Escaping Hell is only the beginning…
Annabelle Clayton’s life was pretty predictable. Quiet as a dormouse, what she lacks in charm, she makes up for in her beauty. Being taller than most women never stops her from wearing heels, and embracing her curves helps her sex appeal when it comes to working at the dark, underground dungeon, Den of Sin. What she never expected, though, was finding out she could see the dark side of everyone… and everything.
A family heirloom has been with Annabelle her entire life and one fateful night, it begins to sing. When she opens it, the unimaginable happens: the spirit of a lifetime ago is released and plummets itself into Annabelle, reminding her of who she once was—a Goddess of the Underworld: Persephone.
Cade Fenix, Beta to the Fenix Dragon pack, agrees to attend the speed dating mingle at DeLux Cafe against his better judgment. The moment he walks in, he knows it’s a mistake… until he sits down at the table of his fated mate. He never saw her coming and from that night forward, Cade embraces what it means to find his mate.
When Cade’s village is attacked, Annabelle’s life is in danger and she is taken by a rival dragon pack. She will surely die if she cannot fight back. And just as Persephone begins to push forward to release her energy, the inner spirit recognizes a familiar being nearby.
Will Persephone intervene in time to save Annabelle’s life?
Will Cade save his kingdom from ruin?

This is another brilliant read in the Speed Dating series. Annabelle goes on a Tinder date and the guy takes her to a sex club, the very one she works in. When she first started there she was able to see the true forms of the people there, including the man in charge Samael, who realizes she is the reincarnated soul of Persephone, although she doesn't know this. Having no luck with dates she goes on a speed dating night at DeLux cafe. There she meets Cade a dragon shifter who has been sent by his brother Cayan, the king of the dragon shifters. Cade is a womanizer and has no intentions of settling down that is until he meets Annabelle - his fated mate. There is further intrigue when Belle hears a voice from a family heirloom which leaks smoke and she finds that she has another soul inside her - Persephone. This story turns into a hot steamy romance. But with another dragon intent on taking over their clan area there is danger on the horizon. This is a great story with lovable characters. A battle for survival, with some sad moments and an HEA.

Annabelle Clayton is a 'human' who ends up at the speed dating event where she meets Cade, a dragon shifter. Cade is the beta of the Fenix Dragon Pack and his brother is the King. Cade has never taken responsibility for anything, has just been a playboy with never a care in the world until he is sent to the DeLux Café speed dating event where he meets Annabelle and realizes she is his mate. But Annabelle has someone else within her for she is the reincarnation of Persephone. There is a rival dragon pack trying to take over the Fenix dragon packs lands and war is on the way. Can Cade and Annabelle save the Dragons and accept each other for who they are. Cade as a huge dragon shifter and Annabelle as Persephone. This is such a well written book with great characters and fun to read. Great steamy scenes too. Loved Annabelle and Persephone and hoping they both get their HEA. Great read.

Annabelle is a very unique human, she can see demons, unbeknownst to her harboring a life changing secret. She goes to the Speed Dating event and meets Cade. He's basically only there because his brother and Alpha, Cayan, insisted on it. Cade is a dragon shifter. He's also a notorious bachelor. There's an instant connection between Annabelle & Cade. Only Annabelle has to figure out how to tell Cade she works at a sex club, Den of Sin. Cade realizes she's his. How will the news go over with him? How will Annabelle react to finding out Cade's a dragon shifter? Then how will the dark secret Annabelle harbors effect them? Oh yeah there is a rival dragon pack too. This book is full of love, smoking hot scenes, action, & even a few tears. How will the new couple figure out the obstacles and will they overcome them together?.

Loved reading this story about Cade a dragon shifter and Annabelle a human who doesn't remember she's the Goddess Persephone. Cade the perpetual bachelor is ordered by his alpha brother Cayan to participate in the speed dating event and gets bowled over by Annabelle. Meanwhile, Annabelle just moved to L.A. and goes on a blind date who takes her inside the Club of Sin. She meets Gladys who gives her a pass to the back rooms. Entering the back room, she sees the demons in their true form which brings Samael who offers her a job as waitress. Gladys signs her up to the speed dating event where she meets Cade. Both attracted to each other, will she accept Cade being a dragon shifter and what happens when Annabelle remembers who she is? Engaging romantic story that was well written with personable characters and another delightful read among this series that I volunteer to read and review. ARC.

This is Book 11 of Speed Dating with the Denizens of the Underworld. This is a story for Annabelle Clayton former Goddess of the Underworld Persephone and Cade Fenix, Beta to the Fenix Dragon pack.. Just wow this one has a lot going on it in but here is the break down. Annabelle is a former Goddess and the fated mate to the Dragon. Yes and she has some not so human abilities even though she is totally human. I loved how well both of them take the news each of them has to give each other. I loved the dungeon for demons. I loved the book but why did that have to happen to Cade’s brother. So not fair it was like he already knew what was coming but anyway I couldn’t put this book down and can not wait to read the next one in this series.

Awesome! This is an interesting concept regarding the denizens of the underworld! The star character can see "others" in their real nature in certain places and circumstances. I love how the stories have characters who weave in and out of the different episodes! My favorite character in this episode is Gladys... her two personas are snarky and fun! The speed dating event brings in a dragon this time around and he's hot for Annabelle! Belle is quite the character and her series of dates are interesting until she runs into the dragon, after that everything is full smiles ahead! Great love story, lots of romance, lots of lust and a healthy swish of tenderness. So looking forward to the next episode!

The first time I saw you I knew you'd be mine...
Cade Fenix, Beta to the Fenix Dragon pack is practically ordered by his brother his Alpha, to attend a speed dating bash. He goes even though he is totally not interested in something as ridiculous as this. He is stunned when he meets Annabelle, a human no less, and realizes immediately she is his fated mate.
They both have secrets that they are hesitant to share with one another and that's where everything gets very interesting. I highly recommend you give this a read if you enjoy steamy (make that super steamy) and tons of action in a book. And the cherry on top? it's an amazing feel good story.

Hades helps them defeat Method and allows her to be with Cade. Cade must become ruler of his people with Annabelle at his side which is a blessing.

This is definitely one of my favorite in the Speed Dating with the Denizens of the Underworld series so far. We have Annabelle who can see demons, but she is a human, goes to speed dating and meets Cade, he is a dragon shifter. This book contained secrets, adventure, and a little bit of danger as well. The story was easy to follow along with and I really liked both of the main characters. This whole series is awesome and I can't wait to read more!.

Hell's Belle by Juie Morgan is the eleventh book in the Speed Dating with the Denizens of the Underworld series. I absolutely love this series. Each story is written by a different author and takes a wild turn in the DeLux Cafe during the Speed Dating Events. Cade is a Dragon and Annabelle thinks she is human. When their paths collide during the Speed Dating session all Hell breaks loose! A fun read and a great addition to the series!.

A soft BDSM storyline about how you can have a real relationship
Cade was a dragon shifter playboy. Annabelle was a human who could see demons in their true form. The reason behind that was even a secret from Annabelle. After meeting at the speed dating event. Things just fell into place for them both. Their chemistry and passion was off the charts. Loved how other characters from this world pop in every now and then. It doesn't take away from the story it just gets wound into the storyline.

I loved Annabelle, and the fact that she was the reincarnation of Persephone was original. I enjoy reading about the relationship between Annabelle and Cade, as it is a fantastic pairing. This is an amazing story, that makes me happy with the way it all comes together, and the ending was fantastic! I Loved It!!! No Spoilers! It is an experience to enjoy!.

This is the 11th book in Speed Dating with the Denizens of the Underworld and Julie’s 2nd book. This is funny and steamy. This is about Anabelle and her to-be mate Cade, Prince of the Fenic Clan of dragons. What’s more fun than dragons, demons, and a kinky BDSM club? I loved it and can not wait to read more in the series. You do not need to read the series in order, but they all have one scene in common.

can the essence of her truest self save Annabelle?
Dating is crazy. Speed dating is sometimes a whole lot of crazy and awful all at once.
When a dragon leader finds his fated mate during the craziness, can they survive the additional hazards and dubious joys of pack and clan life?
intense paranormal drama, action and humorous romance.

The first time Annabelle stepped into Den of Sin, she had no idea there would be real demons. When Gladys at the Den talks Annabelle into attending a speed dating event at DeLux Cafe, Annabelle meets dragon shifter Cade Fenix. This story has some action, plus plenty of romance and steam, ending in a HEA. Very highly recommended.

And the speed dating scene hasn’t let me down yet I don’t care that each book is written by a different author the series runs seamlessly.
This time we meet Annabelle a human and Cade a dragon shift and this story certainly doesn’t let you down. Add to the mix everything else going on and this book is a winner.

This is an amazing series by all of these amazing authors and this is Annabelle’s/ Persephon’s and Cade’s story, sorry guys I don’t need to give any spoilers because the blurb says it all and this is one hell of a brilliant story and I can’t wait to read more. I loved this story and the characters and I definitely recommend this book/ series.

I loved this one. Annabelle is an unusual character, with a strange and unknown past. Her romance with Cade starts with a bang, love at first sight. Things get complicated when she tries to open up to Cade and strange things happen at work and at home. Action packed fun for fans of PNR. Now I really need Hades' story.
August 14, 2022
I enjoyed Annabelle's snarky personality with a hint of no nonsense. Her life is not what she thought it was. Finding out things do exsist is surprising. Cade loves his batchelor hood but when forced to a speed dating his life changes dramatically.

The eleventh book in Speed Dating with the Denizens of the Underworld series. Human Anabelle and Prince Cade of the Fenic Clan of dragons' story.

Great book! I love the shock factor for a human in a demon club was pretty funny. It was also kind of sad with Belle being a re incarnation of a goddess but hey she made up for it in the end . This book is great to read if you like a good chuckle and some spice and some demon action. Last but not least it definitely has an HEA. I definitely would recommend this book.

Such a different spin on a romance in the Speed dating series. Annabelle finds out she possesses the spirit of a ancestor, Persephone. Hopefully she will protect her when help is needed most. A really good story.
