Owned by Magic (Ruled by Magic, #2)
Zara J. Black
I'll be safe in the prince's bed, from everyone but him. I stole from a brutal street gang, and now they want me dead. There’s only one place they can’t touch me. The palace. But safety comes at the cost of my freedom. I'll sell myself as a courtesan, serve for five years, and leave with enough money to pay my debt. Crown Prince Adante wields his power like a knife, and when his gaze turns my way, I know he could destroy me. An innocent mistake earns his attention—along with bruised knees and a painful punishment. I should listen to the others. I shouldn't catch his eye again. But I've always courted danger, and in the prince, I see a chance at power and revenge. He loves to gamble—sadistic games of pleasure and pain. All I can wager are my body, mind, and soul. And I play to win.

Owned by Magic tells the story of Talia, a strong woman who has no choice but to be part of the Collection for the nobles and royalty of her country. She is strong and feisty. She is so real that sometimes it was hard to remember that this is fantasy!
The hero of this story is Crown Prince Asante. He is in no way a good man, but he really grew on me and I understand that he is truly a product of his environment.
The two of them together - hot HOT! This is not a traditional BDSM relationship because of the power imbalance, however, so they are going to have to work through that.
0I love this series. It's well written with great character development. I enjoyed seeing a didn't side of our villain from book 1 & more of this world. My 1 niggling issue is the same I had for the first book. I want there be duel perspective. That's all. I just want to see the men brought to their knees with desire, through their own eyes.
