This is probably the coziest, sweetest mostly-spice book I've ever read. There is a lot of wonderful communication between the more sexually experienced Elle and the virgin Shane, a lot of acceptance from both sides about the self-perceived flaws of the other, and the almost but not quite insta-love on both sides makes the romance lighthearted and cozy. I really fell in love with Emily Antoinette's writing in Behold Her, and this is a Halloween candy sweet story in the same world- (they're Max's parents! That's so cute!)
I was also really happy about them both being bisexual, and the conversation about bisexual stigma against bisexual men specifically. And, as a bisexual woman myself, Elle's experiences of how people view her Succubus nature really resonated with me. I've had partners also think I was promiscuous just because of my "nature". I think that the acceptance and understanding that you can be bisexual (and/or a succubus!) and still want a meaningful, monogamous relationship was a balm on my heart.
