Guys I think this might be my first 6 star in years. I am absolutely in love with this book, and the characters, and Kimberly's writing. I loved everything about this book, it was a perfect mix between insta love and slow burn. I love fallon, he might be my new favorite book boyfriend. I need to read the rest of this series immediately. I have not had a story that affected me as much as this one has in a long time. I feel like I will be thinking about this book (especially Fallon) for months

I really just think that this isn’t for me.
The modern dialogue felt out of place, but I wanted to try to get through more since it jarred me early in the book.
However, I just don’t care or understand the characters or the plot. I’m going to say that this is not my thing and move on to a book that I am excited to continue reading.

This was a super fun read. As my second romance book and first ever smut, it was so enjoyable I finished it within a day. It's super cheesy but it had me laughing the entire time. A great experience!

Read this a part of book club, and full disclosure, I don't normally read romance with explicit sex or low-key BDSM feel. This book comes with content warnings, but anything that happens is explicitly consensual, so that's all good.

The whole story unfolds like a fan-fiction style rendering of someone's role-playing campaign. I feel like scribbled in the corner of the character notes for the protagonist reads: Cinnamon likes to get drunk, and when inebriated will get cravings for cheese.

It's an entertaining book about a girl who just wants a quiet life, who quests to destroy 4 artefacts of power to bring down an evil nasty, while collecting about her a team of hot and capable companions.. one of whom wants to seduce her into a life-bond, so they can boff happily ever after.

Entertaining.. but not world moving.

I absolutely loved this! This is the type of cozy fantasy vibes that I crave from books. Now I will admit there was more gore in it than I was expecting... but it was laugh out loud funny literally from the beginning to the end. The sexy scenes were absolutely delicious and although I knew after reading ‘Two Scoops of Hellfire’ that this was gonna be a good time it still managed to surprise me with how much I loved it. 100 stars.
