Plot Summary
Cadeon Weode has a secret. Not so much a secret as a past, actually. The guilt will haunt him forever...save for the one thing he can do to atone for his sins. Of course, the one key to his success--a halfling by the name of Holly Ashwin--isn't all that she appears. It seems as if letting her go is going to be as difficult as righting the wrong he committed so many eons ago.
Of course, Holly herself is no enigma. Raised as a human, she has no idea what is to come, until a demon comes to guard her as if she were his own personal pet. What transpires after is a long, deep tale of redemption, desire, and betrayal. Who will come out on top? Well, that's anyone's guess.

"Another one in the same vein from Kresley Cole. Cade Woede knows who his fated female is, but it also turns out she's the Vessel and he has to give her up in order to right the wrong he did his brother 9 centuries before. He lies to her and takes her to the sorcerer who's going to trade a sword that can kill the usurper to Rydstrom's throne in exchange for her. Demon meets girl, girl overcomes inner hand-ups to trust demon, demon betrays girl, girl forgives demon because she sees he had no choice. Getting pretty formulaic at this point, but they're still fun to read and fast moving."

" I absolutely loved this book! I think I fell in love with Cadeon...I want my own rage Demon. I loved Holly too, though...she kicked butt and left no one for you to take their names. She definitely didn't need her man protecting her. It seemed like she was always having to save his cute behind. I've enjoyed all of the IAD books, but I think this was my fave...at least so far! I do think Kresley Cole is awesome! Could I put another exclamation point in here you think!!! "

" It is in my top 5 for favorite books. ITS very well thought up. The lore, fallen, ghosts, the characters weird habits, the background, and much more. This book has stuck with me after reading it which suprises me. I don't set into a book and expect for this to happen, I expect to have a good read which hook's me enough to read the rest of the series and "enjoy" them. Its like if I were five years old and wanted to go to an amusement park and my parents agreed to take me, but then they suprise me and we show up at disney world. "

" I really liked this book. I like all the iad books. I liked how Cade was with Holly. He taught her so much and didn't make fun of her. He was sexy and tender. It is a must read "
