BBNYA Spotlight - In Which a Demon King Does Not Have a Romantic Interest in His Human Gardener by Rori Thornton

I reviewed this book last year, check out my ARC review where I said (among other things):

This is a delightful, sex-positive story with a (probably autistic) aro/ace demon king protagonist who is convinced that since he's never had a crush before he can't possibly have one now. It's the first of several volumes, telling a mostly-complete story of the demon king finding the gardener and getting him set up officially to continue what he'd been doing in secret. It revolves around the demon king's daily activities and conversations as he handles the logistics necessary to integrate a human into a brand-new position.
