The setting and the main character's narration were fun, but the characters and romance were extremely underdeveloped. They fell in love in like 5 days, and I just didn't see any bonding moments where they really got to know each other. I couldn't see what they loved about each other besides finding each other hot. Fallon was too possessive for my taste, and I didn't care for the dubcon.

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.

A bit too fluffy and cheesy for my liking but cute nonetheless. I don't love quick love stories. EXTRA CRINGE sex scenes. The faces I made 😆
I hate coersed affection and hesitation. Girl you either know or you don't. He doesn't have to plop you in his lap and kiss you for you to guess it's ok. Kinda eww. They didn't even know each other (at all) and he's like "I saw you, I wanted you, so now you're mine". And she's like " I don't want this but he washed my hair so now I'm swooning and can't breathe without him". In the span of like two chapters.  It was boring and typical for such a strongly depicted female lead. Who by the way is so oblivious sometimes I wonder how she did any of the heroic stuff depicted. It was overly unrealistic (7 foot, big dick demon sex aside) even for a fantasy. I don't think I'll continue the series as the writing is a bit too cliche and the jokes and humor were childish for being a spicy romance. Shock and awe for the sake of being "that kind of spicy book". Nothing really fit into place imo. 

I will add I did really like Felix, so I MIGHT read book two to continue his story.

That was definitely a fun and interesting ride! I loved the adventurous, cozy-fantasy style aspect that we were given with many comedic intervals along the way. It's a book I would recommend if you are in a reading slump and need something easy to pick-up or something after a serious read/series. However, not really a big fan of the middle-grade like writing with very cringe sex scenes.
