About this ebook

Jackson has loved Vegas since God created Man—literally. As demonic incubi hailing from the Seventh Circle of Hell, Jackson and Vegas have never been anything more than roommates. Now living among humans, they run Eaven, a TripAdvisor-recommended detour-worthy diner famous for its devilishly decadent pies. Business is dead on the holidays, and Jackson will gleefully stab himself with a spatula if he has to clean spotless pots and pans one more time.

For fun—or torture—Vegas makes him a bet that should Jackson win, they take a much-needed vacation. Should he lose, he’s doomed to clean out grease traps for all eternity. When the challenge is to fall in love with other people by Christmas, it proves Vegas isn’t the least bit interested. But when they find an abandoned baby in the trash, she could be the Christmas miracle to warm Jackson’s cynical heart.

A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2015 Advent Calendar package "Sleigh Ride".

    This was a cute little story about two incubi who find a baby abandoned in a dumpster behind their restaurant, Eaven (the "H" is burned out ;) ). Jackson has been in love and lust with his best friend, Vegas, for a long time, but Vegas only sees him as a friend and roommate. Or so he thinks. But it's Christmas, and maybe a miracle can even happen for two demons. ;)

    Okay, I’ll admit it: this story had me intrigued from the moment I read the blurb. Two demons, incubi no less, from the seventh circle of hell, have settled on Earth, run a diner together in a town “even Google Maps can’t find”, and are roommates. Oh, and the diner is well known for its “devilishly decadent pies”. Jackson is the one who tells the story, and he has been secretly in love with Vegas for – a very, very long time. I had my suspicions about Vegas as well…

    They have a bet going to fall in love by Christmas. If Jackson wins, Vegas will agree to close the diner for holidays and taking a vacation – not something he is a fan of. If Vegas wins, Jackson will have to clean out grease traps for eternity. And if that wasn’t enough excitement, they find a baby girl in the trash who only stops crying in Jacksons arms, and their slightly new-age-y sort-of friend, whom Jackson suspects to be in love with Vegas and vice versa, comes to work at the diner part-time. Between desperately finding a date he can fall in love with, figuring out how to take care of a baby girl and being upset that Vegas won’t see him for anyone other than a roommate, Jackson sure has his hands full.

    Written with a great sense of humor, some demonic subterfuge, and more than one unexpected twist, this is an absolutely wonderful story. It may not contain any “traditional Christmas spirit” in the stricter sense of the definition, but it sure has its moments!

    If you like tongue-in-cheek stories, if you’re a fan of demons finding a new purpose outside their hellish origins, and if you’re looking for a read that is funny, extremely hot, and full of quirky characters who do the unexpected, then you will probably like this novella as much as I did. I’m still laughing.

    Demonic friends-to-lovers story wrapped in otherworldly, baby-riffic style

    This intriguing story is difficult for me to rate. The premise of two incubbi (sex demons) having a contest to fall in love over the holidays is enticing as all, well, Hell. The plot reads much more like a standard friends-to-lovers romance (a sex demon desperate to use Grindr?), with just enough otherworldly elements to draw a bit here and there on their demonic heritage.

    Five stars for the premise and occasional allusions to the divine/infernal, 3.5 stars for the decent story and writing, all rounded to four stars for the cherubic baby.
