5.0

I received an ARC of this book through Goodreads Giveaways.

Kerrelyn Sparks brings together elements of paranomal and fantasy romance in an all new series called The Embraced. In How to Tame a Beast in Seven Days, Luciana, in order to saver her fathers life, must leave the only home she has ever known to marry a man many call The Beast. Lord Leo, known to many as The Beast, has the power to harness lighting. because of this he is a danger to anyone he touches. When he meets Luciana, it's discovered that she may be capable of touching him without coming to harm. Through assassination attempts and various other challenges he finds himself wanting to protect this women who is his betrothed. perhaps after all these years he's finally found someone who could love him.

This was my first time reading anything by Mrs. Sparks and It was fantastic. The combination of both fantasy and paranormal elements in this book was great. Mrs. Sparks definitely has a way with writing not just stories but characters also. I not only felt sorry for Luciana but for Leo too. What I loved most about this was that it, in a way, reminded me of Beauty and The Beast, but was still its own story. I can truly say that Kerrelyn Sparks has made herself a new fan with this series. I look forward to reading book two (Available this August!!!!!). Fans of her previous books/series will definitely want to check this out when it's released in March. In fact fans of both paranormal and fantasy romances should check this out. I definitely highly recommend reading it!
