 The romance in CLAIMED BY A DEMON KING felt a bit like a caveman trying to woe a modern day woman, and as odd as that may sound, it actually works well when paired with vampires, werewolves, and elves. Thorne is hella sexy with his retractable horns, impressive wingspan and sharp claws, and Sable brings a whole new meaning to the expression "good things come in little packages." I enjoyed the back-and-worth between this unlikely couple, learning more about Felicity Heaton's demon realm, and that the last three-quarters of this book is one big supernatural free-for-all. Yes, this story has a little something for everyone. 
 One of my favourite things about starting any new series is the world-building; in KISSED BY A DARK PRINCE we learned about the elves that make up Heaton's ETERNAL MATES universe, and book 2 is all about Hell a.k.a. the demon realm. I liked how everything in Thorne's kingdom felt larger than life; from his castle, to his army, to the man himself. I was surprised to learn that there are no demon females and that their fated ones are usually mortal. It was an interesting way to make a three thousand year old virgin believable and helped add a vulnerable side to these seemingly invincible preternaturals. I was also super fascinated by the king's horns, they are in constant flux, and I couldn't help but think dirty thoughts every time the author referenced them. 
 It's not very often that I fall instantly in love with a fictional character, and a secondary one at that, but there's just something about Bleu--he's arrogant, unapologetic, and manipulative. Given the title of this book, I knew that Thorne and Sable were going to end up together, but it was fun watching the elf compete for the heroine's affections. Even more characters get added to the mix in this novel, including Grave and Night which have to be some of the most ironic vampire names ever but made for a few interesting jokes. Snow from Heaton's VAMPIRE EROTIC THEATRE series also makes a cameo appearance; I haven't tackled these novels yet but after meeting this savage animal, I'll definitely be rectifying that sooner rather than later. 
 I like how both of the main characters were hardcore alphas, and that neither of them wanted to give an inch, even for love. In this world, a couple knows they are eternal mates when they start having naughty dreams about each other so even though the sex was a long time in coming, there's still plenty of sultry dream scenes to keep Paranormal Romance readers satiated. Thorne quickly endeared himself to me with his willingness to do things Sable's way which for a king, seems like a pretty impressive feat in itself. The huntress went through an equally life-changing transformation from demon slayer to future queen of her enemies, and a few shocking truths from her past helped to complicate things even further along the way. 
 Epic demon battles, surprise allies, and, fun cameos, made this book an all around fab read. CLAIMED BY A DEMON KING will leave you hoping that there is a Hell, and that Thorne has a brother!
