even better than the first book

When I read the first book, I was pleasantly surprised. This was an author that was new to me. The blurb drew me in and I became a fan. I was eager for the second book. What I wasn't expecting was for this book to put the first book to shame, in a manner of speaking, but somehow she has done just that.

This world is amazing. Regardless of whether the characters are primary or secondary, they are exceptional. Add in the actual story, banter, and steam balanced together and this series is quickly becoming a favorite. Even more than just the brothers in this series, I'm mesmerized by the possibility of other characters as well (looking at you Dimitri) which has me hoping that this world continues or has a spin-off.

Very excited for what is to come. That preview of what is to come is brutal!… (more)

The Vicious King
Book #3 and conclusion in the Deviant King series. Paranormal erotic romantic suspense. Can be read as a stand-alone but better as part of the series since the couples from the prior books play a secondary role in this book.
Finnian Verran, the third and redundant Dark Fae Prince agrees to help a vampire find his kidnapped sister who is the daughter of the One True Queen. Finding and rescuing Taryn Emory starts a fate that was seen generations ago. Taryn and Finnian must find the Spear of Assal before the ruthless Light King destroys Faerie.
As Taryn and Finnian draw closer, he introduces her to the art and pleasures of shibari. It can calm the mind and it can heighten pleasure and they both find it helpful as their quest gets dangerous.
The fate of faekind rests in their hands as they fight to defeat the most vicious of kings.

Finnian is a second spare. Not necessarily needed for family business. But he had a feeling a safe house would be needed, and his gut proves correct. Saving Taryn starts a quest and adds danger to every member of his family.
Finnian is a cinnamon hero and Taryn calls him on it. He agrees. But he can also be a Dom. And she likes that too.
Suspense and steamy erotica scenes, with a touch of humor, move this story quickly from the height of danger to breathless anticipation and back to fighting for their lives. It’s a conclusion that will surprise and feel exactly right.
