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!

This story had me laughing from beginning to end. It was completely ridiculous, but fully self-aware of it, and I loved that. The mix of modern language (including a lot of cursing), absurdity, and high fae creatures was entirely too much fun. The narrator for the audio book was incredible and gave Cin such flair.

It’s not a literary masterpiece, but I really enjoyed this. The irony laced into the story was beautifully done, even if the prose was a little underdeveloped. I was a little caught off-guard when the sweet, absurd tone shifted to graphic violence and explicit smut. The adventure itself was overly simplified and quite convenient.

Overall though, it’s a fluffy, smutty, absurd story that I will definitely re-read!

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.

This is the story of Cinnamon, a spice famer, and Fallon a demon. The book starts out with Cinnamon out in town square, drinking and eating cheese at a festival in her town. She promptly gets drunk, walks herself home, and then she runs right into a demon named Fallon! The demon reveals

that the goddess that Cinnamon's people have been worshipping is actually an evil witch, or a litch.

Soon, they embark on a journey to stop the witch in disguise, they end up meeting a few friends and running into some enemies on the journey.

All in all this was super cute and it had a good balance between the spice and the storyline.
I'm giving this 3 chilies out out 5 chilies 🌶️🌶️🌶️ worth of spice.

I really loved this, I'm giving it 5 stars out of 5
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I listened to this for free on the library app Libbyapp.com
