About this book

A possessive grump, a chaotic sunshine, and a nerdy perfectionist walk into a bar.

Stolen from her home, Rosalind wakes in the demon realm determined to help the other humans start their new lives. Between laws, ledgers, and lists, Rose doesn’t have time for frivolous activities like courting when she’s desperate to prove herself. Still, one night of not thinking about her work won’t hurt, and there are two handsome demons willing to help her forget.

But what if the real challenge is forgetting them?

After waking up to find the beautiful human gone, Lazerath is devastated. One night has never been a problem before, but Rosalind is The One, and now Laz has the chance to court his soulbonded alongside his best friend. Even if Davarox and Rosalind are far too smart for him, Laz won’t let his insecurities interfere with his two most precious relationships.

Everything is perfect, so why does he still feel like something in his life is missing?

Davarox has been in love with his best friend since they met, but the happy, outgoing Lazerath—Dav’s complete opposite—has no idea. Dav has pined from a safe distance, protecting Laz and their bakery while making sure the demon never feels hardship. But one shared night with the brilliant and fearless Rosalind has stirred a new possessive desire within Dav, and he’s dangerously close to revealing all his secrets… if Rosalind’s keen observation doesn’t unravel them first.

Between work and heart, loneliness and joy, secrets and love, the three must learn to explore their changing dynamic… together.

How Not to Pursue Your Human Perfectionist is a MMF polyamorous cozy demon romance and contains consensual romantic relationships between all three characters.

Why choose?

I have received an ARC of this book. Thank you to the Author for providing it. I have to be honest it took me a minute to get I to this book. It has nothing to do with it being slightly contemporary feeling but it really took me some time. I started reading and it just took time for it to hook me. I am sure others will feel differently when you get these hands on this book. I liked how Rosalind represented a character with ADHD and I would argue she's also autistic and anxiety. The author also...

Cute, wholesome and healthy relationships

10/10, no notes. Absolutely perfection is what this book encases. Dav and Laz are the most perfect book boyfriends (who SPOILER also become boyfriends) and I LOVED them so much and their relationship with Rosalind was so sweet and healthy and I wish this book was longer so i could read about them more after the epilogue was over 😭 )

Spicy Demon Romance

April 9, 2026

This is the fifth book in the Falling for Demons series of interconnected standalones, and the most spicy one by far. It is also the only one with a throuple. I had been so excited to finally read Rosalind's story, as she has been the glue holding together everything for the humans in heck. Unfortunately, while there were great bones of things mentioned regarding her backstory, and even a mystery at her job all of this was very surface and shallow. We visited these plot points briefly on our...
