Moonlight and Magic #3

Deception & Desire

Rate this book
Publisher's Note: This title has been previously released with another publisher.

Being a demon prince ain't all it's cracked up to be.

Caught between the human world and the demon one, Tiny, part-time bouncer at Moonlight & Magic, lives by his own rules. Mainly these rules revolve around keeping his head down and making sure none of his kind find out where he is…because Tiny's on the demons’ most wanted list.

Not because he's done anything, but because of who he is. Prince Seren Di Lakai Telosa to be exact, heir apparent to the Demon throne. And a hunted man. If his father's men find him, he'll be dragged back to court to die of boredom. For the last three hundred years they've been grooming him to take over from dear old daddy. The only trouble is the stubborn old git could last at least another millennium.

So what's a Demon Prince to do? Get a job at Moonlight & Magic, of course, and keep his head down. Unfortunately Tiny has never been good at avoiding trouble, and when the delicate looking bounty hunter vampiress Cassia storms into his life, he finds himself tempted to break more than his personal rules…

Demonkind and the undead don't mix well, or rather, they mix too well, with explosive results.

An enjoyable fast read with tons of hot passion. If you're looking for a good paranormal lunch time romance this book would be great.

El que más me ha gustado de la serie, una pena que no sea un poco más largo para poder ver más de los personajes y de lo que pasa después de ese final.

Tiny is a demon that always works in a paranormal bar as a bouncer. It is owned by by a gargoyle who is willing to operate a bar for all the paranormal folks exceot for vampires. He hates vampires and refuses to allow them in his establishment because apparently his wife was killed by one.

But one, a female vampire gets into the bar and into Tiny's mind and the of them start a relationship inside the bar. Of course, Tiny has to keep it a secret even though his primary working partner seems to have figured it out. Meanwhile they have a second meeting at her house. But then Tiny's father tracks him down and finds him with the vampire and challenges them. It seems he can tell his son has feelings for this vampire and that really doesn't set well with him.

Tiny finds that he has the biggest decision of his life coming his way and makes it without any qualms at all.

I recommend this to anybody who enjoys stories about magical paranormal folks and their interactions be that friendships or the opposite.

Book 3 in this series.
Tiny is another doorman/ bouncer in Moonlight and Magic. When he sees Cassie kicking vampire butt he realises she is a hunter.
Cassie takes care of three preying vampires then goes into Moonlight and Magic for a drink. Unfortunately they have a strict No Vampires rule. Tiny hustles her out of harms way, they have sex then go their own ways.
Vampires and Demons don't mix so how do these two end up bonded?
Neither can forget the other and when the bonding marks show up they find themselves in front of Tiny's father. Except Cassie did not know Tiny is actually Prince Seren Di Lakai Telosa.
This book ended a bit abruptly for me.
A lovely story but I think this book is way overpriced for how short it is.
