4 We Were Bad Royals Stars �

A descendent of the hunters meant to protect the humans from the monsters. Except Ophelia is an anomaly. Instead she fantasizes about the monsters thus making her useless to the cause.

Cast out and living among the humans, Ophelia has been summoned to take part in a treaty between the Hunters and the Shades. One that sees her married to the King of Darkness himself. Little does he know that his wife comes willingly.

Pity for him that he didn’t know my brain was wired wrong. Whenever I saw pointed teeth, I imagined them pressing against the delicate skin of my neck, pinning me in place while my monstrous lover fucked me ruthlessly into the mattress.

King Allerick is all about creating safe passage for the Shades throughout the realms. And if it means marrying the enemy to do so, he will. Although fearless and strong, he's totally daft when it comes to his new wife. As a monster that feeds off fear, he is no match for his Queen. For she has pride in spades and is always one step ahead.

I was going to stand my ground. He didn’t get to have horny Ophelia. Rude kings who probably had a harem of monster side chicks didn’t get to have horny wives.

Yet when Allerick discovers that the scent his wife permeates is in fact lust not fear, well the monster is coming out to play. How lucky his wife is more than ready to get on cock, I mean on board. And as Ophelia becomes more at home in the Dark Kingdom, they are unlocking a long lost legacy that Allerick is too stupid to see.

By the goddesses, I hoped this was more than just a monster-fucking fetish for Ophelia, because it was fast becoming everything to me.

I swear this author is underrated. The writing is fantastic, her imagination vivid, the sex scenes smoking and the wittiness between the characters completely engaging. I thought the story could have used more of an emotional connection between the two and less monster politics. Kinky and sweet, I loved the whole fantasy world created.

BR with Rain, who is always willing to try something different with me. And yay we got it right!
