Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 04 3, 2014
The Devil's Salvation is a dark erotic romance.  It contains BDSM.  Please be aware that there is explicit sexual scenes, as well as graphic subject matter.  Be forewarned that if you enjoy those elements than the Devil's Salvation is quite the book for you.The Devil's Salvation is the epilogue in Gage and Kayla's story.Kayla has moved away, and a year later Gage finds her.  He seeks to claim her again, and bring her home.  At the same time, Ian also seeks her out.  But Kayla is really messed up from Gage's actions, and the effects he has on her.  She must decide if it is the sweet romantic she will fall for, or if it the beast.What really summarized the story is when Gage and Kayla are compared to Beauty and the Beast.  Gage is truly a best, but at times he can be very gentle.  He has a ferocious temper, that is somewhat out of control when he is jealous.The reader also gets more of the background behind Gage.  Especially the relationship with his half-brother, Ian.  We see what made Gage the man he is.The only thing that I had a hard time was how mean Gage was, and when he was cruel to Kayla.  I was kind of glad Gage was gone for a year, and that made him reflect his actions.  But is that enough to tame the beast inside him?The novel has a good point in showing that what we see isn't always what is happening in reality.  And to learn what reality is you need to look past the facade.  For me, Gage emulated a man who wanted control all the time.  In reality, you will learn much more about Gage's need to control.
