Not a huge fan of the writing style in this but the smut made up for that.

4.5 - ''My Funny Demon Valentine' - ARC
'My Funny Demon Valentine' is book #1 in the Hell Bent Series. I loved the prequel, 'My Demon Romance', and was really looking forward to reading 'My Funny Demon Valentine'. Aurora Ascher did not disappoint! I loved the characters, humor and heart so much.
'The Beginning Of A Bad Joke...
Asmodeus, Belial, Mephistopeles and Raum walk into a smoky nightclub...'
'Asmodeus, Prince of Hell, just wants to play music. Jazz, specifically.' Ash and his friends have a plan. They have evolved and grown making it possible for a new way of life away from the torment, but only if they avoid and outrun The Hunter, Hell's best Tracker. Plan executed and a night out on the town has Ash is in for a surprise. Ash was cursed to see everything in b/w, senses dulled and to register as unattractive, boring and dull to any potential partners. They look 'at him like a piece of old drywall', but...
'Evangeline Gregory is just your average human. She works at a jazz bar, plays gigs on weekends… And, apparently, hallucinates demons.' Eva is a beautiful, talented woman with an incredible spirit, heart and a love and talent for music that touches Ash. Ash and Eva connect through their music and passion and it is beautiful.
I loved Ash and Eva as individuals, but even more together they are sweet and sexy. I loved the side characters, especially Eva's mother. I can't wait to read more from Aurora Ascher and see the rest of the gang find redemption, happiness and love.

very fun and entertaining read! quite insta-lovey, but I feel that it had a good rhythm and opened up the world quite well for the next books. i swear if i don’t get a book about Belial I will be devastated

Loved this! Love the banter between the demon brothers made me lol out loud! A lot of explicit spice scenes (i’m new to this genre).
Great story and world building.
Booktok would love this!

Whyyyy do I continue to fall for the non-human men? Oh demons are the best, especially when it’s a lust demon! Did I forget to mention the wings? *drools*
Anywho this was a great read to start off the month of love! It has an amazing story, magic, sexy demons, angels, and I couldn’t put it down!
It’s fast paced with great details throughout to keep the story entertaining and it’ll keep you in your toes.
I immediately downloaded book 2!

So freaking adorable
Asmodeus is a demon that has escaped hell and has lived 3000 years under a curse where most of his senses are muted and anyone who would be attracted to him isn’t. Eva is a musician who notices Ash watching her play a set and surprises him by being interested. Chaos of the demon variety ensues.
I’m a sucker for the “learning what love is” and the villain redemption tropes. Ash was so sweet I got a toothache. Eva was the perfect foil for him; a woman that was in tune with her emotions and mentally strong enough to deal with the shit he brought with him.
Spice: 5/5
Triggers: kidnapping, violence/gore

Initially, I loved this book because the MMC reminds me a bit of InuYasha. However, it's not very well written and the third act twist really turned the FMC into a Mary Sue for me. Additionally, it was a little spicy, even for my taste — more erotica than plot with a lot of sexposition to skip over. DNF at like 85/90%
