Book Review: A Good Year (Unhallowed Love Book 1) by Tara Fox Hall + giveaway


Book review is coming soon!

A Good Year (Unhallowed Love Book 1)
by Tara Fox Hall
February 7, 2017
172 pages

Genre: Paranormal Romantic Suspense
Faced with losing Pandora Productions as well as her best friend Rebecca to the smarmy Paul, savvy film executive Debbie makes a pact with the demon Shaker, agreeing to bind herself to him as his human master in return for killing Paul and securing Pandora’s future. Yet even as Pandora gains accolades and renown, Debbie’s strong resolve begins to crumble under the weight of her actions. And the pleasure she finds in Shaker’s arms is becoming more than sex. Is Debbie doomed to lose her heart as well as her soul to a demon who has only been waiting for the chance to claim both?

Excerpt:
“I never asked you to kill anyone,” Debbie said defensively. “I never asked you to—”

“You asked me to save your company, and I’ve done it,” Shaker shouted, the boom of his voice shaking the room like a small earthquake. He loomed over her. “What did you think was going to happen? I’m a demon out of Hell! What did you think I would do when you unleashed me on your enemies?”

“These are human beings—”

“Who matter as much as insects splattered on a windshield,” Shaker snarled. “Humans are just another species who think that they are superior to all others…a prevalent notion in all evolved creatures. They are not.” He stared down at her. “You are not superior to me, Mistress.”

Debbie looked up at him with tear-filled eyes. “But I am human. How do I know you won’t hurt me, too, Shaker?”

“Honestly?” he said gruffly, his expression softening. “You don’t. But the same could be said of any human man you know, Mistress.” He leaned in closer, tilting his head. “And I kiss better than most.”

Debbie didn’t know what to do when the demon’s lips met hers. She leaned back involuntarily, but Shaker just leaned forward farther, his lips pressing hers. His kiss was nothing like she’d expected it to be: not brutally strong, or too hot, or even too provocative. It began as a chaste kiss; gentle, languid, warm, with just a hint of passion to come if the merest sign was given. The longer it went on, the hotter Debbie got, the urge to open her mouth growing each moment. Just as she gave in and relaxed into Shaker’s embrace, he pulled back from her, ending the kiss, his red eyes staring into hers, his desire mirroring her desire.

Author Tara Fox Hall: Making a deal with a demon: Pros and Cons (A Good Year book tour) + giveaway

MAKING A DEAL WITH A DEMON: PROS AND CONS

PROS:
• Never having to worry about being misunderstood (your bonded demon can read your thoughts)

• Romantic moments won’t be few and far between, and will happen exactly when you want them to (and when you’re tired he’ll just accept “no.”)

• He probably won’t be averse to dressing in romantic shirts with ruffles, ties or lace cuffs…or in his bare skin, on command. Same goes for foot rubs!

• You won’t ever have to deal with a mid-life crisis. Demons don’t age!

• You won’t ever have to have the discussion about how his body has changed since he was eighteen. You may get to have the discussion of whose body you’d like him to inhabit, a.k.a., possess!

• His sex drive will remain constant and unchanging…and HIGH

• Relative Immortality = LOTS and LOTS of experience…in ALL areas. Need I say more?

• You’ll never need to fix him his dinner…only give him a suggestion of who to target to BE his dinner. You can command him to fix YOU dinner!

• He will defend your life to the death…as if you die, he’ll be sent back to Hell.

CONS:
• You’re going to have a problem getting into church (Demon taint to the soul, and all that)

• If your demon is wounded, you will feel his pain as if it were your own.

• Your lover will not understand how hard it is to diet, lose weight, or restrain from eating certain foods (but will likely constantly tell you that he understands)

• You’ll have to dispense with all religious objects in your home, or jewelry, as all types of faith are a no-no that cause demons pain

• You may need to explain modern conveniences to him, depending on when he was last out of Hell

• Hooves and horns aren’t fun in bed

• He’s likely to be a chauvinist, if a mild one, and may need constant reminding that what was appropriate in 0017 is not appropriate in 2017

• Your soul might be flagged for Hell, depending on your binding agreement (check the fine print)

• You’ll suddenly be the target of demon hunters, who know that killing you will land that hated demon of yours back in Hell

• You might be viewed as a snack in the event you break your agreement with him

Any additions to the list you can think of, blog readers? Please leave a comment!

There's No Heaven....Like Hell

Faced with losing Pandora Productions as well as her best friend Rebecca to the smarmy Paul, savvy film executive Debbie makes a pact with the demon Shaker, agreeing to bind herself to him as his human master in return for killing Paul. When the intended coup goes amiss, resulting in the deaths of both Rebecca and Paul, Debbie finds herself alone at Pandora’s helm, facing a rising tide of corporate enemies led by Paul’s duplicitous son Dante and the behemoth Titan Pictures. Shaker’s backing smoothes the way, solving some problems supernaturally, others through brutal bloodshed, even as he calls into play various preternatural and human allies to assist Debbie.

As the months pass, Debbie’s strong resolve begins to crumble under the weight of her actions, even as she guiltily concedes the pleasure she finds in Shaker’s arms is becoming something more than just affection. Is there hope for a happy ending built on so much evil? Or is Debbie doomed to lose her heart as well as her soul to a demon who has only been waiting for the chance to claim both?

Available now for $4.99 only. Grab your copy today.


It takes talent on the part of an author to get me rooting for someone who's decidedly not a 'good person'. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I would recommend to anyone who likes something a little different in the way of paranormal romance and would enjoy a more mature heroine. Five Stars.

Tara Fox Hall is a writer of consummate skill. I have been following her for years and have never been disappointed.
