The Demon's Captive: A Spicy Dark Romance

by Erin Fae Ryan

Princess Dahlia never liked being told what to do. So when she's captured by a demon lord on her way to her fiancé's palace, she really doesn't appreciate being confined to his bedchamber or the enchanted collar he locks around her neck...

But her handsome captor has wicked plans of his own, plans that involve disciplining his new feisty princess until her fiancé gives him what he wants.

Fortunately for him, Dahlia will not be easily tamed, and to her captor’s delight, she's always found more pleasure than pain in punishment.

Punishment Lord Tauren is more than happy to give...

With ballet dancing princesses, spicy discipline scenes, dungeons, magic compulsion, and a morally-black love interest who will not let his princess go, The Demon's Captive is perfect for readers who love sizzling dark romances with an enchanting fantasy twist.

This is the second standalone in the Twelve Dancing Princesses dark romance series. Each book features a different princess and can be read in any order, but it's recommended to start with The Assassin's Dancer, a spicy romance where the eldest sister is stalked by a handsome, obsessive assassin.

Be warned, this book contains many spicy scenes. Please check the triggers before reading 🖤

My jaw was on the FLOOR half this book because EXCUSE ME??? Erin Fae really said “let’s make this even spicier than book one” and I was just sitting there like DAMN OKAYYYYY 🌶️😭✨

I ate this UP so bad. Erin Fae really knows what she’s doing because I was OBSESSED the entire time. But honestly, I love everything she writes, so I’m not even surprised that I absolutely devoured this one too!! Read it in a day AGAIN because there was genuinely no way I was putting this down.

I loved the references to book one, seeing more of the sisters and their powers unfold, and just how addicting these books are to read. They flow so easily and before you know it you’re suddenly 300 pages deep at 2am 💀

And the spice????? 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Like actually FIVE PEPPERS because EXCUSE ME??? 🥵

Literally had the best time reading this. ☺️

If I was hooked with book one of the 12 dancing princess series, book two has me bent over with my ass in the air.

The Demons Captive gives the same princessy, possessive, easy read vibes as The Assassin's Dancer, just with an added layer of darkness and fantasy. Dahlia's bold, bratty and flirty personality keeps everyone on their toes. Luckily there's a firery Demon Lord who knows exactly how to whip her into shape.

This sequel could be read as a standalone. But if like me you crave a deeper story and want to learn more about these 'gifts' the princesses have been granted in book one, you won't be disappointed.

I can't wait to see which sister 'comes' next in this Barbie's 12 dancing princess themed dark romance.

Read the trigger warnings.
Or don't, you naughty girl 😉
