is sin personified, from his massive Adonis bulk to his mesmerizing face and eyes, He turns women into gushing fangirls, collecting panties and phone numbers the way others collect baseball cards, He is also immortal, paying off a debt to the devil who owns his soul in return for an answered plea long ago ad he is on a mission to feed evil.
Dante NEVER gets involved with anyone, too much pain, too much chance for loss, but he is always up for a few fun and games moments, but even that can get boring.
Imagine his surprise when a timid and sweet young shop girl rebuffs his infamous charm, Its GAME ON to win the adoration of one Hannah Miller! What Dante discovers under the plain clothes and wallflower countenance is a bright and witty woman who is desperately trying to stay under the radar of evil.
She was just supposed to be his target, not a gifted woman who is turning his knees to jelly.
But Hannahs fear of discovery of both herself and her brother far outweigh any chances she would take for romance, unless Dante can convince her otherwise.
When she demonstrates her power to heal others, she becomes the target from one of hells minions and it is up to Dante to save her, no matter the cost to himself.
Will he be her savior, as well as her lover or will they have to save each other Her greatest betrayer is the one she has worked so hard to protect, will this break her spirit and her will to live or is there some magic between Hannah and Dante that proves stronger than the legions of Hell Is it love
Relentless Flame by Jillian David is hotter than blazes, from start to finish as one overinflated ego meets the one person who humbles his heart.
If you are a fan of great bantering dialogue, trust me, its here! Do you love characters you can despise Once again, Ms.
David weaves a tale of evil vs good, freedom vs enslavement and the most powerful force of all, love.

I received this book free from the author in exchange for a review.
I loved this book and would love to read the first book and the following books, This is a love story between a indebted and a mortal, or is she I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves a good love story! I really enjoyed this book! The writing is well done and flows so smoothly that page after page just fly by.
I did not read the first book in this series, but still felt like I didn't miss anything and situations were well explained.
The concept of the Indebted, . . as contract killers to the devil, . . was really original and I look forward to exploring the rest of the series, Kind of expected the same thing as book, Nope. Then I thought that Dante would be a jerk and I wouldn't like him, Double nope. After Dante tried his flirting on an emotionallywounded Hannah, and she puts him in his place, he straightened up kind of.
He's still got that naughtiness from the first book, but he's much more focused and that gave him ridiculous levels of sexiness.
Tight writing, fast pace. The story is heart wrenching and gut wrenching at the same time, and I can't believe I have to wait until when for the next book.
Wow !!! Relentless Flame by Jillian David was a great second book in her Hell to Pay series,
You dont need to read the first book, but a few of the previous characters are in this book.
So it helps to have a little background, I was extremely lucky to read the first book, and liked Dante straight away, cold killer, but loyal to a fault, oh and a total hound dog !!!!
Hes in a little town searching for someone, as he has a message to deliver.
Dante is an indebted. An immortal assassin, chained by the devil, he kills evil with his dagger, hoping one day to repay the debt and be free.
Dante is not use to being told NO, men and women flirt and offer phone numbers and favours, so when a mousy librarian says no, Dante makes it his mission to have her.
Hannah is hiding, after escaping from an abusive father, Hannah and her brother have escaped, and now they live their lives on the edge, She has a talent she takes people aches, pains and injuries into herself, But, after something at home goes wrong, Hannah flees for her life,
The attraction between Dante and Hannah is very heartfelt, I love how Hannah puts Dantes ego in it place, and how Dante is never sure about how Hannah feels about him.
I loved how Hannahs character grew under Dantes care and attention,
Dantes boss sends out other assassins to end Hannah he is worried after losing Peter to a woman, he wants to keep his indebted, so they end up on the run together.
Dante can think of nothing else but keeping her safe and protected, He realizes how much she had come to mean to him,
They end up in the woods in a small cabin hidden away where Dante finally risks everything and tells Hannah the truth about what he really is.
Will he also tell her the real reason he is there What will Hannah think of Dante Will she believe him
I loved getting a glimpse of Peter and Allie from the first book and seeing how they are doing.
I also love Barnaby, and hope he appears in the next book, I have to admit I didnt connect with Dante and Hannah as much as Peter and Allie, but I did enjoy their story more !!
Relentless Flame and the Hell to Pay series is fantastic, and I highly recommend it.
I cant wait to see where Jillian David takes us next, A pleasure to read
Although the second in the series, Relentless Flame can definitely stand on its own.
That is how I read this title and I didn't really feel that anything was unexplained, having said that, I do plan to go back an read the first book but just because it was so good I want to stay in that world just a little longer.
I hesitate to call Dante a 'hero' because he has done some truly evil things in service to the devil, but he is sarcastic, arrogant and absolutely hilarious in his frustration when Hannah refuses to be seduced.
Hannah is fragile and yet resilient, and shows remarkable strength of character in the face of the many betrayals she had endured.

With believable characters and set in an intriguing world, Relentless Flame was a pleasure to read, It keeps getting better!
“I dont want anyone else, Ill never want anyone else, Its only been you from the moment we met, ” Hannah Miller
When an author you've just discovered does an amazing job from the first book you've read from them, it only stands to reason that you expect them to keep up the good work.
It's only a straight path up ahead or, . . well a downhill spiral. In other words, the next book will be equally good, or worse,
But here Dante comes, ready to kick that kind of expectation outta the nearest window, And salute it goodbye in the most suave of ways exactly the way he does almost every single thing! Because Dante's book was even better than Peter's and that was already pretty spectacular, anyway!
In Dante's story, the tall, hot, blonde Indebted decides to deliver a message from one of the criminals he's out to kill.
Turns out that the guy had abused his stepkids, especially his stepdaughter, Jessica, and he asks, as a death wish, for forgiveness.
So, Dante takes it upon himself to find the woman and pass on the message personally, During his search, he meets Hannah, a mousy bookshop assistant and for the first time ever, his longdead heart starts beating an entirely different tune than the one he was used to for centuries.
. .
Let me tell you right now, if you read the first book and think "OK, awesome, but this is it, there's no suspense anymore.
I know what the Meaningful Kill is now, I know what Dante will have to do, There goes the element of surprise, . . " you're completely wrong! Yes, the Meaningful Kill holds the same theme for almost all the Indebted, But that doesn't mean that it's executed the same way for everyone, At least, Mrs. David doesn't let it be that way,
Element of surprise restored,
Faith in this series not lost,
Awesomeness levels over the freaking roof!
Not to mention the fact Hannah was such a wonderful addition to the female cast of the series.
Sweet, selfless, loyal to a fault even when she had no reason to be, She knew Dante was dangerous since his murderous instincts were all over the place, and yet she decided to trust him.
BUT! Make no mistake. She was understanding, not an idiot, She was cautious next to this massive guy, despite wanting him, And the way she kept trying to protect him when she was a bitesized mortal was so adorable!
Dante.
. . Well, you all know how I feel about the guy, He's my bias of this series funny giants always make me go all soft and gooey inside, And we seem to have the same fetish with glasses, so, yeah, . . I should probably also mention, he came really close to get in my book boyfriends' Hall of Fame so far, only two of all the book hunks I've read in my life have made it there, so it's a real accomplishment!.
The story was even better than the first installment of the series, If that was even possible! It was funnier, faster in pace, had more suspense, made me
cringe because this author sure knows how to write torture scenes and make you feel the physical abuse the characters are going through!, and, let's not forget, had me panting from the hotness in the love scenes.
Mrs. David, really, you are a writer of many talents!
Now I'm off to start the next book.
Nurse Ratched has my attention alright I can't wait to see how a female Indebted performs under the current conditions that Dante and Peter brought upon those who are still not free.

Read this and other reviews at: sitelink wordpress. com/ Recommend Yep!
Overall I liked this book but I had a few issues,
Let me start with the plot, Great! I eagerly awaited my request to read this book, The author is wellversed in the sensuality needed but Dante is NOT, I feel he needs Charm School and he finally realizes this, He is stalking Jessica/Hannah at her place of work and though he realizes it, he does little about it! He knows she is damaged before they meet, yet seems incapable of toning down the machismo until she tells him her story.
Her brother Scott is a piece of work now that he's hanging around Brandon, Scott's character was needed to bring in the bad guys so, Bravo! Mission accomplished, dude,
Although this isn't a glowing review, I did like the book, I liked how Hannah absorbs other peoples pain and sickness, and I like that Dante got his Meaningful Kill.

There are books in series that are good, and then there are books that kind of set the bar for the next installments in the series.
Relentless Flame is that book for the Hell to Pay series,
There are books in series that are good, and then there are books that kind of set the bar for the next installments in the series.
Relentless Flame is that book for the Hell to Pay series,
First of all, let me tell you that the cover model looks so similar to Kevin Sorbo.
If you don't know who Kevin Sorbo is shame on you, and go search him, I had to get that off my chest before talking about the book, My love for the book has nothing to do with KS, just FYI, Anyway, moving on.
Dante is the kind of hero that I love to love, He is cocky, he is sure of himself, and he knows what he wants and acts accordingly, The part that I love about him He is so freaking adorable when he's out of his element, I giggled like a loon reading his first interactions with Hannah, because he was so confused by her, Here you have an oldasdirt man that has been with more women than he could ever count, and Hannah renders him speechless.
I loved that so much, mostly because I love reading about the inner struggle of any character to realize that they can be bested.
Aside from the funny stuff, I love that with him you can sort of see the old, kind of classic upbringing.
I love his speech patterns, his vocabulary, even the little phrases in Swedish, A testament to Davis' writing style really, because it was a different experience than with reading Peter's book, I loved that book, yes, but this book had an oldsoul feel to it,
Hannah was awesome, Her life was so tragic, and I am so happy with how the story ended for her, I was impressed by her, really, She has an interesting ability, to heal people, and it's interesting to see how that ability isn't helping her heal her soul.
I found that aspect of her really intriguing,
I like how the story is going for Jerahmeel, I love how both the previous book and this one show how he is slowly losing it, I also like that he's not portrayed in a typical way, he isn't smooth or silent or just deadly.
He seems more deranged, and I like that,
I liked the pacing of the book, it felt fast enough to keep me on my toes, but slow enough to not make the relationship between Hannah and Dante forced.
This book also introduced a new character, Ruth, and her book is next, I'm curious how that will go on, and how the rest of the Indebted start fighting for their freedom.
I'm not ready for the series to end, though, Is it too much to hope for a spinoff,
