elliereadsromantasy 's review for:
Kiss of a Demon King
by Kresley Cole
I found this on a list of recommendations for romances between two villains, and the synopsis seems to point in that direction. Unfortunately this didn't scratch that itch for me. The "villainous" heroine is in fact just misunderstood, and her "Demonic" love interest is the canonically the nicest, most upstanding guy around. So, yeah, not the dark love story it's marketed as.
There also wasn't a huge amount of romance. Or bonding of any kind. There was some sex, but it was a strange blend of outlandish and perfunctory. The most memorable line of the book for me was the heroine thinking to herself "The sexual tension had been palpable," referring to something that had just happened off screen... um, okay, how about you show us that, then?!
There was also a non-romantic plot that I very sincerely did not care about. The pacing of this wasn't handled well at all, with the first half of the book filled with exposition only for everything to be wrapped up at lightspeed in the span of half a chapter.
2/5, not the worst thing I've ever read, but I'm not interested in picking up more from this author.
