Book Description
Prince Maxon may be twenty-two years old now, but he’s still haunted by his boyhood abduction and torture in Hell. To deal with his past, Maxon limits his present-day activities to killing demons and seducing women. No long-term relationships. No combat too dangerous. No problem, right?
Wrong.
Maxon’s life has stalled out. The old thrills aren't there anymore, either on the battlefield or in the bedroom. While staking out his next fight, Maxon meets what seems like just another girl after a good time. What he gets is a close encounter with Lianna, a lady warrior with ties to the mysterious elemental rulers called the monarkki. It’s love at first fight. Trouble is, Lianna’s running from a dark history of her own, and her elemental enemies are closing in. When Lianna gets taken, Maxon realizes that after years of wrong choices and dead ends, the right woman is worth risking it all.
Book contains adult language and sexuality. Can be read as a standalone.

My Thoughts:
I just love Christina Bauer's books and this one was no exception. Maxon's life is in a rut. He won't let his friends know but there isn't really any thrill left in life. Killing demons is meh, women are meh, and life in general is just meh. Lianna is struggling with her own issues. She has taken on great power and has a jilted ex who doesn't like the idea of her moving on.
Their interaction was greatness. I loved they met with fighting and mocking. That just set the perfect tone for their relationship. His friends were wonderful and seeing his parents and grandmother again was a nice 'peek' into their lives. Mya will never change!
It was a 4/5 for me. I will be reading the next one.
