Description: He’s sexy as sin and hotter than hell and—oh wait.
What would you do to save a loved one’s life? Make a pact with the Devil?
In Diana Kingston’s defense, it was the middle of the night in the deserted hospital chapel… surely it was just a dream. She hadn’t really sold herself to a brooding stranger to save her father’s life, right? Then she wakes and her father is fully recovered and a mysterious letter arrives from the tall, dark, handsome—um, Devil? Yep, it was right there on the contract, Lucien Star, aka Lucifer Morningstar, that had been his name in the dream… Gulp. What would the Devil himself want with her? Sex. Three months of hot, sweaty, Friday night sex.
Ooookay. Breaking a pact with the Devil doesn’t seem like a smart move. So she’ll do it—but she won’t like it. Not much anyway. But she starts liking it – a lot—and every night they spend together, she likes it and Lucien a little more. Being with him allows her naughty side to come out and play, but Diana starts to see more than just a sexy-as-sin, rock-hard … er…Anyway, he might be Satan, but even he was an angel once. Kind. Noble. And she sees glimpses of that man still inside him… But how in Heaven’s name do you save the Devil from himself?
My opinion: This was an unexpectedly wonderful story. I loved the lessons of the book and how the unredeemable can sometimes have some saving grace. If you are looking for a book that will give you all the feels and is not your typical storyline, grab this one, it is just what you’re looking for. This story captivated me from the very beginning. It’s hot and steamy, but at the same time sweet. Who would fallen in love with devil, and does a devil can love? It’s nice to read a book like this, with great story line, interesting characters and writing pen that simply make you glide through pages.
Diane's father is literally on his death bed when she meets Lucifer and makes a deal with him. She agrees to save her father's life in exchange for her soul and her body for 12 Fridays. Yes, he is exactly who you think he is... he is the King of Hell. What starts off as a deal becomes love and affection for these two.
This story may be short, but I quickly developed empathy for both Diana and Lucifer. I loved both of them and was rooting for them since the beginning of their story. It was so heartfelt and emotional and the ending so beautiful and powerful enough to make me sob. I wish it didn’t have to end, the epilogue was a perfect conclusion, yet it still made my heart ache. Wonderful job, I can honestly say this deserves a perfect five out of five stars.

Definitely not my normal read in the least. I have never wanted the bad for you (for sure worst guy for anyone). This is the first book by thins author for me but good lord ;) did I love it.
The book was good but I was not taken away by it....
However, what really bothered me was the way it ended. Why did he have to turn into human... I would like it much more if he rather whisked her with him to hell and not this whole amnesia, fake memories bullshit.

Midnight With the Devil by Emma Castle – This was a freebie, and I was ready to find it sacrilegious to the point of being annoying. I actually really liked it once I dismissed the humanization of the devil. If we are going to be fair, I really liked the leading lady. I was just thrilled she got the happy ending she deserved! Happy Reading!

This was a great little dark romance.

The Devil makes a deal and gets more than he bargained for.

This is an alternate universe, smutty Lucifer fanfiction - with an OC/Lucifer pairing and no crime fighting - IMO. My qualms lie in the fact that I found the relationship between the two protagonists lacking and rushed. Also, Emma's writing style contains a lot of flowery/odd descriptors that are not for me. Example: "seam" being used to describe a vaginal opening. I couldn't stop thinking of zippers and waist bands.
I know we are never to judge a book by its cover, but something about this one kind of grabbed me. Once I read the blurb, the storyline sounded really interesting. Well, it definitely was. Usually anti-heroes are a hit or miss for me, but I really liked Lucien in this one.
I loved both characters so much! Diana was all good, she was so kind and sweet. She basically gave up her soul to save her father. And then you have Lucien, who could be such a jerk (he is the Devil), but as he spends more time with Diana, things start to change for him.
I did not see this as too dark of a romance, which is actually nice sometimes. I think it is the banter between the two that I loved the most. When Lucien was the a$$, I just wanted to kick him where it hurts, then we have those hilarious moments like in the grocery store, where I was laughing out loud. But then you have those sweet moments when Lucien actually starts to feel that made my heart melt.
Overall, I thought this was a great debut novel. And the ending was just perfect.
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the complimentary copy of Midnight with the Devil. All opinions are my own.
