This book was so much fun! I really enjoyed the characters and I thought that the demons were hilarious. I loved seeing them try to fit in with human society. The romance in this was so cute and I loved how it developed. I really enjoyed the storyline and I can’t wait to see where the rest of this series goes.

No way a masterpiece in its genre. But my Gods is it not so much fun. This book knows what it is and it does it in the silliest way. I had a wonderful time. It's spicy because duh of course the Lust Demon romance is going to be. It's humor wasn't always for me but it definitely hit on some moments. An adorable love story to say the least.
Oddly enough, I was super invested in the parents love story more at the end. This is a series so crossing my fingers on a prequel/sequel <3

While this book. My funny valentine demon, didn’t turn out to by my cup of tea, I can say with confidence that the story had a lot of good parts to it.

I really enjoyed this book. I liked Eva and and thought that she was enduring as a FMC. The world building was fun and modern. I really liked Ash. His relationship with Eva was super sweet and I loved how protective he was of her. The brothers were absolutely hilarious, their quips to each other had me giggling out loud. They were so protective of each other and even though they didn't show it in the majority of the book, it really shined when it mattered. I liked the little twist at the end and liked that it slid more pieces into place. Side note Eva's mom Jackie is my favorite character in the whole book. And I felt bad for the way that things turned out for her.

I picked this up because I wanted a silly bubblegum valentines read and I got SO MUCH more than I expected!!

My Funny Demon Valentine is a laugh-out-loud story of Ash, a demon who has recently escaped Hell and trying to adjust to Earth while suffering from an ancient curse that means no one who could even potentially be attracted to him can see him as anything but boring and bland, and jazz musician Eva who is the only one in thousands of years to see him properly.

The two start dating and making sweet music together (😉) before all Hell breaks loose - literally. Ash and his brothers are being hunted down to be dragged back to Hell and now Eva is caught up in the drama and danger and discovers her new boyfie is actually a 7 foot tall red dude with horns and wings.

I did not expect the fantasy elements and plot of this book to be so good. This was clearly very well thought out and while drawing on existing characters/legends, Ascher has put such an original spin on this that it feels fresh and original.

I loved the relationship between Eva and her mum, it was sooooooooo lovely to see open and honest communication between them. On the subject of relationships, the BROTHERS! Omg I loved their dynamic so much. The banter had me in stitches, and the name calling just felt so realistic I loved it so much.

So this read has gone from something I thought would be a little bit of fun on Valentine’s Day to an “omg when and where can I get the rest of this series because I NEED all the other demons stories immediately”

Thank you so much NetGalley, Kensington Publishing and Aurora Ascher for the privilege of reading this as an ARC!

This was such a fun and charming paranormal romance! I love stories where the main male character is a tough, formidable "baddie" but turns completely soft for his leading lady. He remains a total bada*s when necessary, yet still knows how to be romantic.

I really enjoyed the theme of redemption woven throughout the story, especially with the "bad guys" angle. It added depth to the characters and kept me invested. I'm definitely intrigued by his brothers and would love to read the rest of the series to learn more about them.

Another highlight for me was that this book is a complete story and can be enjoyed as a standalone, yet it still leaves the door open for more in the series. If you love paranormal romance, I highly recommend giving this one a try!

I got this as an ARC from Netgalley, but these opinions are my own.

This was a really fun paranormal dual POV romance between Ash, a cursed demon and one of four Princes of Hell, who escapes the demon realm to try to find freedom on Earth with his brothers. Looking to live an unassuming life as a musician, Ash wasn't expecting to fall for Eva, an violinist who has secrets of her own and is the one woman who can see Ash for who he really is. Spicy, suspenseful and full of family secrets, this was a great start to a new series that is sure to appeal to fans of authors like Jenna Levine, Sherrilyn Kenyon or Katie MacAlister. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital and audio copy in exchange for my honest review! The narration by Kirsten Leigh was also impressive as she does a great job voicing a full cast of characters in unique and distinctive ways that makes it easy to distinguish between them all. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on book 2 in the series stat!

Well this was a fun time!!!!

Asmodeus is a demon that has escaped hell and has lived 3000 years under a curse where most of his senses are muted and anyone who would be attracted to him isn't. Eva is a musician who notices Ash watching her play a set and surprises him by being interested.

Demons, smut and a cute little love story! The vibe was cute and I was here for it!!

This book was just so much fun.

Ash—formerly a Prince of Hell, now a runaway demon—has a bit of a problem. He’s cursed, which means he can’t see in color, taste, smell, or (worst of all for a demon of lust) be attractive to anyone. That is… until Eva. She’s a violinist and DJ, and when she sees Ash, she actually sees him, curse be damned. Their connection is instant, and when they play music together, his senses start coming back. But, of course, things don’t stay that simple—there’s a hunter after them, Hell isn’t ready to let its prince go, and Eva’s past is way more tangled up in the supernatural than she ever knew.

Ash and Eva’s romance? So good. It’s steamy, emotional, and packed with witty banter. At first, I worried Ash only liked Eva because she could see through his curse (she worries about it too), but their bond runs much deeper. Ash is broody but secretly sweet, and Eva doesn’t put up with any nonsense. They just work.

And Ash’s demon brothers? Absolutely stole the show. They act like they don’t care about each other—because demons, obviously—but then turn around and risk their lives for one another constantly. Their chaotic, messy sibling dynamic was honestly brilliant.

The story balances action, mystery, and romance so well, and the last-minute twist sets up the next book perfectly. Plus, the way music is woven into everything? Beautiful. It’s not just a random detail—it actually connects the characters in a really meaningful way.

If you love paranormal romance with humor, heart, and some ridiculously entertaining demons, you need this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing.

"My Funny Demon Valentine" is just good paranormal romance fun. So much snark from the demon brothers, so much banter between Evangeline and everyone else (love Jacqui!), so much good spice. Several of the plot points were predictable, but I was definitely was reading more for the vibes anyway. This book is a great way to escape real life demons and I will definitely be picking up the rest of the series (though it looks like this is a republishing and I don't see Bel's book listed?!? Hopefully it is just yet to be written!)

4 stars. Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for a complimentary copy of this book. These opinions are my own.

Doesn't get better than this - snarky demons steal the show as they navigate their escape from Hell and dealing with their emergence of emotions! Add in some sizzle and heat, a curse, an evil hunter, family secrets, and some intense action and you just won 't put this one down, or quit chuckling!

Watching a demon learn to love a human was hilarious. The amount of times Ash makes you say aww is insane. Such a cozy romcom to relax and read.

This story was so much fun to read. It is definitely a book I would tell others to read for vibes, but that’s exactly what I needed from it. The characters were fun to follow, the banter was bantering, and the joy it brought was great. I wouldn’t say this is a high literature story, but that doesn’t mean it is bad writing either. I’m really happy with how the author wrote this story, and I loved it so much I have already preordered the next two books in the series.


Thank you for the opportunity to read this book.

3.5 Love Handles Stars ⭐️
Spicy Level: 🌶️🌶️.5/5

You know when a book title gives you a certain expectation, but then you read the book and realize you were totally off the mark? Yeah… that was this book!!! I went in expecting some kind of Valentine’s Day romance between a girl and a demon, only to end up with two characters bonding over jazz music and a song I’ve never heard of...

𝙎𝙮𝙣𝙤𝙥𝙨𝙞𝙨:
We start with Asmodeus, Belial, Mephistopheles and Raum, who have all escaped from Hell, deciding to try their luck at living like humans. The problem? Asmodeus has been cursed... a curse that robs him of any kind of pleasure or sensation. He can’t taste, smell, feel, or see colour, and to top it off, anyone who might have found him "attractive" now sees him as appealing as mouldy sandpaper. He has lived in isolation, untouched and unnoticed for millennia. One night, they visit a jazz club, and Asmodeus finds himself mesmerized by a violinist on stage. Their eyes meet, and something shifts. That violinist is Evangeline and when she walks over to introduce herself, it sets everything into motion. But here’s the kicker, these demons aren’t supposed to be here, and now that they’ve broken free, they’re being hunted. And when a gargoyle tracks them down, and Evie sees their demon forms... things get complicated.

𝙏𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙁𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨:
Evangeline is interesting. She’s badass, but at times, way too chill about what’s happening. Like, girl, you just saw a full-on demon execution and your reaction is… mild concern? She has one brief moment of freaking out, and then she’s fine, which made some of her reactions feel a little too blasé. I would’ve liked a bit more depth to how she processed everything. And her mother's advice... "Maybe you should explore this"... Because apparently, almost witnessing a demon battle to the death is not a reason to run for the hills.

Asmodeus and his demon brothers are adorable. And yes, I just called demons adorable! Asmodeus, in particular, is the least attuned to human norms... probably because, for the last three millennia, no one has paid him any attention. He has no idea how to interact with people, which results in this hilariously HIMBO energy. He’s clueless about basic human customs, norms and technology - especially things like how television works. It was just stupidly cute.

I didn’t expect this to have multiple POVs, but it really added to the story. You can tell Aurora Ascher really did her research on demonology, and while some creative liberties were taken with the characters’ personalities and backstories, a lot of their story is based on traditional biblical lore. And listen, BECAUSE I am obsessed with learning random things from books, I loved going down the rabbit hole of researching who these demons were and what they stood for.

Even though he is not the main MMC in this, Belial might be my favourite. He has zero chill and the worst temper, and when he gets angry, he has "little flame" temper tantrums. It was hilarious and endearing how his brothers and Evie calmed him down. I think that's a big thing that I loved about this book, how strong the bonds were between the brothers! I loved seeing how this ragtag group of escaped demons had become a brotherhood... fiercely protective of each other in a world that didn’t want them to exist.

Now there isn't much plot to this story, but it is a fun ride! The characters carry it, and for me, that was enough. I loved watching Asmodeus and Evangeline bond over something as human as music... Seeing them connect through that, how their shared passion brought them together and changed them, was unexpectedly sweet.

There was one thing that annoyed me... The one demon's name is RIDICULOUS and I HAVE NO CLUE how to pronounce it... Mishetsumephtai. Every time I saw it, I mentally rolled my eyes and just skimmed over it because, honestly, I wasn’t about to butcher it in my head.

𝙏𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙨 and 𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙧𝙤 𝙏𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙨::
▶ DemonXHuman Relationship
▶ Touch Her You Die
▶ Burn The World for You
▶ Band of Brothers
▶ Hidden Identity
▶ Winged MMC
▶ "Mine"
▶ "More"

Overall, this book wasn’t what I expected, but that ended up being a good thing. I went in blind and got a unique, slow-burn connection between two unlikely characters, bonded by music and shaped by their circumstances. It was fun, it was engaging, and it gave me a demon MMC who had no clue how anything worked, which is always a win. My expectations were completely shattered but in the best way possible.

Thank you so much to Kensington Publishing, Netgalley and Aurora Ascher for the gifted copy! All thoughts and opinions are my own

Spicy, 3rd person point of view, paranormal (demons!) romance. I had a really hard time getting into this particular book and it felt a bit too long. The special edition cover and sprayed edges are gorgeous.

I'm a sucker for a steamy paranormal romance and this book is no exception. I also love the music aspect of the story. This story was so much fun to read and I fell in love with these characters. So much banter, swearing (which I love), and an HEA?! I couldn't possibly ask for more. I cannot wait to read more books in the series! I also love the cover.

Asmodeus prince of hell, Ash for short and his brothers Bel, meth and Raum escaped hell for freedom, fun and to live on earth like any normal human.

Ash is cursed and that cause his senses to disable. Besides that people who can have possible sexual attraction to him, don't seem to notice him (like his charming real self). They see him as a boring, average dude. While ash goes to the club with his brothers who are always surrounded by girls, ash just goes to enjoy the music because he has a huge passion for jazz music. But he comes across a girl EVA who plays this flute on such charming way, that ash couldn't take his eyes from her. When Eva ignored all his hot brothers, and walked straight to ash and started to flirt with him, he released that she can see him like the real him. But how?
Before ash could find answers, a stupid gargoyle spoiled the party and shot him.

Since they broke the rules of escaping hell, a hunter was sent to captured them and bring them back to teach them a lesson. So now they have a hunter on their tail.
This book will bring you to an adventure of super cute smutty romance, revealing secrets and full package of action. What I loved about this book is that it was written in a multiple pov. I laughed, blushed and cried but mostly I smirked.


Spicy - 5/5
Action - perfect amount
Fantasy elements - summoning, teleporting, sigils, protection charms

This was a delightful mix of humor, romance, and supernatural charm. Aurora Ascher delivers a fun and fast-paced story filled with banter, lovable characters, and just the right amount of spice. The chemistry between the leads is electric, and the unique take on demons adds a fresh twist to the paranormal romance genre. If you love a blend of sass, steam, and the supernatural, this book is definitely worth a read!

My Funny Demon Valentine is such a fantastic book! I loved it. The characters were the best part. I loved the demon brothers, and the relationship between Ash and Eva was super hot yet also really caring. A lot of humor and an unexpected twist make this one tough to put down. The author has a great writing style that kept me engaged the whole time. I cannot wait to read more about these characters, especially the brothers.

I loved My Funny Demon Valentine! It made me laugh and smile so hard.

I love that Ash and Eva actually grow and heal together, while Ash starts to feel again. Eva is the only one who can SEE the real Ash since he was cursed. Their mutual love of music is beautiful. I play the violin too! Let’s just say that Baby Grand Piano got a lot of action. There’s a lot of spice and sexy scenes balanced perfectly with the plot. It doesn’t take away from the story.

The main and even side characters were fleshed out well, especially the demon brothers. I actually want to hang out with them, even though they are jerks at first. I also wasn’t expecting this book to be so hilarious either. It’s one of the only books I’ve read with demons and humor, a new trope I want more of. The main twist was shocking and made me so mad! I was fully invested in the story and couldn’t put it down.

I’m excited to read the rest of the series, especially Bel’s story. I can’t stop imagining a 7 foot fallen angel in a tiny apron. The special editions are gorgeous and will look perfect on my shelf.
