Muriel is the devil's daughter, the daughter who is a constant embarrassment and despite her father, Lucifer's, constant pushing to be bad, she just isn't bad enough. Muriel lives on the human plain as owner of Nexus bar which is a haven to others like her, most have no clue as to who she really is though. There is also something very special about Muriel, she still is a virgin and holding out for love.
When Auric walks into her bar, she feels that he maybe the one she has been waiting for. Auric however is evasive about who he is and with hell in turmoil and trying to take down her father, Muriel is a target of the demons. Auric is by her side but once she figures out who he really is will she be able to keep him by her side?
Very fun. I wasn't sure how I would like this one, has been on my TBA for awhile. Loved her interaction with her dad, they had a humorous banter going on. Auric was mysterious, totally alpha and highly intriguing. Great read, look forward to reading more in this series.

So what all do you need to know about our girl Muriel
Well she owns a bar. has some boy trouble. and... oh yah, she's Lucifer's daughter
Muriel, the virgin daughter of Satan, has been saving herself for love with the perfect man while making her dad the literal laughingstock of hell. When suddenly...
“Speaking of lust, look what just walked in. Three hot and sexy hunks. A come-fuck-me vibe practically oozed from their skin. Seriously, if I could have bottled these guys, I would have made a fortune even greater than the creator of Viagra did.”
This book was hilarious!! I just adored the style and the humor. Then add in some seriously sexy scenes with one yummy hottie and I was eager to keep reading!
My favorite part about our heroine is that she has values and wants to be good -- but is willing to fight to be that. I was kinda worried we were gonna get a shy wallflower. But instead we got a bloodthirsty princess of hell that is just doing things her way
“I’m coming with you.” Auric moved to a cabinet against the wall.
When he opened it, I almost clapped my hands in glee, for my handsome suitor had almost as many cool toys as I did. Swords, knives, guns, and, yes, even a flamethrower. I could feel another piece of my heart swinging in his direction, and I had to stifle an urge to throw my arms around him and kiss him silly.”
As the first of the reverse harem, Auric was a great fit who really kinda establishes himself as someone for Muriel's to lean on. Where he is stoic and logical, she was coy and sassy.
Now I have to say it... I keep finding these goddamn reverse harems that aren't actually having more than one love interest
Bitch.
If you say this a reverse harem… then give me a goddamn reverse harem
In this book there was only one main love interest for our heroine. Sure it impliedddddd we getting more in the series. But you couldn’t even start us with two??
But with our ONE love interest, the book really kept the chemistry and intensity building both in the casual flirting and fight scenes. i love love sexy banter both in and outta the bed, which made the climax of the book even better
“He wore the same leather duster of the previous evening, and, once again, I enviously admired it. Unable to resist, I reached out a hand and stroked its supple surface, feeling a thrill that my hand strayed so close to his actual body. “It’s so soft,” I murmured.
“Not for long, if you keep stroking it,” he drawled.”
We have some interesting secondary characters from anxious dad, Lucifer, the teasing incubus sister, Bambi. But sadly we didn't really engage much with, so I'm guessing they gonna be some recurring info-dumping type characters who will pop up as needed
“For the world’s biggest slut, Bambi was an awesome big sister. And no, that wasn’t an insult; Bambi took pride in winning the title year after year.”
If you’re looking for something fun -- urban fantasy reader erotic romance -- that has great sexual heat, give this short, unique story a try! It's a quick read that keeps you engaged the entire time!!

I love the writing style, the humour and the characters have so much life and strength. They grow as the book develops leaving me always wanting more. Yet i never thought i would say this. Too much sex. It just seems a little hung up on the urges of sex. Can disrupt the flow a little, still i enjoyed it.

Good start and finish, but the middle was a bit slow and boring. The romance was pretty sub-par. Overall, I enjoyed it and plan to read the next in the series.

Yikes, what a garbage book.
I will admit that I am not the intended audience for this story, which (if I had to guess) is meant for middle-aged straight cis women. The book is covered in casual instances of sexism and heteronormativity, from a big ol' manly man constantly telling the main character what to do, sometimes with "woman" added at the end (because that's hot???) to said main character preaching about being a virgin and holding out for true love,even to the point of not inserting her vibrator into her vagina..... AND YET WHEN THE LOVE INTEREST GOES DOWN ON HER AND FINGERS THE FUCK OUT OF HER, THAT WASN'T SEX AT ALL????? I honestly questioned if the author ever had sex, which is completely fine either way, but mentions of this guy's dick slamming into her cervix AS PLEASURABLE made me want to vomit.
Combined with the rushed pacing, inconsistent characterization, questionable plot, and vague as hell worldbuilding, this was legitimately awful. But I guess I shouldn't expect much thought in a story where a supposedly 23-year-old girl talks more like a lonely housewife and calls her boobs "beamers" and sex "the horizontal mambo" along with dressing like the Google image search result of "sexy school girl costume".
Please do yourself a solid and don't read this book. If you want to read filthy sex, go find some PWP smut on AO3. Trust me - it's better.

Content Warnings
Graphic: Sexual content and Violence
Moderate: Misogyny, Sexism, and Transphobia
Minor: Body shaming and Transphobia
This book is VERY heavy with heteronormative ideas, from putting PIV sex above all other forms of intimacy to rigid male-female gender roles to "well he's being a guy, so of course he did X, Y, and Z."lauriereadslohf's review against another edition

Muriel, virgin daughter of Satan, has been saving herself for love with the perfect man while making her dad the laughingstock of hell. His incessant nagging gets on her nerves but it’s not easy finding the right guy. He can’t be 100% mortal or she’d likely crush him in the heat of the heat of the moment, he has to be super-hot and honestly not any old guy will accept Satan as a future father-in-law. She resigns herself to a future of longing and nagging . . .
Muriel no longer lives in hell under Satan’s thumb but in a realm populated by humans and supernaturals that is very much like the mortal realm only with things like the “Damned” network and Survivor: Burn In Hell. Sounds like a fun place to me! She owns a bar that is popular with the supernatural beasties because she is a “null” which makes the 100’ surrounding her a magic-free zone. One night, soon after another nagging visit from Satan, a hunk named Auric and his two gorgeous pals show up. She assumes Satan is testing her. But instead of wooing her, Auric is almost gruff as he demands to meet the owner of the bar. She refuses to answer him honestly, hell she’s been dodging assassins most of her life, but something about him fuels her lust as no other man has done. He’s hiding things as well but their connection is something neither can resist for long and once he kisses her he may just lose her virginity after all.
Though this story doesn’t hold any major surprises, especially when Auric’s secret is revealed, it was cute and pure sexy fun and so very easy to read. Muriel is funny and sarcastic and even though a virgin by choice, is not a prude. She can take care of herself but Auric, big He-man protector hasn’t a clue and assumes she’s a helpless little female. When he attempts to “save” her from a hellhound, not knowing she’s a daughter of Satan this fun exchange happens:
This story wraps everything up in a satisfying way but it could have been another 300 pages and I bet I would’ve enjoyed reading more because I loved the writing style so much. There aren’t a lot of writers I’ve found who can balance such strong sexual tension with a fun paranormal plot without their characters coming across as obnoxious or silly. This author succeeds for me and if these snippets make you grin you may want to check it out too.
Satan is hilarious as a frustrated daddy.
And Muriel’s sense of humor just completely won me over

My heart fluttered. He’d called me pretty. He’d wanted to protect me. How cute–but so unnecessary.
“I appreciate the thought behind it, but really, I can take care of myself.”
“Even against hellhounds?” he said skeptically.
“Piece of cake,” I boasted. That wasn’t, technically, giving anything away. Lots of special folk could take care of hellhounds.
“Just who and what are you?” asked Auric.
His questions were getting repetitive. I rolled my eyes. “I told you, my name is Muriel.”
Auric crossed his arms over his chest–did I mention he had a really broad chest?–and gave me a stern look. Oh, please, once Satan gave you ‘the look,’ all other looks paled in comparison. I just glared right back at him ‘til he sighed with exasperation–another sound I was familiar with.

"I don’t know why, but I’m attached to you, too,” Satan said grumpily, hugging me back. I cherished moments like that; they tended to be few and far between. “Try to be bad,” he said, before popping out of sight.”
And Muriel’s sense of humor just completely won me over
“Rolling my eyes, I again had to question why men had to be so stubborn. “Seriously, Auric, you do not want to mess with this thing.”
“I’ve dealt with demons before,” he said, pulling out a sword from behind his kitchen counter. I had to admit being impressed–his sword was long, shiny, and hard. Wait, that didn’t sound right. Needless to say, he had a big one; and judging by the way he moved it, he also knew how to use it. Damn, I was even hornier than before. But right after I finished admiring his sword, I clued in to what he’d said.
“What do you mean, you’ve dealt with demons before?”

Muriel is a goody two shoes for the most part, and it drives her father insane. Especially the fact that she's still a virgin. Who is Muriel's dad, oh it's only Lucifer, AKA Satan. While working at her bar one night, a super hot dude comes in and makes Muriel's panties melt (She actually says that). Could it be true love? Will Muriel finally give up her virginity?
I liked the supernatural aspect of this story: the demon fighting, the coup in Hades, and seeing Muriel take down some bad guys was good fun. I wasn't super sold on the romance though. While I did like Aric and I liked his relationship with Muriel, it felt like it moved a bit too fast. There wasn't enough tension or slow burn for me. The fixation on Muriel giving up her virginity was quite annoying as well. Aric also did a bit too much of the macho bullshit and when he kept telling Muriel he was going to protect her or she wasn't to get involved in things because they were dangerous, I rolled my eyes so DAMN hard.
I read this because I asked my friend, Felicia, to find us a Reverse Harem to read. Sad to say that there actually wasn't a reverse harem in this. I think there might be hope for one in the second book, but idk if I'll continue this to see if it happens.
