The MC of this book is Miles, short of Milliant Shavoldeshve. So after reading Annette Marie’s Demonized books, I’ve been D Y I N G to read more demon romance ones but apparently I am particular and really just want grumpy cinnamon roll demons. This is the demon romance book I didn’t know I wanted? What’s funny is that I started this book without even reading the blurb because someone recommended this series for fans of The Lightning-Struck Heart by TJ Klune, so I jumped right in. Happy Endings is a 73k word novel that has an immensely powerful mage, a shapeshifting demon with a strong libido, a dark mage that just won’t stay dead, a spray bottle put to unusual uses, armor that is most definitely not made of dragon skin, blackmail involving an unfortunate slow-mo video, a detective being pursued by a determined minotaur, unprofessional use of illusions, and an epic walk into battle. Or destroy everything-we haven’t quite figured that out yet. Havoc and I will do everything we can to stop the evil that is threatening the lives of the people I care about. Maybe it took three hundred years to finally understand my feelings for Havoc and realize that I can’t imagine being with anyone but him.
We start to realize that there’s something more to this relationship, something that has kept us by each other’s sides for so long. When fifteen people are found dead with messages from a long-extinct cult, Havoc and I are forced to face our past and sort through our differences. I even had to fight off swordsmen alone once because he was too busy betting on who’d survive. He’s more interested in bedding attractive women than protecting my life, which defeats the main reason a mage like me would have a demon. Havoc is handsome, mysterious, and somehow my closest companion, even if we don’t always get along. When I bound Havoc to me nearly three hundred years ago, I never realized how difficult he’d make my life, although “accidentally” lighting him on fire every now and then does bring a smile to my face.
I never claimed to be smart, but at least I’m powerful enough to control them.
