The Devil's Concubine

by Jaide Fox

By the time Princess Aliya had reached marriageable age, she was renowned far and wide as the fairest in the land. For not only was she fair of face and figure, but she had a voice so sweet it could charm the birds from the trees and a heart that was warm, and sweet, and giving. And it came to pass that the heir to every kingdom vowed to have her for his own and it seemed war would erupt. Her beleaguered father was at a loss to decide where to bestow the hand of his cherished daughter, for in giving her to one he was certain to make many more enemies. At last, pushed to come to a decision, he decreed that only the strongest and bravest deserved her. A great contest was announced. The head of every kingdom was invited to send their champion to vie for her hand in marriage..the head of every kingdom save those ruled by the unnaturals, for King Andor could not bear to bestow his beautiful daughter on any of the creatures from the shadowy world of the unnaturals. When the news of this slight traveled through the realms of the unnaturals, King Talin of the tribe of the Golden Falcons was infuriated. He had no desire to take a human as his bride, but he would not allow the insult to go unchallenged. Disguised and in human form, he joined those gathering for the contest and stole the fair princess away, carrying her to his own kingdom where he returned the insult to the unnaturals by taking her as his concubine, rather than his bride. Rating: Contains explicit sex, graphic language, and mild violence.

About the author

Jaide Fox has always had a passion for fantasy and the paranormal, having discovered both at a young age and devouring every book she could get her hands on, watching every movie that even hinted at her interests. It wasn't until she was in high school that her mother introduced her to romance--and she was hopelessly hooked.

Eroticism has never really been a part of fantasy, nor romance, and Jaide craved to see the two combined. Not able to find anything on the current market, she decided she'd write her own books to satisfy herself.

Jaide hopes readers will enjoy her first offering from NCP. She has many more novels planned and is currently breathing life into other adventures.

She lives in the middle of nowhere in a swamp, surrounded by all sorts of wild creatures (including snakes and spiders--which she gets rid of on sight!) and one mottled black cat who ambushes her from time to time.

Also writes Erotic Historical Romances under Julia Keaton and Celeste Anwar.

Reviews

[Jane Doe · Rating 2 out of 5]

Story line was interesting, but didn't flow well, at times I thought I had missed a page, because of the abrupt change within the chapters.
This story is an excellent example of a guy starting a war because he was doing his thinking with his little head (although the book describes him as large lol)
Female lead tstl, she does an about-face after he does her...gag and not in a good way.
This is a series, will try the next one, with the hope it flows better and has a smarter female lead.

this cover makes me laugh

I like the premise of the story, but the Heroine is too fickle for my taste. I find her childish and spoiled. She is not strong in character from what I can tell and her feelings don't feel genuine. I'm strongly reminded of those girls from the MTV show, "My Super Sweet 16."
