Devyn Quinn lures readers in with her highly charged, erotic novel, Flesh and the Devil.
Brendan is a detective on the vice squad, investigating such crimes as prostitution and drug dealing. When he goes on his latest case, he never suspects the dark underworld he will be sucked into unwittingly.
His current job trying to bust a prostitution ring leads the sexy, sultry Liadan into his life. She is a presumed "lady of the night" he is trying to arrest when she gets the better of him during their "transaction." In spite of the conflict caused by their opposing careers, Brendan is drawn to the mysterious woman for some unknown reason. This attraction finds him planning a future rendezvous with Liadan that rocks his world.
One thing leads to another and suddenly these two star crossed lovers find themselves wrapped up in a passionate affair neither can ignore. For Liadan is a different kind of lady of the night, a vampire to be exact and she is trapped in a situation she cannot escape. She is imprisoned by the incredibly powerful and horrendously evil Auguste and only Brendan, in his blood, holds the key to breaking Auguste's hold over Liadan forever. Will the overwhelming attraction between Brendan and Liadan be enough to break the spell?
This is one amazingly hot and sexy tale! Ms. Quinn has woven a captivating story in more ways than one that readers of sensual paranormal romance will love. Brendan and Liadan's affair starts with sexual attraction that ignites their hearts and souls. The two of them are unable to resist each other and soon find out their feelings have destined them for greater things. Their passion burns strong and bright, scorching the pages as readers speed through the book to find out where this will lead.
Auguste is a truly horrific villain one will love to hate. His plans will not be thwarted for anything and he will fight to the death to gain even more power. The plot is strong as secrets are revealed and fate intervenes, with an interesting concept for the vampire and magical worlds. How these are woven into the story and Brendan and Liadan's lives will fascinate. Events unfold in a slow and steady pace, building up to an explosive final confrontation, much like a roller coaster moves along until reaching the peak of that big hill, plummeting down fast and furious, making for an exhilarating ride. This is a fascinating story that is not for the faint of heart.
The sex scenes are hot hot hot and guaranteed to make readers need an ice cold shower, or a very willing partner, to relieve the building sexual tension. However, readers should keep in mind that there are some extremely graphic sex scenes, featuring dominance/submission with bondage that will likely offend sensitive readers.
In short, if readers want a hot and sexy erotica story that is not lacking in adventure, mystery, and magic, then they can't go wrong with Flesh and the Devil by Devyn Quinn.

I love her style!, May 28, 2007
This is a fantastic book, as much for the sexy characters and exciting plot as for the almost lyrical writing style of the author. Devyn Quinn has such an amazing way with words--her scenes absolutely sing when you read them. There are a lot of vampire romances out there right now, some more erotic than others, but I can guarantee none will affect you like this one from Ms. Quinn.

Guaranteed to scorch you!, November 28, 2007
Falling for a woman with secrets is more dangerous than undercover Vice Brenden Wallace could ever expect. It all started with Brenden's investigation of the escort service Exotic Jewels, and trying to bust them for prostitution. The plan backfired when Liadan blew his cover, ...only to blow his mind later that night under the covers!
Liadan was a creature of the night, vampyr if you will. She could not resist the spark she saw within Brenden and left her mark upon his neck. She wanted to be Brenden's one and only but when her body and soul belonged to something else, something evil, it was just not possible.
Auguste Maximilan was the owner of Liadan and now Brenden. Only the power of the Ancient Wyr's hidden inside Brenden and his sister Dani, could even stand a chance against Auguste. Can love win against the forces of evil? Or will all be lost into a dark void?
Devyn Quinn's book Flesh and the Devil is phenomenal! The warning label on the back cover tells the reader that this is a really HOT book and it is exactly that, HOT! The characters were very life like and the storyline was easy to follow allowing the reader to escape into a whole other world. The erotic scenes defined the word erotic, at some point I expected the pages to go up in flames. This book is sure to heat you up on a cold night. 5 Hearts
