I knew I would love this book from the moment the author kept talking on tiktok about the fact one of the men in this book is an over-protective, unhinged bisexual with a love of knives. I have a type. I am very much aware.
There is so much I loved about this book. The men (Luc, Nox, and Levi) all have very distinct personalities and likes. Della has a wonderful character arc. The story has a very fun plot, with twists and turns that kept me completely invested the entire time.
The fact it is set in small town Texas was a bonus to me that I apparently FORGOT? I very rarely like books set in Texas because they can be either VERY Stereotypical Texas (derogatory), or very hyper conservative Texas (also derogatory). This was neither. This definitely had that air of the small town Texas I currently live around, and it was so refreshing to read something that actually felt positive about us for once :)
And don't get me STARTED on the spice. The SPICE. Listen, I love me some spicy books. I love why-choose. I read alll across the spectrum here. However, I am still sometimes disappointed in the number (or lack of) uh shared activities with the woman, and also in the lack of shared activities with the men that I tend to see in why-choose books. Like, you mean to tell me, in some books there are multiple men, all banging the same woman, sometimes watching, and none of them are bisexual or have any contact with each other? In this day and age? Seems sus to me.
BUT NOT IN THIS BOOK. Sara understood the assignment. And we are WELL FED here, okay? Don't believe me? Check out the sex index at the back of the book once pubbing date arrives ;)
This book was such a fun ride. A lot of this book will live rent FREE in my skull for the foreseeable future.
This book is 18+, and check those tw/cw. There's a bit of darkness in here.

Review: Della on a night out with her friends meets a guy named Luc they end up hooking up as a one night stand and she thought she wouldn't see him again . Then she gets a job as a vet on a farm and meets Levi and Nox .She goes on a date with Levi and almost gets assaulted Levi kills him . I love all the guys Luc aka Lucifer doesn't want to get close Della after what happened with Thea. Nox finds out what happened with Della parents how they died right before her 13th birthday and that her mom always use to talk about witch's. Nox and Della hook up soo hot all these men are . They believe Della to be the right witch for the sacrifice before with Thea she only preferred only Lucifer and nox and Levi were bonus but Della loves them all . She also finds out her best friend Callie is her familer. Della has been receiving threatening notes and Callie ends up being killed and Della gers taken . The guys find her and torture the demon who did it . The ritual worked but then ambrose and the other demon took her again .

Della, the FMC, has a one-night stand, with a very sexy Luc, who she met while out with friends. The following day, life is back to normal, and a potential client looking for a vet requests her presence at their home. While on-site she meets Knox and Levi, both of whom show her a lot of interest.
The guys- Luc, Knox, and Levi have been through this before. They know what is fated and what happened last time. This left Luc devastated and fearful of doing what is required. They just know she is the key to fixing the cracks, but is it worth the possibility of losing her?
Ugh, I loved these men and the way they are with Della as well as each other. This book is beautifully written and the suspense of what would happen next kept me from putting it down. They needed her but she needed to process everything. She fell for them hard, which made her different from the last girl they lost.
This book ends on a cliffhanger, but is soooo worth it! Highly recommend
This book was heavy with the smut, light with the plot. I felt like we were missing more of the backstory as I read on. Almost seemed as if I had amnesia and had forgotten things but I was treated like I should know what’s going on.
With that being said, this book kept me engaged. Whenever I wasn’t reading it I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I feel like in the beginning of the year was when I started to see it get marketed and I’ve had it stuck in my head ever since.
I wish that we got more of the daily things around the ranch, or even just Della finding them doing tasks around the ranch. Or if they had ranch hands show them talking to them.
Thank you, Sara, for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.
⭐️⭐️⭐️✨/5 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
I was first enraptured by this because well… Lucifer and his demons, a woman, MMFM?! Absolutely. Count me in!
You’ve got 🔥 why choose 🔥 one night stand ends up being more 🔥 PNR 🔥 kinky scenes
I also appreciate Sara for having an ending section for the spicy scenes. 😂
There’s probably about 75% spice, 25% plot. The book is a great story, but could use a little polishing and more detail in some areas. The climax doesn’t really seem “climaxish” until the end. This is a cliffhanger, friendly heads up! But I believe it’s just a duet. So not the worst news.
I'm not 100 percent sure how I feel about this book. I guess I'll say I wanted more in the plot.?
The plot is a cool concept and I wanted it flushed out a bit more. I kinda knew I was hopping on the instalust/love train and I'm okay with that but I wanted more development and the book has the bare bones for it.
Also I feel like all the recent RH's have MM, and honestly it's opening up the discussion of sexuality and exploration in an interesting way but it's not my thing. I feel like every book I read now has it and I just don't know if it makes sense on every story. Again, if it's your thing go for it, it's just not mine.

I really started off liking this book which is why I’m giving it 2 stars. But, there was just no real build up to one of the main plot points, then it’s just as quickly resolved. She’s suddenly a badass who can torture when there was none of that shown in the first 80% of the book. Idk it started off good but then just went way off track.
I saw a bunch of tiktoks for this book that had me intrigued. I really liked the first half of this boom, but it seemed like Della's character progressed in such a weird way. I was prepared for her to turn into a knife welding torture expert. The pacing was just a little off for me. However, I do want to read book two and find out what happens to everyone.
was hooked from the start! loved the MFC and the 3 MMCs. a little bit of twists and turns. sadness, spice, a bit funny. loved the description of things. character development was great! spice was 3/5, book was a 5 star read for me! ends on a cliffy though so be prepared for that! loved it!
Holy. This book has a amazing plot, tons of spice and I love me a good why choose. Throw in the devil, a witch and hells court and I am sold sold sold. I don’t know how I am supposed to wait for the 2nd book. I couldn’t put this down and devoured it.
*Immediate post-read thoughts: OMG 🤩😍 I ATE. THIS. UP!!!! It was so freakin good, had me squealing and just gettin all sorts of giddy and hot/bothered!!! DAMN! And that ending!!! Ahhh!!!!!! 🥹😱 I need book 2 immediately!!!! 😭 Longer review to follow soon!!!! 😁
what do you get when you take the devil and two of his court members and add him a witch who is meant to be theirs for the rest of eternity?
It was a fun and fast paced book with the dirty mouth Men from the underworld and the witch who can tame them. I enjoyed it and can't wait for book two!!
Great read. Loved the characters. Great story. Was hooked from the start. Why choose romance. Spice was a 3/5 book was 5/5 for sure. Beware of the cliffhanger.
I need the second one! This was amazing. RH, smutty and an actual interesting plot. I can't wait for the next book. I think I found a new favorite author.
