Just when you thought it was safe to go back into your home library...
Bestselling Author Jessica Cage has enchanted readers once again with her latest release, "I Accidentally Summoned a Demon Boyfriend," recently released!
"The last few projects I put out were heavy. They had dark themes and lots of layers to dig through," says Jessica. "I wanted to tap into my old dreams of writing a Rom Com. But of course, I had to keep the fantasy element!!"
In this spellbinding tale, protagonist Rayna, the last single friend in her group, finds herself tired of being stood up by her friends and turns to her first love, a book, for solace. However, a drunken decision to cast a spell from her favorite romance novel unleashes unforeseen consequences as she accidentally summons a brooding demon boyfriend, Metice. Now, Rayna must navigate the challenges of severing the magical bond with Metice if she ever hopes to regain her normal life.
Rayna is a witty yet romantically challenged woman, who discovers an unexpected solution to her love life woes within the worn pages of a mysterious romance novel. In a moment of desperate curiosity, she recites an incantation hidden within its paragraphs, unknowingly summoning Metice, a demon with a haunting past and a set of enemies who will hunt her down to get revenge.
As Rayna grapples with her devilishly handsome companion, she soon realizes that her misstep has dire consequences. Metice, burdened by a duty to safeguard Rayna from his adversaries, battles his own tumultuous history while guarding her against dangers lurking in the supernatural realm.
Caught between an otherworldly attraction and the impending threats closing in, Rayna and Metice embark on an exhilarating journey filled with unexpected alliances and forbidden emotions. As they navigate through a whirlwind of magical confrontations and growing affection, they discover that the line between peril and passion is thinner than they ever imagined.
"I wanted to give my readers a break from the weight of topics like familial trauma and systemic oppression," says Cage. "This project is fun, sexy, and in my biased opinion, hilarious! Even though he’s a demon, it’s a healthy type of love." Cage continues.
Reviews are in:
"Whenever I had to pause reading to do something, I was always eager to pick it right back up to continue reading! It was funny, sweet, adventurous, and sexy! I loved how it’s also set in the modern world when they're not in the fantasy world. It’s a nice change that Rayna is a grown woman, when there are tons of storylines with younger characters in a lot of other books. We see her navigate adult friendships, her career, and dating. Jessica Cage gives us that level of relatability with a good splash of other worldly magical demon goodness."
"This was a refreshing romance with an older, confident female MC. The minor 4th wall breaks showed that even if we know a decision is wrong, we will sometimes make it anyway. This heroine never once said it was the fault of others for her choices. I didn't realize how much I love that!
"It's incredibly rare that I laughed out loud at ANY BOOK, but from the get-go, I was just giggling. First and foremost, I just want to point out how refreshing it is to get to see a Black Woman as a lead in one of these types of stories. I did appreciate Rayna's highlighting of why dating is so hard as a black woman and the banter between her and Metice."
