Taming a Demon (Dallying with Demons #2)


I was recently introduced to Amy Padilla and her Dallying with Demons series. The second book is "Taming a Demon."

["Tyler is cursed. Not in the joking, having a bad week kind of day. He can’t seem to get through one day without injuring himself. He lost his job, his apartment, is camping out on his sister’s couch, and things just seem to be getting worse. So when a hot AF demon comes to his rescue, he jumps at the chance for a distraction. After all, what’s a better distraction from a bad day than sex?

Felix doesn’t trust humans. Not after what happened. But when his best friend drops him for his new boyfriend, he’s in desperate need of a distraction. And the clumsy human who can’t catch a break is a fun distraction. As long as he doesn’t get too close, what could go wrong?

But when they both realize that the curse is more than just a joke, they have to figure out how to get rid of it before Tyler gets hurt. Or hurts someone else. Because, you know, they wanted things to be hot between the sheets, but they weren’t exactly looking to light the thing on fire. Especially with them in it."]

And the bonus tags (because they're arguable better than the blurb itself): ["don’t trust Tyler with fragile objects, curses, frat boys and demons, what could go wrong, trust issues, sexy times outside, caught in the act, stairs are dangerous, miscommunication, literal fire, it was an accident, witches mean business, Athena is sassy like always, confrontations, prank war, who thought this was a good idea?, sometimes sex should be fun, even pranksters deserve love."]

You know that kinda guy who pretends to be happy all the time? Who's the joking/funny friend in the group? Who's never serious? Who's the kinda frat/dude bro type? That's BOTH Felix and Tyler. I highlighted "there's two of them" multiple times while reading (it was great!).

They became fast friends (best friends), even before they succumbed to the lust between them. And when they started down the spicy path? They were sooo gone on each other. So gone :D 

And what's hotter than a supernatural being protecting their mate in the face of death? No fucking much.

Trigger Warnings: a non-consensual kiss, threats of assault, trigger happy police officers, and more.
