Crown Me Dead: A Dark Fantasy Romance (Heartstring Duet)
Liv Zander
by Karen Kincy
Pyrah is a dragon facing her first heat, a volatile biological necessity that should make her invincible. Instead, she finds herself collared and shackled by Rook, a lethal incubus and monster hunter who has managed the impossible: he has captured a dragon. Trapped in human form within her own cave, Pyrah is at the mercy of a man who feeds on desire, even as her own primal instincts demand she claim him.
Rook is the bastard son of a king with a target on his back and a moral code he desperately wants to uphold. He knows better than to touch his prisoner, especially when her seduction is a calculated bid for freedom. But as the lines between captor and captive blur, the incubus realizes that his most dangerous prey is the one he finds himself unwilling to let go.
This dark fantasy romance is a masterclass in tension, blending high-stakes royal intrigue with scorching paranormal chemistry. Featuring the ultimate enemies-to-lovers dynamic and a delicious captor-captive power struggle, this expanded edition offers both perspectives in a gripping tale of forbidden lust. If you are looking for a spicy, monster-filled read that refuses to play by the rules, this is your next obsession.

I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this book! I purchased it on a whim during a stuff your kindle day, figuring it would be cheesy. I'm so glad to say I was wrong. There was a story line to go along nicely with all the spicy moments. It was fast paced and the main character wasn't a weak damsel! I was really drawn in and didn't want to put it down! ) 2 people found this helpful

When came across this book to read the cover caught my eye. I was beautiful and i got me instantly interested. When i started reading i was drawn into the story. The spice was very good and the story was i personally believe a great story but i think that it felt rushed and that there could have been so much more with the story. I believe it is great but it could have been better. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. ) 2 people found this helpful

Great story line but ending. Left something to be desired, I feel the sequels should have been one book. Not for kids. That's. For sure. )

I didn’t expect to like this book as much as I did. I was preparing myself for the worst since the last few romantasy novels I’ve read were inta-love insta-lust built on top of lukewarm chemistry and terrible dialogue. The writing was solid, with just enough worldbuilding and engaging plot to be an engaging and easy read. The characters were flawed, likeable, believable, and I genuinely enjoyed the growing attraction between them as well as the tension and obstacles they faced when deciding how...
