A cute spicy little romance with body positivity. Tabi was bold and playful; unafraid to go for what she wanted once she girded her lady balls, and she wanted the hot dadbod demon. Kaz was awkward and sweet, with not great self esteem but a dirty mouth. There was little plot and a lot of cozy smut.

Spice: 5/5

Triggers: mention of past body insecurity, insecurity about age

This is a novella in the Ghostlight Falls series, and features demon Kaz, the local pet store owner, and Tabitha, a relatively new-ish human resident to Ghostlight Falls.

Kaz loves his job running Ruff N Tumble, the local pet shop. Life is good…except that whenever he runs into his crush Tabi, he always ends up awkward and fumbling. One day, a mischievous foxkin brings Kaz and Tabi together. Turns out that Tabi likes Kaz just as much as he likes her, and she decides to shoot her shot.

Suddenly, awkward and shy Kaz is anything but timid when things heat up between him and Tabi.

This was a short, sweet, and sexy story. I really loved these characters, especially the creatures Arlo and Mochi! The heat between Kaz and Tabi is fire in this drama free read that will keep you smiling (and/or panting) the entire time. And the epilogue!! It made me so happy.

Four stars because this was a fun little steamy story that added to the mythos of Ghostlight Falls.

The turtle has a balloon!!! Yes, the novel is spicy and delicious, and oh, so sweet, but did you hear the turtle has a balloon!!! Came for the romance, left with an obsession of Arlo the turtle.

Short and sweet little demon love story! Kaz is a demon that has had a crush on Tab ever since she moved to town. When luck (foxkin) brings them together in a rather muddy situation, Tab knew she had to make her move. They end up on a date and the rest is pure spice sweetness 🥰

Taking a Tumble by Clover Holloway

Okay babes, gather round because this was a short, spicy lil’ novella snack from the Ghost Light Falls series and I devoured it like it was midnight drive-thru McNuggets.

We’ve got Kaz – the ruff n’ tumble pet store owner, complete with dad bod glory (mmm yes please), he’s older, demon-coded, sweet as pie but then opens his mouth and it’s straight-up filth. Sir, who gave you the right? Also he’s been crushing on Tabi since forever and honestly? Same, king.

And then we’ve got Tabi – our plus-size human queen who’s like “actually, imma take what I want,” and what she wants is Kaz. Girl said no slow burn, just burn and honestly bless her because whew.

This book? Short, spicy, and had me kicking my feet like a lovesick teenager.

BUT THE REAL STAR… ARLO. THE DEMON TURTLE. 🐢🔥
I would die for this turtle. I want one. Someone manifest me a demon turtle immediately. Forget Kaz, give me Arlo.

Overall: 5/5 turtle shells, 10/10 demon daddy vibes.

If you would’ve told me that a novella about a dad-bod demon who runs a pet shop and has a crush on a human girl would be so hot I melted I don’t know if I would’ve believed you but then I read this story and WOW! Hot hot hot. Also super cute and what is it with all the animal companions in Ghostlight falls, they are simply just too adorable, a demon turtle who wears a red ballon and is called Arlo, I mean come on that’s adorable!

Wait…why was this so cute?! Super short, very sweet and spicy! Books with demon MMCs usually aren’t my jam, but Kaz was adorable. I also love an FMC who takes charge, Tabi is confident and self aware.

There wasn't a single thing about this I didn't love with my whole heart. It may have only taken me an hour to read it but this will be living in my head rent free for years to come.

Kaz'ron is just a super sweet demon that owns a pet shop in Ghostlight falls. Some people have described him as awkward af but that really comes to the surface every time he's around Tabitha. For the last year she has been in Ghostlight Falls and Kaz has been crushing haaaaard. He never could have imagined she's been oogling him too. With some fresh found confidence after a mid day shower 😏 Tabitha asks Kaz out and to both of their surprise he says yes.

A date to a 90s concert in the park is the perfect set up for these two and from there is picks up hottttt and heavy as they navigate their longstanding, unspoken desires. She never anticipated the filthy mouthed daddy energy from the hot dad bod demon and he never anticipated the inner slvt that sat right under the surface of the gorgeous curvy human that has kept him captivated since he first saw her.

Adorable animal sidekicks always get an honorable mention. Arlo and Mochi are the perfect animal bbs and yay for Mochi's antics that led to Kaz ass first in a puddle covered in mud 😂😍

The interactions were cute, the date was cute, the epilogue was the cutest omfg (this is always what I want😂😂😂) but with the cute came a lot of 🥵🥵🥵🥵 too
2 🍆🍆, hidden piercings on both MCs, dirty talk, dom vibes, nipple play, fingering, squirting, cum play
Take the hour, read the story, enjoy the memories 🥰🖤

An awkward meet-cute, straight out of a Hallmark movie, pushes Kaz, the shy pet store owning demon, towards Tabitha the curvy 90’s loving girl he has been admiring from afar.

I love the cute dynamic between Kaz and Tabitha, they balance each other perfectly. We don’t get too many side characters in this quick, spicy read, but the pets! Arlo and Mochi are super cute!

This book is all about the vibes! Sweet, smutty and a little awkward, perfect for an easy reading romance. The story is fast paced but still full enough that you feel you know the characters. Clover Holloway has written’real’ characters with adorable flaws making them relatable.

Keep an eye out for the park scene - Kaz really comes into his own on their first date, showing us what he is made of!

Taking a Tumble is more smut than plot, but in the most entertaining way! Perfect for readers who love sweet romance, cute animal side kicks but with a side of insta-lust smut to keep you on your toes

Only in Ghostlight Falls could a double peen'd demon with a dad-bod fall head over heels for a tattooed bombshell, all while a horned turtle with a balloon steals the show. We will always love Arlo.

Kaz is an demon who would rather keep his head down and run Ruff’N Tumble, his quirky pet shop. He’s convinced that someone as gorgeous and confident as Tabitha is way out of his league. But Tabi knows what she wants and that's Kaz. Their meet-cutes are messy, their banter is hilarious, and their chemistry is off the charts.

This book has everything I love: magical animals, cheeky humor, and more spice than plot. The romance is equal parts sweet and sizzling. It’s cozy, it’s chaotic, it’s spicy, and it left me grinning like an idiot. Ghostlight Falls continues to prove that no matter how weird things get, love always finds a way.

Thank you to the author for an advanced copy of this book.

Still in my Ghostlight Falls era! This paranormal town where everyone is accepted is a combination of a Hallmark movie and late night Cinemax and I love it here. Never want to leave.

Things you should know:
🐸 2 🍆🍆
🐸 demon x human
🐸 🐢🦊 sidekicks
🐸 appreciation for 90’s music cause these characters are adults!
🐸 grand romantic gestures
🐸he’s gonna make her 💦

This is the sweetest and spiciest love story. Kaz is an awkward demon who doesn’t know how to approach human Tabi, and I loved that she has to make the first move. But once she does? He oh-so-enthusiastically is IN it! These characters are mature, relatable, and delightfully down to get dirty. Plus, Arlo the turtle has a balloon and there’s a misbehaving foxkin named Mochi who is responsible for the muddiest meet cute.

Kaz, the sweet demon with a dad-bod, who also owns the local pet store, has been crushing on a human named Tabi ever since she moved to Ghostlight Falls. He always seems to be a fumbling, awkward mess around her. When they realize their feelings are mutual, sweet (and hot) bumbling adventures begin.

Omggggg adorable. The sweet awkwardness of Kaz (MMC) with each interaction with Tabi (FMC) that suddenly turns so assured and spicy once he realizes she likes him?! This was such a cozy, Hallmark vibe meet-cute with spice. And adorable side animal characters. I loved Arlo!!!! I loved every moment of this novella.

-awkward MMC, take charge FMC
-slight age gap
-so many piercingssss
-double pp
-curvy MCs
-most adorable, non-interfering pets
-less than 70 pages
-explicit spice

Oh. My. Heart.

I’m not sure who I have stolen my heart more… Arlo the cutest little demon turtle (yes you read that right), Mochi the ornery little foxkin, or this absolutely adorable couple!

These two MCs had me so giddy with their banter and awkwardness… it was amazing!

And I mean seriously a total bombshell of a woman who goes after what she wants?!

And a demon that is sweet, yet dirty talks that is
so hot it will incinerate your panties?!

Oh and can we also just take a moment to appreciate that not one but TWO of my favorite tropes are in this book!!

I’m not going to spoil them for you, but IYKYK.

This not-so-sleepy little town has quickly become one of my favorites!

Sweet pet shop owner Kaz has had a crush on Tabi since she moved to town about a year ago. But it takes a meddling foxkin and a tumble in the mud for the two of them to finally find the courage and take the leap on their blossoming feelings.
Love me an MMC who's shy in the streets and a monster in the sheets. Short, effing cute and so hot it'll melt your underwear....go take a chance on a charming monster small town and visit Ghostligt Falls asap!!

Kaz was so awkward it was so easy to love him straight away!
Tabi loved Kaz's awkwardness but she knew she had to be the one to take the bull by the horns so to say.. so she pulled out all the stops and the rest is history!
I've loved everytime I've been in Glasgow Falls.. maybe it's time for me to move in permanently!

I was expecting a spicy fun time when I got this book. I wasn’t expecting to also cry big gangster tears at the ending of this book 🥲🥲
This was such a cute cozy and spicy romance book. If you love demon X human, dual peens or an awkward meet cute you’ll enjoy this book!

Arlo and Mochi are the best. They are THE BEST. A demon turtle with a balloon tied to his back so they know where he is in the store!!! Yes all day yes. Also the story is very sweet. Both a little shy both a little wary but ultimately so easy to root for them. Also… it’s always the quiet ones ya know…

This was absolutely adorable!!! I loved this super cute cozy romance!

The pets, the 90s references, and the letters!!!! There was so much to love. Kaz & Tabi are so sweet and awkward for each other while also being pierced and tatted! This was very much a fun little romance with more characters and locations of Ghostlight falls unlocked! Also I must acquire a pet from Ruff & Tumble!

This one was SO good. It tied in multiple locations and characters in Ghostlight Falls. Which was amazing. It was smutty and exciting to read. I devoured it in less than 45 minutes I think. It was sweet and cute too. So much packed into so few pages. I would totally read a more full-on book about these two from this author in particular and I am 100% going to check out more of her works.

Dad-bod sporting Demon is in love with beautiful curvy woman but too awkward to do anything about it. Beautiful curvy woman is also interested and starts them down a steamy little path. Author's note is not wrong, mostly smut but a cute love story on the side. I'm obsessed with this series.

Arlo and Mochi are the real stars of this sweet and spicy story!

Kaz and Tabi are adorable together! I love how Tabi takes control of the situation when she sees that Kaz needs a bit of a push to see his feelings towards her are very welcome 😏 The scavenger hunt is the cutes and #couplegoals! Another sweet and spicy HEA in Ghostlight Falls!

Do you know what's better than a demon with two peens? A demon with two PIERCED peens 🫠

Clover, we gotta talk about Kaz because holy hell I was not expecting this shy, awkward man to melt me into a puddle. Excuse you and his filthy mouth! He's adorable as a whole, but once that switch flipped.....oof

I absolutely adored Tabi, too! Always love a take charge woman, and she was so much fun to read. Bless her and her ladyballs lol

Taking a Tumble isn't real plot heavy, but it's a spicy gem with heat and heart and lots of body positivity!
