So I've been reading this book series about humans that fall in love with demons. I believe it's called the Hell Bent series by Aurora Ascher.

Writing Prompt
He was trying not to look threatening, she realized, and almost laughed. She ought to tell him not to bother. He couldn’t pull off non-threatening to save his life.

Villain redemption! I love these books! Originally I was in it for the smut, but over the course of the series, I got HOOKED into the world & lore. I love my sexy, hilarious demon fam. I will be so upset when the series ends. 😭

Synopsis
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.
Hello can I recommend a spicy romance novel series?????
For the adults in the crowd, I would like to recommend the Hellbent series by Aurora Ascher. I read My Funny Demon Valentine over the coarse of a month, maybe a little over. I picked up My Demon Hunter last week and am already halfway through. The series is a supernatural cozy fantasy romance. Be aware there are sex scenes. I saw a lot a people complaining that they didn't expect it. (Not sure why, it says on the back it was a spice novel.)
The characters are incredible and very few I actively hate (of course there are some you're supposed to.) The way the brothers interact is funny and so true to siblings life (albeit dysfunctional) many of the protags read as autistic (especially book 2 protag) and it just adds a level of depth that I love. (I'm not diagnosed but I'm probably on the spectrum. Me saying they feel autistic is meant as a positive as they are relatable) Ash was fun, Mist is adorable, And Meph is hilarious. I Can't wait to pick up Demon with Benefits .
BARE IN MIND, I haven't actively chosen to read a novel since 2015. THIS SERIES MAKES ME WANT TO. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. Aurora's narrative voice is amazing in that it has an air of casual conversation and light heartedness but depth making dramatic scenes feel like they have weight.
I'm probably explaining this poorly but I don't know how to describe it beyond she writes like how I talk with my friend.
another thing I want to mention is HOW FREAKING PRETTY THE BOOKS ARE. LIKE HELLO?!?
Even if you read them and HATE THEM they are GORGEOUS DECOR. But I love them and think they're beautiful.
Anyway, thanks for listening to me ramble. Have a nice day.
What are you reading right now?
I'm reading Guardian Demons by Aurora Ascher (narrated by Kirsten Leigh). This series has romances with humour, demons, and spice. They get silly but they're a fun break.
Also just a bit into Katabasis by R.F. Kuang and really enjoying it so far. Loving all the world building.
