So, we got this ARC a little early, so by accident I already started before I read Iris. I however quickly noticed my error and put the book aside and ever since I've been looking forward to reading this book. And even though I was actually gonna wait patiently until tomorrow, I just had to pick up something light hearted and fun after the last couple of days I've had. If I have to send one more complaint message I'm gonna scream!
This book was however perfect to forget about all of that and it's mainly because of the true star in this story. Buttercup! Buttercup is the kind of character you instantly connect with because she's so much like most girls I know. And I don't mean that in a bad way. Not at all. She's a little insecure, a little clumsy, her self esteem is not that impressive and she has some trouble letting the past go, even if that past was bad for her. I think that every girl and every woman at some level can recognize that. And I guess that we therefore will all root for her.
What I also really loved is that the harem seemed to grow and form kinda organically. A lot of times with the mating bond kicking in the connection between personalities gets forgotten, but that's not the case here. I had the feeling that every scene was building that connection. The characters were bonding, were having conversations, were being honest with each other and were pouring their hearts out and talking about feelings.
And even though there wasn't some action packed plot slowly moving me to the edge of my seat, each and every character had their own smaller subplot. Buttercup was slowly figuring out who she was and most of all what she was, but all of her guys each had their own struggles and lessons to learn too. And because of all the different point of views I really had the impression we were really witnessing that growth.
At least, by the end of the story, I had a smile on my face again and forgot about all the stuff I had to fix today. Well. Almost.

Cute & yummy
I loved Buttercup - not only is she adorable but she is a baker. All of her treats sounded so good but the sweetest ones were her 4 guys! This was a great, sweet read.

A great read
I loved Buttercup's story and her name as I'm a big Princess Bride fan, lol. I would have loved to have learned about her father's story, but it was still a fantastic read.

This read is part of a lose series, and can be read as a standalone. It's just full of lighthearted fun, something we all need. The different type of magical folks was pretty cool. Really just a happy easy read.

Buttercup was so good. This half Siren half succubus and her harem of men ranging from Vampire Logan, Demon Monk Magnus, Kelpie shifter Casper, and Sphinx shifter Ausar are hot and so adorable together

Talk about sweet treats!
Needing a little more social fun in her life, Buttercup goes on a girls night out, that brings a number of mates her way. Hot, hot fun adventures abound.

Buttercup is a siren. She moved to Silver Springs to start a new life. When she receives upsetting news about her ex boyfriend, she decides to have a night out with her girls at Vee, the town's only club (read Rose by Jewels Arthur to find out more about Vee). Logan, Vee's new bartender, is also a vampire and Buttercup can't quite explain her attraction to him. He seems interested in her too one moment and the next he is courting another girl. While dancing, she catches the eye of Magnus, a demon, and Casper, a kelpie. Both turn out to be her mates, and who knew that having sex with a demon will release your demon powers if you had any. It came as a surprise to Buttercup, now a half siren and a half demon. The next day, she meets her third mate Ausir, a sphinx. However she can't denied her attraction to Logan, anymore and cleared any misunderstanding, Buttercup now has 4 mates.
Buttercup was a nice read, although I felt like everything happened too fast: finding her mates one after the other, falling in love right away and accepting everything that came her way. However, I liked how we also see characters from the other books in the Spell Library series.
It's a fast-burn and standalone story.
I was kindly provided with an ARC by the author, but I'm leaving a voluntary and honest review.

I love, love, love this book. It was so well done and so steamy for a novella. The characters were so great that I really hope that Helen Scott writes more to the Buttercup story. I really like that some of the men knew Buttercup before the spell hit and were already interested in her. It wasn't all instalove. In addition, I loved Scott's writing style and will definitely read more of her books!
