DEVIL'S KISS gets 4 1/2 Stars and Top Pick from Romantic Times!
DEVIL'S KISS
by Zoë Archer
Genre: Historical Romance, Paranormal, England
Sensuality: HOT
Setting: 1762 England
RT Rating: 4 1/2 Stars TOP PICK!
The Hellraisers, a band of rakes and rogues who trade their souls in their search for pleasure make their debut in Archer’s new series. Her heroes are bad, dangerous and seductive, her heroines are their match in every way; and her stories are powerful and dark. Feminist, emotional and absolutely a “keeper.”
***
Hellraiser James Shelbourne, Earl of Whitney, is fearless in his pursuit of gambling pleasures. One night in a Romany encampment he meets the fascinating Zora Grey, a talented cardsharp. Zora teaches him what it means to lose, but she is unable to prevent the Hellraisers from making a deal with the devil — each will surrender his soul to gain his heart’s desire. Now, Zora must find a way to help Whit reclaim his soul by fighting against an evil that could consume the world and destroy their newfound love. (ZEBRA, Dec., 400 pp., $7.99)

DEMON'S BRIDE
by Zoe Archer

Sensuality: HOT
Setting: 1763 England
RT Rating
Archer returns for the second installment of The Hellraisers series, featuring a group of men who have sold their souls to the devil for various powers. Leo Bailey is a highly intriguing hero, and Archer’s skill at building layered characterization grounds the story and adds to the peril facing her protagonist.
Born a commoner, Leo Bailey has been determined to rise in wealth and power and seek vengeance on those who considered themselves superior to him. Through a bargain with the devil, Leo has the gift of foresight, which has made him rich. Now he just needs a blue-blooded bride to gain access to the ton. Anne Hartfield is the daughter of an impoverished baron, and she knows Leo is her best shot at marriage. Neither of them expects the intense attraction between them, both physical and mental. Just when Anne starts to realize she is falling in love with her husband, she is approached by Lord Whitney, a former member of the Hellraisers with a devastating warning: Leo’s soul is doomed unless Anne can find a way to save him! (ZEBRA, May, 368 pp., $6.99)

Yay! PW Review for DEMON'S BRIDE
"Archer’s second 18th-century paranormal (after Devil’s Kiss) does not disappoint, striking an impressive balance among plot, character development, and sizzling sensuality."
SINNER'S HEART Receives Four Stars From RT Book Reviews
"This is the third and final book in Archer’s Hellraisers series, but readers will have no problem jumping right in. Sinner’s Heart is a slow burn of a love story, but when the passion ignites, there is no putting out the flames. With all the human flaws of greed, lust and other sins, the devil has plenty to play with. The series is an interesting allegory about temptation and its consequences. If this is your first encounter with the Hellraisers, you will definitely want to go back and meet the others. Sexy, stylish, intelligent fiction at its best."
