I was recently introduced to Amy Padilla and her Dallying with Demons series. The first book is "Dating a Demon."
["Brandon had gone his whole life without experiencing the kind of connection that he’d always wanted. So when his best friend offers to set him up on a blind date, he decides it can’t hurt to try. He never expected Callum. He’s bigger, taller, and more dominant, and exactly what Brandon had always hoped for. He's also a demon.
Callum didn’t usually date humans. It was a rule he and his friends had followed since the integration. But one night with Brandon wasn’t enough for him. And there’s more to their connection than what happens in bed. Something he’d only ever heard about, and never dreamed would be his.
But when the outside world starts poking at their budding relationship, they both need to decide if the feelings stirring in their chest are worth the fight. Or if this was always meant to be one night."]
And the bonus tags (because they're arguable better than the blurb itself): ["shy giants, Sexy Demons, Brandon finally isn’t the biggest guy in the room, experimenting, flirting, pet names, Brandon gets to be the little spoon, mates, sassy oracles know too much, jealous best friends, brothers are annoying, Callum makes them regret it, cuddles, sixty nines, adorable fluff, a little bloodshed, and lots of spice."]
How can a book be this cute and adorable be as spicy as it was?!?! D: Holy hell, this book was fantastic.
Neither of them wanted something serious, and yet, here we are. Neither of them were sure about crossing species' lines, and yet, here we are. Neither of them wanted out of the honeymoon bubble, and yet, here we are.
I would have looooved to have lingered more on the mates things, learned more about how that works and what that entails and what it all means, but overall, this book was a homerun in my opinion. A great debut for Amy!!
Trigger Warnings: homophobia, species-phobia, assault, violence, and more
