KISS OF A DEMON KING
"Perennial favorite Cole continues to round out her Immortals After Dark world with kick-butt action and scorching passion!"
--Romantic Times
"Kresley Cole knows what paranormal romance readers crave and superbly delivers on every page."
--Single Titles
"Full of magic, mayhem, sorcery, and sensuality. Readers will not want to miss one word of this memorable and enchanting tale. The closer to the end I got the slower I read because I knew once the story ended I would be left craving more of this brilliant and emotionally gripping saga. ... It is truly one of the most amazing tales Kresley Cole has ever released."
--Wild On Books
"Cole deftly blends danger and desire into a brilliantly original contemporary paranormal romance. She neatly tempers the scorchingly sexy romance between Sabine and Rydstrom with a generous measure of sharp humor, and the combination of a cleverly constructed plot and an inventive cast of characters in
Kiss of a Demon King
is simply irresistible."

all my heartfelt thanks to Louise Burke, publisher extraordinaire.
I'm on a man-fast. Why bother with them? The good ones are always taken. Or they're weirdly uninterested in a capricious wild child with continuous legal problems.

My enemies have deemed me fearless. 'Tis no compliment. The only males who know no fear are the ones who have nothing to lose.
