Taken by an Immortal Elf - Book Review by Voodoo Bride

 

Taken by an Immortal Elf

(Elves Among Us: Forbidden Love #0.5)

by L.E. Sunwick

What is it about:

My captor sees me as one of those destroying his sacred forest. I see him as the most gorgeous male on earth.

So handsome. Those muscles. That athletic self-confidence. He is an immortal elf more than a century older than I. He calls me a lioness because I stand up to my wealthy uncaring parents - and him. Ours is a forbidden attraction. He is an elf of legend. I am a mortal duchess and a human he does not trust. We cannot be together.

But I would sacrifice my happiness to save his sacred lands from my parents’ greed. My brief time with him was a lifetime’s worth. If I don’t do something, lives - and our budding love - may be lost. Even the courage and prowess of a hundred real lionesses may not be enough. But for a tiny chance at true love, I am willing to find out.

What did Voodoo Bride think of it:

I recently participated in one of those 'Stuff your Kindle' events, and got signed up for tons of newsletters because of it. One of them was the newsletter of L.E. Sunwick. When there was a call for ARC/early readers for a rewritten book 1 in this series I got curious, signed up, and dug through my Kindle app what story of L.E. Sunwick I downloaded. It turned out to be this prequel story, so I decided to immediately give it a try.

And this turned out to be such an enjoyable read, that has several things I can't resist in my romances.

Hunky immortal elf: check!

Heroine I liked from the start: check!

Forbidden Love: double check!

This is a short story (82 pages), but it feels complete, and has romance, action, steam, and sacrifice. I finished this in no time at all, and you can be sure I'm already looking forward to reading more in this series. Each book can be read as a standalone as well I've been told, so I might check out book 2 soon.

Why should you read it:

It's a very enjoyable Fantasy Romance read
