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 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？
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 of A Court of Silver Flames and An Enchantment of Ravens。 A Dance with the Fae Prince features a slow-burn romance， swoon-worthy couple， and steaminess that ranges from simmering to sizzling。

An easy and fun read！ The plot twists and foreshadowing were quite predictable， but I quite enjoyed reading Katria's story， and Raph was just an absolute sweetheart。 An easy and fun read！ The plot twists and foreshadowing were quite predictable， but I quite enjoyed reading Katria's story， and Raph was just an absolute sweetheart。 。。。more

MAN！！ I absolutely loved this story I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was not disappointed！ Katria has been through a lot and she’s swears to never fall in love I don’t blame her！ How she saw what love was would make anyone not want to fall in love but the example she had were not love at all。 She was treated very poorly by her step mother and step sister。 She gets married off to a noble man or so she thinks。 That’s when things start to get weird！ And her so called husband isn’t really human he MAN！！ I absolutely loved this story I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was not disappointed！ Katria has been through a lot and she’s swears to never fall in love I don’t blame her！ How she saw what love was would make anyone not want to fall in love but the example she had were not love at all。 She was treated very poorly by her step mother and step sister。 She gets married off to a noble man or so she thinks。 That’s when things start to get weird！ And her so called husband isn’t really human he’s the last heir to the throne for the Fae！！ Things start to heat up I loved the prince connection with Katria。 When she ruined his ritual he was irritated by her I mean you can’t blame the guy！！ He wants to take his kingdom back and the last piece he needed she took。 That’s when everything start to unravel！ I don’t want to give any spoiler。This story is amazing I don’t normally like slow burn romance because some of them take WAY too long but the way Elise Kova writes her stories I absolutely love it！ Because it’s slow enough but not too slow were you lose interest and so many things happen in between so it’s not just base off the romance。This series just keeps getting better and better！ I recieved and reviewed an ARC; this did not impact my review and all thoughts are my own。 。。。more

Absolutely Amazing。 I love how it's a Cinderella-esque retelling！ Our main character Katria is quite a girl， she's survived the mental and physical abuse of her step-mother and step-sister for years until they were desperate to continue their lavish lifestyle， they married her off。 It was a blessing for her， more than she could've known。 She's such a strong woman， clinging to the last remnants of her wonderful mother that she barely remembers now， and even her father who can only be known as dea Absolutely Amazing。 I love how it's a Cinderella-esque retelling！ Our main character Katria is quite a girl， she's survived the mental and physical abuse of her step-mother and step-sister for years until they were desperate to continue their lavish lifestyle， they married her off。 It was a blessing for her， more than she could've known。 She's such a strong woman， clinging to the last remnants of her wonderful mother that she barely remembers now， and even her father who can only be known as dead when we begin this story。This was such a page-turner for me， I kept finding myself staying up late into the night to try and read more about our secret Prince and companion。 I want to keep it as vague as possible you you can enjoy this for everything it's worth。 I know sometimes I gush too much without realize I've slipped a little spoiler in there。I love Elise Kova's Married to Magic world that she has created， it's so magical with such real characters。 There was so many emotions， within me and the characters through this story。 Something I enjoyed is how Katrias thoughts and experience on love is changed。 She knows only the trauma of her step-mother and is rather stunned when others do not go about discipline the same way， or when true affection is shown。 She constantly sets herself up for heartache or pain， it nearly broke my heart。I cannot wait for more books in the Married to Magic series。 Since this is New Adult Fantasy， we have some steamy romance， of course I would have to point that out， you know I love that about NA books。Thank you to Elise Kova and Book of Matches for sending me an eARC for an honest review。 。。。more

Happy Release Day for A Dance with the Fae Prince！ A big thank you to Elisa Kova and Book of Matches Media for providing me with an e-arc of A Dance with the Fae Prince in exchange for an honest review。 As I thoroughly enjoyed A Deal with the Elf King， I was every much looking forward to the second installment in the Married to Magic series （I mean， did you see that cover？） and boy did I enjoy this magical ride。A Dance with the Fae Prince tells the story of Katria， a girl who grows up in a true Happy Release Day for A Dance with the Fae Prince！ A big thank you to Elisa Kova and Book of Matches Media for providing me with an e-arc of A Dance with the Fae Prince in exchange for an honest review。 As I thoroughly enjoyed A Deal with the Elf King， I was every much looking forward to the second installment in the Married to Magic series （I mean， did you see that cover？） and boy did I enjoy this magical ride。A Dance with the Fae Prince tells the story of Katria， a girl who grows up in a true Cinderella-like situation， having lost her father and now being forced to live with her evil stepmother as well as her two half sisters。 However， unlike meeting her future husband at an enchanting ball wearing glass slippers， Katria’s hand in marriage is sold， by her stepmother， to the highest bidder; the very mysterious Lord Fenwood， a perfect embodiment of a tall， dark and handsome broody love interest。 Although Fenwood merely agreed to a marriage arrangement in order to get his hands on a mysterious family heirloom， and the lives of the two do not seem much entangled at first， there seems to be a much bigger and mysterious connection going on in the background， which the reader finds out about in due time。I have to admit that while reading the first couple of chapters I was wondering about where the story would take me， which path it would take， and I was especially wondering whether the romance was perhaps happening way too quickly， as Fenwood seems to charm Katria from the get-go， even though he （the mysterious man he is） does not allow her to look at him at first。 However， after a few chapters， Elisa decides to treat her readers to a fun surprise， showing that the story is truly more unexpecting than the reader may come to believe at first glance and the romance becomes much more slowburn then at first expected， which is something I very much appreciated。One thing I already thoroughly enjoyed while reading A Deal with the Elf King was Elisa’s mesmerising way of world-building。 I loved how she created and described her own fictional world， the world of Midscape， and all the parts that belong to it， such as the Fade。 In A Dance with the Fae Prince this is no different， I even have to admit that I enjoyed the world-building even more in this second instalment。 I truly enjoyed being able to travel back to the enchanting place that is Midscape and discovering new places such as Dreamsong， and being able to capture all of it， its looks， its colours， its scents， its people， its music。 In my opinion， Kova is truly able of capturing and describing how she envisions her selfmade world， allowing her reader to imagine everything about it， in their own way。 In my opinion， the writing and prose felt very natural in this book， more so than in the first instalment of the series， awarding it with a， at times， very poetic touch。I also really enjoyed the characters， especially Davien， as I pretty much fell in love with him as soon as I first read about him， and even fell in love with him more when he was， at times， being a bit of a snarky ass， but boy what a dreamy one at that！ A broody Fae prince is a combination that always works for me and this time it worked REALLY WELL， especially since his bloodiness was at times replaced with him just being super loveable。 I mean， can I just marry him？ I have to admit that the ultimate plot twist concerning Katria was something that I was sort of expecting/guessing from the beginning but I have to admit that I did not mind that at all， because I felt that the story delivered so many other fun surprises and unexpected twists during various other moments， which made it a very enjoyable read for me， which still kept guessing about other aspects and pretty much caused me to not being able to put the book away for even a tiny second。 Also， it allowed me to understand Katria better， her life and everything she had experienced throughout of it。I’m rating A Dance with the Fae Prince a 4，5/5 stars as it was just a very enjoyable experience for me and I truly enjoyed being able to spent more time in the magical world that is Midscape。 Elisa Kova’s writing caused me to just fly through the pages and enjoy all of it， being able to imagine every little aspect of the story inside my mind。 I do have to admit that I wished the big plot twist would have been a tiny bit more unexpected but as I already indicated， I did not mind it that much as it made sense for the rest of the storyline and allowed for closure as well as being able to gain a better understanding of Katria as a character。 After being stuck in a reading slump for quite a while， A Dance with the Fae Prince was able to pull me out of that and allowed me to enjoy reading again after such a long time of not truly enjoying it anymore。 A Dance with the Fae Prince is a truly magical tale， written in a truly mesmerising way， perfect for fans of epic fantasy novels featuring a good （Fae） romance， many loveable characters， and most importantly: a beautiful fictional place， filled with magic， to escape to when one is in dire need of escaping reality。 。。。more

（8/19/2021） A Dance with the Fae Prince is the next installation into Elise Kova’s Married to Magic universe。 Swoon worthy， this story inspired by Cinderella and zeros/Psyche is tension filled and romantic。 Only Elise Kova can make a fictional character in a book extremely attractive by describing just his voice！ I can’t wait for the next book， a Duel with the Vampire Lord！ This universe is one I am not ready to leave！

A Dance with the Fae Prince is a YA fantasy romance inspired by Cinderella and Psyche and Eros。 It's a magical and enjoyable read。 Expect magical creatures， political intrigue， betrayal， and romance。 Fans of YA romance would be delighted to read this！The world-building is fairytale-like in a dark way。 The magic system is interesting， and how the faes function is explained well。 It's so easy to be engrossed with tales of faes。 I have to say that the plot is predictable， but I don't mind since it' A Dance with the Fae Prince is a YA fantasy romance inspired by Cinderella and Psyche and Eros。 It's a magical and enjoyable read。 Expect magical creatures， political intrigue， betrayal， and romance。 Fans of YA romance would be delighted to read this！The world-building is fairytale-like in a dark way。 The magic system is interesting， and how the faes function is explained well。 It's so easy to be engrossed with tales of faes。 I have to say that the plot is predictable， but I don't mind since it's easy to get lost in Elise Kova's prose。 It's immersive and poetic。The female protagonist， Katria， is determined and passionate。 I love how she took control of her life slowly。 I appreciate how Elise Kova tackled the effect of childhood abuse。 Katria's trauma with love was portrayed well and how she overcomes it was satisfying。 The found family trope is strong in this one。 Since Katria was raised in an abusive household， seeing her interact with the side characters is adorable。Overall， A Dance with the Fae Prince is a delightful read。 It has captivating world-building， likable characters， and a poetic writing style。 I highly recommend it to fans of YA romance， especially of ACOTAR。 Thanks to Book of Matches Media and Elise Kova for my DRC。 All thoughts and opinions are mine。 。。。more

Cinderella meets The Cruel Prince with a little Psyche and Eros thrown in for good measure？ Yes， please！Katria is a young woman in a bit of a Cinderella situation。 Left in the care of her abusive stepmother after her father’s disappearance， she’s now being married off to the highest bidder。 Lord Fenwood happens to be the one who’s offering the most， and together they ride off to his manor。 But things aren’t exactly comfortable between the two as he’s rarely home， and when he is， he prefers that Cinderella meets The Cruel Prince with a little Psyche and Eros thrown in for good measure？ Yes， please！Katria is a young woman in a bit of a Cinderella situation。 Left in the care of her abusive stepmother after her father’s disappearance， she’s now being married off to the highest bidder。 Lord Fenwood happens to be the one who’s offering the most， and together they ride off to his manor。 But things aren’t exactly comfortable between the two as he’s rarely home， and when he is， he prefers that his new bride doesn’t look at him。 Katria is also asked to abide by certain rules in her new home， the most important one being stay in her room at night。 There’s a reason he asked that of her and Katria being Katria， of course she didn’t abide by that rule！ Things get mighty interesting once she breaks that rule， and everything soon changes for the both of them。 A DANCE WITH THE FAE PRINCE is my new favorite fae book， and I can’t say enough good things about it。 From the fantastic world-building to the phenomenal characters， I was so absorbed in the storyline that I devoured this beauty in one day。 Kova really outdid herself with these characters and I absolutely adored both of them。 Katria comes from a very abusive past， and much of what she endured obviously had a lasting impact on how she views the world and how she perceives herself。 She’s also a character who possesses such strength and such grace， and I adored everything about her。 I also loved how Davien gave her the time and the space she needed and where Katria would push， he would gently pull， reassuring her that not everything in the world is as ugly as her past。 These two were so， so， so good together and their romance was just so lovely and sweet。 The story itself had a bit of predictability despite zigzagging around， but the world and the characters completely made up for that。 I loved the world that was created with this series， it’s so multilayered and detailed and so easy to get lost in。 I finished this book wanting more from this world， not because it felt unfinished， but because it felt so whole and immersive as if it were itself a character。 I haven’t read book 1 yet but I’m over the moon excited to now。 Bottom line — this is definitely going on my favorites shelf。 It’s a story with heart， a story about overcoming adversity and learning to love yourself and letting go of the past so you can have a future。 5 stars。 *Many thanks to Book of Matches Media and Elise Kova for providing a copy for review。 。。。more

My Review:5/5 ⭐️ Another Elise Kova HIT！ This book was everything I needed in a fae， classic story retelling！ Some mystery， intrigue， a sexy fae prince… A gorgeous cover！ Katria is definitely my fave heroine I’ve read lately。 Interesting， witty， and take charge。 The mysterious element with the fae really had me hooked from the beginning， especially seeing the very sinister and dangerous fae world！ Overall， LOOOOVED！

I pretty much always enjoy fairytale retellings， and this YA fantasy didn’t disappoint。 Katria is a sweet， young， and likeable narrator who has faced a lot of hardships and abuse in her young life， that has lead her to be pretty cynical about love。 It’s nice that Elise really made the story original， while still being a twist on the classic Cinderella story。 The book is also compared to the Cruel Prince series which I haven’t had a chance to read yet！ The book was a bit predictable to me， but it I pretty much always enjoy fairytale retellings， and this YA fantasy didn’t disappoint。 Katria is a sweet， young， and likeable narrator who has faced a lot of hardships and abuse in her young life， that has lead her to be pretty cynical about love。 It’s nice that Elise really made the story original， while still being a twist on the classic Cinderella story。 The book is also compared to the Cruel Prince series which I haven’t had a chance to read yet！ The book was a bit predictable to me， but it was still a really lovely YA fantasy read。 Most of the story takes place in the same world as Elf King which I enjoyed reading earlier this summer， so it was fun to see the Fae perspective and side of things in the same world， but the two stories are completely stand alone so you can absolutely pick up Fae Prince first！ 。。。more
