Part of the Prince of Sin Series · Book 2

Two rivals torn apart by a dark memory reunite on a deadly hunt--and in an irresistibly twisted fairy tale--in the next steamy standalone fantasy romance from New York Times bestselling sensation Kerri Maniscalco.

A wicked prince determined to save his kingdom.

Gabriel Axton--infamous as the Prince of Gluttony, the self-proclaimed rake of rakes--has always lived for indulgence: in delicious food, in tantalizing women, and most of all, in the thrill of the hunt, where his love of danger can take over. But when his favorite adventure takes a deadly turn, he realizes something is very wrong in his demon court. With the clock ticking, he must turn to the only one who might uncover the truth: a journalist he has spent a decade avoiding...

A reporter hell-bent on finding the truth.

Adriana Saint Lucent has been on the hunt for years--if she could just report something damning enough about that no-good scoundrel Gabriel Axton, she knows others would finally see the demon as she does. But she never expected to turn up a rumor too terrifying to be believed: could the ice dragons to the north be growing restless? Drawn into the secrets of the Underworld, Adriana's investigation leads her into the place she dreads most...Axton's infamous court. 

A dangerous rivalry--and deliciously twisted fairy tale.

To stop darkness from falling over their kingdom, Axton and Adriana will have to unite against an escalating danger. But with each holding tight to their own secrets, can they find the truth before it's too late? And what will they do with an equally troubling rumor: that they might not actually hate one another, after all?

The Criteria

Why It Passed

No author paid to be here. The shelf is not sponsored. Every book is read in full before it ever reaches you, then weighed against four things we refuse to bend on. Here is how this one held up.

Passed

writing

The prose does the work without showing off. You forget you're reading and just fall in.

Passed

characters

Nobody here is only a love interest. Even the side characters have a pulse and reason to exist.

Passed

pacing

The slow burn is genuinely slow. It earns every inch of tension instead of stalling for length.

Passed

payoff

The ending lands. No cheap cliff just to sell you the next one. (Okay. Maybe a small one. You'll survive!)
