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.

Almost great…

Elizabeth Evans is a phenomenal narrator & the overall plot & world building are very good but there’s an overload of information at the start (regarding terminology) and, more importantly, some very repetitive dialogue & generally underwhelming writing at points. A strong editing process could have picked this up & turned it into something ‘great’ but it just misses the mark. Having said that, it’s an ‘easy to listen to’ tale & very enjoyable.

🙋**WARNING**🙋 Spoiler Alert 🙋**WARNING** 🙋

This is the second time I've read and listened to this book, although it seems that I forgot to leave a review the first time, so here it is!!

This was the first ever book that I read/listened to and doing so again has brought back those same feelings of wanting to read more of Elise's books!!

I found it just as sweet and just as fantastic as I did the first time around!!

It's a beautiful tale about how two people can find love in each other, even though it slowly sneaked up on them. After all they were thrown together out of duty and nothing else. Especially when poor Luella didn't even know that she was to be the Human Queen!! After all her magic had been hidden from herself too!!

Eldas comes bombarding into the town she lives throwing his weight around, demanding that they handed her over, yet no one other than her "friend" even knew who it was!! He soon finds out why and all hell breaks out for a short while.

All of a sudden she's married and whisked off to live in Midscape, the world of the Elves, Fae, Vampir, Lycans and Mer!! And then told to turn up to the throne room within the hour to sit upon the throne to herald the new spring. After all there's been a year of winter!!

Well things don't go well at all between them and soon things are said and done.......

Well long story short......

They soon start to see each other as a man and woman and see things that no one else can see!! Things are made worse at times due to the youngest brother and of course their mother, who already hated the Human Queen!!

Things continue to move on, until finally love is finally found!! But due to misunderstood circumstances things spiral and well....

I've already given too much away, so if you want more then either buy the book or the audio book!!

Or even better, but both, as I do prefer to listen to the audio as I read the books!! It honestly helps with the experience.

Narrating this is Elizabeth Evans and she is a brilliant and very natural narrator and has such a great range, that each characters charm and complexities are shown throughout!!

You can close your eyes and by the timbre or softness, instantly know which character it is speaking, without even hearing Eldas said this or Luella said that and so forth.

What better way is there to get to know the Elf King and the Human Queen, than listening to such an amazing talent as Elizabeth's as they speed toward their Happy Ever After?!?!?! 💞💞

Wholesome

I couldn’t stop listening , so happy I discovered this story, it is amazing. I just wish there was more like an after story I feel like it ended too quickly, it always fascinating to read what happened to the characters after but we will never know.
