The Demon King and I
by Candace Havens
2008
Gillian Caruthers is rich, glamorous, and secretly one of the Guardians protecting Earth from otherworldly threats. When a plague of demons hits, she has to work with a dangerous ally and trust her heart under impossible odds.
Dragons Prefer Blondes
by Candace Havens
2009
Socialite Alex Caruthers can handle monsters and mayhem, but a dragon warrior choosing her as his mate is another problem entirely. A fake boyfriend and real danger make this paranormal romance gloriously chaotic.
Series background & context
The Caruthers Sisters books take Candace Havens's taste for glamour, danger, and strong heroines and turn it up. These are paranormal romances with a bigger urban-fantasy feel, centered on wealthy sisters who are not just socialites but part of an old protective order with the fate of the world tangled up in their family line.
So yes, there are parties. There are also demons and dragons.
That contrast is most of the fun. The Caruthers sisters have money, style, and public lives, but underneath all that they are Guardians, women expected to hold the line against creatures and threats from other realms. Havens uses that setup well because it lets her write books that feel glossy on the surface while still carrying real supernatural stakes underneath.
The Demon King and I introduces Gillian, the eldest sister, and drops her into a crisis involving murderous demons and an uneasy alliance with someone who knows the enemy far too well. Dragons Prefer Blondes follows Alex, whose socialite image hides a woman fully capable of taking on dragon-level trouble. In both books, romance grows out of stress, mistrust, and the awkward fact that saving the world does not leave much room for a calm love life.
The tone is lively rather than brooding. Havens clearly enjoys writing women who can trade sharp lines one moment and fight off supernatural disaster the next. That makes the series a nice bridge between paranormal romance and urban fantasy. The world matters, but it never crowds out the characters.
If you like magical danger with designer shoes, snappy dialogue, and heroines who refuse to play helpless, the Caruthers Sisters books are easy to enjoy. They are flashy, fast, and built around the idea that being powerful does not mean being polished all the time.
