A cozy fantasy where even the violent bits are warm and comfy.
The Demons Deal by L Alexander was a very emotional and romantically sweet fantasy romance.
In this novel, we follow Calla who has been sold to a household after losing all of her memories. She's not treated very well by the staff of the house, until the Baron comes home and realizes how she's been handled. The master of the house immediately makes reparations in order to make her feel more comfortable. There's no denying the instant attraction between the two of them. Rylan, the head of the household, instantly moved her upstairs into his quarters. The attraction really picks up from there although it's a bit before we get to any hot and heavy spice. The spice is very decent and not at all cringey. It is open door, but I would not call it smut imo. Rylan offers to help. Kayla unlock her magic which seems to be suppressed, we're also trying to bring forth her memories. Calls takes on many of his employees as found family, and it is a very sweet relationship between several of them. We also have a few animal companions that have special abilities as well which makes this an extra fun read. Of course, there are ups and downs and plots and twists but I cannot give those away because you need to read this book! I really enjoyed it, and I look forward to any more that might be following in the series.

Can’t quite categorize this as a cozy read since there are some pretty heavy things sprinkled in but a pretty solid read, just not for me. I had the perpetual feeling of waiting for something to happen until around the 80% mark. I guess I wish the conflict and plot points had hit a little harder.
Just lost interest, the pace slowed down, I feel like the middle is very slow and repetitive
It was fine. It was just kind of meh. I thought it was going to be darker or something. It was a nice romantasy. I'm sure it would be good for someone else.

Mmmm mmm mmm. I have never loved a demon like this before. He's protective and honorable, a true definition of a cinnamon roll and honorable and he has horns! What else can a woman want?
Our heroine, is kidnapped. And cursed. But she's taken to the one place she needed to be. She goes THROUGH it, let me tell you. She always remains someone who's gonna keep on. Her circumstances aren't making her a pity party.
Our man guy is a mystery. Which I like. All the cards don't necessarily need to be on the table all at once. He's had something happen that's brought on a lot of guilt which makes him even more protective of our girl.
This is fantasy but it included fantasy that I've not read about in a novel before so it felt kinda fresh to me. I enjoyed all the side characters we got to meet. Especially the cat!
There are some spicy times, it's not a closed door romance. I enjoyed it, and I hope to read more in this universe.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Rating this book was very hard as there were sections of the book that had me completely captivated while other sections felt really slow and a bit boring. Especially the beginning of the book and the ending was really interesting and I loved reading the book. In the middle it felt like there was not that much plot and I was just waiting and waiting for something to happen.
The FMC can certainly take care of herself which I absolutely loved. The MMC on the other hand seemed to do EVERYTHING for the FMC and he was kind of a push-over which I didn’t like at all.
Overall I gave the book 3 stars because I felt like there could have been a more interesting middle section and the MMC needs work.

The Demon's Deal by L. Alexander is book one in The Demon Princes Series. It’s a Fated Mates Fantasy/ Paranormal Romance. I found this author on TikTok and loved the videos I had seen. This is the first time I’m reading a book written by this author but after finishing this book I’m looking forward to the next one. It surpassed my expectations with the story and how great the characters were. I read the entire thing in one sitting, I could wait to see where the book was going and what would happen next. The world building was fantastic as I could see everything as I read it because it was very well described. The main characters had such chemistry that I felt it even through my kindle. I also loved how each and everyone was unique. This is a great read and should definitely be checked out!

What an awesome story the author created a detailed universe full of magic, angels, demons and gargoyles.
A sweet fated mates story that had me staying up much later than I should have the last few nights.
The spice is pretty tame but still exciting a lot of will they won't they provides an great build up.
