Wow。 I cannot say enough great things about this book。 Loved feels like an understatement。 The world building and storyline in this novel were fantastic。 I fell in love with both of our main characters， especially Arkain 🥵。 The spice was top tier and heavy without taking away from the plot itself。 I truly fell in love with this world and will be *not so patiently* waiting for the next in the series。 An easy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 and 🌶️🌶️🌶️。5/5

An easy fantasy read。 No annoying characters。 Love the relationship El and Ari has。 They're so flirty and cute。 Might reread again next time。 Also spicy scenes were the perfect amount of spice An easy fantasy read。 No annoying characters。 Love the relationship El and Ari has。 They're so flirty and cute。 Might reread again next time。 Also spicy scenes were the perfect amount of spice 。。。more

I’ve been following this book since it’s pre-release， the teasers were leaving me wanting more。 A fantastic introduction into a new world and author， Ms Swann paints the story of two realms of light and dark masterfully。 This was very well written， the words read smoothly and I couldn’t put the book down！ I expected more angst and enemies to lovers in this Beauty and the Beast elven world adaptation but loved how warm and fluffy it turned out to be。- possessive MMC （described as a beast but I co I’ve been following this book since it’s pre-release， the teasers were leaving me wanting more。 A fantastic introduction into a new world and author， Ms Swann paints the story of two realms of light and dark masterfully。 This was very well written， the words read smoothly and I couldn’t put the book down！ I expected more angst and enemies to lovers in this Beauty and the Beast elven world adaptation but loved how warm and fluffy it turned out to be。- possessive MMC （described as a beast but I could not help but picture a very handsome dark elven man）- confident and assured FMC princess whom I found refreshing compared to the traditional virginal princess character - 🌶🌶🌶 out of 5 in terms of spice- potential for future world building in future novelsThis story has left me wanting more。 *Possible Spoiler*: I would love to hear Kae’s story！ Especially journey into orc country to find her brother， falling for an orc？ Potential！ 。。。more

amazing debut novelThis was such an enjoyable read and hard to believe it was a debut。 Developed characters， interesting world and backstory for the two enemy ‘sides’， and romance as they come to love each other。 There were a few typos and also a few times when I thought a scene would continue but the next chapter revealed that it didn’t。 I was able to follow along fine and this must just be the authors style。 Despite that， I look forward to reading more and have my guesses about who the heroine amazing debut novelThis was such an enjoyable read and hard to believe it was a debut。 Developed characters， interesting world and backstory for the two enemy ‘sides’， and romance as they come to love each other。 There were a few typos and also a few times when I thought a scene would continue but the next chapter revealed that it didn’t。 I was able to follow along fine and this must just be the authors style。 Despite that， I look forward to reading more and have my guesses about who the heroine will be for book 2。 。。。more

An author to watch！This debut novel was fantastic。 I saw a recommendation from Ruby Dixon's Facebook page and I remembered her Tik Toks。 So of course I was going to read this book。 I loved both Elvie and Arkain。 Thier courtship was so sweet and adorable。 Elvie's confidence in herself was so refreshing。 So many times we have heroines that question if they are enough and she said "f" whoever doesn't like you。 I loved the banter between her and her brother Briar。 Arkain， was the monster we all want An author to watch！This debut novel was fantastic。 I saw a recommendation from Ruby Dixon's Facebook page and I remembered her Tik Toks。 So of course I was going to read this book。 I loved both Elvie and Arkain。 Thier courtship was so sweet and adorable。 Elvie's confidence in herself was so refreshing。 So many times we have heroines that question if they are enough and she said "f" whoever doesn't like you。 I loved the banter between her and her brother Briar。 Arkain， was the monster we all want。 So sweet and gentle until someone tries to hurt his love。 I can only hope we get more stories from this universe。 I hope everyone else enjoys this novel as much as I did。 Now I have to go get stuff done since I couldn't but this down。Charlotte Swan you did amazing！ 。。。more

I loved this book！！ I was lucky enough to be a beta reader and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved Charlotte Swan’s debut novel。 I always feel like monster romances are hit or miss for me but this one is definitely one of my favorites。 I thought the world building was amazing， characters had depth and I’m already excited to see who is getting a book next lol I’m so excited to read more from this author！！

Taken by the Dark Elf King was a very enjoyable spicy fantasy romance。 It flowed well and I was engaged the whole time I was reading it， was definitely a great debut by Swan and I'm very keen to continue reading novels in this world （I already have a few ideas of what might be planned， or what I hope might be planned）。Excellent batb vibes， good character development， and A+ romance。- enemies （？） x lovers- orgasms to relieve anxiety- discovering own power and the strength in connection Taken by the Dark Elf King was a very enjoyable spicy fantasy romance。 It flowed well and I was engaged the whole time I was reading it， was definitely a great debut by Swan and I'm very keen to continue reading novels in this world （I already have a few ideas of what might be planned， or what I hope might be planned）。Excellent batb vibes， good character development， and A+ romance。- enemies （？） x lovers- orgasms to relieve anxiety- discovering own power and the strength in connection 。。。more

I loved this book！ Can’t wait for more from this author。 This book is almost everything I want in a fantasy romance book。 No miscommunication between the MCs， a female MC who isn’t a complete idiot， a wholesome relationship， and of course the spice。 There were a few moments I was worried there wouldn’t be a HEA or would be a cliffhanger but she pulls it off in the end！ Enjoyed the pacing too she did a good job keeping the story moving

Wonderful debut。 Fast paced， sweet and tender with just the edge to keep it interesting。 Loved and devoured it in a sitting 🥵❤️ The dynamic between Elvie and Arkain is amazing。 The banter 😭❤️ He is such a secret softie and she is so so much fun。 A book couple who 。。。communicates？？？？ Tells each other the truth？？？？？ Crazy i KNOW。 Oh and did i mention the spice🥵 the BUILD UP to it made it all the better。 Overall im OBSESSED 💯

DevouredI read this in one sitting。 It was just the book I was looking for these past couple of weeks。 I'm a sucker for enemies to lovers/ forced marriage tropes。 I give it 🌶🌶🌶。5 for the spice as it did give me all the tinglies。 I wish there was more。 And the plot twist was good a little predictable but still good。 I will say there are a few typos in the book but nothing too obnoxious。 Will definitely save this for a reread on a rainy day。 DevouredI read this in one sitting。 It was just the book I was looking for these past couple of weeks。 I'm a sucker for enemies to lovers/ forced marriage tropes。 I give it 🌶🌶🌶。5 for the spice as it did give me all the tinglies。 I wish there was more。 And the plot twist was good a little predictable but still good。 I will say there are a few typos in the book but nothing too obnoxious。 Will definitely save this for a reread on a rainy day。 。。。more

I got an arc for this book and I am so glad I did。 It was a quick read and Elvie and Arkain’s relationship was so sweet。 The world was interesting and the plot twist was definitely a surprise。 I hope Briar gets his own book， I wanted to read more of him！ I can’t wait for the rest of the series！

*ARC Review* A sweet fantasy romance perfect for someone looking for a quick read with an HEA and some light world building。 Elvie is confident in herself and her position and refuses to let anyone hold her back。 She is not an innocent spoiled princess and even teaches Arkain a thing or two ;） Arkain has a sweet side reserved only for Elvie that made this pairing so fun。 They found a lot of ways to spend time together and those were the most enjoyable parts of the book。 I am a sucker for couples *ARC Review* A sweet fantasy romance perfect for someone looking for a quick read with an HEA and some light world building。 Elvie is confident in herself and her position and refuses to let anyone hold her back。 She is not an innocent spoiled princess and even teaches Arkain a thing or two ;） Arkain has a sweet side reserved only for Elvie that made this pairing so fun。 They found a lot of ways to spend time together and those were the most enjoyable parts of the book。 I am a sucker for couples bonding in libraries and gardens and this provided both。The end hints and whats next to come in the series and I am excited to see where that leads。 。。。more
