If you like your books hot this is definitely the book for you. I mean hell is hot. And the three guys who run Hard Lust the club in hell are even hotter. Then a girl showed up who doesnt belong. Will she get out of hell or is she stuck? You will have to read it to find out. It was a good read.

I had to stop at 40%. I just couldn't do it, and I really tried. I kept telling myself to read it for the heat if nothing else, but it wasn't enough. I could not stand any of the characters and too much of it was feminist propaganda for me.

Megan has an ego the size of Jupiter and refuses to follow the rules of the hell she has found herself in. She sold her soul to save her sister but when she ends up in hell she's bound and determined to get out. Like she didn't sign the goddamn contract that sent her there. All she does is challenge the three guys in charge and try to get every other soul that was sent there to rise up against them. Does she not understand how going to hell works? And why those people were sent there?

Then there are the three guys in charge. I didn't get far enough to know if all are fallen angels, but one definitely is. They pissed me off because every single one of them allowed Megan to get away with her selfish, bratty behavior from the very first moment when anyone else would have been severely punished. Instead, they have sex with her and can't get her out of their minds. WHY???

Maybe things get better after I quit, but I'll never know. Like I said, I hated the characters (most especially Megan) too much to waste my time reading more and to only be frustrated by it all.

I kept trying to get into this book but after a few failed attempts I gave up. Bizarre storyline and not my sort of thing

This book was boring. There was to much feminist agenda and not enough sizzle. I was expecting a hot and sexy read but I got a study on unfair workplace rules. The concept for this book is great, but it didn't deliver for me.

I was instantly intrigued by this novel. I've read a fair bit of erotica and not once have I come across a story where the female character is sent to a pornographic hell. It was unique and equipped with sexy naked demons and marble statues that come alive and f**k in front of the main character Megan.

Unfortunately I DNF’d at 50%

I couldn't understand why Megan was so determined to break the rules and get out of hell when she signed a contract to save her sister's life. She knew she was going there and would have to do time.

I also couldn't connect with any of the characters. Megan was an annoying brat with no likable qualities and the men/demons felt like they were the same people.

It's a shame because the steamy bits were AMAZINGLY written and I really loved the idea behind this book.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

2.5 stars
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It isn’t often that I seriously do not care for a book. Unfortunately this story is one of those that I seriously considered not finishing.

However, I always try to finish for the sake of the author and look for the good in all things. I’m just wired that way.

One of the things that truly bothered me was not that this was a story about demons, since that is a term used by many but truly doesn’t mean demons as in the Devil and hell. But the story was truly about demons from hell and “fallen angels“.

It’s a hedonistic tale of lust between three men and one strong willed woman who was cheated of life on Earth by a contract she signed.

What made it an unfavorable story for me was a lot of the ridiculous scenes and situations. It’s just even hard to describe how much I disliked this book and why. I found myself almost saying prayers through the whole thing hoping that I’m not damned for reading it, but understanding that a lot of people enjoy this type of story.

Not a whole lot of substance, a ton of lust and sex, of course, with an ending that is meh, acceptable. But, can you really bargain with the devil? Do demons really have the capability of “love” when they’re banished to hell?

Not my cup of tea. Some may like it. Thought I'd go for something different and it was. ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.

Just ended up being very lackluster for me. I thought some of the word choices were underplayed and didn't go with the story. Also the synopsis really didn't match up with this book either.

This was a different take on hell which I enjoyed. I liked the thought of the different rings and the different jobs on each ring. I liked the dynamics that can bring to the story.

The reason for the three stars had to be the characters. I was not a fan of Megan. I like characters that are all "I am woman hear me roar" but Megan was just too much. She wasn't sassy she was snarky and mean.

The three guys really had no difference. One guy sort of bled into the other. I really didn't understand the connection.

I feel like this book could have been more if there was more than an emotional connection between the characters. I also wish there was more of a defining difference between then men.

Thank you NetGalley and Entangled Publishing, LLC for the copy.

First, I really enjoyed a different version of Hell, with each job/activity specific to that circle. The idea of ending up in Lust in Hell, and having to work in a bar is such a unique idea. I'm glad Megan is so stubborn and hardheaded and knows how to get what she wants.
Second, the idea of having three ridiculously handsome men fighting over one woman is so sexy. The author did a good job at giving a point of view to each so we can understand them better. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down until I finished it.
Last, the only reason I gave it three stars is because of the language. I have read many erotic novels, and descriptive words do not bother me. However, many of the words picked just didn't go with the story, or it seemed the author was trying to be the most vulgar. Words would be thrown into sentences with no rhyme or reason, as if it is a requirement to create erotica.
All in all, I enjoyed reading this novel and would definitely read another book by the author.

This book was kinda meh. I didnt really care for any of the characters. I think that could have been solved with more backstory on anyone. The three dudes were all the same and unfortunately everything was just lacking.

This was funny and silly and didn't take itself too seriously which I enjoyed. The premise was interesting and quirky and unique which I found refreshing. I just felt like some of the sex scenes felt a little mechanical and lacked emotion so I just couldn't get behind it. I also felt like the three demons sounded the same and I couldn't tell them apart at all. I wish there was just more of a backstory to them and their personalities were more fleshed out.

Thanks to netgalley for providing a digital copy in exchange for an unbiased review.

So much potential! Loved the concept, the sex scenes are hot (and frequent), Megan was feisty and smart, and it was fine but I wanted more.

Just felt a little wham bam thank you ma'am which is absolutely fine when I want something quick and dirty but I actually felt like I wanted to stick around hard lust so it was a little disappointing to be rushed thru.

Being denied chocolate is an absolute torture and I laughed out loud!
