I was recently introduced to Amy Padilla and her Dallying with Demons series, and I was lucky enough to receive an ARC for the fourth book. "Loving a Demon" debuts August 6, 2024.
["Arthur was a mess. A single dad, newly divorced, who realized a little late he wasn’t as straight as he thought. When he stumbles into a bar to wallow, he doesn't think he’d be falling in love with a band of paranormals. Much less going on a date with the lead singer.
Hendrix lived and breathed his music. So when he and his band had to start fresh in the human realm, he didn’t blink twice. He’d do what he had to in order to make it big. And when his first real human fan turns out to be his new muse, he’s determined to keep him.
But not everyone is happy for them. And there are some things in life that are more important than love. Right?"]
And the bonus tags (because they're arguable better than the blurb itself): ["rock star demons, paranormal bands, because they’re sexy, that’s why, Arthur is their biggest fan, single dad, no timelines on sexual discovery, Arthur is shy, Hendrix likes to make him blush, lesbian wedding, kids are brutal, not all band members are created equal, all the experimenting, sexually explicit content, Hendrix has a new muse, friends don’t let other friends go to the sex club alone, kids are observant, so much fluff"]
This book was flipping adorable and perfect. Barely any angst. Just the right amount of steam. And more fluff than you'd think (but honestly, Art deserves it--so does Hen). Add in there Sophie? Yeah, this book was fabulous.
And I only ugly cried once (though I have a feeling I'll ugly cry more in the next one...why are you torturing us (with your talent), Amy?)
Quote of the Day: "I think that every life deserves to be treated equally. Human, paranormal, neurodivergent, queer. All of us should be treated with kindness and support. There's nothing wrong with being different."
I had another favorite quote, but kinda spoils a smidge (just a smidge) of the plot...oh, what the hell (I'll cross off the spoiler: "You're my mate. Did you know that? I figured it out after you left. Feels like you took my soul with you. I'll never find someone better."
Trigger Warnings: homophobia, difficult relationship between ex-spouses (especially in regards to their shared custody agreement), actually really toxic ex in general, and more.
