The Cursed Prince is a steamy fantasy romance that follows Natalia Baptisia, a humble handmaiden who finds herself tangled in elven politics, dangerous magic, and forbidden love. What begins as a simple servant’s journey alongside a vain princess turns into a dark, passionate tale of curses, temptation, and destiny. The book blends sensuality, mystery, and fantasy into a story that feels alive and raw. It’s a world filled with beauty and danger, where every spell, kiss, and betrayal carries a heavy price.

From the first chapter, I was drawn to Natalia’s voice. She’s quick-witted, stubborn, and delightfully human. I liked how she wasn’t some perfect heroine chosen by fate, but instead a regular woman tossed into an extraordinary situation. Veronica Rose writes with a kind of reckless honesty. The dialogue feels natural, the emotions sharp, and the tension between Natalia and Prince Ryker hums with energy. The writing moves fast, and even when it slows for a moment of quiet or reflection, the air still feels thick with danger and longing. The way Rose describes Elwood and its haunting beauty is seductive. The book pulls you in, and you don’t really come up for air.

Some scenes are wildly intense, both emotionally and physically, and sometimes the romance teeters on chaos. I caught myself wanting Natalia to stop running toward danger for once. But maybe that’s what makes her feel so real. She makes mistakes. She feels deeply. She loves in a way that’s messy and reckless and painfully sincere. The prose itself has a rhythm to it, almost like music, one moment gentle, then suddenly wild and burning. It’s not a book that holds your hand. It drags you through its emotions and leaves you a little breathless at the end.

When I closed the book, I sat for a long time thinking about it. The Cursed Prince isn’t just about love or lust or curses. It’s about choice, and how love can break you even as it saves you. I’d recommend this to readers who love romantic fantasy that doesn’t play it safe. If you liked A Court of Thorns and Roses or From Blood and Ash, you’ll probably fall hard for this one. It’s dark, it’s passionate, and it’s not afraid to make you emotional.
