How Not to Pursue Your Human Perfectionist
Not yet published
Expected 9 Apr 26A possessive grump, a chaotic sunshine, and a nerdy perfectionist walk into a bar.
Stolen from her home, Rosalind wakes in the demon realm determined to help the other humans start their new lives. Between laws, ledgers, and lists, Rose doesn’t have time for frivolous activities like courting when she’s desperate to prove herself. Still, one night of not thinking about her work won’t hurt, and there are two handsome demons willing to help her forget.
But what if the real challenge is forgetting them?
After waking up to find the beautiful human gone, Lazerath is devastated. One night has never been a problem before, but Rosalind is The One, and now Laz has the chance to court his soulbonded alongside his best friend. Even if Davarox and Rosalind are far too smart for him, Laz won’t let his insecurities interfere with his two most precious relationships.
Everything is perfect, so why does he still feel like something in his life is missing?
Davarox has been in love with his best friend since they met, but the happy, outgoing Lazerath—Dav’s complete opposite—has no idea. Dav has pined from a safe distance, protecting Laz and their bakery while making sure the demon never feels hardship. But one shared night with the brilliant and fearless Rosalind has stirred a new possessive desire within Dav, and he’s dangerously close to revealing all his secrets… if Rosalind’s keen observation doesn’t unravel them first.
Between work and heart, loneliness and joy, secrets and love, the three must learn to explore their changing dynamic… together.
How Not to Pursue Your Human Perfectionist is a MMF polyamorous cozy demon romance and contains consensual romantic relationships between all three characters.
For fans of fantasy monster romance, cozier fantasy, and queer stories, join Laura Winter and AK Caggiano in the Falling for Demons series of interconnected standalones, set in the same fantasy world. Follow six humans and their budding romances with the demons they once feared in a cozy, spicy setting.

I love Rose, Laz and Dav so much!! This book was perfectly cozy with great spice. I’ll read anything Laura Winter writes.
Review of advance copy received from Author
Each of the Falling for Demons books so far have been teasing Rosalind's brilliance, and her book does not disappoint. The perfectionist who started the entire Human-Demon foster situation is every bit as motivated and driven as all the other characters think.
Her struggle is *moderation*. Im sure not a single person reading this has ever struggled with "one more chapter" or "one more (insert food item here)".
Focussing on Davarox and Lazerath as Bakers at the Lovable Loaf, missing bits of the Mystery of Achreos Barrens are filled in while the throuple navigate their feelings and needs.
I was delightfully surprised by the care given to the BDSM dynamic and the new things we learn about demon anatomy.
in my opinion, this is the best look yet at the people of Heck. (im a big BDSM girlie and also poly tho, so YMMV).
I cannot wait to get my peepers on Elliran's story to finalise the whole series - though they can be read standalone.

I read this in one sitting, I could not put it down. Words cannot express how much I love this series and how much it has become such a fun, cozy read for me. I was dying for a Laz book…boy did Laura deliver and then some;)
