It sounds like a bad joke,4 demons go into a bar,and…
For Ash,it means watching his brothers,Bel,Meph and Raum being surrounded by beautiful girls.
It means watching them have fun,without ever being noticed himself.
Because some 3000 years ago,he was cursed.
To lose his sense of smell,taste,pain and color.
And he's só tired of it….
Until the faithful night they're in a bar,and a girl walks right past his brothers…..looking straight at him!
He enjoyed her company very much,and wanted to really get to know her.
If only that stupid gargoyle hadn't found them…..
They had no other choice,but to destroy it before it could warn others about their whereabouts.

Eva is blown away by the beautiful man standing at the bar,and feels a need to talk to him….if only his friends would let her.
Getting to know him,she feels a connection,and not just a sexual one.
They both love the same music,and while talking about it is a joy,playing together is heavenly.
Until she finds out he's not quite human…..or was that a hallucination after all?
Who can she confide in? Her mother is a person she can share everything with,and the advice she gives,makes sense.
If only it helped….

Things really get out of control when the Demon Hunter,Mist,finds them.
They're forced to run,and the safest place is with Eva's mother.
Or is it?
Secrets are revealed,secrets that could ruin everything…..
Can Eva and her Demon make it out of this mess,together?

This was a rollercoaster ride,one that made me laugh,cry and curse.
One that kept me on the edge of my seat,that had me cheering Eva and Ash on.
One that had me cursing the ones that were determined to keep them apart.
And one that had me embracing her mother for accepting Ash,Bel,Meph and Raum so easily and wholeheartedly.

And now i need to know what happens to Mist…..please?

Ash, lover of Jazz and a Prince of Hell, along with his brothers escape Hell and its ironic set of constricting rules to build a better and more free life for themselves.

4.5 - 4.75 stars!

My Funny Demon Valentine is the first book in the Hell Bent series and features Evangeline (Eva) and Asmodeus (Ash). Ash, lover of Jazz and a Prince of Hell, along with his brothers escape Hell and its ironic set of constricting rules to build a better and more free life for themselves. But in doing so, they've put a huge target on their backs and they're on borrowed time until the Hunter/Tracker finds them. Ash, stuck with a curse that dulls the senses, yearns to feel something other than mediocre pleasure and passing glances. It isn't until one night when he meet Eva that everything changes.

Eva is a musician and while playing a gig one weekend she catches the eye of one of the most gorgeous and masculine men she has ever laid eyes on. All her senses go into overdrive and the two of them fall into easy conversation. Eva is enamored by this hunk of a man and Ash is in awe that Eva has noticed him at all despite his curse.

On the night they meet, the club they are at erupts in chaos and Eva sees something she never should have. Completely confused and possibly crazy, Eva needs answers and the only way to get those is to get to know the quiet and delicious man. As the two of them navigate their budding relationship, Eva realizes she has been thrust into a world far bigger than herself and there is more to her than meets the eye. What happens with Eva finds out the truth about Ash...and herself? Can Eva and Ash have a happy ending with Hell after Ash and his brothers and Eva's past?

First off, I'd like to point out that the cover for this is SO cool. Aurora Ascher herself created it and I think it's such a wonderful likeness to Ash's character. Secondly, I've read a lot of PNR and it's refreshing to read a story that is both unique and successfully executed. There were several twists and turns in here that had me on the edge of my seat and the angst/suspense was perfectly balanced with the steaminess (!!!) of Ash and Eva's relationship. I really liked Ash's character although I felt like there is so much about him that I still don't know. Eva was a wonderful character full of spunk and strength. Eva definitely overshadowed Ash as a character but I almost feel like that was intentional considering Ash has spent a long time 'in the background.' Their relationship was everything...sweet but not so sweet your teeth hurt and definitely full of passion and lust.

Ash's brothers were so fun and I loved the banter between all of them. I can't wait for their stories...specifically a demon with a flare for delicious cooking. The only thing that bothered me a little in here was when the story offered the POV of characters other than Ash and Eva. While this didn't happen much, it confused me just a tad but I understand why the author did it.

Lastly, Eva's mother...she wasn't even a main character and I think my heart cracked open for her. I'm hoping that gets resolved in a good way. Overall, if you like steamy PNR with a heavy dose of action and adventure then definitely pick this one up. You won't regret claiming your own demon from Hell.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

My Funny Demon Valentine, a debut Contemporary Demon Romance by Aurora Ascher, is ALL THAT! Asmodeous and Eva will take you on a wild ride through the streets of Montreal, and you'll love every minute!
Asmodeous—Ash—is a Duke of Hell—a lust demon, though no one would ever guess. He's cursed, so no woman can see that long, sexy, black mane or his rippling muscles. Instead, every possible sexual partner looks at Ash and sees the equivalent of a cardboard box.

Until Eva.
She's feisty and gorgeous and talented. She's a musician, and music is just about the only thing Ash loves. Can a demon even feel love?
Eva is just a human, though she's felt different all her life. And when she meets a gorgeous but shy guy at the bar where she gigs, insta-lust is an understatement. But things are not exactly as they seem, for Eva or Ash.
This steamy, hilarious at times, tale of finding the joy in life, is the first book in the Hell Bent Series by Ascher, and once you read it, you'll be begging her for more. Ash has three demon brothers and they all want love.
This is a five star read! Take the chance, buy the book. You won't be sorry!

Eva wants so badly to pretend what happened didn't happen that she hallucinated what she saw that night. Ash he's thinking only one thing (She sees me) My favorite interaction with them was the music playing and biting of a certain "apple" is all I'm gonna say.

I also adored all the side characters they are so well thought out and I fell in love with all of them right away. I need Belial to get a book and Mish or I may riot.

The sex scenes are steamy af but the story is immaculate.

I am in love with demons. Yep, I am a Catholic girl who loves a good demon hero. I'm not ashamed to admit it. There's just something about falling in love with a being you're absolutely not supposed to love that just draws me in like a moth to a flame. The demons in this story are hot, relatable, and just want to be free to live their lives the way they want to. Not to mention the sex - WOW. Aurora Ascher has a true gift, and you all should experience it by reading this book. The writing was fla I am in love with demons. Yep, I am a Catholic girl who loves a good demon hero.

Aurora Ascher has a true gift, and you all should experience it by reading this book. The writing was flawless, plot was perfectly laid out, and after reading the teaser of the next book, I am convinced that she is a new author for my auto-buy list.

Asmodeus was the Demon of Lust, known for his sex appeal and the many, many lovers he had. Until one fateful day when he was cursed, and now not only can he not see in color or feel much of anything physically, but he is practically invisible to all women. Except one. Eva is a musician, whose music captivates him the moment she steps on stage. When she sees him, she is immediately intrigued by this man who is staring at her, and she goes over to introduce herself. To his shock, she fully appreciates him for the man he is...at least in the human guise she can see. What would she think she saw the real him? Their romantic encounter is cut short when a minion from Hell discovers Asmodeus and his friends at the club and tries to bring them back to Hell. Eva sees what she's not supposed to see but chalks it up as a hallucination. She and Asmodeus begin to see more of each other, and things heat up. The sex is fantastic, he clearly has a thing for her, and she starts to become attached. Which makes it all the more awkward that she is clearly crazy for seeing him with horns and wings...unless she's not so crazy after all.

I. Love. Asmodeus. And Eva, of course, but Asmodeus was just a wonderful specimen of a man...demon. His friends were equally gorgeous, and I had a hard time deciding who would be my next book boyfriend. I landed on Meph, the heavily tattooed demon who just seemed like a misunderstood gem, if you ask me. But back to the main couple - Eva and Ash. Their chemistry was off the charts! I found myself fully engaged in their romance from the very moment they laid eyes on each other, and when the story finished, I was aching for more. Yes, the steam was high, and I think we all will wish we had what they had when all is done. What got me right in the feels though was the raw emotion coming from both of them throughout the story. Ash was more than just a lust demon, he was someone who wanted to live his life in peace, and he found that with Eva. He wanted the life he could see with her, and his protective instincts towards her made my heart flutter with envy. He didn't let anyone stop him from being with her. Eva was a strong woman who could take care of herself, and I loved that she never lost that independent streak. She refused to allow herself to be intimidated, and she accepted Ash for who he was. She was exactly who he needed. And he was hers.

I am so eager for the next book, you have no idea! I was frantically swiping through my Kindle trying to get more pages. Alas, we get a teaser. We must wait.

**I received a free copy from the author and this is my honest review.**

Don't let the name deceive you, this book wasn't some smut with demons on valentines day (like I thought, quite stupidly). They meant serious business and I was 100 percent invested from the first page itself.

This book had it all! It was romantic, steamy, funny, adventurous with a wide range of complex characters with depth. Characterisation was bomb as was the plot and plot twists. I especially loved the equation between the demon brothers. Loyalty was their core strength.

Heroine Eva was bold, brave and a talented musician. She was perfect for our demon hero Asmodeus, Prince of hell and Lust. They had a connection from the beginning. I also loved Eva's mom Jacqui. She was a wonderful character.

This book is written in multiple POV which is a pet peeve of mine but worked well here. The series is not standalone but it's worth it.

Safe, KU and recommended.

This story is like a breath of fresh air. Finally, some interesting and diverse characters! I was so happy when starting this book and finding out that the main character is not the stereotypical "redhead with green eyes and petite" that writers have practically beaten to death at this point. I really liked the different personalities of the demons as well, how they are not all the same cookie-cutter "badass demons". They actually have different personalities which was nice to read for a change. This story is like a breath of fresh air. Finally, some interesting and diverse characters!

The romance and steam were nice and I enjoyed the main couple. I also enjoyed how the main character was an actual strong female character without falling into the whole "sassy asshole" routine that happens in so many other stories. She fought for what she believed in, but also had compassion and intelligence to back up her decisions. Also, I really enjoyed how there was very little to no sexism or racism in this book. And secondly, how the two main characters are equals, and what's more important, that the demon sees her as his equal.
Overall, this was such a refreshing read and I already cannot wait to read more books by this author! I really hope they continue with this style of writing and don't fall into the traps that other authors seem to when it comes to writing paranormal romance.
Definitely recommend!

The best part of this story for me was actually probably the banter and relationship between the four demons. I ate it up and I'm looking forward to more. The romance between Ash and Eva is also wonderful and surprisingly (given how unfeeling demons are supposed to be in this world) heartfelt and emotional. I was a bit worried that Ash would only be focusing on Eva because of her ability to see through his curse and not for her (also a worry of hers once the info comes out), but that worry quickly dissolved. This is a third person, multi-POV narrative. No ow/om drama, neither are virgins (H is a lust demon so prior to the curse, was very promiscuous), no bc necessary.

In addition to the romance, there's suspense and action as Hell is hunting down the escaped demons, family drama, secrets being kept, and the fun of culture clash between demons and humans. Several side characters popped off the page and hopefully continue in the series. This was a pretty emotional read for me at one part and I did cry. I'm hopeful that particular storyline resolves more through the other books. There's also a fantastic twist at the end that sets up the next book. I'm curious how the other demons' stories will play out and to learn more of their backgrounds. Great first book to draw someone into a new world.

'The Beginning Of A Bad Joke...

'Asmodeus, Prince of Hell, just wants to play music. Jazz, specifically.' Ash and his friends have a plan. They have evolved and grown making it possible for a new way of life away from the torment, but only if they avoid and outrun The Hunter, Hell's best Tracker. Plan executed and a night out on the town has Ash is in for a surprise. Ash was cursed to see everything in b/w, senses dulled and to register as unattractive, boring and dull to any potential partners. They look 'at him like a piece of old drywall', but...

'Evangeline Gregory is just your average human. She works at a jazz bar, plays gigs on weekends… And, apparently, hallucinates demons.' Eva is a beautiful, talented woman with an incredible spirit, heart and a love and talent for music that touches Ash. Ash and Eva connect through their music and passion and it is beautiful.

I loved Ash and Eva as individuals, but even more together they are sweet and sexy. I loved the side characters, especially Eva's mother. I can't wait to read more from Aurora Ascher and see the rest of the gang find redemption, happiness and love.

This story is about Asmodeus who is a Prince of Hell and Evangeline an "ordinary" human. It's attraction at first sight for both, undeniable chemistry. But with him being a demon and being hunted to return to hell, a lot of things happen. There is also a twist, that had me on edge.
The only reason I'm giving it a 4.5 is because at the beginning I felt it was going a little too fast. But the second half had me hooked! Not going to lie I got a little emotional at a certain point. If you're looking for something light, funny, with some spice and sexy demon this is the book. Honestly I'm super excited for the second one, who am I kidding the whole series ❤️.

Asmodeus and his three demon brothers are on the run after escaping Hell, and where do fugitives from Hell go?

Apparently Montreal.

They take a break from their heavily warded apartment to go to a jazz club. Asmodeus, who is typically ignored by everyone as part of an old curse, hunkers down at the bar when a musical goddess (figuratively speaking) comes on stage and captures his undivided attention. He is even more surprised when Eva comes up to him at the bar after her, and these two hit off. Too bad their time was cut short after a gargoyle sent to hunt down our Hell escapees came to collect them.

They eventually reconnect, but Eva had some questions she is scared to ask about the night they met. She saw something she should not have and wondered about who Ash really is. Ash and his brothers are also on borrowed time as The Hunter seems to be getting close.

This was easily one of my favorite reads in 2021. Aurora Ascher did a phenomenal job in doing comprehensive research about demons, and it shows in this book. I loved learning about the different backgrounds of Ash and his companions and the dynamics of heaven and hell.

Ash and Eva are adorable as they navigate not only a new relationship but also Ash having to learn human tendencies and behavior. I loved that Ash is a HUGE alpha-roll, and as much as his brothers would deny it, so are they. They are very sweet, and they complement each other well. I guess that comes with being in close proximity for thousands of years. Eva is such a fierce FMC. She may have her human moments, but she definitely stands her ground against Ash and the other demons.

Their connection is just intense. The spicy scenes are definitely habanero hot. and these two do not hold back.

I cannot say enough about the ensemble cast in this read. We will know more about them in later books, but they all have endearing personalities that make us readers hold them close to our hearts.

If you love PNR with lots of spice, action, and laughs, this is a must-read.

Wow. I really, really enjoyed this book.

I love the creativity of the plot. It's fun - the MMC is a demon who decides to leave Hell with his brothers and who enjoys jazz music - while still being quite believable within the context of the world that Ascher has set up for this series. She's so good at setting up little details within the book that not only add texture to the world, but which become incredibly relevant later on.

Wow. I really, really enjoyed this book.

She's so good at setting up little details within the book that not only add texture to the world, but which become incredibly relevant later on.

And the action! There is an action component to this novel which I really enjoyed as well. I also liked how well-integrated it felt into the overall book.

If anything, I felt that the romance faltered a little bit when compared against all the wonderful plot and world-building this featured since there's so much of the latter. The book sometimes moves away from the main romance to explore other plot threads. It's the first book in the series with a creative premise so I think it makes sense for this book to contain more of a set-up but I could also see it being a bit frustrating for readers.

Besides the steam, there are also other content warnings listed on the author's site if you're interested in learning more. This book would work as a standalone but there are some plot lines that are left open as they extend into future books in the series.

I loved this demon romance so much that binged all three in one go, which is pretty rare as I usually jump from series to series!

Ash is finally here!

Ever since reading Aurora's prequel, My Demon Romance, I've been waiting to read the 1st book in the Hell Bent series and learn all about Asmodeus (Ash) and Evangeline (Eva)… and let me tell you I was not disappointed.

Ash, glorious beautiful demon, who is cursed.. alongside his brothers escape from hell and hoping for freedom they could find on earth. Unfortunately it was not that easy and they had to deal with many obstacles a long the way before finding some form of peace.

Eva a simple yet beautiful violinist truly sees Ash and gets past his curse. She is also unlike any other human… She cannot only see past his curse, but she also has the sight and is able to see the demons.

Ash and Eva find themselves and learn sooo much about each other as they fight for Ash and his brothers as well as their relationship.

I absolutely loved the story. Aurora did a fantastic job of creating a demon romance as well as a great world around them as all. Her characters were amazing and I cannot wait to read more about them. AND I got to read more about MIST! Cannot wait to read more about him and Ash's brothers.
At this point I'm just waiting for Aurora to announce her next books. Demons are freaking awesome 🖤

This is my first Aurora Ascher book and it won't be the last! I enjoyed this paranormal romance with a couple who are so into each other amidst obstacles surrounding them. The hero showed facets of hismself, acknowledging his past and present with sincerity and honesty. The heroine is also learning more about herself as she tackles everything that comes in her way. Along the ride are wonderful secondary characters that are multi-dimensional and makes the story whole with humor, support, and love. I would have enjoyed more details in certain sections of the book but that's a personal preference of mine. I'm definitely looking forward to the next book in this series as the next hero deserves his own happy ending.

**Thanks to the author for providing a review copy. All opinions and thoughts in the review are my own.**

This is my first read by Aurora and to say I am smitten is an understatement.
I dove in head first not really knowing what to expect and ended up falling in love with the story and all the characters.

Ash is demon…demon of lust to be exact but for the past few thousand years has dealt with a curse that has caused him to be "invisible" to everyone except his brothers…until Eva. I couldn't help but fall under his spell as I watched him fall for Eva and not even realize it.

Eva is a force of a woman

Eva is a force of a woman and I love her to death. She is confident without being cocky and gives as good as she gets.

These two together are a humorous, steamy and delightful mix. I loved the banter between them and the fumblings of Ash as he tried to keep his demonic background under wrap all while they made beautiful music together.

Aurora couldn't have wrote this story any better. She blended the perfect amount of suspense, steam and humor together with a world of characters that I didn't want to say goodby to at all. I am beyond excited to see the others find their happily ever after.

This book was so well written. The things that Aurora knows about demons and angels are clear.
Aurora may be a new author, but what I've read from her so far is immaculate. The quality of her writing *chef's kiss*

Ash is a lust demon who was cursed so he can't see colour only black and white, he loses his senses of smell and pain, he's also unnoticeable.
Until one night he and his brothers' are in a bar and a girl notices him despite his brother being there, she looks past them and stares at him.

Eva sees him, actually sees him, she gets to know him and she starts liking him but not only sexually, but she also wants more.
They both play music and when they play together, it's beautiful.

This book made me laugh. It was funny especially the interactions between Ask, Bel, Raum, and Meph. Can't wait to read their books.

Eva and Ash's relationship was sweet, with lots of passion and lust too (he's the lust demon after all or was) but he is more than that. He just wants to live life and he is able to do that with Eva.

The teaser at the end has got me excited for the next book in the series. I'm excited for all the other books in this series, but I'm especially excited for Bel's book.

Can't wait for that.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book - let's just get that out of the way right now.

Ash and Eva are adorable, the spice is excellent, and the growth they both experience together is fantastic - especially on Ash's side. I'm absolute TRASH for big, hulking alphas with secret cinnamon roll centers and Aurora delivers! The banter between Ash and his brothers is EVERYTHING. I really enjoyed Aurora's brand of humor, as well. I love each and every one of those boys, but Meph might be my favorite. Although

And don't even get me started on Mist! The fascination has increased tenfold and I'm so excited to see what love does to that infamous Hunter from Hell.
