Charmed Away Temp Agency #1
The Incubus's Assistant
When Avery showed up for his temp job on Monday morning, he had certain expectations in mind.
He was not expecting to end up bent over his new boss's desk. It was an innocent mistake, and he's determined to move on, but the experience left him breathless and more than a little curious. So when his new boss is left without a feeder, he volunteers to help. After all, that's what any good assistant would do. Right?
Ozen made foolish decisions when he was hungry. He is grateful that his new assistant is so forgiving. But when he finds himself starving after his new feeder throws a temper tantrum and refuses to show up, he has no choice but to ask his assistant for help. After all, he had yet to meet an assistant who was so professional. Surely they could get through a feeder contract without any issues. Right?
happy accidents; virgin MMC; hungry incubus; Ozen is grumpy when he's hungry; Avery is happy to be a snack; contracts should be taken seriously; petulant feeders will get their comeuppance; who knew you could order your perfect mate?; Avery is inexperienced; Ozen is a good teacher; mixing business with pleasure isn't such a bad idea; CEOs make busy bosses; it's just a crush, not; maybe contracts are meant to be broken; guaranteed HEA.
Includes a bonus scene, "A Case of Writer's Block."

A pleasant surprise, even if it took a bit to warm up to the world setup.
As you might assume based off the title, this is an office romance. But not the way you’d think: it’s set up in a world very similar to ours, only that the supernatural beings are the “normal” population, and humans are considered “lesser” that the rest. There’s a huge variety of supernaturals, from shapeshifters to dragons, trolls, Orks, banshees, sirens, vampires, Griffins and Hydras - if you have ever read about one, you can be sure it’s somewhere around there.
Oh, and incubi. Who need to feed regularly on - you guessed it - desire. Which is considered perfectly normal and transactional to a point where you have people working as “feeders” to keep them sustained.
Avery isn’t a feeder. He’s a human, working at a temp agency, mainly as a secretary/assistant. Only when he arrives at his new job, his new incubus boss mistakenly assumes he’s his new feeder, and… well… has a meal.
The confusion is cleared up after the meal, and things go back to as planned.
Or not 😆
What till me a bit to get accustomed to was the “transactional” sex - it’s a biological necessity for incubi, so it’s not out of the ordinary to have casual sex during lunch breaks, and then go back to work. But once you get into the spirit, it’s a lot of fun, and I really appreciated the new spin.
The audio is free on audible, and is narrated by Joel Leslie - who’s ok, even good for the most part - I just can’t stand his narration of spicy scenes 😅
Other than that - very entertaining, low on drama, high on steam.

I don't know if I loved this because it was truly great or if I just needed a safe-for-me win, but, I don't care, I pretty much smiled all the way through, loved this office romance between a human and an incubus, it hit all the office-y things I love in office romance, and I had a great time.
Human-incubus pairing. Hilarious setup in which the human, Avery, is a temp who's come to the office as an emergecy last-minute replacement temp to fill in for the incubus's (Ozen's) assistant and gets mistaken for Ozen's new feeder, who is overdue to start the same day. It starts with a literal bang--TW for unknowing dub-con, as Ozen truly thinks Avery is there to feed him (aka have orgasms so Ozen can absorb that sexual energy) and Avery is the most professional accommodating temp ever and assumes this is perhaps part of the job. As an accidental (just didn't have time/too busy) virgin, Avery is actually happy to have it happen, so, didn't feel coerced and their chemistry is off the charts because...well, because. There's a very good reason.
Ozen is horrified when he realizes the misunderstanding. But no one's ever fed him so well, so completely... Avery is embarrassed but ready to be totally professional and gets down to his real job. the new feeder arrives and has a snit because Ozen no longer needs to feed right away...some OM drama from that whiny baby.
Mostly I enjoyed the growing respect and connection Avery and Ozen find with each other. They're grownups, they do their jobs, Avery is terrific at his job...and when the real feeder turns out to be a total slimeball, Avery winds up taking on the feeder position officially. But. Contracts. Lines are drawn. Rules. They must keep it oh, so professional.
HA HA HA HA HA HA.
I loved this. I really did. I guess it could have leaned in to unsafe territory because a confused Ozen genuinely tries to feed from someone, anyone, else (attempt off page, definitely does not happen), but truly can't, for said Reason, but, it never felt that way, my gut never dropped, it was so clear these two were #endgame for feeder-incubus, for boss-assistant, for respectful communication (except when a very confused Ozen starts acting totally beyond the pall getting frantic that something's wrong with him...but it just amped up the romantic conflict in a way I enjoyed...!) and for meant-to-be, no-one-else-will-do love. I ate it up.
Ozen's company partner and employees are fabulous secondary characters. Avery...huh, I actually don't think he had friends outside of work? And I don't remember who his family is? I wasn't paying attention, but, that might be underdeveloped. But I didn't care, I was having too much fun. One other criticism, we don't see ANY justice for the bigots in the office who were harassing Avery and giving him a hard time for being human, which does seem a big oversight, as Ozen was pissed about it. Too bad. But again, this book delighted me so much, I'm not taking off a star. Total re-read for me.
HEA, boss-employee, human-incubus, accidental sex feeding paranormal romance, fated-mates sensibility. No others, no cheating, no one else will do, literally physically. Could feel unsafe for some on that front, but, didn't for me, I loved it, no gut squirming. Highly recommended. More please.

Fun, hot and a lil' silly at times, but a great read.
May 16, 2025
Found this book randomly while browsing KU and ohhh boy am I glad I found it! I was shocked if never heard of it, and equally excited to find something new- started it right away.. and just didn’t stop reading. Avery is adorable and sweet and so perfect and thoughtful. Just a REALLY good and caring person. His boss, Ozen, and incubus doesn’t understand the draw he feels to this tiny human. Once ozen gets his head out of his ass (and, let’s admit sometimes even while it’s still up there) he’s so caring and wonderful to Avery (mostly), and has a slightly adorable grumpy side.
The spice in this is hot, the story is fun and entertaining. This was just such a fun read, I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!!! I need Taron to get his HEA!

mostly great but a 2 major issues…
Ok, most everything about this book is awesome. I loved both main characters, the spice was great (except I would’ve liked a scene or two where they leaned into the Sir aspect), and most of the supporting characters were fun and interesting to learn about.
HOWEVER (spoilers below)
As mentioned in the title of this review, there are several things that kept this from being a five star read for me. Firstly, why is it ok for Taron to leap over every boundary and decide consent (or lack thereof) doesn’t apply to him? He had Avery put to sleep without permission, invaded his home for days and refused to leave because Taron thought he knew best, and then stole Avery’s unfinished book. And Avery wasn’t nearly as upset about any of those things as he should’ve been. Taron never apologized, and was never taken to task about any of those things by Avery OR Ozen. It honestly was upsetting enough (for me) that it took quite a lot of the enjoyment out of the rest of the story.
And lastly, the people that bullied Avery on other floors in the building apparently got off scot free? I would’ve loved to see Ozen (or anyone) doing some yelling and firing over that.
All in all, I loved most things about this book, and I will reread it, but I will be skipping the parts where Taron goes way over the line, and I’m unable to rate this one higher than 3 stars. Enjoy!

Absolutely delightful!
Someone recced this since Im such a huge fan of the Goliaths of Wrestling series by Lily Mayne and this hit the perfect spot. While not as laugh out loud funny as Goliaths, this book was sweet & fun & sexy as hell. Definitely continuing on with the series.

(4.5/5) Seriously, how great is it when a book surprises you so much? This was really damn good.

I will admit I felt iffy about the whole humans being subjugated and discriminated against storyline, especially since our main character was a white man but this was still a fun filler read for me.

This gave Insta-love vibes which was fine.
It’s very similar to E.J Russell’s “Fae out of Water” series, entertaining but very predictable.

The characters are really bland and one-dimensional.
There's also too much fluff, as in, there are a lot of descriptions for things that could easily have been skipped or summarized. The author also seems to have the tendency to overexplain things, which adds to the amount of superfluous text.
I can overlook the fluff thing but unfortunately, I cannot get invested in these characters or their relationships, so I'm stopping here.

i was in a bit of an MM romance slump these past couple weeks but this cutie really pulled me out.
Incubus/human feeder + boss/assistant
lighthearted while still emotionally intense and hot enough to set the office on fire.
i loooove a good office romance and i’m happy the author dedicated the whole series to the theme.

My only two quibbles with this one were But despite these minor hiccups, it was bt FAR one of the best reads I've come across in a while, and I enjoyed it big time 😊

The kickoff to Amy Padillas new Charmed Away Temp Agency series. Ozen is an overworked incubus who tends to let his hunger take control vs. setting the right boundaries with his feeders. Avery, the new temp from Charmed Away Temp Agency, is mistaken for his new feeder, which leads to the beginning of this unique love story. They have instant work chemistry and pair well togehter to fill his needs. When things happen, Avery shows how understanding and compassionate he is for all species, even though at times. Let's be honest I question if Ozen deserves loyalty. It takes Ozen having a pretty brutal wake-up call to realize how much his choices affect both him and Avery. What makes Avery so great is that he just wants to be his own person and will do what's needed to help those around him. With a great cast of friends/ co-workers, I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next from this world.

The audio for this one was atrocious. Imagine The Butler called Winston or Albert in some murder drama reading a smutty scene. I had to put that away and switch to eye-reading because no way I could've finished this whilst ear-reading. Weirdly I didn't see anyone comment that on the Audible app, are y'all okay?
This was a fun little romance. Little substance but also not a lot to not like about it. I might read the sequels about the other couples, but I think I'd also be fine to leave this universe as is.

This was a good read with a slightly disappointing third act.
I am also still waiting for the workplace bullies to be dealt with. I'm not sure why this thread was left incomplete.

*Cue Prof. Farnsworth voice* GOOD NEWS EVERYONE, I’VE FOUND A NEW FAVOURITE AUTHOR!
Ohhhhh my gosh this was so so so good and I’m furious with myself for not starting this series sooner. This felt like if Lily Mayne’s ‘Impromptu Match’ and Grae Bryan’s ‘Inviting Bedlam’ got smushed together into its own totally unique and completely charming story. It was one of those books that had me squealing with joy when the characters finally admitted how they felt and I am a SUCKER for a paranormal finding their fated mate, like ugh, adore that.
It’s an office romance between hyper-competent human temping assistant Avery and hyper-competent Incubus CEO Ozen. If you have a competency kink, this book is gonna do things for you. Incubus’s have contracts with people who act as their ‘feeders’ - they have sexual relations with the Incubus so the Incubus is fed and the feeders get money (and pleasure). When Avery turns up for his first ad temping as an executive assistant, Ozen accidentally mistakes Avery as his new feeder… and suddenly Avery isn’t a 27-year-old virgin anymore more. When Ozen’s actual new feeder attempts to starve Ozen because of the misunderstanding, Avery jumps in to save his boss and volunteers to be his feeder instead.
The contract very clearly states that there should be no feelings or emotions between feeders and clients… but the more time Avery and Ozen spend together, the more the contract is at risk of being broken!
Aaahhh so good and I’m so excited to read everyone else’s books too - the side characters are all absolutely gorgeous and I’m so excited to see them meet their mates!!

I enjoyed this and it was very cute, but I really, really should have read it instead of listening to the audiobook. I just… yeah, I’m not the biggest fan of Joel Leslie’s style of narrating. But I was lacking in audio options and went with it anyway. I shouldn’t have. I think I’d have enjoyed it more. 🤷🏻♀️

I thought this was a good fun unique rom com. It had an interesting premise. Very steamy. But for a fun unique rom com, it was like 100 pages longer than it needed to be.

This was a fairly low-conflict novel. It also had a large quantity of spice, although it was all very brief and so not quite the quality I would prefer. Avery came off as a Mary Sue to me. Everything he did was perfect, including writing a romance novel called "The Incubus's Assistant."
I have a feeling that Padilla's writing just doesn't resonate much with me.

Really enjoyed this temporary assistant and Incubus office romance.
The writing style is easy reading, a mixture of low suspense, a sprinkling of humour, and a confident predictability that meant I was really happy to relax into the story.
There were a few loose ends and the presence of them throughout the story, alongside Ozen's selfishness, meant I never really fell for Ozen.
He knew quick feeds were dangerous and still did them, even after promising he wouldn't. He felt Avery's apartment was unsafe, and vowed to find him a better one, though didn't offer an alternative or his own house as a safer location meanwhile, whilst also never coming up with one. He didn't notice Avery getting sick, he didn't ask why he couldn't afford a better apartment, he didn't know he wrote romance... Ozen's friends took far more interest in Avery personally and the love side was a little lacking with that.
When you add in the bullies never getting punished - The bosses mate and the bosses best friends' mate was targeted and nothing was done? I wanted vengeance!
Though maybe that's just my bloodthirstiness 🤣
All in all, it left me wanting more for Avery.
What I will say, is the author can write a heck of a story for me to enjoy it so much and feel so strongly for Avery. I will definitely be reading on.

Wow this was such a cute little MM office romance. I absolutely DEVOURED this book and couldn’t put it down for a single second once i picked it up. It has the perfect amount of fun, yearning and spice and was overall just such a FUN read. Avery is adorable, Ozen may be a stubborn moron sometimes but he’s also such a sweetheart and bestie Taron is so funny. also firefly is such a cute pet name??? i’ve never heard it before but now i wish it was more common

Read for a group challenge. Incubus should pretty much be smut. This one was surprisingly innocent. Temp Avery and boss Ozen with the miscommunication. Shitty Feeder in the background who got off easy. I liked the support characters, so looking forward to them getting their mates. Ozen needed badgering. The father tried. Thank f*ck for the grandfather knowing things. Hungry patient incubus x eager professional virgin.

Read for a group challenge. Incubus should pretty much be smut. This one was surprisingly innocent. Temp Avery and boss Ozen with the miscommunication. Shitty Feeder in the background who got off easy. I liked the support characters, so looking forward to them getting their mates. Ozen needed badgering. The father tried.

While this started out really cute, and I was charmed by the office romance of it all and the world it was in. However, the characters just kinda stayed one dimensional and bland, the romance was a lot of spice, but I stopped caring. There was a lot of potential in the thin plot but the way it was done, yeah, just too bland, simple, and boring ultimately, for me. The writing just didn’t do it for me I suppose.
