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?
Also in this series: So I Married a Sorcerer, Eight Simple Rules for Dating a Dragon, How to Love Your Elf
How to Tame a Beast in Seven Days is book one in The Embraced series by Kerrelyn Sparks.
A new series by a favorite author. I’ve enjoyed Ms. Sparks Love at Stake series and so I decided to jump into this new series The Embraced.
I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into when I started reading. I didn’t know that it was Historical Fantasy along with Paranormal Romance and so when I started reading I was unsure about everything, but the more I read the more I ended up liking the world and characters. I have to say this new world is special and I wasn’t disappointed.
Since this is the first book we are introduced to a whole new world, new thinking, new species, religious oppression, the lengths people will go, and peculiar characters. At times the story felt a little slow, but things do pick up and we are taken on a fun adventure. The author had me laughing and falling in love with Luciana and Leo. They were remarkable together and perfect for each other in more ways then one. The EMBRACED aspect was extraordinary and I really liked all the secondary characters; especially the “sisters” introduced. I feel they will all make wonderful heroines someday.
How to Tame a Beast in Seven Days gives us a mixture of humor, seriousness, understanding, repression, and love. It was creative and a total delight to read.

I loved this book and am really excited for the next book in the series!
Glad you enjoyed this one. Book two was good & you will like it. I just finished it. I’m excited to continue the series.
I haven’t t tried her yet I thin. I’m on a weird reading phase lately, I keep thinking I should try historical romance, maybe that’ll hold my attention long enough to finish a darn book!
This year I’ve been diving into different genres more, some still have the paranormal element I like, but a lot don’t I didn’t release this was Historical Romance Fantasy, with Paranormal in it. Not until I started reading. It ended up surprising me and being an enjoyable read. If you do try. I hope you enjoy.
It was a fun. It surprised me in how much I ended up enjoying. I do like to be surprised. ^_^
Oh I really need to read this one. I love her books.
I really need to try Kerrelyn Sparks. She seems right up my alley. Great review.
I think you might like this new series. It was one that surprised me. I’ve read her work before, but this was new, different, and unique. It was fun!!
oh I just had a blast with this book, it was so dang good and I loved Leo and Luciana together. And the sister bond was charming. You will love book two even more than this one.
Glad you had a blast with this one and book two. I recently finished book two and enjoyed just as much as this one. I’m looking forward to continuing the series.
Glad to see you enjoyed this one. I like the mix humor and seriousness.
It was a pleasant surprise. I wasn’t sure at first, but then I really enjoyed this one. I also liked the mix of humor and seriousness. I resonantly finished So I Married a Sorcerer and that one was just as a good as one. I’m looking froward to continuing the series.
