Hell To Pay Synopsis

The contract was destroyed and Tom’s soul saved from Hell.
Or so they thought.
Demon deal-maker, Saul, and his mortal lover, Thomas Ives, find themselves on the run when the other demons take none too kindly to Saul’s bending of the rules. With the denizens of Hell on their heels, Saul and Tom must fight to stay one step ahead, knowing that if they’re caught there’s only one direction they’re headed: down.
When Heaven decides to get involved, Saul’s actions are no longer a mere bureaucratic misdemeanour but the basis of a factional confrontation. And now only one question remains: to whom does Tom’s soul truly belong?

21^st Century Demon Synopsis

It should have been an easy job: a contract signed and a new soul earmarked for Hell. But when suave demon deal-maker Saul chooses nerdy Thomas Ives as his next target, events take an unexpected turn. The lines between business transaction and pleasure blur, and Saul must decide whether he cares more for his professional reputation or the soul he just condemned to eternal damnation.

Excerpt - Hell to Pay

I glance over at the bed where Tom lies in peaceful slumber. His face, framed by a halo of blond curls, is angled towards me. The gentle exhale makes several of those golden strands flutter. His full, oh-so-tempting lips are slightly parted, and for a brief moment I do want to wake him, so I can claim them in a kiss. He’s only wearing boxers. We don’t have an extensive wardrobe with us, and sleepwear was the last thing on our minds when we made our initial getaway, I can tell you! Actually, it’s the last thing on our minds even now. Anyhow, where was I? Oh, yes. I permit myself a moment to appreciate the hypnotic rise and fall of that smooth, pale chest before allowing my gaze to wander lower, over the ever-enticing bulge at his groin and down his long, lithe legs. Mmm. I remember how it felt to have those luscious legs wrapped around me a few hours ago, his heels pressing glorious bruises into my buttocks as I thrust up into that perfect, tight....

My cock twitches and I fight to regain my focus. Do you see now why waking Tom is such a problem? For one, he looks so angelic when he sleeps, it always seems a pity to disturb him. But at the same time, I only have to look at him to want him, and we really don’t have time for that sort of thing when we’re meant to be making a swift and silent exit from the scene.

My Review

Tom is out for a drink when a handsome man propositions him, a steamy night with the man will cost him his soul!

Saul is a demon, he collects souls - it's ok though they get a night of their dreams first. Saul is planning on Setting Tom up with the bartender but changes his mind and decides to have a night of fun himself. 

Neither Saul or Tom expect to feel more in the morning, which means he doesn't want to take his Soul, the boss of hell won't be pleased.

The story is told from dual points of view, Saul is amusing when his telling his side he talks to us the readers as voyeurs.

It has a light-hearted feel to the book due to Sauls personality, but there are feelings lurking around and sexy scenes too.

It is not a book with depth but is entertaining. 

3 - 3.5 stars
