Oscar has baggage, and Cal has secrets. But something otherworldly draws them to each other, and when Cal's past threatens to bleed into his present, there is nothing Cal won't do to keep Oscar safe.
Cal's father wants to bring his sons back home - the three that left Hell and their positions as the princes, Lucifer's sons. They want nothing to do with this. And then Cal mets Oscar. Feisty, nerdy Oscar who has been through his own personal hell, and survived. There's an undeniable connection between the two when they meet, and their connection grows very strong, very fast.
Cal is overprotective, a little possessive, and absolutely smitten with Oscar. Which is exactly what Oscar needs - because Cal builds him up. Cal supports him, but he doesn't try to control Oscar in any way. They treat each other as equals. They respect each other, and they work together to get through challenges. Even when the threat of mortal danger looms high and mighty.
This book was a solid mix of world building, some backstory, and character development. The plot is clearly one that will be ongoing - Lucifer won't give up trying to regain control of his sons. But Cal is stronger with Oscar by his side. And there are three more brothers left to find their mates. I'm sure what comes next is bound to be a very wild ride.
