This was the cutest book I’ve read thus far this year! I LOVE this couple. This is a low angst, almost slice of life type of story with a shy and awkward virgin MMC and an experienced, confident succubus FMC. It was short but SPICY. Some tropes include consent king/queen, bi MMC, pansexual FMC, emotional past heartaches, insta lust/love, stripper girlfriend and quirky paranormal best friends. I really enjoy this author’s writing, and their world building is so fun. Only issue for me is that we get a lot of “convenient” magic that helps to whisk away mundane things (like cleaning up body fluids), but I can’t think of a different way to introduce these concepts without it feeling silly. It’s a fantasy romance, so I’m not too bothered by it. All in all, this is a light, adorable, spicy monster/human romance with a HEA. Highly recommend!
