BOOKWORM REVIEW: My Funny Demon Valentine by Aurora Ascher

 


RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
STEAM: 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Apparently, I am into demons now. Five of them, in fact. But let's focus on the one this book is about.

Asmodeus and his three demon brothers are on the run after escaping Hell, and where do fugitives from Hell go? 

Apparently Montreal.

They take a break from their heavily warded apartment to go to a jazz club. Asmodeus, who is typically ignored by everyone as part of an old curse, hunkers down at the bar when a musical goddess (figuratively speaking) comes on stage and captures his undivided attention. He is even more surprised when Eva comes up to him at the bar after her, and these two hit off. Too bad their time was cut short after a gargoyle sent to hunt down our Hell escapees came to collect them.

They eventually reconnect, but Eva had some questions she is scared to ask about the night they met. She saw something she should not have and wondered about who Ash really is. Ash and his brothers are also on borrowed time as The Hunter seems to be getting close.

This was easily one of my favorite reads in 2021. Aurora Ascher did a phenomenal job in doing comprehensive research about demons, and it shows in this book. I loved learning about the different backgrounds of Ash and his companions and the dynamics of heaven and hell. 

Ash and Eva are adorable as they navigate not only a new relationship but also Ash having to learn human tendencies and behavior. I loved that Ash is a HUGE alpha-roll, and as much as his brothers would deny it, so are they. They are very sweet, and they complement each other well. I guess that comes with being in close proximity for thousands of years. Eva is such a fierce FMC. She may have her human moments, but she definitely stands her ground against Ash and the other demons.

Their connection is just intense. The spicy scenes are definitely habanero hot. and these two do not hold back.

I cannot say enough about the ensemble cast in this read. We will know more about them in later books, but they all have endearing personalities that make us readers hold them close to our hearts.

If you love PNR with lots of spice, action, and laughs, this is a must-read.


ABOUT THE BOOK

Asmodeus, Prince of Hell, just wants to play music. Jazz, specifically.

Unfortunately, he’s a demon, and he’s supposed to be evil. A career as a musician isn’t exactly an option.
And he’s cursed, to top it all off.

Sick of playing by the rules, Ash and his brothers escape Hell in search of freedom on Earth, only to discover it’s harder than they thought to keep their enemies off their tail. The four rogues quickly become the Underworld's Most Wanted, and if they're caught...
The consequences will be dire.

Everything changes for Ash when he meets a beautiful violinist who can see through his curse. It must be too good to be true, but he can’t resist the temptation.
No matter the risk, he has to have her.

Evangeline Gregory is just your average human. She works at a jazz bar, plays gigs on weekends…
And, apparently, hallucinates demons.

At least, that’s what she tells herself happens when, moments after she meets the man of her dreams, she sees him shift into a seven-foot-tall, red-skinned monster.

Not believing her own eyes, Eva decides to investigate and soon finds herself caught in the middle of a supernatural clusterf**k of epic proportions. But Ash isn’t the only one keeping secrets, and the search for answers reveals a shocking truth that will change the course of her life forever.

Or maybe just doom it.

---

My Funny Demon Valentine is a steamy paranormal romance about learning how to love (and what love is in the first place) with an HEA, clothes-ripping-hot love scenes, and a crew of devilish demon brothers who are supposed to be the bad guys.
There’s violence, graphic sex, and too much swearing. You’ve been warned.
