I’m desperate to pop my cherry. My fated mates are just as desperate to claim me. But my wonky magic makes it impossible to do "it" even after being together for a whole year! With nothing left to lose, I turn to the one person who could my neighbor, Juniper, the town’s dildo witch. But when we turn to dark magic, things go terribly… limp. And not just for my fated mates and Juniper’s men—but for the entire town. If we don’t reverse the spell by midnight, the town’s *ahem* bananas will stay deflated forever. I’ll be stuck with my v-card, and no one in the town will ride a man’s *ahem* broomstick ever again. Deflated is a reverse harem novella in the Silver Springs shared universe and comes with a happily ever after. Scroll up to read this fun, quirky romance today.
Mia Harlan lives in Canada with her husband (who’s definitely Not a Vampire) and their adorably fluffy cat. They recently welcomed a Mini Mortal (a baby girl) and are happy to report she doesn't have fangs.
Mia is a librarian by day and an author by night. She's been reading romance since she turned 13 and published her first novel in mid-2019. She writes humorous, quirky (and mostly paranormal) reverse harem romance as Mia Harlan. She also plans to start publishing teen paranormal romance as Mia Meade once her Mini Mortal is a tad older and she can get back to her writing routine.
I did like Violet's story but this was another one that felt like it had been hijacked by Juniper and her store again. I didn't like how Violet's mates tried to scare her at the beginning. Happy it all worked out for them.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I don't know how Mia and Eva do it. I have no idea what happens when those two come together to discuss story ideas. They come up with the most ridiculous plots, but the most impressive thing is that they make these plots work somehow. Every new story, every new book, written by them I start a little afraid. What issues will they throw at us this time? How weird is it gonna be this time? And that only worsened when I got my arc for this book.
They've done it again though. Once more they deliver a story with a crazy plot and somehow they still make it work. From start to finish the story is amusing, entertaining and it's almost impossible to put it down when you start reading. That's partly because the characters in the story are just too funny, but it's mostly because the plot is strangely enough quite gripping, even if it's the kind of plot we've seen more often in Juniper focussed stories.
I was especially in love with Violet's storyline in this story. I know that for a lot of people smut and sex is something that just happens. They don't ask themselves all those questions, they don't panic. I quite liked how things weren't easy for Violet and her guys. How they had issues and were struggling so long with it because they actually didn't dare talking about it. We don't talk enough about sex. A lot of people would have a much happier sex life if it wasn't taboo.
If you've read Violet and Juniper and fell in love with the characters, it's nice to see them again and to catch up with their lives. And even though this is only a novella, all characters get some attention and some moments to show themselves. Although, most of the focus is on the girls and their challenges in this story. I was also quite pleasantly surprised that our local Bob made an appearance. Every book is better with Bob in it.
I read this in the Into The Dark anthology, and I'm glad to see it getting it's own release now! You know when Mia and Eva get together, you're in for chaos in the best possible way! This follows on from Violet, the first of the Spell Library books and ties up with Juniper, who owns the Magical Rooster. Violet and her mates are having issues that require Juniper's help, but of course nothing goes right and they end up against the clock to find a happy ending not just for them, but for the whole town! It's fun and chaotic and I love shared universes where you get cameos from other books popping up, it rounds everything out!
I really like Violet and her guys, the first book was great, but this isn't really a continuation to their story. It's nice to see them all interacting with each other and to see how their dynamic works, the way the first book ended we really didn't see that, just the potential. So that part was great to experience.
Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for a short and simple plot based book. It might have been better if it had more spice, but that's not the driving factor to this one.
I also wasn't a fan of the duel POV between Violet and Juniper. Again that might just be me though. I wasn't a huge fan of Junipers book, so I skimmed her parts to get back to Violets. I did like the little cameo of Sapphire and Bob though, always a good laugh when they're around!
This short story is HILARIOUS. It should be read after Mia's book, Violet, and Eva's book, Juniper. There's a couple of issues that Violet, Juniper, and even Sapphire are dealing with. Poor Violet has spent the last year trying to be intimate with her mates, but her shifting goes haywire every time they try. When she finally girds up her loins and visits The Magical Rooster for help, a spell is accidentally cast that causes all the "swords and staffs" in Silver Springs to deflate (go limp).
I was laughing out loud at everyone's antics. I was excited to see Bob and - gasp! - nobody told him, "Not now, Bob." I'm so happy with these two authors working their mojo together. I'm excited to see what they do next.
Deflated by Mia Harlan and Eva Delaney is the second Violet book in the Spell Library Series. Boy, I seriously love when Mia and Eva get together and create some havoc. This installment was awesome. Plenty of fun, laughter and wonky magic to go around. Leave it to Violet and her magic to cause a performance outage in our favourite town...Especially when she really needs the performance to work... if that's not enough to entice you to read this book, throw in some very sexy mates, and some favourite residents to help like Juniper and it's a guaranteed hit. These two can't miss when the put their heads together!!!
You know when mia and eva are co Wrighting together it's going to be a good one. Laugh after laugh with each chapter read with our favourite characters from jewels cafe. violet and her wonky chameleon magic that has her guys frustrated and left with only one option. The magical roster were we meet Juniper and her guys who just make me laugh so mush. With sammy with his dislike for technology. To sweet Oscar and his love of knowledge. And shakes with his declarations of love which was so cute. All joining together in this magical sexy tale that fans of the silver springs universe are going to love. And you'll definitely won't want to miss out.
Ah, I am so glad I read this book. I feel I need a silver spring book every few days. This one was so good. Violet and her mates, Juniper and her mates, and a little cameo of sorts from few other Silver springs characters (all of whom my favourites)...I just loved it. This was fun, quirky, steamy, adorable. Tension was high for the few chapters. I liked how it ended. But, I am sad it ended. I wish to read more of these characters. Nice work from the authors with the multiple POVs.
What starts out as a way for Juniper to help Violet get some sexy times with her mates but it goes south (quite literally!!) for her mates as well as all the males in Silver Springs. With a few characters from other SS books thrown into this book too. As per usual its handled with plenty of laughs. You cant help but love these characters which i do. Its another bonkers read but highly entertaining thats for sure and i really liked it
This was such a fun and quirky read and a great story to bring me back into the Silver Springs world :D This story, I laughed so much! We get time with previous characters, steam, wonky magic and just a highly entertaining reading ride. These authors do not write 'mainstream' stories, and for that, I'm thankful. I can't say enough about how enjoyable this book was and it prompted me to start re-reading the other Silver Springs books again. Good fun!
Hillarious! This quirky romance had me laugh out loud so many times I lost count. I have a hard time finding worthy authors who make me laugh as much as these do. Will Violet ever lose her "flower"? Will the erectile dysfunction issue ever be solved? Or will the aubergines stay flaccid forever? I highly recommend getting this asap to find out.
This book was an amazing read that had me glued to it from the moment that I started. It moves along at a great pace which is perfect for the flow of the story. It has amazing characters that feel so real that you cant help but love them. This book has to be on your TBR list, you will not be sorry that you did.
Well done Mia and Eva I laughed so many times throughout this book. Once again Violet gets herself into a situation and goes to Juniper for help and things go wonky. Both Vis and June's guys provided some great laughs along with Sapphire and Bob. If you want a great book that has lots of laughs that you can't put down I highly recommend this one.
What a fun and hilarious read and a great addition to the series. There's never a dull moment when Jupiter is involved I could barely breathe from laughing so much. Overall a fantastic read so looking forward to the next Silver Springs. As always my reviews are totally voluntarily and no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are completely my own.
“This story was hilarious!! Silver Springs is under attack again well somehow. Every time things are back to normal sooner rather than later a new curse attacks town again. Juniper saving the day and her mates all deserves a huge shoutout! I’m already missing them. This town never surprise to amaze me. Can’t wait for more stories and new adventures.”
Brilliant read. Violet has spent a wonderful year with her men, but they are just struggling to connect and violet has had enough. The magical rooster must have something to help..but in fact one little badly worded spell makes the whole town go a little limp and well thats not what a girl needed right now.. . Brilliant read.
Once again a curse strikes the town and takes all the enjoyment away this time. Juniper and Violet need to work together with their men to get some pep back into the place. Loved the mention of other Townes and their guys.
If it's not one thing it's another. Violet finally finds an answer to her virginity problem when a spell casually read leaves all the guys in Silver Springs deflated. Can Juniper and her mates save the day? Clock's ticking and they only have until sundown.
When spells and curses take away the swords. Violet just wanted to stop shifting when she was having fun with her men. Juniper just wanted to help her friend. Soon all new problems will happen and will lead them and their men on an insane and funny as hell search to find the cure.
Once again this book stands up to the expectations of what Silver Springs is. I could barely breath from laughing so much. I loved reading this book. Juniper and Violet are such wonderful characters. I look forward to what comes next in Silver Springs.
This was so funny I couldn’t help but laughter at times. I felt sorry for Violet and her mates not being able to be together properly because of her shifting, and Juniper for potentially losing her store. I love how both things went right in the end though and glad we got to hear more from Violet.
This book is a very funny chapter in the Spell Library series. It focuses on Violet & her three guys but also on Juniper & her three, as Violet needs her help. You see Violet wants help to keep her from shifting at inopportune moments!
When Oscar unwittingly casts a curse that makes the whole town deflate, Violet, Juniper and their mates have to work against the clock to prevent the curse from becoming permanent. Another Silver Springs winner. So many hilarious quips and a heavy dose of spice, I really enjoyed reading this one!
I love this series. The authors are amazing. I love how funny they can write.
Poor Violet has been mated for quite some time. Her pesky chameleon powers are getting in the way of making that mating be a full mating. It is difficult when she keeps changing forms when she wants to have fun with her mates. In comes Juniper to the rescue, maybe. Will things inflate again?
I absolutely loved reading deflated it was funny and then wee bit sad the characters were perfect. You got to love juniper and her mates as well as violet the young one LOL and her mates.
Another great book that is sure to keep you amused until the very end. The characters are wonderfully quirky and the situations they get themselves in are great.
Poor Oscar...he just didn't know. Poor Violet... She just wants to lose her v-card. Poor Swords...they just want to get hard again! Great little story!!
