No slowing down on Saturday. Its day 6 of Fifty Shades of YA Boys today. Today would complete the 1st week of postings. So make sure to check both Dark Faerie Tales and Once Upon a Twilight daily until 7/31 and if you missed a post go back and catch up. Follow along on Twitter to with hashtag #FiftyShadesYABoys.
Today is a special day because we don't have just one hottie stopping by, no its two hotties. So you get double the fun of getting to know Luc and Gabriel from Lisa Desrochers's Personal Demons Trilogy. Personal Demons Trilogy consist of Personal Demons (#1), Original Sin (#2) and Last Rite (#3). This is a set of books that are must-haves on your shelf. Let's meet the ever so complicated but hot Lucifer "Luc" Cain and the dreamy celestial Angel Gabriel "Gabe".

All demons are created from sin, and the sin we’re borne of defines us. I’m a creature of lust.
This generally works to my advantage in my position in Acquisitions. Seduction is a powerful tool and I find teenage girls are all too willing. I get them going on the little ones—starter sins, if you will. Not enough to tag their souls for Hell, but enough to send them in our direction eventually. I don’t even need to use my power…not that I’d feel guilty if I did. Guilt isn’t in the demonic repertoire of emotions. It just feels more honest when they come to sin of their own volition. Again, not that I care about being honest. It’s just too easy the other way.
In truth, the rules are clear. Unless their souls are tagged, we can’t force mortals to do anything out of character or manipulate their actions in any way. For the most part, all I can do with my power is cloud their thoughts, blur the line between right and wrong just a little. And that’s all it usually takes.
Anyone who says the devil made them do it is feeding you a line.
Of course, the girls don’t know they’re giving me a roadmap. There’s no bigger turn on than the scents of raging teenage emotion: the tangy citrus of fear, the bitter garlic of hate, the anise of envy, and ginger—lust. That’s the one I look for—and almost always find.
I smell it all over Frannie.
Frannie.
With her, there’s more. Warm chocolate. I’m not sure what it means, but it feels significant. Whenever I sense it coming from her, my chest tightens around my brimstone heart. The feeling makes me want to protect her—from me.
But she’s my mark, and I’ve never missed. Frannie’s not going to be the first soul to slip through my net. She’s too important.
She wants me. All I have to do is take her.
But I have to get Gabriel out of the way first.
Gabe
Frannie was a baby when we recognized her talent. She’s been my charge ever since. I threw a Shield over her and it hid her from Hell for seventeen years.
Until Brimstone-breath found her.
When I first met Luc in Pompeii, collecting souls after Vesuvius, I knew he was trouble. I sensed something different about him.
And now I’m sure.
He’s the only demon to ever be able to find Frannie through my Shield. There’s an almost tangible connection between the two of them that I can’t explain. But if I’m going to protect Frannie from Luc and his boss, I have to break it. I’ll do whatever it takes, even if it means crossing a line or two.
The truth is, I’ve caught myself wanting to cross those lines. There’s something about Frannie…maybe her inner strength, or her fierce loyalty, but she makes me feel things I didn’t know celestials could feel. I’ve always loved—it’s what angels do—but I’ve never loved. Or lusted.
I’m not of the Earth, so I can’t return to it if I fall. I know that if I give in to my Earthly desires, it means the Fires of Hell for me.
I’m still thinking about it.
But if I do that, I won’t be able to protect her, and if I can’t protect her, there will be Hell to pay for Heaven and Earth.
And I’m still thinking about it.
Luc
NOBODY KNOWS I AM: Dante’s muse.
I WISH I COULD STOP: Obsessing over Frannie.
I’M A SUCKER FOR: The smell of ginger.
A GOOD TIME FOR ME IS: Standing in the halls of high school and basking in the scents of the sea of teenage sin.
NOBODY WOULD BELIEVE ME IF THEY SAW ME: Lie to King Lucifer.
I’D REALLY RATHER: Read Dante in Italian to Frannie on my big black bed. (It gets her all hot.)
THE FIRST THING I DO IN THE MORNING IS: Fantasize about untying Frannie’s hair from the knot she wears it in and letting it fall over her shoulders as I start on the buttons of her… fade to black
Gabe
NOBODY KNOWS I AM: Falling (maybe literally) for a human.
I WISH I COULD STOP: Wanting Frannie.
I’M A SUCKER FOR: Frannie’s smile.
A GOOD TIME FOR ME IS: Taking Luc down.
NOBODY WOULD BELIEVE ME IF THEY SAW ME: Falling down on the job.
I’D REALLY RATHER: Take all Frannie’s pain away.
THE FIRST THING I DO IN THE MORNING IS: Check in at the Collective (because I have to).
Now how would you like to see videos dedicated to hottie.
Luc's is up first:
Now its Gabe's turn:
How great is all that!!! This is a love triangle I'd love to be the center of any day. Now to keep the excitement going, Lisa is offering a signed set of all 3 books in the trilogy. Enter below!!!
I haven't read this series but after reading about the characters Gabe and Luc, I definitely want to now! Hmm Ice or Fire. I have a fear of fire so I'd pick ICE :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, I read the first 2 books and waiting to read the third one!
ReplyDeleteNot sure what's going on with the end of the world... Hard to imagine it!
Ugh I've been dying to read this series, but I have no money to pick up ANY books right now. I'd have to say I think the world is going to end in Fire. With all of these heat waves, I can't imagine anything but burning up. lol
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, I think the world is going to end with fire due to all this commotion of global warming and the ice melting. As much as I'd prefer ice, I'm gonna say fire will destroy the world.
ReplyDeleteProbably fire, but that's just my random guess. And, thanks for this giveaway! I've been dying to read this series!
