Pleasure of a Dark Prince by Kresley Cole

4.0

Skathi the Goddess of the Hunt rescues dying Lucia in exchange for a vow of celibacy. Prisoner of Crom Cruach who stole her innocence and now forever she must be sworn off men.

In comes her dark prince in shining Lykae Garreth Mac-Rieve Lykae who yearns for the return of his brother to return to his throne.

He might be her biggest weakness as she is "riding his crotch like a wanton as she sucked his tongue." His love as per his Lyake origin grows stronger each day: "Now you've taken... the heart from my chest."

Lucia the ultimate hunter will learn the true meaning of never missing when the Lykae tirelessly hunts her to claim her with his mark.

Lucia...Mistress of mixed signals with her cryptic words:. "the more I like you, the less I want you to know my secrets."

Then when she confesses she is married and who her husband is :

"Because... because I'm his wife." I felt the stab of these words through my own heart.

Their true feelings are shown in the end though:

"What was worse? Knowing that she'd lost him? Or that she might miss him more than her archery...?"

"What gives you the right to risk yourself?" He snapped, "Because you could move on if something happened to me (feels)

"I need you to know this. I'm in love with you."

After his battle he has lost himself to the beast unable to come to terms with her death.

After realization sets, the tables have turned and she must now hunt for Garrett who has turned ful Lykae with no sight of the man:

"I came here for my man, and I'm not leaving without him. If I have to live in there with Garreth, I will."

"Aunt Luce, would you bet your life on that?"..........................."He is my life now."

Nucking Futs...my girl.....reeling out the premonitions and setting the course for Fate....
