Overview

Is it lust?

Ivak Sigurdsson is dead . . . well, sort of. Guilty of the sin of lust, he's been given an unusual penance: spend eternity as a Viking vampire angel, or vangel, fighting Lucipires, Satan's vampire demons on earth. Now sequestered in Angola Prison as a "spiritual advisor," Ivak is finding all these centuries of celibacy depressing, to say the least. But then, along comes southern belle Gabrielle Sonnier. Is shea reward for his good deeds, or a temptation sent to rattle his lustsome brain?

Or is it love?

Gabrielle, a lawyer, begs Ivak to help get her brother out of prison. Aided by the Cajun LeDeux family and their chief looney bird, Tante Lulu, Ivak reluctantly agrees. And while he alternately tries to seduce and save Gabrielle before the Lucipires run rampant, theyboth begin to wonder if it's reallyonly lust, or something more.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Hill's third Deadly Angels paranormal (after Kiss of Surrender) strays from the humorous into the ridiculous. Viking Ivak Sigurdsson was turned into a "vangel," a vampire angel, so he could atone for years of raping women and cuckolding men. In the present day, 1,200 years later, he poses as a "spiritual advisor" within the notorious Angola Prison. Despite a millennium of life experience and a job that requires constant contact with people, Ivak reacts to the modern world with a cluelessness that feels contrived and puerile. Equally absurd is his treatment of the heroine, attorney Gabrielle Sonnier, whom he manhandles, orders about, and otherwise attempts to dominate. Her outward offense is inexplicably overwhelmed by her inner feelings of desire as she reluctantly accepts Ivak's help with freeing her wrongly convicted brother from prison. Occasional jokes can't redeem the clumsy premise, repellent hero, and flimsy heroine. Agent: Jenny Bent, the Bent Agency.

    Ivak Sigurdsson is a Vangel (Vampire, Viking, Angel). Ivak was a viking that was deemed upon his death guilty of the sin of lust. His choice was to become a Vangel and serve under the Arch Angel Michael removing the Lucipires, Satan’s demon/vampires on earth or hell. Ivak choose Vangel. Now the centuries of celibacy and protecting inmates at the Angola Prison form Lucipires, Ivak is getting tired of his existence. Until Gabrielle Sonnier, lawyer, walks into his life.

    Gabrielle Sonnier only wants to get her brother out of prison. She became a lawyer just to help him but she is running out of options. Sent to visit Tante Lulu, the head of a crazy Cajun LeDeux family, she discovers much needed help in a quirky granny package.

    Ivak isn’t sure if what to make of Gabrielle. Is it lust? Could he have found love? And why does Gabrielle live across the street from one of the biggest Lucipires dens they’ve come across?

    Kiss of Temptation had a marvelous combination of witty, crazy characters, eccentric Cajuns, alpha Vikings with fangs and a riveting plot. Enjoyable from start to finish, Sandra Hill made me laugh and my heart clench. It was truly a pleasure to read this book... a feel good paranormal read.

    This ARC copy of Kiss of Temptation was given to me by Avon in exchange for an honest review. Publish Date March 26, 2013.

    Never left any feedback until now. Don't waste your time or money. I wouldn't even suggest this for the middle school kids, sans the sex. Just a bunch of nonsense.

    JUST AWESOME

    This book as well as all the Deadly Angel Books are just awesome. Love and humor make all of Sandra Hill's book worth reading but when she joins the Vangels with Tante Lulu.. OH MY GOSH what a treat.. Sandra is one of the best authors out there and her books are definitely worth reading and re-reading and re-reading.

    A disappointment

    Not nearly as good as her other books in the series. The characters are poorly developed and Ivak is a caricature who has little depth.

    Sandra Hill's vangels--Viking, vampire angels--give readers a whole different way to look at sin and redemption, one that's funny with some sizzling romance thrown in. I wish I had a beach and some sun. KISS OF TEMPTATION is a great escape.
