Blurb:A human princess. A dark-elf prince. A kiss of fire and powder.
After a failed courtship in an ally kingdom, twenty-one-year-old Princess Alessandra returns home to a land torn apart by mutual hatred between the humans and the dark-elves. The "Beast Princess," as Aless is known by courtiers, confidently sets her mind to ways of making peace, but her father has already decided for her: she is to marry one of the mysterious and monstrous dark-elves to forge a treaty, and go on a Royal Progress across the kingdom to flaunt their harmonious union. While she intends to preserve the peace, the Beast Princess has plans of her own.
Prince Veron has been raised knowing his life is not his own, but to be bargained away by his mother, the queen of Nozva Rozkveta, to strengthen the dark-elf queendom. When his mother tells him he is to marry a self-absorbed, vile human, he is determined to do his duty regardless of his personal feelings. After arriving at the human capital, he finds the "Beast Princess" rebellious and untamed—and not to be trusted.
Aless and Veron face opposition at every turn, with humans and dark-elves alike opposing the union violently, as well as their own feelings of dissonance toward each other. Can two people from cultures that despise one another fall in love? Can a marriage between them bond two opposing worlds together, or will it tear them apart for good?
If you like the fantasy and politics of Danielle L. Jensen’s Malediction Trilogy and the romance of Elizabeth Vaughan’s Chronicles of the Warlands, No Man Can Tame will lure you into its world and not let you go.
Buy No Man Can Tame today, and journey into a medieval world of magic and Immortals, masquerades and games, love and blood, and a tale as old as time...
Favorite Quotes:
Books had power, the power to defeat hopelessness with escape, ignorance with enlightenment, fear with knowledge. And she wanted every person to have access to that power, to harness it, for peace, understanding, and better lives.
He shielded her from the breeze, his shoulders taut. He wanted to meet that coldness with warmth, that loss with comfort, destruction with creation. Nothing would harm her like that again, not while he drew breath.
I loved the evolvment of this romance, it was very pride and prejudice-y. Both sides ignorant of the others customs and both stubborn and proud. It was wonderful to read.
Aless is a very stubborn and self centered young lady. She refuses to confirm and in her want to get her way, she theatens her fathers rule. So to make amends, the king promises her to a dark elf prince. I loved the way this story started.
It was fast paced and their chemistry was instant. While she was initially resistant to giving their marriage a chance; As they traveled throughout the kingdom towards his, they faced violence and betrayal from both their worlds. Which helped to bond them together in a way that was beyond the physical. They learned to trust each other more and also to listen to what the other had to say. It was a great journey to read.
The Prince was so noble and chivalrous I thought I wasn’t going to like him. But it turns out that I am a huge sucker for a chivalrous man. Seriously, the man was amazing! He took her tantrums in stride and always looked to her needs before his own. I found she wasn’t quite deserving of him in the beginning. But, again, the evolvement of their romance was very well written and he was no saint. I loved it. All of it, why haven’t I read the next book yeat?
