Fiore delivers captivating characters, suspense, and to die for romance. Expect heart clenching details, jaw dropping moments, and an on the edge of your seat read.

“You make me lose my breath when you’re around. I’ve never felt that before.”

The love between Anton and his dancer, Piper, is intense, unexpected, and all consuming. I couldn’t help but love Anton from the start. He’s dragged himself from the depths of Hell, climbed his way to the top, and knows what it is just to survive. Piper is inherently good, altruistic even, and enchants Anton with her innocence and beauty. While he’s dark and enigmatic, she’s light and pure. The best things in life never come for free, and it doesn’t seem Anton is done paying his dues.

A truly enjoyable book, Demon You Love will have you laughing, in suspense, and may even bring you to tears. With a little bit for everyone, this book is a must read for all lovers of romance.

Such a beautiful and amazing story! I absolutely love this book! L.A Fiore never fails to bring me loads of emotions in her books and she did just that in this book! It was beautiful. The Feels!

L.A. Fiore has this innate ability to suck you into her books right from the start and just doesn’t let go; not that you would ever want to, not till the end. I experienced this with Devil You Know (Read My Review) and the experience has only expounded with Demon You Love.

With Demon You Love, L.A. Fiore has created one of the most brilliant, awe inspiring heroes I have ever had the pleasure of falling for – Anton Scalene is a man with one of the roughest starts – born and abandoned in alley and at the mercy of the worst human beings – he was considered an object, a possession; he didn’t even have a name. But he had the will to live, a will to survive and a fire for vengeance. He was patient, bided his time and made himself into the man no one ever crossed – he was strong, resilient; but better than most, he was powerful. He scrimped and saved and made himself a family he was proud to be a part of; yet he was still alone. His loneliness never bothered him, until he saw how happy his best friend was with his little family.

Still he wasn’t actively doing anything to counter his loneliness… until he met Piper.

“My demons molded me; her innocence molded her.”

Piper is a woman with dreams. No matter what obstacles life threw in her way; she never forgot to dream. Young by age; wise by experience – she was everything Anton didn’t even know he was missing – warm, kind, thoughtful and compassionate; Piper had a light in her that attracted Anton to her right from the start.


For Piper, Anton seems like another dream – a strong, protective man; she is *definitely* attracted to, and seems to be the only one who can see beyond his scary, dominant exterior to the loving man underneath.

“It’s impossible because a demon has no business falling in love with an angel.”

This is the slow burn romance that I didn’t even know I needed in my life – and the fact that it is intermingled with suspense in a way that can be only be called perfection. I will not go into the detail about the plot because spoilers (you have no idea how hard it is for me to stop myself from spoiling the story for ya’ll!) – But if you love a brilliant anti – hero you can’t help but fall for and a woman who is his anti – thesis yet they somehow manage to shine – then Demon You Love is for you!

Don’t think. Just pick it up!

It started a little slow and dark but then we saw Anton and Piper interact....WOWZER!! There is no denying their sexual chemistry, their amazing hearts, or their need to fight for family. Neither of them had traditional childhoods or families but their love for those around them jumped off the page. The mystery continues from Book 1 but this story (for me) was more about Anton and Piper finding their other halves to balance the life they have.

This specific video review will be included in the July 2019 wrap-up.

5 fantastic stars!! This is going straight to my favorites list, like of all time!!

This is book two of the “Lost Boys” series and can be read as a stand alone.


This is Anton and Pipers love story and boy is it a good one. I think Anton has taken over as my number one book boyfriend. Omg he is delicious, caring, protective, super sexy, a little dark and twisted and just perfect! I didn’t realize what a package he was in the first book. This book did him justice!! And Piper is the perfect yin to his yang! She is a beauty, smart, can’t cook for shit, caring, loving, positive and just a great woman!! They make the PERFECT couple.

This book had so much going for it. I was obsessed. Like read right through it! It’s hard to find a book that makes me this way. I have read soooo many books and this one did it. It was sexy, fun, sad, dark, twisted, loving, and so fucking great!! I literally am in love with all of these characters!!

This is a must read!!

**I received this book as an ARC and in return gave my honest review**

Demon You Love is an absolute MUST READ!!! My emotions were all over the place, and the more I read this book the more I feel in love with Piper and Anton!

Demon You Love is the second book in the Lost Boys series by L.A. Fiore. It is a standalone, I would recommend reading Devil You Know (Book 1) before reading this book. Which I wish I would have known before reading this book but I still managed just fine.

I was immediately drawn into this story from the first page and I didn’t want to put the book down. I fell in love with Piper and Anton. They each had thier own pasts that led them to where they are today and I loved it so much!

I'm quickly becoming a huge fan of L.A. Fiore's work and I can't wait to see what comes next!

I’ve been anxiously waiting for Demon You Love (Lost Boys Book 2) and it was excellent! The storyline is all consuming with a great combination of suspense, angst and romance.

Life has not always been kind to Anton as he was abandoned as a baby and his childhood was simply awful. No person should have endured the things that he did however, his ability to rise up and make a better life for himself was amazing. He’s now a rich, successful business owner who is selfless, kind and helps others in need. Piper is the perfect soulmate for him. She’s an aspiring ballerina with a warm and tender heart who is also selfless in every way. Their attraction to each other was immediate and reading how their relationship developed was promising and hopeful. Piper is the light to Anton’s dark and the angel to his demon. They truly complete each other. And their connection and sexual chemistry is on point. Their sexy times are thigh clenchingly good and beyond explosive. I just couldn’t get enough of these two.

I’m really happy that Damian and Thea (from Devil You Know) made appearances and I can’t wait to get my hands on Cam’s Book. Demon You Love is a beautiful and touching romance that I highly recommend.

I loved this story! Piper is feisty, and naive and has the most beautiful heart she literally will do anything for her family. So for her to run into damaged Anton who's never known love or peace this story is beautiful. Anton is the imbodiment of don't judge a book by it's cover and he suprised me at everytime this story also brought back old characters you love like Damien and Thea.

I wish I could give this book more then 5 stars cause it was seriously that good!! I mean despite starting out a bit ugly especially for Anton, it turned out so beautifully. It sounds so weird saying that despite the title but it truly was. I mean I was so into this book that I didn't want it to end. Anton and Piper are just incredible. I mean they have each other's back and don't question a whole lot. When things get rough, they just remain strong and do what they got to do. Piper deals with a lot of crap in this book but it doesn't stop her from getting her dream. It was just amazing to see how much this group stuck by each other and got the job done. They were a family and the support was amazing. This is action packed, sexy and sweet all in the same book. I promise you their is sweet parts in this book. I truly loved this book and want more from these characters!!!

Captivating, suspenseful and passionate story.
Well written with intoxicating characters that share tremendous chemistry.
This is not your typical romance as it is darkish, twisted and full of surprises. This is a story about love and family.
The connection between Anton and Piper’s is exciting, well paced and deeply moving. They’re perfectly matched but you’ll have to read and discover how and why!
Although it’s book 2 in the Lost Boys series and it can be read as a standalone, reading book 1 offers insight and history into the story. My only drawback about this read is that there were so many characters it was hard for me to keep up with all of them.

Wow!! The depravity that crawled from the first pages of this story blew me away. It was more than I was expecting right off the bat. LA Fiore sure knew how to grab my attention from the start. Demon You Love is beautifully sweet with just that hint of darkness. After all you can’t appreciate the light without the dark.

Despite growing up in the in the murky bowels of hell, Anton has a kindness and a giving nature that you would not expect. Don’t make the mistake that if called upon, that malevolent darkness would be brought to the forefront in a flash. Considering all this, it did not define the type of man he is.

Piper is light and goodness. Her personal situation is not what should be for a young woman, but she always makes the best of her situation. When Anton and her come across each other in more than one encounter, things start to happen and his generosity and kindness shine through.

~She pulled me from the shadows, took my hand and walked with me into the light.~

4* What If Stars!!

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.

Anton Scalene was born and raised in a nightmare. He was fifteen when he killed for the first time. As a child his dreams were about climbing out of his past and bein on top of the pile of bodies and not one of them. He lives in the shadow, finds solace in the darkness. Until her. A chance meeting, a fleeting moment. Her innocence beguiles him. He wants her but to have her would destroy the very par of her he craves. And even knowing that, he can't stay away, until his past threatens to drag her into his nightmare. Letting her go is the hardest thing he has ever done, but a demon has no business falling in love with an angel.

Oh my gosh. When you sit down with this book, you better be prepared to be there for a while. I am so in love with Piper and Anton. This poor guy has a past that is a living nightmare but he has escaped it. Once he goes to a diner and eats the best pie of his life and meets a rambling waitress he is done for. It just takes him a while to realize it. He still has his mind on the girl he accidently saw dancing. But she is one and the same. He shouldn't want her. His life has to much danger in it but he just can't help him. Between his love of seeing Piper dance and how he is with her I found this book so romantic. Piper really sees Anton for the man that he is. I so went into this book basically blind and I am so glad that I did. I loved every second and L.A. Fiore has written a book that is dark and dangerous with equally great parts romance and some seriously romantic moments. Do not miss this book.

Oh my... L.A. Fiore has created such a beautiful love story that I feel like crying over its wonderfulness. Anton caught my attention already in the first part of the Lost Boys series and I couldn’t wait for his story. I knew he was a complicated character whose past hides many secrets but what I found out in Demon You Love exceeded all my expectations! And I'm delighted. LA. creates perfect heroes with a dark past who for the right woman become ideal partners. And Anton... I love this guy with all my heart.


From the moment of birth Anton Scalene lived in the dark. Found in an abandoned alley, he was dragged into a complete hell, where he remained until the age of 15. When he finally got free, he fought for his safety and the place in the world until he became a successful businessman. However, the darkness never left him for long. Until he met Piper.

Piper didn’t have an easy life either. The whole world collapsed on her shoulders after her father died and the girl had to give up her dreams to help her late father’s wife and her half-sister. In the constant feeling of being unloved, only ballet brings her relief. Until she meets the mysterious Anton, who comes like a prince on a white horse and helps her to stand on her feet.

She lights up his dark world. He gives her a sense of security and feeling of being loved. Despite the differences that divide them, Anton and Piper are perfect for each other. The sexual tension between the two is indescribable and the feelings that grow between them can melt even the heart of steel. For the story not being too sweet, the author decided to put in the plot a twist that threatened the happiness of the main couple after which the doubts crept in. But fortunately these were not obstacles that couldn’t be overcome.


Demon You Love was an amazing read that awoke in me many different emotions. The story described in this book was completely heartwarming, although the plot can be classified as one of those on the darker side. The main characters are perfectly created - Piper is the perfect material for the best friend and Anton... I want him for myself. I love this man. Demon You Love is another book in L.A. Fiore’s achievements, what I classify as MUST READ.

Captivating and suspenseful, this can be read as a standalone (which I did) and I really loved this intense and meaningful romance.
4.5 Stars

Devil You Know, the first book in the Lost Boys series, by L.A. Fiore is one of my top favorite reads from her so I was very excited to get my hands on the second book of the series, Demon You Love. I absolutely loved the characters in this story so much and just completely lost myself in their story.

Anton Scalene will captivate you and break your heart. His background was so heartbreaking. He was abandoned after his birth and he fought every day of his life to come out of the hell he was living. He has done things he can never change. Piper was a good person with a big heart and all she wanted was to follow her dreams. But things never work out as planned. When they meet, their world is about to be rocked.

Demon You Love by L..A. Fiore was an emotional and twisted ride and I loved every second of it. Anton and Piper’s story was all-consuming from start to finish. I loved their chemistry and connection so much. Anton was strong, determined and a total alpha. He could be scary, but also very caring for those he cared about. I loved this book and though it can be read as a standalone, you get more of the story if you read it in order.

Happy reading!

A story that will grab your heart and twist it until the very end! In this story you will read about things that happen everyday in real life. Stories that can intertwine reality with fiction are the ones worth reading! Although it will threaten to rip your heart out, you will still fall in love with Piper and Anton.

Piper is an all around good soul. She is hardworking, trustworthy, and puts everyone before her. She thinks nothing of struggling to take care of everyone around her and putting their needs before her own. Anton is a very successful man that has had a hard life but clawed his way to the top. He will let nothing get in his way to save kids from the same path he was forced down.


Together they can help each other find the light and the darkness in everything. With many twists and turns this book will keep you on your toes and leave you yearning for more!

Demon You Love is the second book in the Lost Boys series and I am sure you waited excitedly as me for this one! After two years, we finally have the story of Anton, our loveable sidekick from book one! Anton has grown into a quiet, calculated man who is ready to fall in love and his soulmate is the lightness to his darkness!!!

Anton has been fighting for his life since he was a baby but now he is almost at the end of his journey of revenge. He has done many bad things so he thinks he doesn’t deserve a happily ever after but there is a ballerina ready to give him a chance.

Piper is a stubborn girl who has put her life on hold for a family who doesn’t care about her. She is preparing to make her dream come true as a ballet dancer but she soon finds out that it’s better to share her happiness with a man who loves her.

Anton is a caring man who loves deeply and protects his loved ones with fierceness. Although, he has done some devil things, you justify him because of the pain and the hurt he has endured. He is smart, logical and I adore that he is not closed off. He gives a home to those who don’t have one and he has his heart open for those who deserve his love.

Piper is a fighter. She doesn’t give up and that’s something I admire. She is kind to those who don’t deserve her generosity, although sometimes you see her young age and her frustration.

Their relationship is sweet and hot! They both come from a lonely world without parents but along with their friends, they make a new, content family.

There is also suspense besides romance and I am curious to see if the series will continue with Cam’s story, one of Anton’s friends.

Can a devil fall in love with an angel? He definitely can and this book is the perfect example of that!

Demon You Love is a story that I assumed would be your typical romantic suspense/revenge story when I first started reading it. Those are two things that may still be used to describe it, but what I got was so much more than that. L. A. Fiore's writing is phenomenal, and she crafted a story that was much more complex than my initial assumption. It's about following your dreams, overcoming your past, the importance of letting love into your life, and maybe more than anything, family.

Anton and Piper are both relatable characters that will undoubtedly steal your heart within the first few pages. They were dealt a shitty hand in life, but what they do with it is nothing short of impressive. Some may have given up, but that's just not in them. These characters are broken but strong. They not only fight for themselves but for the people they love. Anton and Piper didn't just make the best out of what they were given, they obliterated their own expectations, achieved things that they never thought possible, and helped others to do the same.

The romance in this book is refreshing in more ways than one. There were no stupid arguments over miscommunications, because they *shocker lol* actually talked things out.  They listened to each other's opinions and took one another's concerns seriously without throwing their pride into the mix. Anton and Piper are both strong individuals that aren't afraid to be vulnerable in front of each other. They never worry that opening up will make them appear weak. The respect and love they have for one another is evident throughout the story, and because of that, there is no unnecessary drama. I can't tell you how great it was to read about a couple that wasn't constantly getting in their own way.

Demon You Love is my first read by L. A. Fiore, but it's the second book in the Lost Boys series. You can certainly read this book without reading the first one, but I would advise against it. I obviously enjoyed the story, but I can't help but think I would have loved it even more if I knew more about the history of all of the characters. Either way, definitely give this book a try if it peaks your interest. It's a well written, sexy romance with complex characters that will surprise you with their strength, vulnerability, and rationale.

Romantic suspense fans and romance readers that need a break from angst, this one's for you!

Anton and Piper one amazing story. The darkness needs some light. Anton’s past and present is dark and revenge is on his mind constantly until Piper. Piper has had loss and ever since then she basically takes care of everything. But now Piper wants to follow her dreams. But what if the man with pale blue eyes becomes her dream too? Drama, intense, deep, beautiful and loving describe this book. Read straight through! Oh and the author even has surprises for us that made me squeal. 5/5 “What if?” Stars

Demon You Love by L.A. Fiore is book 2 in the Lost Boys Series. This is Anton and Piper's story.
This is an emotional , gritty, raw and angsty read that will capture your heart and soul. Anton has been fighting for his life since the very day he was born. Now he's at a point in his life where he in control and thinks he is pursing what he wants or thought he did want. Instead it take one look at Piper that brings this bad boy to his knees. Piper is sweet, kind, beautiful and oh so innocent. Anton lives life on the edge, in danger while Piper lives life in the safe and protected...when these two meet, its instant connection and chemistry. There's this push/pull. Their journey towards their HEA is every romance reader's dream. This is one story that needs to be read for it's amazing!!!

My Rating: 4.8 stars ******
