When sexy wannabe-demon, Destiny Carter, is kicked out of Hell, she lands in Ft. Worth, Texas with one week to corrupt a soul. Or else. She slips into a slinky red dress, and heads straight for the delicious, corruptible looking cowboy at the bar.
But Chance Bellew has his own agenda-saving souls. He's not your typical angel. He’s a nephilim, to be exact. Centuries ago, angels came down from Heaven and mated with mortal women. When the women bore children, a new race was created. Immortals with powers—demigods, nephilim.
But the children don’t live by the same rules as mortals, or that of the typical, robe-wearing, bright light-surrounding-them angels. Hell, most of the time the nephilim are breaking the rules, and making up new ones as they go. As long as they don’t cross over to the dark side, everyone pretty much stays out of their way.
But sometimes a demon-in-training, who looks like Destiny, comes along and all Hell breaks loose.

Holly's Review:
I am a lover of stories about angels and demons so when I read the synopsis on this book I thought it sounded right up my alley! Boy, was I right! This was fun, hot, sexy story!
Destiny Carter is a demon in training, she has one week on Earth to corrupt a soul and bring it back to hell to become a full fledged demon. She ends up in a bar in Fort Worth, Texas with her eye on the sex on a stick cowboy bellied up to the bar. Little does she know that Chance Bellew is not your ordinary cowboy, he is in fact a nephilim. Centuries ago, angels came down from Heaven and mated with mortal women. When the women bore children, a new race was created. Immortals with powers—demigods, nephilim.
His task is to save Destiny's soul. Destiny is unaware of any of this but Chance knows exactly who Destiny is and what she is after. He also knows all about the horrific life that she lived and the horrific death that claimed her and how the demon promised her he could stop the pain and she would live out a peaceful eternity, in Hell! As if!!!!. They gradually begin to fall in love, which is a huge no-no for both of them. Destiny thinks that maybe she can work with this if only Chance will surrender his soul, they can live happily ever after in Hell. But Chance knows that everything the demons have told her is a lie and when she returns she will cease to be the person she is.
Chance also has the dilemma of getting too attached since once he saves her soul, if he can, she will be reborn and lost to him. There is no way they can be together. Or is there....
I love when a book introduces you to characters that you think you have figured out and then realize as you uncover more and more about them how absolutely wonderful they are. This was the case with both Chance and Destiny! Oh and did I forget to mention there is a ton of smokin' hot sex???
This was my first Karen Kelley book and I really, really enjoyed it. It also looks to be the first of a series. We were introduced to Chance's nephilim brothers as well and I am happy to see they will be getting their stories too!
