Little Demon in the Details is filthy hot, lots of fun, has the brattiest of brats as one of the MCs, and I loved it! 💖

I adored Mercer and Blake! These two were at each other's throats in the most entertaining way, and there was no way either of them had a chance of trying to fight their chemistry.

“I respect you,” he tells me, making me whimper. “But I will fucking use you like you want to be used. I can do both. Understand?” 🔥

Mercer is an absolute brat, he's fun, dramatic, kind of mean, and a full-on chaos demon. But underneath, the guy has so many abandonment, trust, and self-esteem issues that he's trying to deflect from and usually no one bothers putting in the effort to see the real him. Blake manages to see through Mercer's bs though, and treats him like an equal, not someone who needs to be controlled or tempered down, but instead guided and supported. Mercer needs Blake's unwavering support, loyalty, and love, and Blake needs the fun, excitement, and love Mercer brings to his life 💜

Mercer and Blake are actually perfect for each other. Watching Blake go from finding Mercer annoying but strangely intriguing to being utterly charmed by his tantrums was everything! Also, Mercer's wearing pretty lacy things under his sweats aka his hoodlum look is 🔥

"Mercer is capable of more than anyone has ever given him credit for, and I won’t be yet another person to treat him like a child. I pause for another second. But on the other hand, he is my /precious little baby/ and I will stop at nothing to ensure he is safe."

The book's emotional and kind of over the top, but it's also HOT af, fun, and I had a great time reading it. I initially gave it 4.5 stars but I already want to reread it so we're gonna bump that to 5 ✨

I buddy read this book with my friend Dana(😘) and she wrote me a most beautiful and also very accurate poem about our new fave:

😈

There once was a brat named Mercer,
He was a very good curser,


He was a bad little demon,
And liked to play with s€men,


Just an overall heathen
