If you're craving a super steamy romantasy with a hero who's morally gray (to say the least!), a badass heroine, tons of political intrigue, Black fae, and dragon-like creatures, then you absolutely need to grab Vicious Oaths by N.E. Davenport!This book was fantastic – but buckle up for a wild ride that's both incredibly bloody and unbelievably sexy. It throws you into the story of a princess forced into an engagement with a high king who's already offed four wives. But during the wedding ceremo...

The classic fairytale of a pre-wedding one-night stand turned kidnapping. This is definitely going on my list of standalone books with *serious* spice. Even though it’s a quick read, the tension is fantastic.

The world-building and magic were impressively developed for a standalone! Overall, a really fun read… but seriously… *very* spicy 🤣. If you're looking for a **spicy fantasy book review**, check out **Vicious Oaths** by N.E. Davenport!

This was incredibly average. Like, 90% steamy scenes and maybe 10% actual plot. I went in with such high expectations for Vicious Oaths by N.E. Davenport, but unfortunately, it just didn't deliver. I definitely expected too much. If you're looking for a book review that's honest, here it is: skip this one.

Vicious Oaths was such a blast! It's the kind of fun that makes you want to overthrow tyrants and the patriarchy, all while flirting with your ridiculously attractive enemy as you plot their downfall. Seriously, this dark fantasy romance is addictive.First things first: spice tolerance is subjective, just like books and art. So, a heads-up: this book is SPICY. It gets a full 5 out of 5 chili rating from me. And trust me, I've never given out a full 5 before, and I read a TON of romantasy. Honest...

N.E. Davenport's *Vicious Oaths* is a proper romantasy banger. It's got the whole shebang: morally ambiguous characters you can't help but root for, a brooding, powerful mentor figure, enemies-to-lovers tension that sizzles, a possessive 'touch her and die' vibe, plenty of spice, and a badass female warrior who rides a dragon-esque creature (you get the idea!). Plus, tons of action. The pace is relentless; something's always popping off, so there's zero chance of getting bored while reading *Vic...

“I feel like you’re just here for the zipline.” - Me to whoever cared more about the sex scenes than anything else.If you’re just looking at the first half of this book, you’d think it was meant to be erotica, and it somehow slipped through the cracks at a non-romance-focused publisher. However, once you finally get past the midpoint, the fantasy actually kicks in.However, that means **Vicious Oaths** was a bit of a letdown for me. While I knew this was a romantasy going in, I was still expectin...

This novel, Vicious Oaths by N.E. Davenport, was such a thrilling dark romance fantasy! It was enjoyable from beginning to end, emotional, tense, and full of mystery! The enemies-to-lovers tension in this book was *intense*. The female main character, Kadeesha, was extremely strong and powerful! Vicious Oaths also delivers court intrigue and a magical world. The plot was well-paced and easy to follow. I was genuinely surprised by how spicy this book was! I'd rate it a 3 out of 5 on the spice sca...

⚔️🖤 Bookish ThoughtsSix stars. I devoured *Vicious Oaths* in a single sitting.The world-building was completely immersive, and I became utterly obsessed with the magic system! Our main characters were powerful, unhinged, and deliciously morally gray. And maybe a little bit toxic, but I was absolutely here for it. This is an easy contender for best fantasy book review I've written this year!Kadeesha was a total badass from the get-go. Determined, stubborn, and always ready to throw fire (literal...

Unfortunately, "Vicious Oaths" just didn't quite click for me. It started with a bang, but around the 25% mark, the writing got a little tangled and hard to follow. The pacing felt like wading through molasses, and the enemies-to-lovers vibe between the main characters just didn't have the spark and build-up I was craving. Things got physical way too fast, which killed the slow-burn tension and angsty payoff that usually makes this trope so good. Some of the stylistic choices—like the guys weari...
