When I first applied to ARC read Bride of the Fae Prince by Anastasis Blythe, I will fully admit I didn't expect to get accepted. There were a limited number of seats to be filled, and I had been a couple days late to the notification. So, when the email entered my inbox, telling me I'd been accepted as an ARC reader, the overwhelming emotions were surprise and shock. But these quickly faded away to utter joy as I delved into the rich, intricate world of Faerieland and all the shenanigans that came with it.
Summary:
Isabelle Louise has always known she is to be married off to whomever will form the strongest alliance for her father's kingdom. It is her fate, her duty, and their kingdom's best defense against the fae attempting to obliviate their borders. All her sisters have done it before her, and she accepts it now without a whisper of complaint.

No matter how cruel or disgusting her future husband may be.
However, all her thoughts on living a quiet, subdued life of fading into the shadows are blanched when her latest suitor Trenian Ashrift Solavirth, the Prince of the Fae himself, arrives from Faerieland in search of a wife.
A human wife.
As Isabelle Louise is swept into a world of danger and politics, will she learn to love her fae husband? Or is she truly just another pawn in his immortal game?
"For a world of people who supposedly cannot lie, I feel as though I swim blind and deaf through a sea of falsehoods and half-truths."
My Review:
From the very first chapter, I knew I was going to absolutely adore this book. Isabelle Louise was so relatable to me. Her quiet, self-sacrificial demeanor and nervous anxiety grabbed my heart in a way that only a kindred belief could. The way she fully expected to be the wife of a cruel, self-serving man--had resigned herself to a life of limitation and unhappiness.
Yet still hadn't fully smothered the flame buried within her soul….
