Raphael

An Incubus' Mate, Book 1

Raphael has resigned himself to being the matchmaker but never the match. Dating and intimacy are scary, but there’s something about Damien that draws him in. Maybe it’s the lightheartedness that Damien always projects. Maybe it’s his cute horns and dexterous tail. Either way, before Raphael knows it, he’s longing to have Damien as more than just his friend.

Damien’s a demon of lust who has lived his life thinking short term; serious partners were unnecessary. That is, until he meets an adorable blushing cupid named Raphael. Now friends with benefits, one night stands, and his "anyone will do" attitude doesn’t sound as fulfilling.

Between dealing with corrupt matchmaking supervisors, miscommunications, tripping balls on adult candies, and adorable painting dates, the two realize that despite being opposites on paper, just maybe they make the perfect match in practice.

Raphael is book one in An Incubus’ Mate series. This audiobook features an incubus and virgin cupid, found family, adult candies, laugh out loud moments, tail smut, wing grooming, and of course, a happily ever after!

Damien & Raphael

This was a super cute story. I think the concept of how Cupid was written was interesting and unique. At least, unique to me because I’ve never seen a concept of Cupid written this way. I don’t typically like Cupid stories, maybe because they are all stereotypical, but I really liked this one, and I love that Raphael didn’t just want to make love matches, he made platonic friendship ones and ones with owners and their pet too. The pet one is the one that got me, honestly. I love animals and he’s so right, animals deserve to match with their meant to be owner also!

I love that what’s his name got what he deserved to him. See, he was such an awful guy that I already forgot his name, lol. I was almost expecting Raphael to be the one to replace the guy, but I honestly don’t think Raphael would have fit that job or liked it anyway.

I’m not really the biggest fan of a ton of drama, so while I’m glad that the whole thing with the job issue was fast, and justification was executed, I almost feel like the story just needed something more. I don’t know, just a weird feeling I get, but I still loved the story regardless, and Raphael and Damien are cute together. Also, triplet demons? Awesome!

Overall, this was a great story and I’m glad this is a series about all three of the triplet demon brothers finding their mates. Those are my fave types of series.

Raphael & Damien

A cherub and incubus find love and acceptance. I love the story and the narrator did a wonderful job.

Cupid + Incubus = 💘

It is a cute and entertaining story with lots of steam. Tail and wing kink guaranteed! 🌶️

Both Raphael and Damien were very likable, even if Raphael came across as rather prickly in the beginning. Damien is also one third of triplets and owns a candy shop with his brothers. Their dynamic was great, lots of teasing but also brotherly love. I think the following books in the series will focus on the brothers and their love interests.


I would have liked to know more about the world built and due to it being such a short book there is also some depth missing. But still, a quick and enjoyable read/listen!

Paranormal

Raphael by Toby Wise is a great paranormal romance. Richard Pendragon did a great job with the narration. The story is entertaining, interesting, erotic and more. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. Highly recommend
