Nico woke with an aching head and a churning stomach. Not only was he once again naked and wrapped around Flame as though he’d never let go, but this time his tail had crept higher and twined around Sir Flame’s thigh. Infernal tail.
He groaned as he tried to roll off Flame, but it didn’t work the way he’d hoped. Instead, Flame rolled with him and now lay on top. Between his legs. Both of them suffering from morning wood.
He’d blush, but since that took energy he didn’t have, he grunted instead.
Flame scrunched his eyes closed, and his breath came in heavy puffs.
“You feel as bad as I do, huh?” Nico husked.
Flame didn’t say anything, though he pushed off Nico and pulled a cover over them both.
“I don’t suppose you have Sir Trent’s Tipsy-No-More Tincture? I don’t normally drink that much.” Even his horns ached. How many drinks had he had? He’d lost track.
“Phoenix, remember? I self-heal.” Flame’s voice sounded strained.
Nico groaned. “Today’s going to suck.”
Flame turned his head so they faced each other, his face pained. “I could fix your hangover.”
Why did he sound aggrieved about it?
“How?” Nico narrowed his eyes.
Flame rolled toward him and pressed his lips against Nico’s. Nico squawked. Totally undignified, but he hadn’t expected it.
Flame pulled back. “I’m not trying to seduce you. My saliva and tears are healing. Since I’m not much of a crier, this is easier.”
“You could have warned me.” Not how he wanted to remember kissing Flame. A hazy memory came back to him from last night. Wait, had he kissed Flame then?
“Sorry.” Flame didn’t sound contrite.
Nico leaned in and watched as Flame’s pupils dilated. He was playing with fire. But he was a demon, after all. He slanted his mouth against Flame’s and opened for him. Flame kissed softly, but with purpose. Their tongues slid against each other. Nico moaned. Cinders and ash, Flame could really kiss.
When Flame finally drew away, Nico chased his lips.
Flame squeezed his eyes shut and turned to his back again. “Better yet?”
Huh? Oh! He hadn’t noticed his hangover had vanished. His morning wood, not so much.

[Lecture VO]
Un très bon livre, avec du mystère, de la romance, de l'humour et du suspense mêlés avec brio.
J'ai adoré retrouvé Nico, ce personnage est un coup de cœur. Lui et Flamme sont adorables.
L'univers est aussi génial.
Malgré la longueur du livre, on ne s'ennuie jamais, le récit est très bien mené.
La fin est inattendue, un plot twist auquel je ne m'attendais pas du tout ! Bien joué à l'auteur.

Résumé
You’d think being magically tethered to the hottest warden in all Verona wouldn’t be a hardship.
You’d be wrong.
Incubus Nico Azertiran has his dream job as a cherub-in-training. It’s the perfect position for a lust demon who’s more interested in happily-ever-afters than one-night stands. Or it would be, if he didn’t keep screwing it up. When a new cherub gadget misfires, Nico is left trussed to Verona’s most eligible warden, the incredibly grumpy, Sir Flame.
Flambeau Illume has a job to do. Someone’s murdering Verona’s rich and famous, and Sir Flame’s hot on the killer’s trail . . . until he has the misfortune to get magically lassoed to the most infuriating incubus he’s ever had the displeasure to meet. Except, maybe Nico isn’t so terribly awful. But how can he solve his case and keep Nico safe at the same time? Especially when the sweet demon seems to have a bullseye on his back.
Together they need to solve the crime, stay alive, and—if their luck changes—maybe even fall in love. Easy, right?
