Hellfire and Halos #3
Redemption
***This blurb contains possible spoilers from the last two books. Do not read on if you have not already read Ruination and Retaliation***
She is his, and he will do everything in his power to keep her at his side. Even if he has to sell his own soul to do so.
Lucas
Angels and demons aren't supposed to be together, but here I am, loving the Hellion I spent centuries hunting down and killing.
And because of that love, both of our kinds are after us, desperate to rip us apart like the vile abomination they think we are.
Worse, they plan to kill Giselle—permanently.
The thought alone has me wanting to destroy Heaven and Hell alike to ensure that no one—not God or the Devil himself—extinguishes my beautiful Hellion's flame.
There isn't anything I won't do to keep her safe.
Even if that means sacrificing myself.
Giselle
I've fallen for the enemy, and he's fallen from grace for me.
Lucas gave up everything to be by my side, and I can't help but wonder how long until he comes to his senses and puts a sword through my heart—again.
Especially now that the entirety of Heaven is coming for us, eager to send me to a forever grave and toss him into the pits of Hell where my father will be waiting for him.
My angel thinks we can outrun them forever, but I know time isn't on our side. Eventually, I will have to face my father's wrath.
I only hope I can keep his eyes on me and off of the angel who ruined me.
Even if I have to sacrifice myself to do so.
*** Redemption is the final book in the Hellfire and Halos trilogy, a steamy enemies-to-lovers paranormal romance. This book contains mature language and some very spicy sexual situations. It also has some very brief scenes of self-harm and violence. This book ends with an HEA. ***

This was such a good ending to this paranormal romance trilogy!!! I absolutely loved Giselle and Lucas's love story.
The first 50% was a little slow because it was mostly just Giselle and Lucas having sex and being on the run. However, the story really picked up in the last half, and I couldn't put the book down. I am impressed because I really could not predict how the story would conclude. I didn't see the ending coming, but it's quite literally the best possible ending. Their love is so freaking cute, and Lucas's possessiveness of Giselle is hot.
In my opinion, the writing was great and the spicy scenes are done really really well in this.
I can't wait to read Ty's love story as a standalone.

The deal that Giselle and Lucas made with Lucifer did not make sense at all. Lucifer lost out on it (which does not sound like something his character would like). Giselle and Lucas get to go free??? And live together??? And the only stipulation is that if Lucas doesn’t find her they die??? Lucifer gains nothing from that deal and Lucas has already proved FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS that he can always find Giselle. It was literally so confusing.

All of the stories in this series have been page-turners, but I absolutely FLEW through this book; devouring it in only a few hours. Buckle up buttercup for some serious freak-between-the-sheets (and anywhere else they can find 😉) spice! Rest assured, there’s plenty of variety so it’s anything but boring!
Baker has really created some incredible characters, making it that much easier to lose yourself in the world she’s created. I was excited to see she’ll continue the world with a spin-off centered around Tyson who really was my favorite secondary character. The twists and turns kept me guessing till the very end. She gives you moments of pure joy, a never ending drive to hold onto hope no matter what, and gut-wrenching plot twists making you hold onto your seats. The ending is wrapped up in a nice neat bow without dragging on in a never-ending series. Love it and can’t wait to see what she dreams up next!

This is the 3rd and final book in this series. It is very well told steamy and hot book. This is the conclusion to Giselle and Lucas story.
Giselle and Lucas has to avoid the angels looking for them, they want to eliminate Giselle permanently and condem Lucas and ban him from heaven. But they have to find them first. That won't be easy.
I don't wanna spoil it for you, just know that they have to move constantly and stay on guard while trying to love each other every chance they get 😉.
Staying ahead of the Angel gets harder and harder though. When they do get caught it touches all your feeling's.......
I recommend this book, especially if you're into the spicy steamy stuff 😉😉😉......

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 21, 2023
What a ride Jen has taken us on with this series. It’s a sizzling hot story. In fact I’m surprised the pages weren’t scorched. Giselle and Lucas are put through the wringer just trying to be together without any family drama! One angel and Giselles brother are the only ones helping them to stay alive here on earth. Since Lucas is a fallen angel and Giselle is the devils daughter, peace and blissful quiet is out of reach. This is one of the best stories I have read in a very long time. The finale is full of emotion, heart stopping action and it all ended…🔥🔥🔥😳😳.

Series Review
These had promise but quickly lost the plot and fell to mediocre smutville.
I liked the concept but there was nothing major driving the series, she is suppose to be a powerful and evil chaos causing demon but never if that demonstrated.
The mmc fall was just eh there was nothing epic. There was nothing climatic and powerful. It even ended as boring as the story became in book two.
Book one was great intro and this series needed to harness that momentum instead it just kinda lost it, and failed to address aspects which left plot holes.
Anyways not horrible just left me wanting what it could have been and answers to questions I had.

I was wondering how this was going to get to the HEA ending we were promised and even though the turns it took I wasn’t expecting this was such a fun ride.
Giselle and Lucas were great and I loved getting to watch their love grow throughout this book and just how much that affected the people around them.
The spice was great, the banter and set up for future spinoffs was done really well and I definitely recommend this series. This was my first time reading J.N. Baker and I enjoyed her writing style and storytelling a lot. Easily a new favorite author for me.

Only reason I procrastinated on finishing this book is because I didn’t want the trilogy to end. It was great though, I didn’t fully know how the book was going to end. The story kept me engaged. Tons of spice🌶️🌶️🌶️ (not a bad thing). Tyson, of course, is a fun character. Raziel helping Lucas and Giselle again was not on my reading bingo card but I was happy he tried to save them again. I’m a sucker for a happy ending in books and reading that they grow old together was sweet. I will be rereading this series. JN Baker needs more recognition for her storytelling 💯

Watching Giselle play cat and mouse with Lucas over the last three books has been a Wild ride. Both high level players from heaven and hell it’s shocking when they basically cause each other to be a disgrace. Making them enemy number one to both sides and sending them on the run. This conclusions is a lot of heat so be prepared for it. I enjoyed the read and felt like the ending was done well with out leaving us with more questions then answers.

Holy cow were the edges of my kindle burning with this story! I could not put this book down. It was an amazing end to an amazing series. There were parts that made my heart hurt for Lucas. But his love for Giselle was absolute. And how can you regret a decision when it is made from the heart? Loved the ending and how the author wound the story so they would always be together.

Awesome series!
What a wild ride! Loved this series and highly recommend! Sad to see the end of these characters but also really happy with how it all ended. ❤️ I really enjoyed Bakers unique take on the role demons and angels have on earth. Looks like there will be a stand-alone in the same world with different FMC and MMC.

I don’t know what to say except I didn’t see a lot of things coming and I’m so happy about that. I could almost figure out the first and second books but this one?? NOPE!!
Gisselle and Lucas hiding out is so fun and spicy!! I love these two together. Ty is his wonderful, funny self!
If you are checking out the reviews of all thee books to see if the series is worth reading, just do it. It’s funny, has action and heroes you don’t expect and villains you love to hate.

This book was an amazing finish to this series. The way Lucas and Giselle loved each other was absolutely amazing! Sacrificing themselves but getting their happy ending was the best thing in the world. It is the first 5-star rating for me. This series was amazing. Will definitely be buying paperbacks (I prefer them over hard covers) for my shelf. Thank you, J.N Baker for this amazing series. Cannot wait to read Tysons story!

The chase for Giselle and Lucas is underway and our steamy couple has to outrun their pursuers. Can they outsmart the angels chasing them? Or will they meet their fate for breaking all rules?
Great conclusion for our enemies to lovers. Holy boy delivers every time and the spice is on fire.
Just read it and see for yourself!

True love never dies
The story of Giselle and Lucas was quite an adventure…..definitely not for the feint of heart. They defied all the odds as well as heaven and hell to be together, but the price was steep. If this story doesn’t make you believe in true love, nothing will.

I started reading this series back when the first one had just come out and patiently waited for the rest of the series. I will say it was worth the wait. I absolutely devoured this book in one day which I have not done in a while. The banter and relationship that bloomed between Lucas and Giselle is absolutely perfect. I highly recommend this book to anyone that love forbidden romances. The spice was perfect and added great heat to the book. I was so glad we saw more of Giselles powers towards th end when the angels tried to take Lucas. At the end when they both sacrificed themselves for each other really had me on edge. They both busted into Hell looking for the other and willing to fight the devil himself honestly gave me chills. I reread that part several times. This book is easily on my list of favorites for 2025.

This was the ending that Lucas and Giselle DESERVED!
When I tell you this book was SPICY, I mean it was spiiiiiiicy. They are freaks in the sheets and do not hold back.
But back to the story line, my heart broke for what was to become of Lucas. They have had to fight so hard for their story and against all odds... well, I won't spoil that.
The epilogue is one of the best I've read in a while and this was wrapped up nicely with a pretty red bow.

I honestly don’t know if I’ve ever read a better ending. It got the story and the two of them so perfectly. The story was well thought out from beginning to end. A great series!

Good read
The characters have a lot of spunk. I enjoyed the toxic relationship between the main characters and the side characters were entertaining.

HEA ON CRACK
This entire series was everything I've ever wanted in a fated mates trope. Lucas and Giselle are everything. No spoilers, just read the damned series!!

If you enjoyed the first two books in the series, you will love the ending. It has all the heat you expect as Giselle and Lucas have to face the repercussions of their choices. If you haven’t read the other books in the series, be sure to read them first. Great and fun story.
