Read this a part of book club, and full disclosure, I don't normally read romance with explicit sex or low-key BDSM feel. This book comes with content warnings, but anything that happens is explicitly consensual, so that's all good.

The whole story unfolds like a fan-fiction style rendering of someone's role-playing campaign. I feel like scribbled in the corner of the character notes for the protagonist reads: Cinnamon likes to get drunk, and when inebriated will get cravings for cheese.

It's an entertaining book about a girl who just wants a quiet life, who quests to destroy 4 artefacts of power to bring down an evil nasty, while collecting about her a team of hot and capable companions.. one of whom wants to seduce her into a life-bond, so they can boff happily ever after.

Entertaining.. but not world moving.

Despite the whimsical narration from Cin, this covered a surprising amount of dark topics (from death of a sibling, to slavery of a race).

The story was fun and adventurous, but I found the friendly narration a little too much, and didn't particularly enjoy the over the top ogling of all the demons. Also, the easy acceptance of just killing anyone and everyone (like the other tavern owner's tavern being burned down whilst he was presumed to be in it) was a little too ridiculous.

Also, every make in this book that had ginger hair was ridiculed or evil in some way, which wasn't my cup of tea either.

I would recommend this if you want an easy read without thinking too much into it.

Sweet and spicy, just like Cinnamon. If you're looking for excellent monster romance content, look no further.

I absolutely loved this! This is the type of cozy fantasy vibes that I crave from books. Now I will admit there was more gore in it than I was expecting... but it was laugh out loud funny literally from the beginning to the end. The sexy scenes were absolutely delicious and although I knew after reading ‘Two Scoops of Hellfire’ that this was gonna be a good time it still managed to surprise me with how much I loved it. 100 stars.

Oh my demons, this book was hilarious! The title was the first thing that caught my eye, because of course it would! And I thought the cover art was cute. So the fast-paced storytelling, great character development and world-building, and SIZZLING sex scenes hidden behind them were all the more enjoyable. 

I really had a good time with this story! The reluctant heroine is badass, funny, witty, and her own, strong woman, who makes a pretty damn amazing adventurer even if that was the last thing she was looking for. And then there's her own personal demon, who is a gorgeous, sexy, possessive, madly in love dr... Well, you'll just have to read the story to find out exactly what kind of demon he is. 😈 Together, they get up to all manner of heroic, swashbuckling deeds, while Cin fights her undeniable attraction to Fallon. 

I was hooked from the beginning and I can't wait to read the rest of the series!
