A delightfully pleasant, quick read that mixes in politics/world lore seemlessly into tantalizing sex scenes and a surpising amount of heartwarmingness as Sol and Briar explore their new union and it helps Briar to heal and rediscover herself.

Hm…I don’t know what happened but I did not like this book.
For context: I have been reading this series out of order—I started The Succubus’ Prize (book 4) and The Kraken’s Sacrifice (book 2).
I hate that I’m comparing the two other books I’ve read in the series because this was the book that started this series…but it was such a let down.
Yes, these books are erotica but from the other two I read they did a good job of balancing that aspect with balancing themes of rejection, grief, religious tramua, etc.
But this book didn’t do that and I think that’s what left me disappointed. And try as I might, I could not find Sol and Briar Rose’s relationship compelling and despite being rather short this book felt like it dragged on and on. I tried to give this one a fighting chance like the others but unfortunately I couldn’t and skimmed through the rest of my reading.

Solid read it was quick and fast-paced. The author has several in the series, so there is a little world building that's a little bumpy but sets up an interesting series, I bet.
I always imagine with dragons it would be a twist on the damsel in the castle, this was comfortably more beauty & the beast! It was done pretty well, and the dragon character was sweet, actually. Refreshing takes on patience and understanding after our main character gets out of a physically abusive relationship and rebuilding herself. I really like the take of signing the demon contract but they are actually really good and set it up well enough - the triggering thing for me is when the dragon took off her birth control amulet in the heat of the moment and those demons swooped right in to save the day (imo - they eneded up being the conflict so booo. I thought this was great that they were looking out for her this way) and yeah, this was his fault. She tries to play it off as hers, but that's bs.
Anyway, if you have tokophobia, there is stuff in here that is awful to make your way through. I didn't know what this book was about, but I've learned my lesson to read up on stuff in this particular book genre.

Love these A Deal With A Demon novels. A quick, fun read at about 180 pages, and very spicy! Only complaint is that there were several grammatical and spelling mistakes that kind of take you out of the story, but it’s not too bad!

Read the content notes on author’s website! The domestic abuse is briefly mentioned, off-page. They don’t go into much detail about it. The murder is off-page as well, barely mentioned.p0ndscum's review against another edition
