A Forever Unrooting of Jade and Hickory (The Rooted Realm)
Mikki Roule
by Silvana Falcon
Ethan is a hopeless romantic with a library card and a dream, but his attempt to summon Cupid goes hilariously wrong. Instead of a god of love, he accidentally pulls Malphas—Hell’s most spectacularly incompetent demon—out of the archives and onto Earth. Malphas is desperate to trade his filing duties for a promotion, and he is convinced that corrupting this nerdy human is his ticket to finally being taken seriously by the higher-ups in the underworld.
The deal seems simple enough: Malphas will help Ethan win over his crush, and in exchange, he gets to claim a soul. But as the duo navigates the awkward, high-stakes world of human romance, their contract becomes increasingly complicated. Between botched spells and a complete lack of infernal cunning, this unlikely pair finds themselves in a chaotic dance where the line between a demonic plot and genuine affection begins to blur.
If you are looking for your next cozy paranormal romance, this story is a perfect escape. It is a delightful blend of supernatural tropes and laugh-out-loud comedy, featuring a sweet, filter-free connection that defies all expectations. With a guaranteed happy ending and zero angst, it is the ultimate feel-good read for fans of charming, low-spice m/m stories.

It was a quick read and a cute story. Low spice. Trying to summon Cupid, but getting a demon instead is a collosal mishap, and yet, it somehow only works in romance novel! ) 2 people found this helpful
