Publisher Description
All work and no wicked play makes Tiernan a very unsatisfied king…
Of all the Verran brothers, Tiernan is the least suited to wear the Night Court crown. The Rebel Prince is happy with no responsibilities or accountability—just the freedom to pursue his own dark, lush pleasures in Sin City. Including his secret hunger for a certain smart-mouthed, fiery redhead.
Only, the possibility of having Fiona is stripped away when Tiernan is thrust into the one role he never wanted: king. As king of the Dark Fae, wanting—let alone pursuing—anything with a lower-caste fae like Fiona would shift from fun…to forbidden.
Now war is emerging from the shadows of Vegas, and Tiernan is caught between who he’s meant to be and who he wants. And somewhere in this maelstrom of lust, love, and rebellion is the key to the Dark Fae’s survival…even if the cost is more than he can imagine.
Each book in the Deviant Kings series is STANDALONE:
* The Dark King
* The Rebel King
* The Vicious King
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Returning to Las Vegas's fae underworld, Maxwell's red hot second Deviant Kings paranormal romance (after The Dark King) brings the sizzle. Fae Tiernan Verran, the "rebel prince," is the unlikely—and somewhat unenthusiastic—new heir to the Night Court throne after his brother Caiden abdicated his royal duties to marry Bryn, the woman he fell in love with in the first installment. Tiernan's succession may also be complicated by his love for a woman: feisty redhead Fiona Jewel, who has always been looked down on in fae society for being a "halfling," half fae and half human. Tiernan loves Fiona deeply, but with evil forces closing in on the Night Court, the royal council convinces him he needs to marry a pure-blooded fae to consolidate power. Meanwhile, Fiona learns a devastating secret about her family history and her status in the fae realm. When magical war breaks out in earnest, Tiernan comes up with a risky plan that will have life changing consequences for all. The tight plotting and snappy dialogue keep the pages turning, while the taut sexual tension makes things steamy. Readers will be left clamoring for the next entry in the series.
Customer Reviews
Good
More about Tiernan and Fiona, less about "war" would be perfect.
I do like it and spice was really good.
I don't know who's more rebel - Tiernan or Fiona haha Or maybe both since they lived by different rules from the very beginning.
"Fi, how you feel is never ridiculous. And it's okay to be mad at your eyes. I'll show them enough love until you're ready to love them, too."
I iust wish there was a little bit more about them - just them without the whole war thing. Just take the war out and give me all sweet and kinky moments Tiernan could give Fiona.
The Rebel King
The Rebel King by Gina L Maxwell
Deviant King series, book 2. Fantasy romance. Can be read as a stand-alone but better as part of the series. Characters overlap but are secondary. Alternating chapter by Tiernan and Fiona.
Tiernan is soon to be King of the Dark Fae since his brother abdicated to keep his wife safe. Tiernan didn’t expect to ever be King and he’s been more of a Rebel his whole life. But he will do his duty. After this one last task.
Fiona has had an intimate relationship with Tiernan recently but they now must hide and meet in secret since she’s just a housekeeper in his home. She finds out she’s human when the Dark Fae are under attack but they are family and she will help track down the threat.
Explosive and gripping. Dark and sexy. Tiernan and Fiona together rate combustible.
Loved this second book of possibly tragic love then resolved and won. Can’t wait for the next brother to get his book.
I received a copy of this from NetGalley. Opinions are my own.
