I 100% signed up to ARC read this book because of the funny title and gorgeous cover art. This is absolutely a case of you CAN judge a book by its cover, because it is such a fun, cozy, spicy read.
Sylvia is 36, has a successful business, a nice condo and a handsome boyfriend. Scratch that. HAD a boyfriend. That relationship died the instant Sylvia walked in on him and her now-former assistant in flagrante delicto.
On a whim she sells everything and purchases a derelict hot spring resort in the mountains of Colorado, hoping that the hard work of restoring it and building a new business would distract her from the wreck her life has become. She quickly finds herself running into roadblocks: between the owner of the neighboring resort paying off contractors and the rumors that her resort is haunted, Sylvia can't find anyone willing to work for her.
One evening as she is trying to relax in one of the hot springs, she finds herself face to face with an incubus. An incubus that claims she's a witch! All the hauntings of her resort have been caused by the demon, who has been trapped in the mountain by a curse.
Once she's over the shock of magic and demons being real, Sylvia agrees to let the incubus, Apollo, help her fix up the resort and to teach her how to wield her magic so she can hopefully undo his curse. But as they spend more time together, their feelings grow decidedly less and less platonic.
I love a good spicy, cozy romance, especially when it has more mature protagonists, so this really hit the spot for me. Apollo is a total cinnamon roll and Charlie! Who doesn't love a snarky, sentient rubber duck?
