Publisher's Summary

Perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and Uprooted, this stand-alone, fantasy romance about a human girl and her marriage to the Elf King is impossible to put down! The elves come for two things: war and wives. In both cases, they come for death.

Three thousand years ago, humans were hunted by powerful races with wild magic until the treaty was formed. Now, for centuries, the elves have taken a young woman from Luella's village to be their Human Queen. To be chosen is seen as a mark of death by the townsfolk. A mark 19-year-old Luella is grateful to have escaped as a girl. Instead, she's dedicated her life to studying herbology and becoming the town's only healer.

That is, until the Elf King unexpectedly arrives...for her. Everything Luella had thought she'd known about her life, and herself, was a lie. Taken to a land filled with wild magic, Luella is forced to be the new queen to a cold yet blisteringly handsome Elf King. Once there, she learns about a dying world that only she can save. The magical land of Midscape pulls on one corner of her heart; her home and people tug on another...but what will truly break her is a passion she never wanted. A Deal with the Elf King is a complete, stand-alone novel, inspired by the tales of Hades and Persephone, as well as Beauty and the Beast, with a "happily ever after" ending. It's perfect for fantasy romance fans looking for just the right amount of steam and their next slow-burn and swoon-worthy couple.

Loved this book

Narration: awesome - no complaints!
Story: I loved it! The only complaint I have is that I wish this book were longer! It is both the best and worst feeling to finish a book and feel hollow, knowing you can not continue to get lost in the fictional world you’d been escaping to for days!

Fun book to listen to

Definitely a slooow burn (doesnt go in detail though). If i had one complain its that it feels like its olden times but then the main character uses phrases that i dont think they wouldve had back then but thats just me being nitpicky. I thought this was a cute book all in all :)

It's just ok.

This isn't the worst romance I've ever read/listened to, but it wasn't for me. The characters seem juvenile and the jokes fall flat. I found the characters hard to relate to. I will probably avoid those author in the future.

LOVED IT!!!

omg I was so excited to see this title released in audiobooks format, I had read it when it was released and was excited to see how it would change once turned into an audio production! it exceeded my expectations and I loved it so much! the narrator was a lovely surprise as I was familiar with some of her other work and enjoyed the way she added to the work. I look forward to re reading and re listening to this in the future

Entertaining

Some people can never be hidden; they are meant to be seen.” - Elise Kova, A Deal with the Elf King

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 💫

📕First of all this is a stand-alone fantasy novel filled with magic, duty, and love. It goes something like this… A long long time ago in a place far away humans were hunted by powerful magical races; that is until the treaty was formed. The treaty states that one women of human descent with magical blood will be given in marriage to the Elf King.

🎧Overall this was a cute light fantasy book! I loved the female MC and how spunky she was. I loved the furry magical companion. I loved the banter and individual characteristics of the two MCs. I liked the audiobook narration!

Strong female character so you cannot wrong

Great book, only reason I took a star off is that I would have enjoyed more in depth/ detailed sex screens. The author goes into kissing, grabbing and then it's the next morning. Just a bit more detail would have been nice.

female character was strong and had her own mind , love that. it was nice too that the story was done at 1 book. nothing worse then waiting months for the next one.

Strong story, great performances

This story had a good plot, interesting side characters and a bit of a mystery to solve. Not very complex, but more than just your simple “opposites attract” story. The author has created an strong fantasy world to play in. There is no wimpy damsel here, it’s a good story backed up by a good vocal performance. Worth the listen and definitely easy on the ears!

As expected

A love story that doesn't get very graphic compared to similar books you find. Slow build and predictable. Not above and beyond, no big plot twists but still paints a nice picture in your mind. A nice romance with happy ending.
