A gentleman's club, a contract, a ring, opposites attract, and forbidden romance lend way to fantasy in a world of deception, secrets, and rules. Who will find love? Who will find lust?

This was a fun read! What’s a girl to do when she lands in hades ahead of the plan. Megan sold her should to a broker for money to help her sick sister. But when she’s claimed before the agreed upon time in the contract, she’s forced to defend herself against 3 hot demons. Can they make her conform or does she make them?

Very steamy, gritty read. I loved Megan's stubbornness and need to improve everyone's lives. The three men, Andros, Racan, and Vespar, knew she was special, and I enjoyed their attentions to her though there were a couple moments I wanted to smack them upside their heads. This was a good story, and if you like Hell and steamy stories, this was worth the time.

I received a copy of this story through Goddess Fish Promotions and Netgalley, and this is my unsolicited review.

I rarely find a book that I’m on the fence about how I feel. There were outstanding components of this story, but there were also some components that felt a bit awkward. If you are looking for attractive men, a slightly stubborn woman, and heat, then this is the book for you. Megan made a deal with the Devil to save her sister and consistently tries to break her end of the bargain. What was interesting was this was a different kind of hell than you would usually read in this kind of story.

The men weren’t always the greatest toward Megan, but Megan wasn’t always the sweetest person. I enjoyed the multiple points of view; seeing the thought process of each character was great. The language felt a little forced at times, but while it wasn’t a turn-off, it definitely slowed the pace for me. I started off reading this book, thinking it would be fascinating and refreshing to have this as an audiobook, but I think it would point out the awkwardness of the language. Still worth a read!

I liked this book. It was steamy and it definitely had a lot of nsfw scenes. It definitely kept me reading it to the very end.

I didn't care for this title. It just didn't capture my interest or drag me into it's world. I was just bored at times and I didn't fall in love with the characters. It just ended up being a really tough read.

Three demons quickly (too easily?) subdued by one self-proclaimed feminist. Absolutely nothing to do with reality but still a quirky and fast read.

Another extremely spicy read by Ms. Donahue. Interesting story concept and characters. GOod writing.

So – there is a lot that can be said about this. RH rocks. Always has and always will. Especially when your life is filled with 3 fallen angels that start out all douchy and in your face and eventually end up being pretty darn amazing.

Megan is a really amazing character. She is the female MC we all wish we could be in our own romance novels. Selfless, altruistic, sexy AF, full of confidence and does not take shit from anyone. Especially not 3 men that think they know better when they quite obviously do not.

Her never give up attitude is something that everyone should strive to achieve. The way she takes on an impossible situation and not only survives but thrives is excellent. And all the funnies, the sexy times, the female empowerment make this an exceptional read.

Ms Donahue is an amazing author that possesses great ability to make something completely unbelievable seem possible and true. This was a great read and I cannot wait to get a hold of more of her books.

A solid 3.5 stars. A unique, humorous and sexy take on hell. Megan signs her soul away in exchange for her sister's health, and finds herself in hell earlier than expected, kept by the 3 sexy demons in charge of her circle. I enjoyed the variety of interesting and sometimes humorous characters and settings. I found the last few chapters a little bit slow to get through - they didn't seem to keep my interest as much as the rest of the book did, which kept me from giving it a full 4 stars. Overall though, a good, entertaining read.

Hard Lust is one of those books that sounds great in concept only to be let down in execution. It has three hot male leads, a female lead they find delicious, and a setting that offers infinite possibilities. Unfortunately, all three are under-utilized.

The central conceit of this book is a gender revolt for better working conditions in Hell, which could have been fun and wild but when handled with deadly sincerity, it just becomes a great big chore. I don’t even know why she bothered staging the grand revolt given that none of her friends seem to even want better working conditions. I give the author her props for wanting to write something uplifting and different but if she’s going to use whimsical constructions, she needs to decide how she can use them to better effect.

The deep, dark betrayal that haunts the male leads makes its appearance when and where the plot needs it most; the female lead keeps telling us over and over again that she is Good and Kind; the antagonist is laughably bad.

I’m giving this book two stars: the first for ambition; the second for the erotica, which was good.

Megan sold her soul to safe her sister and ended up in hell early. Now she works in a club where demons like to play and the demons who run the club plan on playing with her. Hot paranormal read. I liked it.

I started this book with high hopes but it really lost me in the middle. I was not able to finish it as it just wasn’t clear as to where the book was going.

Ugh... I really wanted to like this one. The erotica label grabbed me. It was okay. But I felt like it was missing something. I never really believed that these four were falling for each other.


Megan sold her soul to save her sister but somehow ended up in hell before it was her time. Now she's working as a server in a club were demons all like to go wild.

Andros, Racan and Vespar run the club she has to spend eternity in. They don't like dealing with her defiance, so maybe they'll have to teach her another way.

This book was just Sex on wheels, so to speak. There was just no sustenance at all. The Heroine didn't come across as strong at all but rather weak. The three Heroes just had sex on their brains. The depiction of Hell was rather far fetched.

Overall the book has a decent plot. However, it jumps around from one person to another though out the whole story. This makes the story difficult to follow.
The concept of the story is unique. The scenes are hot and like I said it’s a decent plot. Overall, I would give it 3 1/2 out of 5 stars. Is it worth the read? Maybe depending on what you are looking for. Would I personally read it again? No, not really.

The concept of this was great and really unique! The storyline and female character just ended up not being something I loved

*I won't be posting this to my blog as the themes in this book do not sit well with me and I will not give a platform to this book.*

Well, that was a disaster... There's barely a stofy there, it's just about three men fucking one woman while they also make said woman work in nothing but a couple leather straps in a bar in one of the rings of hell: Lust. This was such a horrible book. I'm sure the author tried to create a story where women will fight back against male oppression and being powerful feminist but boy did she fail to actually write that.

According to my kindle I read 68% and I honestly don't even know how I got that far in this disastrous book.

What annoyed me the most is that these three male love interests treat our female MC like total garbage and then as soon as they want something sexual from her she gives it them. And she's supposed to fight for women's rights within the club...

As I said, this book is an epic fail. I had to DNF it and that results in a one star rating.
