This book definitely was a wild and bumpy ride. I really enjoyed the first part of the book and learning how Martinez becomes "The Devil". His childhood wasn't all sunshine and roses, he learned at a young age having emotions was a weakness. As the years go by he loses the few people he loves and he becomes even more cruel. Then we have Lexi who suffers abuse and is just trying to survive. Lexi and Martinez get together and it's nothing but drama! They have a very up and down relationship. Throughout this book I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop and when it did I was like WTF!!! I even messaged a few book friends who read and assured me I did read that part correctly. A major issue I had with Martinez was that he loved Lexi but he kept pushing her away and doing messed up sh*t. After awhile the whole I'm bad for you excuse wore thin and enough was enough. I wanted him to man up and do the right thing by her and he kept being a coward. That was a major turn off for me. Lexi was a tough chick and happy she did what she needed to do for her own sake. The book was rather on the long side and I felt some things could have been left out. Also I really didn't feel that connection with him and Lexi. Maybe it's because I wanted him with Sophia. Seeing the Good Ole Boys in this book made me happy and I'm looking forward to Creed and Mia's book!!

Wow!!! I don't know what to say without spoiling anything.. Lots going on.. All questions are answered at the end.... So many twists and turns.. Things I thought and things I didn't... The years passed by with too many years between.. Overall good book.. I enjoyed it..

Martinez, my new book boyfriend <3
El Diablo kept me on my toes. Everytime I thought I had something figured out, BAM! I was proven wrong.
Everything about this story keeps you guessing, wondering and craving more.

“Every devil needs an angel. And she was mine.”
It was an incredible story of a twisted love. The full plot was going smoothly around many events and in the end never left any question that it wasn't answered. Perfect! Absolutly perfect! I have recomment it plenty of times and I will never stop for sure!

So fucking frustrating
Never had a book frustrated me as much as this one. Almost every page was heartbreaking. I fucking hated this book. But I also loved it. Definitely a rollercoaster and a hell of a ride. 5/5

Omg, I feel like I should burn my clothes and take a shower Ace Ventura style. This book is so damn skeevy. No. just no. So highly reviewed and I just want some brain beach. I like some dark books, but this was just ewww. At least the cover was good.

I'm gong in the middle for this one. I just didn't buy into the relationship between Martinez and Lexi. I also didnt think his sudden rise in the family business as a 15 year old was believable either.

A dark somewhat messed up tale of obsession, not sure I'd call it love. I can't say I wasn't warned.
I skimmed most of the first half of the book. The H and h spent so much time apart even after the h has all grown up, that I found myself skimming those parts as well. There are moments in this book that suck you in and its for those moments I kept on reading. The resolution to the H's life of crime had so many plots holes, I just couldn't overlook them. yet another example of how authors treat readers like they have no intelligence. I can't be bothered to lay out all of them but suffice to say I couldn't overlook them.
