Publisher's summary

"The Sinners and Saints series is out of this world mesmerizing and each book leaves you hungover! I felt every emotion of Tempting Devil to the depths of my soul!" (BookHavenBookBlog)

I sold my soul to the devil.

Blair

Hard times prove who’s a survivor and who’s not. Me? I’m a survivor.

The plan was perfect: steal one of his cars for a payout to set us up for life. All while getting back at him for tormenting me from the moment I first stepped foot in stuck-up Silver Lake High School.

But he caught me red-handed. What’s worse, a jail sentence or becoming the devil’s favorite toy?

My devious monster made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. Now I’m selling everything to him. Even my soul.

The secret to being carefree is love nothing.

Devlin

The puppets are fooled into believing my game of pretend. But the way she looks at me has always pierced beneath my skin. Like she knows. She’s a gutter rat - how could she possibly understand?

I vowed to break her the first time. When I catch her stealing my car, it’s clear she hasn’t learned her lesson. She won’t escape my wrath again.

Ready to play a game, little thief? The rules are simple: My way is law.

A dark blackmail enemies to lovers!

Devlin and Balir were literally fire!
Blackmail has never been so hot before.
This high school enemies to lovers bully romance was literally what I needed to listen to.

This is book 2 in the series although it can be listened to as a standalone.

The narrators performed an amazing audio delivery and narration.

Blackmail was never so hot!

This story starts out with Blair trying to steal Devlin's car. She gets caught and blackmailed by Devlin. Blair's family is down on their luck. Her mom works herself the death to cover her father's debts. Her Father took off and left them with all the bills. Devlin is the alpha asshole but as the story progresses we see that he life is not the greatest. His parents are never around and they are not loving or nurturing. Devlin is so miserable in his life that he takes it out on others. The one he takes it out the most on is Blair. He blackmailers her into playing a game with him. He gives her money to do embarrassing thing or degrading things. He only pays her if she completes the task. This put these two characters at odds through most of the book. Blair is a very strong character and never really breaks even though Devil pushes her to her limit. This book does have a HEA and so really hot love scenes. My fav books are duel narration. I love that Micheal does all the boy parts and Meg does all the girl ones. They do an amazing job of bringing the characters to life. Veronica is a very good writer and she really makes to care for Devlin, even though he is a total ass. I can't wait for book 3. #VIPFlockReviewer #PinkFlamingoProductions #AudioObsessionReviewer

I LOVE THIS BOOK (and the series!)!!!! The wit and snark in Tempting Devil smart and fast-paced. Tempting Devil was one of those books that I didn't want to put down but also I didn't want it to finish. I loved the reveals and how two broken souls come together so completely.

Tempting Devil also gives you a sneak peak into Conner's book which I want. It was just enough to whet your appetite but no details are given away. Very much the tease from Veronica Eden.

I received this audiobook for free from Pink Flamingo Productions. THis is my honest and voluntary review.

Thoroughly enjoyed

This was my first book by Veronica and I really, really enjoyed it. I absolutely love these dark adult high school bully enemies to lovers type of books. I just found another new author to add to my go to authors. What an absolutely thrilling ride!

Devlin and Blair

This is the second book in the series. I have read/listened to each of them but not in order. Each are well written. This one stands out with the emotions in the story. You want to beat Devlin sometimes but love him too. The sass Blair has is amazing. All in all things progress how they are meant to. I absolutely love this epilogue! Great series. Narrators do an amazing job as well.

I received an ALC from Pink Flamingo Productions

Blair and Devlin

Wow what a ride Devkin and Blair took me on! I loved the dual narration from Michael and Meg. They brought every word, every emotion to life. Blair is such a strong female and Devlin, well he's pretty much an ass. It some how I couldn't help but care about him. That takes a lot of talent from the writer. Amazing all the way around!!

Very Tempting

Blair needs money and she decides to steal Devlin's car because she is tired of him picking on her and knows that he has more than enough to share. She is caught and to stay out of jail, she makes a deal with the Devil. She will do anything for money and to stay out of jail. Devlin makes her an even more laughing stock of the school. But spending so much time together, they develop feelings for each other and start a relationship. The only problem is that they did not clarify what they were to each other and both think that the other is in it for the wrong reasons.

Devilish

Very entertaining! The narration is off the charts. The dual narration brings so much to the table.

The Devil and the Thief

I loved this bully romance even though Devlin wasn't a very likable character. Blair has been bullied and tormented by Devlin all throughout high school but this year things are brought to a whole new level. The story is emotional, captivating and intense. It kept me on the edge of my seat from the beginning all the way until the end. I love that we not only get Blair's point of view, but also Devlin's. It makes it easier to understand him and eventually like him by the end. Meg Sylvan and Michael Gallagher both did an amazing job with this duet narration and really brought these characters to life.
🎧Pink Flamingo Productions, The Flock Reviewer

Loved it.

This book was better than the first. I loved both Devlin and Blair they both come with their own baggage and problems and it makes the book all the better. I love that this book is done in dual narration. 🎧 PInkFlamingoProductions 🎧AudioObsession

5 Stars

I was given this audiobook via #Flock Review promo code at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This can be listened to as a standalone despite being book 2 in the series (and the storyline is significantly improved from Wicked Saint) the chemistry between Blair and Devlin is palpable. Devil Boy Devlin finds Blair after hours with her hands all over his body-his cars body that is. Before long, he can't stop thinking about having his hands all over HERS. Unfortunately for Blair, the failed attempt at Grand Theft Devlins Auto leaves her at his mercy when he makes her sign a contract agreeing to be HIS in any way that he decides in exchange for the payments she needs (to fund her mothers medical care) at first he's just hell bent on destroying and toying with the trailer park charity case at his school... but then he begins to uncover more and more about why she needs the money, about her home life, and when his blackmail & her debts escalates to private medical rooms and her having to play 'House' he wishes more than anything that the affection hes paying her for was real.

I really enjoyed the dual narration in this story.

Bully to the max!

Blair sold her soul to the devil not realizing just how bad things could be.. but her options were limited. She didn't really have a choice in the matter and well survival and all.

Devlin is the villain in this story.. the devil himself. He admits it freely, he knows.. It's no secret. He just can't help himself... however, there is more to him than that he just refuses to show it. He knows that his pawns have no idea what his life is like, they believe his lies and the front he puts up.

The problem... Blair sees straight through him, and him her. They both see the more underneath that they try to keep hidden.

Devlin vowed to break Blair, when he catches her stealing his car he realizes it's time to up the ante. The game has gotten more severe, more intense, more... just more.

The dynamic between these two is tough to say the least, there is attraction obviously but they both loathe each other so thoroughly that they can't imagine there being anything other than hate.

The torture and heartache experienced is cruel and real. I wanted to shake these two so many times. I despised the fact that they couldn't see the truth and couldn't get past their own stubbornness to admit the truth, not even to themselves. BUT it was realistic. It's true, it happens. People are scared to admit feelings, especially at that age. Even though they are both wise beyond their years they are still teenagers.

I loved Blair and all her fire even with the horrible hand life has dealt her, she has things Devlin has only ever dreamed of even though she thinks it's him who has things she has only ever dreamed of. On the outside he has the perfect life, but that isn't always the case. Devlin was harder to fall for, he was cruel and mean for the fun of being on top, yet there is a reason for it all. I fell for him eventually, but it wasn't easy.. he was so harsh, but yet I understood it and once I fell I swooned HARD! Once he finally let himself out it was beautiful. It made my heart so happy and I wouldn't have wanted things to play out any other way.

This story is amazing. Veronica Eden has a way with character development that makes them so real to me. I feel like I grew up with these characters and loved them as I would a real person. Well written and thought out.

Meg Sylvan and Michael Gallagher did an amazing job with these characters. This was my first time listening to either of them and I enjoyed it very much.

Tempting Devil

This is a bully romance book that pushed all the limits! These two are so strong and yet have those weak points that just strengthen when they are together. This series gets better with every book and I can’t wait to see more.

Great Listen!

I have a love/hate relationship with Devlin. I mean he’s a complete and total jerk with no redeeming qualities. Or so I thought. As the story goes on, you really get to see the vulnerable side of Devlin and you get to understand, in a way, why he is the way he is. When he finally realizes that he doesn’t hate Blair, he’s actually really sweet. And when Blair needs him the most, he’s there. The chemistry between the two is undeniable and hot af 🔥🔥.

Veronica Eden definitely knows how to write a bully romance and bring the heat!

Meg & Michael did a fantastic job narrating!

Devlin and Blair!

Devlin appears to be living the dream as he comes from an affluent family, he holds a position of power in school and plays for the soccer team, but appearances can be deceiving. His past has taught him that allowing people close only leads to heartbreak so he has built walls around himself that few could penetrate.

Blair may remember a happy family life, but those days are just a distant memory. As rich as her classmates are, she is just as impoverished. She and Mom struggle to survive but they share a loving and close relationship which is how her actions have led to her being controlled by Devlin.

What starts out as Devlin bullying Blair into certain actions leads to a connection and chemistry between them that neither expected but if they are to have a future together they must trust each other with their secrets and their hearts.

Both characters have so many layers and their vulnerability is what makes them so compelling. I listened to an audio copy of this book and the narrators did a great job of bringing out the angst of not only their relationship but their lives as well. 🎧The Flock

Declining and Blair

Another knock out from Veronica Eden in her Sinners and Saints Series.

Amazing and enticing YA bully romance story. In this book we have a heroine who is fighting to help out her Mom Maizie who she loves with all her heart. They only have one another and the lengths that Blair goes through in this story to help her mom warmed my heart.

Devlin really hides his emotions through most of his life but remembers a connection to a young girl who showed him hope. I was amazed to see how detached his parents are to him in this book and loved how the connection with Blair turns him into a truly caring person.

The narrators were so wonderfully matched with the characters and I became engrossed with this book. Amazing job by both Meg and Michael and I hope to hear more by them. Dual narration is always such a joy to experience.
