Publisher's summary

Reyes is a man possessed. Bound by the demon of pain, he is forbidden to know pleasure. Yet he craves a mortal woman, Danika Ford, more than breath and will do anything to claim her - even defy the gods.

Danika is on the run. For months she's eluded the Lords of the Underworld, immortal warriors who won't rest until she and her family have been destroyed. But her dreams are haunted by Reyes, the warrior whose searing touch she can't forget. Yet a future together could mean death to all they both hold dear.

Don't miss the other books in the Lords of the Underworld series.

One heck of a pain.

I have enjoyed the stories of the LOTU, but this one was a little on the sick side. Still a good story but I don’t enjoy the pleasure from pain kind of sex. I know this had to be considering his demon, and I don’t mind a bit of spanking but this was over the top in some of the scenes for a sexual build up. I like the characters and the main story; I will defiantly continue to read the remaining books in the series.

Lovely

I have read all the LOTU books since high school and still continue to purchase the latest and of course the newest spin off from this series (Can’t wait for The Warlord😍) Coming back to listen to them on Audible all but makes it even better. It’s like “reading” them all over again.

Gena never fails to write a great book!

Great Author

The story is getting old but the author continues to write very well, interject twists and background information that keeps the reader/listener interested.

Reyes/Danika

OMG! Never had a hero pulled this many emotions out of me! One minute, Reyes made me want to cry and hold him, then two minutes later I think he is the strongest warrior I have seen. The Warrior of Pain was a true pleasure. I was glad to see him with Danika, someone to take care of his wounds, and give him a few if needed. This book is worth a few re-reads.
