About this book

They are looking for sunshine… in a world without a sun.

When six human women are rescued from the Dreadmoor, Kizros’s only job is to check on their health and provide the rune cuffs that keep them safe. He didn’t imagine that by the afternoon, he’d be escorting one of those humans to his apothecary as his new assistant. But Aofe is the opposite of what he thought humans would be like. She’s a bloom in the dark, a colorful and curious creature, and from the moment he saw her brilliance, Kizros was determined not to scare away his new colleague.

Aofe has spent her life being told what she can’t do because of her crutches, but working for Kizros is everything she’s ever wanted. A quiet shop, a job she’s qualified for that doesn’t require being on her feet, and a handsome green demon with glasses to keep her company. Kizros is sweet, charming, and awkward, and though he doesn’t quite understand her disability, he makes the effort to learn.

Their pull is undeniable, but their past holds them back. He’s always been too much. She’s always been an inconvenience. Can they learn to trust the sunshine in each other and heal from their pasts together?

For fans of fantasy monster romance, cozier fantasy, and queer stories, join Laura Winter and AK Caggiano in the Falling for Demons series of interconnected standalones, set in the same fantasy world. Follow six humans and their budding romances with the demons they once feared in a cozy, spicy setting.

I like this series. Following six different women who were rescued from slavers by demons. This one follows Aofie and Kizros the demon. I thought their relationship was fun, getting to know each other asking questions and being open and honest about everything made this very realistic and sweet. Aofie had a disability, but Kirros never made her feel weak or like she was a burden. Now this one was much spicier than the first one. But I liked that both characters talked about what the liked,...

Thank you to the author for an ARC! Thoughts are left voluntarily. This was very sweet and spicy and cozy! I appreciate the thoughtfulness put into the disability representation we see with the FMC. I do wish there was more world building. I would’ve liked to know more about the setting since each book seems like it may be different in terms of species of demon. Most of the story is in the apothecary. Kizros and Aofe were very very cute, unexpectedly kinky, and it was a delightful, lighthearted...
