a dance with the fae prince summary

Cinderella meets THE CRUEL PRINCE in this stand-alone fantasy romance about a human girl and her marriage to the prince of the fae.

She knew her hand in marriage would be sold. She had no idea a fae prince was the buyer.

Katria swore she’d never fall in love. She’s seen what “love” means through the cruelty of her family. So when she’s married off to the mysterious Lord Fenwood for a handsome price, all Katria wants is a better life than the one she’s leaving. Feelings are off the table.

But her new husband makes not falling in love difficult.

As their attraction begins to grow, so too do the oddities within her new life: strange rules, screams in the night, and attacks by fae that Katria never thought were real. When she witnesses a ritual not meant for human eyes, Katria finds herself spirited away to the land of Midscape.

Surviving the fae wilds as a human is hard enough. Katria must survive as a human who accidentally pilfered the magic of ancient kings — magic a bloodthirsty king is ready to kill her for in order to keep his stolen throne — and her new husband is the rightful heir in hiding.

The power to save the fae is in her hands. But who will save her from a love she vowed never to feel?

A Dance with the Fae Prince is a complete, *stand-alone novel*, inspired by the tales of Psyche and Eros, as well as Cinderella, with a “happily ever after” ending. It’s perfect for romantic fantasy readers who enjoyed A Court of Silver Flames and An Enchantment of Ravens. A Dance with the Fae Prince features a slow-burn romance and a swoon-worthy couple.

a dance with the fae prince review

for those of you who don’t know, you don’t have to read a deal with the elf king prior to starting a dance with the fae prince. but yes, they’re set in the same world, with a dance with the fae prince being set after.

i loved this book. no. i adored this book. i didn’t think i could love a dance with the fae prince more than the first book, and boy i was wrong!

not only was the plot well written, but the characters and their romance was very well developed. (what more could you ask for???) i liked that everything just flowed, and nothing felt forced. i wasn’t bored for one moment, nor was i left wanting more. (who am i kidding, i need more!!)

as for the characters, i loved katria. i liked how strong willed and determined she was. i also really liked that she wasn’t going to let an arranged marriage ruin her future. (which luella, from a deal with the elf king, also did)

davien, on the other hand, was a perfectly written man – elise kova really knows how to write a good male! i really enjoyed that he was trying to makes things as comfortable for katria as he could, despite the fact that he didn’t have to.

my only concerns, is the romance. katria, i understood. her feelings were introduced slowly, and made sense. however, with davien, it felt very sudden. he didn’t like her, then at one point he did.

my second concern is his name. how are we supposed to pronounce it? i wish there was a little guide at the back of the book or something to make it easier.

i can’t wait for the next book!!
