Sypnosis: For Bryn Meara, a free trip to the exclusive and ultra-luxe Nightfall hotel and casino in Vegas should’ve been the perfect way to escape the debris of her crumbling career. But waking up from a martini-and-lust-fueled night to find herself married to Caiden Verran, the reclusive billionaire who owns the hotel and most of the city, isn’t the jackpot one would think. It seems her dark and sexy new husband is actual royalty—the fae king of the Night Court—and there’s an entire world beneath the veil of Vegas.

Whether light or shadow, the fae are a far cry from fairy tales, and now they’ve made Bryn a pawn in their dark games for power. And Caiden is the most dangerous of all—an intoxicating cocktail of sin and raw, insatiable hunger. She should run. But every night of passion pulls Bryn deeper into his strange and sinister world, until she’s no longer certain she wants to leave…even if she could.

Review: Ever since I saw this pop up on my feeds a few weeks ago, I eagerly saved the date and waited. When the book arrived, I was so happy and ate the entire book up in one single night. It was page-turning and the characters were three-dimensional. They charmed and made you invested in the story until the very end.

Bryn is given a wonderful gift when she is offered a getaway trip to Vegas. All for free. This is the best luck she has had. Even more, she garners the attention of Caiden Verran. One thing leads to another and the two find themselves awakening to not only a hangover but married and mated. For Caiden, this is a nightmare. He is the King of the Night Court and enemies abound and are looking for anything to tear him apart. It doesn't help that that what he feels for Bryn is much more accurate than he ever imagined. Secrets are unraveled and things are twisting and turning as we end this first book of the Deviant Kings.

I loved, loved this book. It has been the first book in a while that kept me glued to the very end of the page and still wanting the next book. I don't think I can even wait for the next book. I need to know what happens now. xD Seriously, this book was a real page-turner, and I absolutely loved the characters.

The book is filled with steamy romance and BDSM scenes. If you cannot handle those types of romances, then this story may not be something for you but otherwise, you will enjoy the realm of the Night Court and its princes.
