I had so much fun reading this book. The adventure, the sex and the comedy. It was all so good, but there were a few awkward and/or cringy moments. I personally hate it when there is stuttering in a book. It takes me right out of it. I have suffered through my own many years of poorly written 2010s Wattpad fanfics (please understand this is not saying this is a Wattpad-level story, nor am I saying that Wattpad stories themselves are bad). I did find it to be a little vanilla and there could have been more sex scenes. This being said, sometimes you need to settle down with a cheesy, smutty book over the weekend.

While reading I felt amused and surprised at how kind of good the plot and story are put together. Cheesy? Yes, but such a delightful surprise and enjoyable. 
Would I keep/buy? Yes.
Not a lot of time has passed since finishing but I will say it was the perfect nice and easy going read I was looking for. It was right up my alley and I'm still just truly shocked by how much I liked it, yes it had all the fantasy adventure kind of romance cliches but I feel like it was done in a way where you kind of expected it and like it didn't take itself too seriously. And this I've never had a book that made me laugh out loud so much.

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!
