Damien, Forever: A Friends-to-Lovers Romance (Art of Sinners) Kindle Edition
Damien
She's everyone's favorite princess. Gorgeous girl next door. Homecoming queen. But to me, she'll always be so much more. The light in my dark, my best friend, my everything. But there's one thing she can't ever be. And that's mine. Because I'll make damn sure to keep my filthy hands off her. Even if it kills me.
Bella
He's the boy of broken whispers. The one dripping ink. The one sowing fear. But to me, he'll always be so much more. The music in my soul, my best friend, my everything. And pretty soon, he'll be between my sheets, too. Because what baby girl wants, she gets. Just watch.
The ART OF SINNERS Series... An exquisite fall from grace.
Dear Reader: Damien, Forever is the book of my heart, and I hope you enjoy the slow burn. While it isn't a dark romance, this friends-to-lovers, second-chance romance contains quite a bit of angst, in addition to material that could elicit a strong emotional response in some readers. If that's not your jam, Dame and Bella's story might not be for you. If it is, welcome to the tribe!
Kisses + Bites,
Tempest

About the author

Tempest Phan loves ink, words, leather pants, K-pop, and (scr)e(a)mo (#SorryNotSorry). She's married to her own tattooed lawyer, and when she's not running after their littles and pups, she spends her time snuggling with book boyfriends and writing about broken heroes and indomitable heroines. (By the way, she’s never met a bar of dark chocolate that she hasn’t fallen head-over-Loubs for).

- Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2021angsty friends-to-lovers plus second chance that will break your heart (a lot!) before putting it back together for MF HEA with bittersweet aftertaste 🖤 this is standalone for Bella and Damien's story, though there are more stories planned for the "Art of Sinners" series 🖤
"My heart ached at the exquisite tragedy of it all."
This quote pretty much sums up my review. I was completely transfixed by Bella and Damien 🖤🖤 The writing is exquisite and often poetic. The characters are incredibly rich, complex, layered, imperfect - and I felt EVERYTHING along their journey. They have that all-consuming, soul-deep love; they are each other's biggest supporters and protectors. But life, difficult circumstances, and drastically different socicioeconomic status place many obstacles and hard choices in their path. Their story is told in Dual-POV over about a ten year period, starting from age 17.
One of the things I love about second chance romance is that it acknowledges that even 'written in the stars fated love' does not mean that each person is where and who they need to be for a relationship with the other and lets the reader follow the characters' growth, including all the stumbles along the way. One of my favorite things about this story is that it is second chance on a few different levels -- there's the second chance romance for Bella and Damien; there's second chance pivotal life moments for a few characters; there's second chance repairing relationships with others.
This is so much more than a tragic love story ... It touches on grief, mental health, self worth, addiction, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of the rock star's rise to fame. Every moment is written with an emotional depth and intensity that makes reading this story an incredible experience.
"I’m yours, my Damien James. Always. Only. Yours." 🌸🖤
Tempest has bled her heart and soul into every single page of this incredible debut novel -- seriously one-click this one and grab some tissues for the emotional journey 😭😭 - it's soooo good! I'm both ready to re-read and ready for her next release 🖤🖤
- Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2022As soon as I stumbled across this book while on social media, I immediately started looking forward to it! I picked it up and got right into the Art of Sinners world! I enjoyed this first book!
Damien and Bella's journey grabbed my attention quickly! Sometimes your feelings for someone can change everything, something both Damien and Bella know. I couldn't wait to see how it'd all play out for these two!
I didn't know what all to expect in this story which I liked. I felt many things with both Damien and Bella throughout.
With Damien, Forever, Ms.Phan has created such a good read! I'm looking forward to reading book two in this world, Lukas, Sometimes!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2021I have only read one other book that is poetic and heartbreaking and beautiful as this one out of the thousands I have read in my life. My heart was shatter and left bleeding crying out with the pain of this beautiful, beautiful boy that didn't believe he deserved the love of the sweetest, most genteel girl. But he did deserve her love. And she loved him in spite of his demons.
Damien works hard to push the girl away. His past, his present, his insecurities and doubts always filling his mind. It never once made his affection waver. The intense love he felt for Bella only grew more and more profound and the darkness in his heart grew every second, minute, and hour he continued to push her away. Sweet, sweet boy turn man couldn't stop loving her. He wanted her to have everything. Happiness and love above all, but he just couldn't understand - he was her happiness.
Bella so completely, irrevocably in love with the broken boy that was scared to let her see his darkness. The darkness she always saw and made her love him more. She never let go. She never gave up. In its own time. She would always belong to him.
This book brings every feeling imaginable. Heartbreak, laughter, angst, and joy. Above all you can feel the love. Phan does a job that only a select few are gifted with - the finely woven words she turns a romance novel into a sonnet of love. Her way of bringing forth so much emotion is rare but to make you feel like you are the characters, more so. Beautifully, wonderfully done. This book deserves so much more than five stars, but alas, that is the only option. I look forward to reading more from Ms. Phan and hope she continues to weave us beauty.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2020This book is worth all of the stars in the night sky. Tempest has written such a story,honestly, I am finding it hard to believe this is her debut. I found myself wrapped up in Bella and Damien’s tale to the point I couldn’t put it down. I could feel both characters pain, frustration, longing and love for one another - my heart literally ached and I had to grab tissues more than once. Bella is such a memorable heroine in this book she loves unconditionally, is so patient and kind. Damien is the broken soul - harboring so much guilt, pain and the weight of the world but loves fiercely. This book is not just a story, it’s a journey of a pair of soulmates that found their way back to one another. I applaud Tempest for writing a story with two characters that will be sticking with me from here on out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow totally blown away
This book was such an incredible read. It was one of the hardest books to read in the fact that my emotions were so strong. I immediately fell in love with all the characters and wanted a happy ending. I just want to scream, this book was absolutely fantastic and I will definitely be reading the next one. This book definitely toys with your emotions and meets all your wants and needs from a book. I am a bit speeches and don't know exactly what to write because I don't want to provide any Spoilers. This is a MUST read.
- shaeReviewed in Germany on January 5, 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars Damien Forever
A beautiful teen romance at the start, sweet romantic scenes, making my heart melt over and over, so full of love and desire, but turning into endless pain, darkness and the torture of both their souls.
Damien's tortured heart shredded into pieces continuously, so full of self-doubt, believing the lie that he is not worthy of Bella, the one and only love of his life.....
Damien, haunted by nightmares and unresolved rejection, combined with accusations of false guilt, forced on him daily by his sick mum, reaching far back into his childhood, when Bella had already been his best friend, his comforter, his reason for living.
Every page is so full of emotions, feelings, heartbreaking pain, making me feel breathless and starting to feel Damien and Bella's pain in my own heart, wanting to reach out to them and cover them with my prayers for everything turning out o.k.
And it does at the end. But not without leaving another broken heart behind. Lukas. His story soon to come in another book by Tempest Phan, I am already looking forward to it!!!
"Damien Forever" has touched my heart deeply.
I could feel the strong passion of Tempest Phan's writing, dripping onto every page, like the falling tears of a rockstar's cherry blossom, tattooed in black and grey ink with a touch of pale pink, covering his tortured heart, letting the power of strengh and beauty slowly sinking into it's veins.
Clearly five stars,
kisses and bites for tempestphan's Damien forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning debut
Dear Tempest,
Do you know which agency you should be reported to for theft? Serious question. I did not give you permission to steal a bit of my soul with your novel. How very dare you.
Unfortunately, the sheer quantity of tears shed over this angsty debut of yours cannot be blamed on an overly hormonal PMS. Since it can't be blamed on that, then it must, therefore, be placed on you.
Damien, Forever is extremely well written. It is beautiful and gut-wrenching and heartbreaking and stunning. That this is a debut novel is simply...unimaginable. I've never read anything quite like it, and I will be sure to read everything else she writes.
For those that have an issue with this sort of thing, I will add a warning ⚠️ There is a love triangle and 1 sharing scene.
Tempest, we really do need to discuss the return of my soul, at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
Michaella

5.0 out of 5 stars Can’t believe this is a debut novel !
“...Stop trying to hold my heart while you also break it. If you’re going to break it, just f***ing break it.”
Trust me when I say nothing will prepare you for the angst filled heartbreaking journey that is Damien and Bella’s love story.
Damien, Forever is a angsty new adult slow burn, friends to lovers, second chance romance, rockstar romance that you will not be able to put down.
From the very beginning this book completely consumed me and it had everything I look for in a book. It had heartbreak, angst, sexual tension, swoon worthy moments and so many emotions.
I loved how raw and relatable the MCs were, how they developed throughout the book and how easily I fell in love with the supporting characters.
I honestly couldn’t believe that this was Tempest’s debut novel and I cannot wait for to see what she has in store for us next !

4.0 out of 5 stars My Damien James & His Bella!
Damien, Forever is Tempest Phan debut novel, and I think she did a marvelous job. It was a childhood friends to lovers, full of anguish, rockstar, and it's over a period of time. The characters Damien, and Mirabella were likeable, and so relatable. They were so in love! My Damien James, has many demons to overcome before he can be the man he wants to be for Bella. I liked the supporting characters as well, especially Lukas. (His story is next) I was drawn into this story from the start, it was slow burning journey, full of emotions, and I was cheering for them to get their happily ever after. Looking forward to reading many more stories from this author.
