HOW TO TAME A BEAST IN SEVEN DAYS is a great start to the
new Embraced series by Kerrelyn Sparks. It brings readers
a new world full of enticing new characters. This first
book gives us Luciana and Leofric's story. Luciana has
lived her life thinking that she is an orphan until the
day a man comes claiming to be her father and he has come
to take her to her husband to be. The man that she is to
marry is Leofric. He is feared by all for his touch may
and will cause harm or even death. The two must find a
way through it all and maybe even to love. There are
secrets to uncover and enemies to be slain in this
adventure. Can Leofric and Luciana survive it all and
each other? The author weaves a great story in this book. Luciana has
lived her life as a nun without any male companionship
and Leofric has lived his life without touch. Neither is
sure about what to do or how things will turn out for
them. Both have to deal with the world in their own way
but together they might just have a chance. Their story
moves along at a nice pace and is filled with romance and
fantasy. The two are drawn to one another and work hard
at finding a way through it all. I enjoyed meeting
Leofric and Luciana. They make a nice couple and work
well together. There are villains and evil that must be
conquered and love that must be won making this story
read almost like a beautiful fairy tale. I loved seeing
Luciana find her way from being such an innocent woman to
one who can hold her own. Leofric is a good man who must
deal with his power and the fear it instills in everyone.
It was nice to see their relationship take shape.
Kerrelyn Sparks has built a wondrous world that pulled me
in right from the beginning and kept me entertained all
the way to the end and still had me wanting more. I am
eagerly waiting to see what will come next in this world
that she has created.
SUMMARY
From the brilliant imagination of Kerrelyn Sparks comes a
bold new fantasy romance series in which passion and magic
collide. Behold the Embraced... As one of the
Embraced—one born with magical powers—the beautiful,
innocent Luciana escaped certain death after her father hid
her away on the Isle of Moon. Now, nineteen years later, her
father has returned with a frightening request. He will be
executed unless Luciana returns to the mainland and marries
a man feared throughout the land: a terrifying brute known
as the Beast. Luciana accepts her fate and agrees to
wed the Beast—Lord Leo—in order to save her father. Soon she
learns that her betrothed is also one of the Embraced. With
the ability to wield lightning, Leo’s immense power strikes
fear into the hearts of men. . .and his mere touch can put
an end to a woman’s life. But Luciana cannot deny the
passion that burns between them. How can she resist the man
who scorches her soul and makes her feel intoxicated with
desire—even if surrendering to him could destroy them both?
