me or tell me what to do. For example; i put ketchup (tomato sauce) on my fried chicken. You think that’s disgusting? For me its not and i’ve been eating it like that for many many years. You tell me to put another sauce and see if i like that better? I already did many many times in years but i still like the way i like it. It’s called differences between me and you and billions people in this world😊 be open minded😙 I respect people’s opinions about my opinions but in the end of the day if i say I don’t like it or i do like it, its up to me and its on me. And in the end of the day i always liked and show my respect to books and people’s opinions on books whenever that book is good or not good in my opinion 😊 Respect people’s opinions guys😙😙 I don’t want to write this down because its not really my thing to do it. To like address something like this when obviously i know the people who’s been reading my reviews many times and all the time, they are smart enough to understand and respect other people’s opinions no matter what their opinions on book or their point of view 😙😙 am i right? 💕 also there are people even though i already write “this book is different because i have my own taste of book” those people still comment my taste is this and that when HELLO… everybody have their own thoughts on books and what they want to read… why i read it then? I read it and give it a review because i have to read a book to give it a review… why not read the description book to understand before I’m going to read it? Hello just in case you haven’t notice, description books can be tricky because they write this amazing things about a book but turns out the story is so toxic. Maybe for me its toxic but not for you? YES HELLO THATS WHY US HUMAN BEING HAVE OUR DIFFERENCES, WHAT I LIKE IT DOESN’T MEAN YOU WILL LIKE IT AND EITHER WAY TOO. why i still write the review then if i just don’t like a book? Because I CAN and i want to, you cannot tell me what to do and not what to do🤪 if you still wants to be negative and be karens about my review on book after all of what i just write, i will never acknowledge you and simply ignore you because its not that hard🙏 I won’t respond to negativity comments🙏🏼🙏🏼 DON’T ASK ME AGAIN ABOUT WHY NOT RESPONDING TO YOUR NEGATIVE COMMENTS BECAUSE I ALREADY SAY IT HERE AND I WON’T BE EXPLAINING AGAIN BECAUSE WE’RE NOT CHILDREN SO ITS NOT HARD FOR YOU AN ADULT TO UNDERSTAND😌😌 YES MY REVIEW IS LONG BUT YOU READ IT ANYWAY AND ITS FINE ACTUALLY I CAN WRITE AS LONG AS I LIKE😎 YES MY GRAMMAR IS BAD SOMETIMES AND MAYBE ALL THE TIME BUT LUCKILY MANY PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT I’M SAYING🤪 ⬅️↖️↕️⬅️↩️⤴️

[Melluvsbooks · Rating 4 out of 5]

Julie Capulet is my favorite Instalove writer, if I were to have one. She's like Jessa Kane but slightly toned down with a bit more depth. A tiny bit longer than a true novella, this book had all the stuff I've come to expect and look forward to:

- sweet young naive virginal h - with a sad backstory - a damsel in distress of sorts - she’s just this side of homeless and an orphan
- hot jealous/possessive/protective alpha - he's even more immediately obsessed than she is.
- instalove with a little bit of *mysticism* and sexual thrall
- deliciously toxic levels of codependence
- a dash of kink
- a tiny bit of angst - this time of the OW/OM drama variety and his need to enter an arranged marriage
- the H swoops in and fixes all the bad stuff in the h's life
- tidy sweet swoony ending

I mean.... it's a good formula. 🤷🏼‍♀️



What I didn't like?

- HOLY INFO DUMP BATMAN! - the first 30% we get bombarded with all the background of all the people in this world. The MCs don't meet until 35%. In a 260 page book. Look, I'm obviously not professional author, but it feels like there's gotta be a way of providing these details as we move through the story. If this had been a first read of this author for me, I would have bailed at 20%

- I kind of wished the Hero had to make a tough decision. I wanted to know what his plan was going to be... how was he gonna Alpha-rig this situation so he got to keep his girl? but it's taken out of his hands. 😕

- the h gets dressed up super sexxy for a party and we're set up to expect the Hero's head to explode when he sees her... but WOMP-WOMP... she just gets *ANGRY EYES* from across the room. I really wanted that jealous/possessive hissy fit scene. Definitely a miss.

- when we are in the info dump *ahem* ✨WORLD BUILDING✨ part of the book, the hero and his family come off as insufferable spoiled assholes. Oh poor them. 🙄 They HAVE to live in an island paradise and be rich and surf and sh*t. 👀 Poor pitiful rich kids. 😒 And they would use slang that hammered home the point, such as "mod-con" for "modern conveniences".... Yes, folks, our super Alpha "Island Devil" who is a trained killer/fighter/survivalist used "mod-con" in a sentence IN HIS HEAD. 👀😐
See. Insufferable. 😐
(He improves, but that detail had me very close to shutting the book)


Bottom Line? This was a fun read. It wasn't my favorite of hers, but definitely not bad. 3.5 stars





⚠️SAFETY SQUAD SPOILERS⚠️
- no cheating or sharing
- no dubcon
- lite OW drama - she meets the girl who the Hero was supposed to marry - she convinces the h to run away to "save" the hero - the H has never had relations with her
- no OM drama
- h is a 21 yr old virgin
- H is maybe mid 20's? It's not confirmed - he's experienced
- sexual assault is alluded to and attempted by OP... it doesn't get very far
- lactation kink - first 2 are basically fantasy - and the last is the real deal
- no condoms - the H tells the h he's never had sex without a condom - the h thinks she can't get pregnant because she's so undernourished she doesn't have periods

Fourth generation Paradise resident, Knox Ramsey’s great great great grandfather passed down nearly a hundred square miles of land on Kauai, making the Ramsey family Hawaiian royalty.

Taking his brother’s place in the Angel’s Alliance, a modern day arranged marriage between two powerful families, Knox is duty-bound to wed a member of the King or Fitzpatrick families.

When he spots a trespasser on Paradise, everything clicks into place. Yet a happily ever after won’t be found easily for Cassidy, the hard scrabble yet strong heroine and her devil.

Although some elements have a bit of a predictability in the trajectory, Devil’s Angel is a new and incredibly interesting take on a popular trope. The story is angsty, captivating, and exciting. Julie’s world building and attention to detail is top-notch. Likewise, her ability to craft the backbone of the tale around a cultural legend without making it paranormal was brilliant. I was late to the party with Devil’s Angel, but I’ll be clearing my schedule for Wolf’s story in Wild Hearts!

LOVED, LOVED, LOVED!!!
I absolutely adored everything about this book.

Powerful, passionate, all-consuming. Those are just a few words that describe this gorgeous love story between Knox and Cassidy. I finished days ago and I’m still thinking about these two. Their chemistry, their bond, the intoxicating need to be together, no matter the cost.

Their meet-cute wasn’t so…cute. It was quite intense, dangerous, almost fatal actually. But it seemed to only bring them closer. Their first moments together were swirling with emotions, full of heart-pounding goodness, and immediately bursting with so much love.

I couldn’t get enough. I wanted to live inside this story. And at times, I felt like I was.

The seductiveness of this story made the pages snap crackle and pop beneath my fingers. The intensity of certain scenes made my heart beat a little bit faster. The burning desire between Knox & Cassidy sizzled, and I swear flames were coming off the pages.

I. Felt. Everything.

From the flutters in the belly to the love at first sight. From the instant attraction to the lusty thoughts. From the WANT to the NEED to the inexplicable pull toward each other.

Julie never disappoints. I can always count on her to give me a Hero to daydream about and a heroine I’d like to be. Knox was absolutely magnificent and he made me so badly want to be the one he couldn’t live without. I fell for him. Hard.

Not only were the main characters utterly amazing, but the entire cast of this story was equally intriguing and lovable and made me want to know them more…intimately.

I’m anxiously awaiting for more of this series. Why? Because surely, Julie will rock my socks off again and again with the other books, exactly like she did with this one. I’m ready…bring it.

3.5 ⭐️

Knox and his siblings have a curse on there family name they have to marry someone from the other families to make sure nothing bad happens. And Knox hates the idea since 1. He wants to marry for love and 2. He dislikes all the woman from the other families because he doesn't see a hea with them. Until he chases down a angel who was in his family compound. And he is sprung shes his angel the one who he's been dreaming about. Cassidy has been a orphan pretty much her whole life and working day and night and a tattoo and something left by her mother she's in danger now shes with Knox and feels something deep for the guy but she does keep her walls sorta up since she knows Knox can't be with her She just doesn't know the full story or the curse she knows that Knox has to get married to one of the families. SO there is alil angst but that doesng stop Knox from keeping her. Nope he doesn't care for the curse or what happens to him. Some secerts and shocking moments happen. You kinda figure it out pretty fast but I can't wait for the next brother.

Slight op drama, drama, secondary charas, sexy times, virgin gal and sorta manwhore (he had his fill before meeting h)

💙~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`💙

My random thots-

#️⃣THIS BOOK. THIS EFFING BOOK. I FINISHED IN.......... 4 hours? Yes. I INHALED this.

#️⃣If you have read beautiful savages by JC , you might find this book is a LOT similar and a LOT different from that one.

#️⃣I soooooo much wanna reveal the plot , but .......... it will kinda ruin the fun so..... I'd say that you READ this book.

#️⃣Keep in mind that the plot is a LOT more riveting.

#️⃣The suspense is a LOT more engaging.

#️⃣The sex is a LOT more steamy.

#️⃣The Alpha is a LOT more possessive.

#️⃣I added the photos of all the Ramsey siblings to subtly indicate that this series is going to be wayyyyyyyyy more hot and wayyyyyyyyyy more dramatic than ANY other series that JC has ever written.

#️⃣You need to keep in mind that this book is completely 180 from her other works. Because, first of all there is this HUGE suspense.

#️⃣Then the way EVER EVERY EVERYYYYYYY character in this book is related, it will make the series more interesting as the series progresses.

#️⃣Because i am telling you that there are at least 10 Alpha Hs that you are about to meet in this series, but I'm not sure if JC will write a book on all of them.

#️⃣But don't worry, the hs (mostly) will still be strong feisty virgins. And the Hs will still be jealous possessive foul mouthed cavemen.

#️⃣TRUST me people this book is SO NOT WHAT you think it is. It was a little longer than other books but I finished it FASTER than I did the others.😂😂

#️⃣Probably because how GOOD and INTENSE and SUSPENSEFUL this was.

#️⃣While you will read , you will come across side characters a LOT.

#️⃣By reading this book you will know what you are about to read next in this series.

#️⃣At one point I was wishing for the side characters to disappear and not show there faces in this book, but they kept coming.

#️⃣Anyways, I have decided which character's book i have to read in Paradise series and which one i have to avoid.

#️⃣I REPEAT. DO NOT MISS THIS ONE. IT WAS WORTH 4 HOURS!!!!

#UPNEXT #VIVIWOLFE #PARADISE2


💌 BEST LINES- 💌

I force myself to hold it together. I’m not prepared for the power of him. The
sheer size of him and the violent allure. His chest is broad and muscular, his neck
suntanned and corded, pulsing lightly with his heartbeat and a warmth I can practically
feel. His tattoos are fascinating me. A dragon. Swirling spirals. The sun. Stars. The eightpack of his abs are flat and defined. The unholy reveal of the V above his low-slung belt
is blowing my mind. My gaze wanders back up to his face, which is sort of killing me.
He’s everything you wish you could have.
I can’t possibly win against this god-like creature. You get the feeling fate
wouldn’t allow it.


I’ve never kissed anyone. Not even once. Not a single person.
I never had parents or loved ones. I’ve never bonded with anyone who cared for
me enough to give them this part of myself. But now, with this dazzling stranger, I want
to know what it feels like.


You have me. Because once you stab me, heal me then kiss me, you own me. I’m
afraid there’s no getting rid of me now that we’re bonded in blood



“I’ll heal you, Knox. I’ll give you everything.”
Fuck yeah. “My angel is pleased with me. She’s enchanting my life.”


He tastes like lust. He tastes like
dreams coming true.


“You’re sacred to me,” he continues, and his voice is husky with emotion. “You’re
the one. My sunlit angel. My Cassidy. Mine.”


“We’ll burn together.”
“We’ll die together,” he says.


“What do you love?”
“That’s easy. My angel girl. She owns my heart.”
“And you own mine, Knox Ramsey.”
But will it be enough?


“Do you, Knox Alexander Ramsey take Cassidy Madison King to be your lawfully
wedded wife?”
“I do.” His smile basically lights up my life.
“And do you, Cassidy Madison King take Knox Alexander Ramsey to be your
lawfully wedded husband?”

[Booklover Judy Lynn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Book one in a new series can be read as a standalone and ends with a HEA. It also sets the stage for more books to come in the series that centers on a feud and alliances between four families. The setting is the luxurious Hawaiian Islands. No one does a better job at describing lush luxury than this author. You can feel the breeze, taste the champagne, and smell the ocean as you become immersed in this world. This is written in first person from an alternating dual POV.
Knox and Cassidy meet under some unusual circumstances, leading to near death experiences for each of them. The connection between them is instant and intense. I adored Cassidy. She has not had an easy life and she is fierce and tough because of it. She has also maintained as much of her innocence as she could while fighting her whole life to survive. She is creative, determined, and brave. When luck gives her a shot at a new start, she jumps with both feet. Knox is bound by duty to an arranged marriage within the alliance or submit to the curse. His feelings for Cassidy are so instant and intense that he questions if submitting to the curse might be worth it.
This is a hot, hot book. Readers who like high heat are going to love this. The hero is a protective alpha male who needs his heroine with everything he has. Cassidy, who has never experienced love, gets to experience it in near-obsessive way from Knox. The underlying story of the families in alliance, the feud, and danger they face is well-crafted and sucked me in. I love the way the family relationships felt real while being diverse and somewhat eccentric at times. I read this whole book in one sitting. Though the first few chapters were used to set the scene, once I engaged, I could not stop. The author does an incredible job setting up for the next books, leaving the reader wanting more right now. I have really enjoyed all the other books by this author, but I think this may be my new favorite.
I am voluntarily leaving this honest review after receiving an advance reader copy of the book.

Smoking Hot!

I think I have steam coming out of my ears this book was so hot!!
Cassidy was abandoned when she was a small baby. She always had to scrape by but she wants to better herself. Her secrets will change everything.

“Feed me your beauty, angel.” His voice is husky and deep.

Knox Ramsey is rich and privileged with a curse hanging over his head.

The most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen isn’t an apparition at all but a living, breathing, lethal little nymph who has literally walked straight out of my wildest fantasies.

There first meeting is explosive and from there on combustible.

You’re here. Do you know how long I’ve been searching for you? I need you, angel.”

I’m so in love with this insta love story and everything this author writes. I just can’t get enough.

When I found out that Julie Capulet, an author who draws me into her stories so effortlessly, was writing a brand new series, believe me, I was all ears. Impatiently waiting for book 1 in her Paradise series was the hard part, but then Devil's Angel exceeded all my expectations and delivered a brand new, well thought out world set in the Hawaiian Island, as rugged and gorgeous as the varied cast of characters who inhabit this place and story.

Between the pages of this book, I found Paradise and so much more. This lush and idyllic family seat of the current generation of one of the founding families, considered island royalty of sorts, is the setting for this story in the wild, untamed world of Devil's Angel. The Ramsey's are unbelievably wealthy, outrageously good looking- with all 5 siblings, primed and completely willing to use their intelligence and particular skillsets to defend their land and legacy from anyone stupid enough to try to take it from them.

If you're looking for an exciting and different type of romance, you're going to find it here. There's more than enough action, intrigue and suspense to keep you parked in your favorite chair for hours, so sleep might be off the menu while you devour this book. This expansive world,
with its unexpected plotlines and delicious twists adds plenty of mystery to get lost in, but let's not forget all that steamy goodness that's usually woven into this author's wonderful stories.

I loved getting to know Cassidy- the brave, beautiful orphan with the face of a goddess or maybe an angel. She arrived in Paradise alone and out of her depth, but her bold, quick thinking actions kept her going, even when the odds were stacked against her.  Cassidy and Knox cross paths in a way neither could have planned or imagined which quickly drives them both out of their minds and into each others arms. She hides her secrets in plain sight while Knox tries to outrun his own. Both have a lot to lose, including their hearts.

'I hold her face and softly kiss her lips. She tastes like sugar and starlight. She tastes like my wildest dreams.'

I love when this author wows me with her hot, intense, fantasy inducing alpha men that fall so hard when the woman of their dreams pop up and throws them for a loop. In Knox's case, consequences, convention and curses be damned, as he tries to find his way out of the hell that awaits him and into the heart and soul of his sweet, beautiful angel girl. Their chemistry is hot, explosive and undeniable.
Everyone around them is well aware that Knox is smitten and their plans to tie him to a future with anyone other than this beautiful stranger are off the table. But, villians will be villians and they'll try any means necessary to get what they want, but they could be in for a world of trouble and a battle they can never win.

As one couple wraps themselves up in their beautiful new found love, another Ramsey sibling has their work cut out for them. Wondering who that might be?  You'll have to read Devil's Angel to find out all those details. This was a fun, sexy escape from reality and exactly the kind of book I love to get lost in. I know for sure that I'll be waiting impatiently to return to Paradise again and the irresistible danger that lurks within this world.

I received an early copy to read and review. These are my honest thoughts after finishing Devil's Angel.

One for the OTT j/p readers
It was okay because he reminds me of Travis Maddox in some ways but something was missing for me. I assumed it was a modern/present time story yet it read like that of an older period. This was in direct contrast to the high tech security systems and private jets etc, so I couldn't settle into a comfortable reading flow. I'll try the next books.

A beautiful gripping, consuming and passionate story!
Knox and Cassidy are enticing and captivating characters with an engaging and alluring storyline. The burning passion between these two characters is so intense and tantalizing. Cassidy’s road to discovery is powerful and touching.
From the very first chapter I was hooked and read this in one sitting.
I enjoyed the family dynamics of all the families and will look forward to reading the following books in this series.
Remarkably well written to draw you into this wonderful paradise.
Congratulations Julie👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Michele McMullen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Prepare yourself to be taken on quite the adventure. Julie has given us a whole new series and so many great characters to love.
Cassidy Kelley is a 21 one year old woman that has been on her own her entire life. She grew up in the foster system on the island of Honolulu and had never known a real family. She works each day just to provide her basic needs, lives in a very sketchy part of town and needs to literally sleep with one eye open. She soon finds herself in front of the wrong crowd and makes a clean get away. With luck, kindness and a win at poler she finds herself on a plane and in the beautiful island of Kauai.
Knox Ramsey is a man of wealth, family and land he lives in the beautiful area called Paradise on the island and he just so happens to be next in an arranged marriage. Three powerful families are to each wed another to keep a curse at bay and keep their strength. The plan is playing out but when a stranger lands in his back yard all bets are off and he feels the pull toward her instantly.
Something bigger than either family could have imagined is happening right before their eyes with this young couple. When Cassidy's past brings trouble to this family and their home it is time to take action.
This couple has an undeniable attraction, they are sweet, sexy and have a bit of intrigue, action and mystery surrounding them.
A great start to the series Paradise! I can't wait for more of this family!

Knox Ramsey has to marry either a King or a Fitzpatrick and he has no interest but will do it for his family. He sees someone in his family property and chases them and he sees her the woman he’s been dreaming of. Cassidy is an orphan and has no one she’s running from a threat and tries to hide out in the hills but then she sees him. Knox and Cassidy fall instantly the connection is so strong, but they can’t be together. Great characters and storyline Highly recommended Amazing Book. I absolutely love this new world so many twists and turns. Knox and Cassidy are fire.

[Basak · Rating 5 out of 5]

Utterly magnificent ❤️❤️❤️ That’s all everyone needs to know about Devil’s Angel by Julie Capulet. It’s a hot, dangerous, forbidden love story full of steam and suspense. I had my heart in my throat most of the time and was craving for Knox and Cassidy’s happily ever after as if it was my own. Their intimate moments were of nuclear intensity and my kindle almost evaporated into thin air. Hawaii being the setting of the story also adds immensely to the beauty of the book, just the descriptions of the islands were enough to put a smile to my face. I think I will enjoy every single sibling’s story in the Ramsey family and I think Wolf is the next in line.

Brief summary
Knox is one of the heir of his family, which is an important family in the town where they live and he has to marry someone to create a good relationship with another family in town. But then he meets Cassidy and he becomes obsessed with her and she’s all he wants.

This book was just everything I wanted it to be and it hit all of my buttons. I’ve been in a slump because I just read a book that ruined me and this book was exactly what I needed. It had all of my favourite flavours, including really hot steamy scenes and a lot of obsession.

I just cannot even begin to describe how well this book worked for me, it just gave me everything I wanted and I had such a good time reading this book.

I absolutely adore obsession in books and I loved how the obsession in this book was done. It was just such a pleassure for me to read and I appreciated it so much. The obsession in this book was just perfectly done to me, it was everything I wanted.

Also, god did I love the characters in this one. I loved Knox who was obsessed with Cassidy and wanted to do everything for her. But I also loved Cassidy who was super strong and such a wonderful character.

The romance in this one was also absolutely loved to me. I just adored all of their couple interactions so much, they kept making me swoon.

The setting for this book was so lovely to read about. I just adored the ambiance the setting gave to the book. This book happens in Hawai’i and I had so much fun reading about that and how the setting affected the characters lives.

Also, the steamy scenes in this one were just very lovely and I absolutely loved them.

This book was so much fun to read and it always kept me very entertained while I was reading it.
I received an ARC of this book and this is my honest opinion

julie capulet has blessed with an ARC of her newest book! she’s my queen 👑!!!

i love julie capulet’s books! they’re super addicting and always incredibly sweet. this book was so different. i loved the unique setting of being on a tropical island and that island has a lot of sacred myths and traditions that made the book come alive even more. this book follows Knox and Camille and they meet by Camille stabbing Knox, lol. she ends up patching him up and he ends up falling madly in love with her. i just LOVE julie capulet’s heroes. they’re always so freaking sweet and love their woman with everything in them. Knox was extremely swoon worthy, and thinks of Camille as his angel, and the amount of love and attention he gave her was so adorable!!! i love insta-love romance (when it’s written right) and this book was definitely right. it had many aspects that were very different from the normal insta-love books and i’m so happy julie stepped out of her comfort zone to write a long book in which it is very unique in the sense of the setting and the myths and legends that control the island. i thought it was a great book and am so so excited to read the second book about Knox’s brother because i know that one will be a knock out of the park as well!!

all my opinions are my own. i would like to give a special thanks to Julie Capulet for allowing me to receive an ARC of this book :)

Paradise Is Waiting in Beautiful Hawaii’ for Your Loving Enjoyment!

O.M.G! This book was so AMAZING! Knox & Cassidy will have you believing in your own happily ever after. The chemistry between Knox & Cassidy was swoon worthy at BEST! Knox knew in his heart that Cassidy was THE ONE sent from heaven above. The dynamics between these two had me believing in fated mates.

Knox & Cassidy had me flipping the pages to see what would happen next in a good way. The book had a little bit of mystery and suspense to it. The story flowed beautifully with the back-dropped of Hawaii’.

Knox was the ultimate alpha male who took care of Cassidy with all his heart. He was caring and
sweet with a possessive side to him. Your next book boyfriend to boot!

Cassidy was a spitfire that wasn’t afraid of taking chances to better herself and in life.

I am telling you guys, when Knox & Cassidy came together…. you better have a fan nearby and a tall glass of ice water to cool you down.

Mrs. Julie Capulet out did herself with this new series!

Now I must be patience for the next book.

P.S. Book was phenomenal and guys you must buy!!!

I've read several books by this author, my favorite being Beautiful Savages!!! I love her writing style and storytelling. Her characters are always kicka$$.

Knox and Cassidy's story starts out as a slow-burn, but heats up quickly once they meet.

Knox has no choice he has to marry a King or Fitzpatrick to honor the alliance between the three families.

Cassidy is on the run after winning a plane ticket in a card game. She is an orphan and has never had a family. She hasn't had an easy life.

When they meet they have an instant connection and feel like they are meant to be. Knox is determined to find a way out of the marriage agreement so he can marry Cassidy.

Can't wait for Wolf & Vivi's story!!!

OMG, this was so good! I always enjoy Ms. Capulet's books, and this is one of her best. The story grips you right from the start and doesn't let go. I was so invested in Cassidy's story right from the beginning, her struggles, her loneliness. I couldn't help but cheer her on to overcome the trials she faced and admire the risks she took to try to find happiness. And then Knox, a book boyfriend for the ages. She was his dream come to life if only he could hang on to her. There are some twists and turns that keep you engaged and flipping through the pages and for me it ended way too soon.... I wanted more.... I will definitely be waiting impatiently for Wolf's story up next.
I devoured this book loving each and every minute spent reading it.

New author for you to stalk…err follow. This is my first book by this author, and I loved it. I really loved the legend and curse part of the story, really sucked me in. Knox’s family is one of 3 families to have an alliance aka Angel’s curse and it requires a person from each of the three families to intermarry, one each generation…or else terrible things happen to the families. Knox is the next in line to have to marry. Apparently his older brother should have, but went against the curse…it unfortunately did not work out well. Cassidy flees some trouble on the island that she is on, and goes to the island that Knox and his family own. On the island everyone that sees her thinks she’s one of their goddesses, I loved that little twist, Knox included. She’s on his land, and that’s how they meet…well kinda meet. Long and great story that you will have to read.

Great storyline, with a lot of twist, and lost a lot of sleep reading this book, it was so good. Safe read, he is supposed to be in an arranged marriage, but he hadn’t picked anyone, and definitely did not want to. These two were definitely soulmates, just drawn together, and didn’t want to be apart. An epilogue and hea. Great first book to this series, and I cannot wait to read the next book.

This book is definately Paradise.
I really enjoyed reading this story,it was so intriguing and gripping,there is so much going on with theses families.But Julie Capulet breaks it down easily for you to understand,and she is beautifully descriptive about everything within the story that it is so easy for you to be taken to this heavenly place where these families live.
There are 3 families, a curse, and a young mysterious woman who messes up all the plans,as the instant connection she has with knox is not part of Knox's fate.
This book is so addicting I could not stop reading it because it just captivated me as I was taken on this journey between Knox and Cassidy.They are both a victim of their circumstances Knox is subjected to an arranged marriage to prevent an ancient curse and a possible war between families.
Cassidy has no-one she is alone in the world,she works all the hours god sends to get herself out of her dire living situation,her creepy landlord and being on the run from a crime lord,that is until a plane ticket to paradise changes her life forever.
This is were she meets Knox for the first time but it is not a good initial meeting as they almost kill one another.These two are opposites in everyway,but the connection and attraction between them is something that cannot be denied.
This is such a great read that sets the foundation to what is going to be an exciting new series by Julie Capulet,and I am here for it.With her eloquently written words Julie Capulet has me well and truly ensnared,beguiled and enchanted by this whole story.
I Loved it.
I highly recommend it.
5 Stars.

She has this way of knowing just how to grab onto all your emotions and pull you so completely into the story . Once again she has done that with Devils Angel . Your definitely going to want to make sure you put some free time aside because once you start Cassidy and Knox’s adventure your not going to want to stop !!! Steamy scenes , arranged marriage, off the charts chemistry, criminal ties ,twist and turns , that perfect amount of darkness , swoony alphas , curses , romance , a kickass heroine and much much more. Devils Angel is easily one of the best books I’ve read this year . Julie Capulet never Disappoints ❤️🖤💜

I received an Advanced Reader Copy for an honest and voluntary review

This book was so amazing!! I absolutely fell in love with Knox and Cassidy’s story 💕 Hawaii was also its own character in this book 🌺 The way Julie wrote about the gorgeous setting, I could easily envision myself there!! Cassidy and Knox are both trapped in their own situations, both longing for more. Cassidy’s life is tough. She’s barely getting by, and has to flee when she’s in a horrible predicament. She runs to Kauai, where she has a chance meeting with Knox. Knox is in a contract marriage to another woman, but when he meets Cassidy, it’s love at first sight. Unfortunately, due to their circumstances, Knox and Cassidy can’t be together, but they just can’t give up on their mutual feelings for each other. However, there are greater secrets beyond them, and these two lovers find their lives in danger……
I can’t wait for Book 2!! This was a phenomenal story 😍
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK 💕💙💕

BIT OF OLIVER TWIST AND CINDERELLA - INSTA-LOVE AT IT'S BEST!

This amazing story reminiscent of bits of Oliver Twist mixed with Cinderella kept me ignoring life as I didn't want to put it down. Knox's situation seemed so unfair and poor Cassidy's life was chock full of hard knocks. But when fate steps in to lead them together after a heartfelt plea, the Insta-love Julie is best known for writing and is so good at comes into play and it just takes off from there!

The immediate chemistry and attraction between Cassidy and Knox felt so real and heated! Knox's family was such a close knit group and I loved their interactions with each other as well as with Cassidy. The mystery of Cassidy was intriguing and the ending was perfect! I look forward to the next book in this series, maybe Wolf and Vivi?
