Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
This golden retriever demon is a real sweetheart, and you’ll be captivated by his charm! I was completely hooked and couldn’t stop reading. Shade is not only kind but also has a sweet tooth. And that sweet tooth brings him to Remmie, the person who makes the most delicious treats! Shade also may say she has the best treat in town😉🤭
I absolutely adore Remmie and Shade together! Their chemistry is just amazing. I couldn’t help but laugh, giggle, and even fan myself while reading this book. If you’re in the mood for something sweet, spicy, and a little danger, this is definitely the book for you!

Perfect morsel
Shade (a demon) and Remmie's(who thinks she's just human) story has everything. Funny Rom-Com moments, great storyline and of course spice.
The carefree Himbo Demon with the semi-serious hard working Remmie created some sexy tension and boy was that scene when it all came together great.
I will never look at icing the same again hahahah. Cannot wait to see more from Serene City and the other characters this author has offer. Also after reading, I definitely have a craving for Cinnamon rolls 😋

OMG!!!! This book was so amazing. I’m usually not a big fan of demon/monster books but Renee wrote it so well that I loved. Remmie and Shade are truly meant to be and they definitely made me tear up a bit. Can’t wait for more! Would love to get a story about Marla!!! Also can’t wait for C A Renee to hit it big
