Damien, Forever: A Friends-to-Lovers Romance (Art of Sinners) Kindle Edition

4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 74 ratings
4.1 on Goodreads
242 ratings

An angsty, friends-to-lovers, second-chance romance with a touch of triangle, a dash of new adult, and a twist of rockstar.

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

    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.

    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.

    This story plays the saddest notes: those of rejection, shame, separation, mental illness, fear, and prejudice. It also ascends to the highest crescendo of loyalty, self-sacrifice, and love, the forever kind. Neither of these characters were close to perfect and they hurt each other and others along their journey, but most of their bad decisions were understandable, though not commendable. The question I’m left with, is about settling and soulmates and the existence of forever kinds of love. I guess what you believe about forever love and soulmates will temper how you feel about this book. I, for one, believe.

    I fell in love easily with both MCs in this story. They were so realistic and raw in their characters which I so rarely find this is in books today. Their struggles, their pain, all of it was beautifully depicted on every page as Damien and Bella fought for each other and their star-crossed love. This book goes deep into the 💙, dark into the mind, and is a beautiful mess of love in its purest form. Get it, you won’t regret it.

    This was the emotional, angsty read I craved! Every once in a while I just need a book that’s going to tear me apart—in the best way—and put me back together again. This was that book. It puts you through a myriad of emotions and even throws in some curveballs as you follow along Damien and Bella’s relationship.
    Now I just have to be patient and wait for Book 2.

    Where do I even start with Damien, Forever? It was beautiful, and I was suckered in from the first page. Tempest did a wonderful job of weaving the story, and I felt connected to all of the characters, although have to be honest, Lucas has my heart. Dame and Bella had a beautiful, tragic, heart-felt story that will grip your heart even after you put it down.

    Are you ready to read the best book of the year? I believe that Tempest is a new author and if that is so this is an incredible debut novel. Right from the beginning her writing transports you to the childhood of Bella and Damien and keeps you in their lives right to the end of the story. Your heart will be broken with Damien's suffering, but the connection and love he shares with Bella makes you hopeful for a better future for him.

    Being together was never going to be easy for them, Bella has her future mapped out for her by her wealthy father. Damien's life has left him full of hurt, pain, anger and the belief that he will never amount to anything. He has nothing but his music and his best friend Bella whose love he feels he does not deserve.

    Tempest weaves the threads of their lives seamlessly into a mesmerising story that is impossible to put down. It is beautiful and intense with characters that will both break your heart and frustrate you. Their passion is off the charts but the stars refuse to align for their HEA and they make wrong decisions for what they believe is the right reasons hurting themselves and others over and over.

    I am so lucky that I got to read an advanced copy of this book and witness Bella and Damien's journey. I hope that lovers of angsty, and passionate friends to lovers stories will pick it up and read it too. it is really that good. Congratulations to Tempest for such a phenomenal debut novel and I can't wait to read more from you in the future.

    I don't even know where to begin... Damien James Mortensen stole my heart from page 1. Halfway through chapter 1, I knew I wouldn't make it out of this novel tear-free, and boy was I right... I have a soft spot for the damaged bad boys, and the more ink and piercings, the better - both of which he had in spades.

    Tempest Phan sent me on a rollercoaster ride of emotions - the good, the bad, and the ugly. Just when things start looking up, everything comes crashing down again to start at square one.

    There is so much more to my boy of whispers, all of it carefully layered and hidden from the world. - Mirabella Davenport

    Soft spoken, dark, and brooding, Damien is every girl's secret fantasy and every dad's worst nightmare. With demons that I could never even begin to fathom coupled with a heart of gold, paired with Bella's kind soul and the patience of a saint, they are a force to be reckoned with.

    She deserved so much better than a boy from the wrong side of the tracks. She deserved caviar and champagne and luxurious getaways. Not a run-down shack and nights filled with nightmares and demons. - Damien Mortensen

    This slow burn friends to lovers masterpiece put me through the wringer, and easily soared to my top 5 of 2020 - a book I will happily read again and again.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Devastatingly beautiful tragic love story
    Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2021

    angsty 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 🖤🖤

    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.

    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

    “...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 !
