Review & Giveaway – Stolen Innocence (Dueling With The Devil #3) by Vivi Dumas

They say ignorance is bliss, but when it comes to love and mating, Charity Lovell wished someone had schooled her on the ins and outs. She fell hard when she saw the beautiful face of the fair-haired demon as he lay broken in Lucifer’s dungeon. Her body ached for him. Her heart cried for him. This had to be her mate, right? Who else could make her trade her soul to the Devil to save someone she didn’t know? Someone should’ve told her love wasn’t quite as straight forward as that.
Damon lived an uncomplicated life, even as the alpha of the Lake Charles pack and the son of Lucifer. He should’ve taken a mate years ago, but held on to the hope of love. Only one female came close to making him believe he still had a chance for happiness. Yet, her heart belonged to someone else. Once again, the feeling is back, stronger than ever. And again, his female has pledged herself to another. Damn demons were ruining his love life. This time Damon plans to fight for what was his and win his rightful mate.

My Review:

Just once, Charity Lovell wishes someone would have told her what it's like to be in love. Yet everyone in her pack continues to keep her in the dark about anything to do with love and men in general.

Charity believes Laurent LaCoste, a demon, to be her mate and brokers a deal with Lucifer (Luc), the devil, to make this a reality. Little did she know nothing is as it appears when it comes to the devil.

Damon, the Alpha of Lake Charles Pack is holding out for love to the right person even though he has been tempted to take a mate. When Charity is rescued and meets Damon, there is an instant connection that she didn't feel with Laurent.

Charity wonders how it's possible to have two men competing to be her mate. Damon knows from the first touch that Charity is his mate. Charity relays Luc's plan to use her as sacrifice to come topside and that her great-grandmother three times removed Ariella is still hostage. It's a race against time to stop Luc's plans. Can Luc be stopped? What role will Charity play? Who is really Charity's mate? Your answers await you in Stolen Innocence.

~~~~~~~

This series is building up quite nicely. The cast of characters is really good and interesting. For me, Charity and Damon were trusting, yet wary of others, which I find fascinating. The range of emotion flows through out the story. It's almost as if you can hear it coming off the page.
