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.

A quick and easy read. Super cute and just all around fun!

The modern attitudes and idioms threw me off at first, but it added a lot of personality to the book. Loved the adventure and the friends that Fallon and Cinn (well, mostly Cinn lol) made along the way! And of course they were very cute.

A hilarious subversion of the classic villain and damsel dynamic. Cinnamon is just a simple spice farmer when she happens across a demon in the woods after a heavy night of drinking, but the adventure that she embarks on isn't exactly what she's heard in the stories (or any of us, for that matter!) The book rockets through to the climactic ending, and a happily ever after of an unexpected kind. A delightful read and definitely an author to watch!

From the inside of the book: "This book contains light BDSM, dub con, violence, mentions of sexual violence (no rape or sexual assault occur. It is mentioned in conversation.), and sexually explicit that could trigger certain audiences."

4.0

cin knows what she wants

hot demon hellbent on keeping her safe? check
hot demon turning out to be a dragon? double check
dragon mates and their mating practices? triple check

i’m sold. one of my fave spicy novels so far. is it still layered with microlevels of misogyny and violence against women? yeah. at the very least, its easy to ignore or completely miss. either way, it’s still better than other spicy novels i’ve read.

anyway its like 3am so im giving this 4 stars and heading to bed. have fun with this one everyone!

two side characters threaten to sexually assault cin after they leave the swamp. lots of limbs are lost and people are brutally killed by fallon often too. the gaslighting also refers to the goddess, not any of the other characters (except maybe glen) kink warnings include: spanking, light bondage, praise kink, dirty talk, asphyxiation, (seemingly) unprotected sex, and d/s undertones
