Type of series: Standalone, part of a series
In a nutshell: 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 accidently 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?
What I thought: First off, the cover is to die for! Dance with the Fae Prince is a tale loosely based off Psyche and Eros, as well as incorporating elements of Cinderella. Now if you’re like me and not too up on the old Greek Mythology, then just know you are in for a story featuring two people that fight for each other and their love. This is a story of overcoming past trauma, friendship, the meaning of family and a beautiful slow burn romance - Davien forever holds a place in my heart for his unwavering support for Katria!
