Smut for a good cause. What could be sweeter than that?

I could read a full book about them.

[Eternity's Raven · Rating 4 out of 5]

Short, cute, spicy and written for a good cause. In other words? Delightful.

Honestly think this would have made a cute full length standalone.

short and spicy

This is a very short story, it only took me about 20 minutes! A.K. honestly has no misses for me so far. If you are looking for a quick read with some good romance scenes, this is for you. And even though it is less than 7000 words, the characters actually have depth which I appreciate. I also really really love this universe, I love how the author keeps coming back to it!

[Susan Harper · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely adore this short story!

And, because this was so good, I read the Falling For Demons series. I've already pre-ordered the last 2 books and am counting the days till they are available.

A. K. Caggiano's writing is so much fun! If Terry Pratchett and Piers Anthony had gotten together to write fun-filled, spicy romantasy, her books are what you'd get!

Grabbing this novella was a no-brainer for me, it's by one of my favorite authors and the proceeds go to the ACLU.

This was short, cute and honestly I could read an entire novel about these two to get all the back story that lead to the moment in the book. The yearning, and all the cupidity. Just do yourself a favor and go run and grab this short, spicy read for a good cause!

If you’re looking for a short (around 30 pgs) story of smutty cupids please pick this up. Fun short read that made me smile.

(Also this author is donating all the proceeds from this short story to the ACLU.💘)

[Marilyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

I bought this because the author is donating all proceeds to ACLU, but I ended up really loving it! Only about 30 pages, so I highly recommend checking it out. I’ll definitely be reading more from this author in the future!

I love A.K. Caggiano’s writing so much. Even though it was super short, it was every bit as enjoyable as her full length novels. Breaking the fourth wall, hilarious puns and double entendres, unique world building; she’s so good at what she does!

cute and short

It’s a very short story (20 something pages). It’s spicy and sweet. Two lovable cupids victims of their own magic.

[Cynthia · Rating 3 out of 5]

An adorable short story and all proceeds go to the ACLU? Fuck yeah.

[Kristen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very short. Cute. It’s on Kindle Unlimited and the author is donating all the proceeds to the ACLU.

[Hannah · Rating 5 out of 5]

cute, light and very sweet. An easy little story to devour.

I would have given this 5 stars just for the authors note at the beginning.

[Val · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was cute, and I just love this author's fourth-wall-breaking humor.

[Tein · Rating 4 out of 5]

All proceeds are donated to the ACLU at the end of every month. So even if you are not interested in two cupids, it’s still worth the read.

[Katelyn Murphy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Super cute for what it was

[kazbrekker22 · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ofc I’ll read whatever AK Caggiano writes but especially if proceeds go to charity and she puts “fuck ICE” in the author’s note

[a garza · Rating 5 out of 5]

I would have loved a full length book on this romance! Short, sweet, & smutty…what more could a girl ask for. 5/5!!

[Anxietea · Rating 4 out of 5]

Offer me smut AND tell me it's for a good cause? Alright, twist my arm.
