I remember when reading the first book in this series, Dangerous King, and learning what really happened to Kir, I knew his and Jayna’s story was going to be a doozy. I was so right! I was equally heart broken for and in awe of the strength of Jayna. She has been in mourning of Kir’s death for the past two and a half years. Through this grief she has also rebuilt herself into this amazing business woman. And now, even if she has built a wall around her heart, she has decided it was time to move on. But at the same time, Kir has finally decided it was time to come out of the shadows and back in Jayna’s life. He was prepared for how difficult it was going to be and how much hell she was going to put him through, but he loves her too much and now with the added danger surrounding her, he refuses to give up.

Jayna is definitely not the same woman she was and she definitely let it be known to Kir. But even with all that anger, despair and hurt, the intensity, chemistry and physical need for each other was as strong as ever. So on top of Kir fighting for their marriage, he is also making it his mission to keep Jayna safe. One of her many business dealings has put a target on her back. This time, they are going to be equal partners. No more secrets from each other, it was going to be all on the table.

I absolutely loved this book so much, I was on the fence with Kir’s decisions but I felt for everything he had endured too. The love these two had for each other was all consuming, even with how angry Jayna was, she knew she would not be able to lose him again. Vicious Prince was a fantastic book and another 5 star read.
