Stolen From the Demon Prince (Sins of the Blood War Book 2) by Lauren Crowne
Description
The demon prince is possessive, jealous, and determined to protect what is his.
Can the prince ever see me, a former fae slave, as his equal?
Or will he always see me as only a possession to protect?
The longer Leo and I are in the demon kingdom, the more obvious it becomes to both of us that it’s not safe for me to stay there with him. Demons want to take me from him at every turn, and rival factions are eager to use me as a pawn to hurt the prince.
When it seems impossible for us to be together, will the prince abandon his title, throne, and kingdom for me?
Or should I seek out the fae city and find a new home with my own kind?
Despite all of the forces working against us, deep down I know that the only home I’ve ever wanted was with him.
Unfortunately for me, there are demons who will refuse to let that happen.
All books in the Sins of the Blood War series contain spicy tension, deliciously steamy scenes, characters who talk (and curse) like adults, and occasional moments of violence. Leo’s a prince who can do whatever he wants, after all, and in this book, what he wants is her.

My Review
Book two had me gripped from almost the first page! You really do need to read book one before reading this one. And be prepared for the cliffhanger in this one! It took me by surprise 😉
Leo is the prince/captor/saviour and definitely Vera’s tormentor, he’s a genius with an affinity for tinkering and making new inventions. He’s addicted to his newest obsession, he can’t get enough of Vera.
Vera is just a fae slave, held for her blood and anything else that her owner wishes to do with her….
But she’s blossoming under Leo’s protection. She was pretty sassy beforehand, but she had to watch her tone, with Leo she can just be herself.
Being together has Vera’s powers coming into its own, but she doesn’t know when or what her powers are! It’s frustrating, is it being with Leo releasing her powers? Or was she just a late bloomer?
Being together feels right. But how can they be together, when both know it’s only a matter of time before something or someone tries to split the pair up!
So what path will she choose? Let’s hope we don’t have to wait to long to find out….
The characters are evolving and taking me by surprise in places.
We get to meet daddy dearest (and he’s really not a nice fellow!) and watch as factions of demons make a play for Leo’s kingdom! He needs to keep an eye out as they are after Vera (that’s his biggest weak spot!)
I do like this trilogy, it’s a little slow in places, and I wouldn’t really call it a dark romance, but it is good, and I would happily recommend this book and the previous one.
