Determined to succeed, she intentionally gets captured by the vampires in order to infiltrate the Volmasque Academy in search of a wolf pact to help further her revenge. Volmasque Academy is known for teaching wolf shifters to be subservient to vampires in the bedroom and in life. Nathaniel, a vampire, ends up claiming Kira and sets off to tame her but Kira is headstrong. With their constant need to challenge each other their feelings get complicated.

“Collared by the Vampire Prince” by Darcy Fayton was so spicy. It was so spicy however that I didn’t actually care about the main story plot until the last 40 pages. It was really good though if you like super erotic books with enemies to lovers, dark romance, BDSM, Dom/Sub, degrading kinks, paranormal, and age gaps. I got the feeling during reading though that the story line will be more important in the second book then it was in the first book, which I felt was set up more for character development. I give it a 4 out of 5 stars.

Let’s start off by saying HOLY SPICE 🌶️🌶️ The scenes in this book are not for the faint of heart! I love a good vampire/ werewolf romance. Nathaniel is closed off and cold while Kira is strong willed and determined. She has one goal in her life and that’s to join the highest ranking pack and do away with all vampires.

The tension between her and Nathaniel’s first meeting was already at an all time high and only escalated from there!

THE ENDING had me screaming! I did not see that coming at all!

I cannot wait to read the second book!

The story has a great plot, fast paced, there are no dull or uninteresting parts at all. The world building is descriptive without being full of filler details, and I absolutely appreciate that!!
That being said, it is VERY heavy on "analysis" play. VERY. So, if you aren't into that, maybe skip this one.

Collared by the Vampire Prince is book one in the Kira & Nathaniel's Duet by Darcy Fayton.
This paranormal romance is wonderfully dark, and spicy.
I enjoyed every single minute reading it.
And I can’t wait to get book two.

I was skeptical about this book going in. The title made me assume it would be very focused on the spicy romantic aspects of the story without much plot or character. Typically when that happens I lose interest quickly.

I wouldn’t say that this book defied those expectations. It was definitely very romance and smut heavy, however that is how the book is advertised. The problem comes in when the characterization and world building is low. Without any stake in the characters or what happens to them, it’s hard to care about their intimate relationship. I felt this book suffered from that greatly.

However, it would be remiss for me to say this book wasn’t entertaining. I completely devoured the entire thing in a few days. It is a good palate cleanser and a light read after a long day. While it wasn’t necessary peak literature, it was good fun.

This is the first book of two and having read this one, I am really looking forward to the next book in the series!

The characters were well developed and I loved the mix of personalities and getting to know them as they book progressed

The book had a well developed and planned out storyline and I thought it was really well written. It really held my attention and I flew through the pages as I wanted to find out what was happening – not one for the feint hearted!

It is 4 stars from me for this one, I really enjoyed it – highly recommended

I probably should have known after reading Bedded by the Headmaster that I probably wouldn't enjoy this one set in the same world. The prince is a straight up asshole and again the whole almost-but-not-quite beastiality thing just wasn't for me (when they say that the gangbang that feels more like a gang rape will only be in human form since she's a virgin?? But I guess it would be fair game for a bunch of wolves to gang rape her if she wasn't a virgin???). Unfortunately, this one just wasn't for me.

Really Spicy book and what a start of this series! I also bought already the second book of this duel :) Read the trigger warnings.
i was little bit bummed becouse i got denied the second dual of this series, which includes Arken and Susies pov, But i will buy them on amazon. :)
