Synopsis (Goodreads):

I thought I knew heartbreak. Three years with my boyfriend, supporting his dreams, and he repays me by screwing my "best friend". In our bed. On my grandmother's quilt.

Furious, I performed a vengeance ritual from some sketchy grimoire. But when my blood hit the circle, I didn't just summon help—I bound Vernox, a vengeance demon, to me until justice is served.

Now he follows me everywhere in leather and danger, whispering dark promises about what Trevor and Megan deserve. But Vex doesn't just want revenge on them—he wants to destroy everyone who's ever hurt me.

And the way he touches me, claims me, makes me realize I don't want vengeance anymore. I want to be loved properly. Possessively. Forever.

"You bound me to you, baby. That means you're bound to me too."

I summoned a demon for revenge. Instead, I got a hot protector with anger issues and incredible stamina. I'm keeping him.

Thoughts on Bound to My Demon: Lyssa is in a bit of a rageful frame of mind when she performs her ritual and she didn't just end up with a demon who would help her get revenge, but with a demon who is bound to her, can read her like an open book, AND wants to give her all the revenge her heart desires.

Yup, Vernox is there for Lyssa in all the ways her ex wasn't. For all he's a demon, he's devoted, VERY giving, and willing to go to any lengths to make sure she's happy.

Quite frankly, Lyssa definitely traded up when she walked in on her ex and ex-best friend and made the choice to call down a little vengeance on them both.

Synopsis (Goodreads):

When she wished upon a star, she never thought the universe would manifest him.

Ember has always worked hard to achieve her goals. Move to the city? Check. Start her own boutique? Check. Buy a Victorian house? Check. Find love?

Absolute failure, and it’s not for lack of trying.

So she does something she hasn’t tried yet—she makes a wish upon a star. It’s just a silly, hopeful gesture. What can it hurt?

With a literal bump in the night, Nyte appears. He’s ethereally gorgeous, with dark skin that glitters like the starry sky, wings formed of otherworldly shadow, and eyes that glow with all the beauty, depth, and mystery of the universe. The moment Ember sees him, she can’t help but think her wish has come true.

What does it matter that he’s not human? He’s her monster-loving fantasy brought to life.

The problem? He had his heart stolen by his freaking ex.

Thanks to the spell that inadvertently summoned him, she has a month to prove that she’s the one for him. That she’s worthy of his love.

But is his wounded heart able to give it?

Thoughts on Oops! I Summoned a Night Demon: As far as Ember knows, she's not a witch. Yet she managed (with a little help from a mischievous, sweet shooting star) to summon a demon who is grumpy, a little heartsore (to say the least), and incredibly sexy.

I might be understating things when I say Nyte is not thrilled to have been summoned. His trust was shattered by his last relationship and he has a hard time wrapping his head around the idea that Ember is not there to take from him. She's genuinely kind and does what she can to make their month together as painless as possible.

On Ember's end, Nyte is everything she'd wished for in a romantic partner. But since he's only with her thanks to the summoning, she tries to ignore his sexiness and treat him like a person. A person with wings and horns and the endless night beneath his skin, but a person all the same.

A little (okay, not so little) nudge from Nyte's found family, a nasty succubus who doesn't know when to quit, a couple of steamy kisses, a night demon who has to shake himself out of his despair, and a lady who wants a forever kind of love and might just have found the perfect male to share it with.

Synopsis (Goodreads):

One moment I’m within my domain in the abyss, and the next…
She’s in front of me with a steam cleaner in her hand.
Her name is Grace… but I’m in no threat of falling, feeling hexed…
With her, I’ve ascended, on land.

Now she wants to get rid of me, saying I’m an accident.
Unfortunately for her, I have no intention of leaving without a taste.
I plan to stay until she’s flustered, wet, and bent out of shape.
Then maybe I’ll give her a reprieve, after I’ve had my fill of the chase.

-Sepher, Duke of Hell

Thoughts on Oops! I Summoned a Demonic Merman: Grace was only trying to clean up her parent's rental when she triggered the summoning circle left behind by the last renters and suddenly she has a roomful of merman. Demonic merman, so be specific. Sepher isn't thrilled to have been summoned, but he's also pretty darn intrigued by the human with the tasty tears and sexy body.

So he does what any self-respecting demon would do and makes a deal with Grace. And in typical demonic fashion, he makes sure the terms are in his favor. To be fair, why should be give up the tasty human treat now that he's found her?

On Grace's end, she's understandably confused on how she accidentally summoned a demonic merman. While she has magic, she shies away from using it after a bad incident years ago and she doesn't quite know what triggers her abilities. Turns out a sexy demon in the bathtub is the answer.

A grumpy demon who is about to find his match in the human realm, a lady who doesn't fit in until she does, and a watery hellscape that's perfect for raising little demonic merkids. Grace and Sepher are worlds apart, but they work!

Synopsis (Goodreads):

When Skylar is tricked into making an online dating profile, she rebels by summoning a boyfriend for the night instead.

What comes out of her magic circle is not what she expected. He doesn’t even have a body! He’s just a mass of glowing blue tentacles. Yet he gives her the hottest—and strangest—ride of her life until the sun rises.

She knows she can’t rely on an amorphous tentacle creature for love, but can she bear to close the one-way door that is the magic circle? Even when that wretched online dating profile helps her find the perfect man, will she be able to resist if the naughty, shape-shifting monster starts knocking?

Thoughts on Oops! I Summoned a Metamorphic Monster: When Skylar gets an idea in her head, she absolutely takes it and runs with it. Just full steam ahead. No looking back. Give it her all and deal with any consequences later. Fortunately, she has pretty good instincts and when she gets these ideas, they tend to be good ones.

For example, summoning a demon to give her some good, down home lovin' for a night. Sure, sure, she expected an incubus or something vaguely humanoid when she set out to get this lovin', but she 100% didn't have (too) much of an issue with the monster that answered her summons. Added bonus: his tentacles were VERY attentive and might have ruined Skylar for any regular lovin' in the future.

As for the non-humanoid monster? Well, Vorg likes the sweet, receptive witch who accidentally summoned him. Considering the type of monster he is, getting a summons at all is rare. Getting one from an individual who REALLY likes his non-human parts? MAGNIFICENT.

A little magic, some frisky tentacles, a monster who can become exactly what his witch needs, and a witch who didn't expect to fall for her one-night summon, but she fell and fell hard. *thumbs up*

Synopsis (Goodreads):

A blind sculptor. A satyr bodyguard. A dangerous plan to expose a criminal empire.

Aceon doesn’t care for holidays—or humans. As a satyr bodyguard, his job is to keep his clients alive and his emotions out of the equation. But Satin, a blind sculptor with a biting wit and a deadly secret, isn’t like any client he’s ever had.

She’s stolen a list that could expose the corrupt empire that destroyed her family, and now assassins are closing in. From Moscow’s glittering Winter Galas to high-stakes casinos in Morocco, Aceon and Satin must outsmart and outfight a relentless enemy while navigating a connection that’s as dangerous as it is undeniable.

Their mission is clear: protect the list, expose the truth, and stay alive long enough to see Christmas.

But the real risk isn’t losing the fight—it’s losing each other.

Thoughts on Guarded by the Krampus: Aceon is SUPER not into the holiday season thanks to his resemblance to Krampus. He's absolutely ready to take a well-deserved couple of days off when Satin walks into MSA needing a bodyguard. The big guy is instantly smitten and takes on her case without looking back.

Technically, he didn't "take on her case" in the MSA sense since he literally just said LET'S DO THIS and the two of them left the building. There was no contract signed. Yup, Ace is following his heart. Amongst other things. His heart (and loins) say he needs to help Satin and he's going to do it.

Satin (aka Sarah) has a lot on her plate. She's trying to take down a worldwide criminal empire while being hunted by assassins. Ace is the bodyguard she needs, but he's also a monster who is gloriously unfiltered and treats her like she's more than a world-renowned sculptor. In fact, he kind of treats her like she's the most precious, incredible thing he's ever seen. He's also 100% onboard with helping her with her mission and keeping her alive, which is absolutely a plus.

A thoroughly debauched private jet, a body mod that does double duty, a monster who goes full out when he meets his special someone, and a lady who is DELIGHTED with the furred, irreverent monster by her side. *thumbs up*

Synopsis (Goodreads):

Crack an egg, hatch a demon!

When Coral goes to pick up the remaining belongings her obnoxious ex-roommate Angelique left in their old flat, she inadvertently starts the mother of all shitstorms. How was Coral to know that she’d brought back Vazul—an insanely hot sex demon, with a sharp tongue and wicked wits? She should cast him out, but the thought of parting ways with her irreverent demon is unbearable.

With Angelique hellbent on reclaiming what she deems hers, should Coral protect Vazul from the nefarious plans that wicked witch has in store for him, or should she seize the opportunity to run?

Thoughts on Oops! I Summoned a Liderc: Being a decent human being (and not wanting to pay a cleaning fee on the apartment they're moving out of), Coral picks up the last of her former roommates belongings from the apartment they just moved out of. Little does she know she's about to change her life in a BIG way.

Because one of the items she picked up is an egg that hatches a sex demon. A sexy sex demon. A sex demon who REALLY wants to treat her like the treasure he knows she is. Coral isn't exactly sold on the idea of owning another being, but her entire self rebels at the thought of handing him back to her old roommate. She might not know what to do with a sexy demon, but she doesn't want him exploited or otherwise abused.

On Vazul's end, he's never had a master (or mistress) who treats him like he matters. Coral is kind and caring and the more time he spends with her, the more he wants to make sure she has an easy life with plenty of success. While some of that is genetically engrained in him, he LIKES the woman he's bound to more than he thought was possible.

An ex-roommate who's a little power-hungry, more than a few sexy times, a hunky demon who doesn't like bothering with clothes (at least not easy to remove clothes), and a newbie witch who is about to find her groove and her special someone all in one fell swoop!
