This is a MMM book with a very interesting magic system. Magic, familiars, demons = everything I’m asking for
I am not losing you either, okay? I’ll fucking quit and work for you for free. You can be my hot, younger sugar daddy.
I really like the way the author wrote each characters, even the secondary one. Their connection felt genuine. Also, it was funny? Like I really liked the humour and all, I normally never comment on that because I rarely find books funny.
The plot was so so good? Idk I really really liked the story and it didn’t feel rushed AT ALL.
I’m quite literally in love with this universe.
Look, sometimes when a man was drunk, Googling life decisions sounded like a perfectly sound plan, okay? And Google Sensei had tried; it wasn’t his fault. Nico just asked some really, really weird questions.
My man Nico is so funny sksjsksk

Absolutely freaking delightful!
I fell face-first into this story and finished it in one go! It had it all: world building, fantasy, hot sex, magic, epic side characters and a brilliant storyline! Thoroughly enjoyable and heartily recommended!

This book was a blind sale purchase that I couldn’t be happier about. I loved the characters and the story. I was an all around win for me. Fun and sassy
3.5
This was a silly, quick read. My first true mmm & mmm PNR. I like the premise--a mage and his familiar(s). MAD and the other mages. The writing was a little surface and silly, but sometimes that's exactly what is needed.

Didn't want it to end
Loved everything about this story. It was hilarious, low-angst and spicy where it needed to be. Can't wait to read about more shenanigans with these boys!

Complicated
Bel Adams, Mage, needs a familiar, but after his first summoning resulted in a failed bond, he fears being rejected yet again. Nico di Rossi, Army Ranger, needs a new direction in life, and being summoned as a familiar is exactly the change of pace and sense of purpose he’s been looking for. Garen Delarosa, Secret Service, needs his former lover, Nico, back in his life. Working together just might be the second chance they all need—if they’re brave enough to take it.
This was my first encounter with A.J. Sherwood, and what a delightful encounter it proved to be! A Mage’s Guide to Human Familiars is a lighthearted, funny, and adventurous story that features a wonderfully diverse cast of characters and an engaging urban fantasy setting. The resolution at the end felt a little rushed and perhaps a little too easy, but I didn’t mind as the story centres primarily on the characters and their individual journeys. The budding romance between the three MMCs—Bel, Nico, and Garen—is a tantalising slow burn woven into a tale of new love, second chances, and self-discovery. Each is loveable in his own ways, and the banter between them and the secondary characters was a treat to read. For a shorter novel, there’s a great blend of emotional, sweet, sexy, and humorous moments, with MMC Nico—who is best described as a blend of energetic and goofy golden retriever and german shepherd guard dog—featuring especially in the latter category. I can’t wait to see what mischief he, Bel, and Garen get up to in the second novel, A Mage’s Guide to Aussie Terrors.
