The tag line should be “It’s ribbed for your pleasure.”
5 stars simply because it met all of my expectations when I started the book. I appreciate that the plot didn’t have any glaring plot holes given that it is, at its core, demon smut. 
If S&M isn’t your thing do not read this book. I feel this book would’ve done well to have even a small warning at the beginning.

I’m not into the masochistic sex stuff. So some of that I had to skim. 

Also, I hate when men call women “baby girl”, especially in a sexual context. The author started using this term 75% of the way into the book and then used it constantly for the rest of the book and it was so off putting that it cost this a whole Star. 

Nonetheless, I found the story compelling and was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed this book. The writing (with a few exceptions) was solid and the spice was top notch ( and would probably be even more so for those S&M lovers).
