Tayla's observation : 'his magic penis'



Whoops, excuse me. I did not mean to react so strongly. I meant to reply with, "please... tell me more."

So...this Eidolon guy. He kind of has magic spermies that do magic sperm-y things to a woman. If that's not going to get someone interested, then I don't know what else to say.

This was fluffy, cheesy, good-time PNR and I loved every second of it. I never once rolled my eyes at the flowery sexual terms, nor did I bat an eyelash at the crazy male behavior. If there's one thing I expect from PNR, it's that I already know I'm going to get a yummy, smutty, ridiculously over-the-top story and that's what I crave when I reach for the genre. It's my comfort-food version of reading, where for once I don't have to stop and question every single action I find incredibly unrealistic. I'm pretty sure that creatures with green skin and demons with horns are a dead giveaway that realism is going out the window. Hooray! Let the good times roll!

Speaking of good times...let's go back to the magic sperm. If there's a wait list to be the test subject for this stuff, SIGN ME UP. The chick in this book had serious issues with even getting an O (due to previous trama) and she was still having the time of her life. Talk about some awesome sex, right?

As for the world building....it wasn't bad. I had a few moments of confusion when it seemed like a lot of races and descriptions were dumped on me all at once, but after a few chapters, it all started coming together. I can honestly say that I would prefer not to read about demons (unless it's a Georgina Kincaid type of succubi), so it was never my intention to read this book until a group picked it for their read. Even though I'm still not comfortable with demons (the concept makes me feel kind of icky), I enjoyed the read enough that I might continue on with the series because I want to know more about the other characters.

Three cheers for snark! This author has a great sense of humor :

"I'm taking you home."
"In a car?"
"Only because my flaming chariot is at the shop."

"And eew. Dude, she's a Buffy. I'd sooner shove my dick into a month-dead corpse."
"You probably have," Wraith snorted.

"You eat fast food?"
"Only when there's a shortage of live sheep and small children."

"UGH? Your hospital is called ugh?"

She wondered if his apparently keen sense of smell would pick up the odor of her failing deodorant.


Hot guy + sense of humor + smokin' hot sex + interesting world = recipe for success. If you can ignore the obvious cheese which automatically goes hand-in-hand with the whole smutty pnr vibe, you'll have a fun time.

Where did you leave off with, book 2? If so, we can always buddy it at some point if you want.

D.G. Awesome review, Stacia! Now I feel like re-reading this book. It was my favorite of the series!


Stacia (the 2010 club) Thanks everyone. :) It was a fun little escape - exactly what I needed right now.

Giedre...if only such a thing existed. Not that I have any complaints about my sex life, but I would never object to a magical penis.

Karla Great review Stacia, love the pic! I forgot about Eidolon and his magical man juice!!

Stacia (the 2010 club) I agree. It was a very pleasant/happy read, which was a nice change of pace. Karla, I laughed at magical man juice!

message 34: by Kat (new) - rated it 3 stars

Kat Guess what? I'm actually starting to get the hang of this one now. It's like you said, you gotta embrace the cheesiness, ha! :)


Stacia (the 2010 club) Adult PNR is probably the one and only genre where I don't mind embracing the cheese without shame. In fact, I half expect it, and almost find myself disappointed if there isn't at least a little.


message 36: by Liv (new) - rated it 4 stars

Liv Chanin If you can just embrace the cheese and accept the genre for what it is, it is most definitely more enjoyable. Love your review. Magic sperm...lol.


message 38: by Aria (new) - rated it 2 stars

Aria Eleanor Love this review *wipes virtual tear* :-D Made me laugh so hard.


Stacia (the 2010 club) Aw, thanks so much!


Stacia (the 2010 club) As long as you know ahead of time that it's super cheesy, you'll have fun with it.


Kathleen I loved the first four books in this series. However, when I discovered MM romance, I never went back to the series.


Stacia (the 2010 club) I think I've only read the first two or three. I am terrible at starting series but not finishing them.


Marissa Teng OK, i think im reading this just because i read "magical penis"


message 46: by J.W. (new) - rated it 5 stars

J.W. Ellis SOoooooo I guess I never saw your post on this book series, but I was thinking of doing a reread so I was scrolling to see which of my friends had read it.... and omg... your Magic Spermies, has me about to pee on myself....


Stacia (the 2010 club) Hopefully that's good peeing and not bad peeing! Never thought those words would be ones I'd use. :)

J.W. Ellis oh yeah, luckily I made it to the ladies room though, but oh yeah so enjoyed the way you worded the entire thing.
