The Elven Prince’s Kiss: An Urban Fantasy Romance

by Abella Ward

All a man had to do to catch my eye was fight well. After the beautiful performance Victor had just given, I'd be a puddle for days…

They always told me that, being a female half-dwarf, I wouldn’t amount to anything. But I proved them wrong. I’m now a high-ranked member of the Protective Guild.

I was hired to escort the elven Princess Charlotte and her brother Victor to her wedding. I thought that the worst part of the job would be to drive the Guild’s old Hummer. I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Before I know it, we’re under attack by rogue elves, trolls–and, worst, my own traitorous emotions. Emotions involving Victor. I must be crazy. He’s a typical elf–snooty and arrogant.

And beautiful, graceful and strong.

Could I be the princess in my own fairytale? Of course not. I’m busy enough trying to survive and protect Charlotte.

Plus, nothing can happen between a half-dwarf and an elf, especially when that elf is a prince.

Right?

This is a stand-alone book in a series of urban fantasy romance stories. It has an HEA, so no cliff-hangers. This is a HOT story with mature themes and language. For 18+ readers only.

Eloise is a half-dwarf and she and her partner Owen, a full dwarf, have been hired to escort an Elf Princess from Raindrop to Flowerpetal where she will marry an Elf Prince. When Eloise and Own arrive to pick up the princess, they meet her brother Victor and he says that he is going to accompany them. Eloise thinks Victor is a jerk, until she sees him fighting when they are attacked and then she thinks he is just gorgeous.
Parts of this story are laugh out loud funny and parts are filled with suspense and fighting. It has an HEA for Eloise and Victor and Charlotte, the Elf Princess with her Prince. I thoroughly enjoyed this ebook.
I was given an Advanced copy of this book and am freely and voluntarily writing this review.

[Christinaraven · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thought the story sounded interesting and was not disappointed. This story has elves, dwarfs, trolls, and full of action. I liked the different take on Elves. This story starts out straightforward as Eloise is a half dwarf who with Owen her partner at the Guild are hired to escort Princess Charlotte and her brother Price Victor to another Elven town for Princess Charlotte wedding. Of course something goes wrong and Eloise and Victor get separated and have to try and save the day. I thought for a novella it had a good plot and pretty good characterization. My honest review is - Good story full of action and a plot with some steamy love scenes on the side.

[Dee Archer · Rating 5 out of 5]

The variety of creatures...elves, dwarfs, trolls...kept me captivated from the start. Eloise and her partner have been hired by Elven Prince Victor to provide security for the pregnant Princess Charlotte on her journey to meet her betrothed. Learning about the differing characteristics, culture and beliefs of the various creatures was enthralling. The journey was filled with intense suspense, exciting action and a surprising element of romance. Great entertainment! I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. Five stars.

[Suzanne Giorgione · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a book with a little bit of everything. Action, suspense, drama, family dynamics, friendship, humor, magic and some steamy heat. A wild ride with elves, dwarves and trolls. Sometimes the old ways and traditions aren't always the best way - We have to clear the path for the best way that works for us. A great fast read that I enjoyed. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of the book.

[Linda Levine · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed the story. There is plenty of action and adventure and a good romance too. I liked that she is strong and doesn't expect or want someone to take care of her. She is not afraid to prove herself.

I am voluntarily reviewing a copy I received.

[Cassandra · Rating 5 out of 5]

I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and was not disappointed. The story of the elven prince Victor and the half-dwarf girl Eloise is one that any fantasy lover will enjoy. It was full of action and surprises. Get caught up in the thrill of this amazing story. You will be glad you did.

I haven't read a book from this author yet that I didn't love, so of course when given the chance to read an ARC of this book I took it! I loved it! It's a quick, fun read I truly enjoyed reading. The characters are colorful and unique (elves, trolls, dwarfs). The story has humor, excitement and romance. I can't wait to read the next book from Abella Ward!

I received an ARC of this book and am voluntarily leaving this review. This is my honest opinion.

ARC - I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
Eloise was a firecracker.
On a mission to deliver princess Charlotte to her intended, they are ambushed by trolls.
Also, she is totally being seduced by prince Victor.
Is there a future for a half-dward + a elven ?
The prince think so. He is besotted w/ Eloise.
He is already calling his wife-to-be. LOL
These two belong together.

[Sherry Westendorf · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well written and exciting. A world of elves, trolls and so much more. A different read for me. I loved it. It was fun, enjoyable, suspenseful, hot in spots and I couldn't put it down. I recommend it. I was given a review copy and voluntarily review it.

[Rebecca · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was great. It was fast paced and I never put it down. I only have one problem with the book. It wasn't long enough. The characters were a blast. I voluntarily read this ARC book.

[Karen Robins · Rating 5 out of 5]

I liked this book I don't usually read this type of book but it was good and interesting if you like stories about trolls, elves and dwarfs then you will like it. I would recommend this book if your looking for a quick read it didn't take me long to read it and I'm hoping there is going to be another follow on book, would I by this book, yes I would. I had this book free for a honest review, I hadn't read a book by this author before so it was a nice change.

[Ann · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don't usually read this genre of book but I was pleasantly surprised.
If you like Lord of the Rings with hot sex then this is for you.

[Jennifer · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a great book! Caught you at the beginning and made you want to keep reading about them when you got to the end. Hope there will be more books with these characters!

Eloise and her partner, Owen, were hired to escort Prince Victor Raindrop's sister, Princess Charlotte Raindrop, to Flowerpetal for her wedding. When they arrive to pick her up, Victor informs them that he is going also. Events happen, fights brake out and Victor and Eloise wind up in bed together.

When I volunteered to read this ARC, it looked interesting. You have elves, dwarves and trolls. Eloise is half dwarf half human and Prince Victor is an elf. The elves are almost Amish like in their beliefs about modern technology. They believe in self sufficiency. What they can't make, they don't need. Dwarves, on the other hand, have no such problems with technology.

This was an okay short read. There is a lot of action and one sex scene that was NOT explicit (no body parts were named). Yes it does say what's happening, but only in general descriptions. Example: "When I took him into my mouth, he moaned...... His wicked tongue lapped at me, making fireworks explode and knots twist tight in my core." To me, there was not really any chemistry between them. It was more like two people just hooking up. There was really no purpose to the story except to get from point A to point B with as many problems as you can come up with to try and make it entertaining. There is a HEA for Victor and Eloise, but the ending is kind of rushed in my opinion.

[Rebecca Grove · Rating 4 out of 5]

Eloise and her partner Owen are the top pair of Dwarf protectors for hire. They are both unusual since she is half dwarf and half human and he is male dwarf missing an arm. They are so good that few people can afford to hire them so money is getting short. Then they get a gig transporting an Elven princess to her wedding and providing protection. When they arrive, they get a few surprises. They are escorting the princess and her brother and the princess is heavily pregnant. They also were told that there is a major threat that the princess might be kidnapped by her baby's daddy who is not happy about her marrying another elf.
The trip is action packed and Eloise and the elven prince get closer and closer. However a prince could never be with a half dwarf could he? This is a good book with lost of action but I found the romance part to be rushed. I voluntarily received a copy of this story and this is my honest review.

[Barbara Stewart · Rating 2 out of 5]

Wasn't kind of my kind of book I guess. The elf prince and princess who is his sister hired a dwarf and his partner dwarf and half human to protect them. But of course the prince was to beg her and she wasn't sure that's what she wanted but she didn't think he was awfully sexy when he took off his cape and only had on his pants and no shirt. She just didn't like the way they lived which is everything had to be made by them nothing for technology no cars no nothing. The book was short it was different you also have trolls I forgot about the trolls. And the other books that are in the series that they give you an extra's are usually the same ones it's an every other books so you be done like me and read all the other ones you've read these too 😃

[Laura · Rating 2 out of 5]

Eloise is a half dwarf who is hired to transport an elf princess and her brother. Along the way they run into some obstacles, a kidnapping and a hard to ignore attraction between them.

The world this story is set in seemed interesting and I would have preferred to know more about it. The two main characters were ok but kind of blah considering they were both rebelling against societal norms. The worst part of this though was when they had sex immediately after hanging out in a mud pit. Try to shower first geez. I was so grossed out that I had issues even taking the two of them seriously.

[Amber .:★Wild Heart Reviews★:. · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is basically a short story for me and believe me when I say that the rating is because when you hover over the stars, 2 will tell you that you felt it was "ok". That was how the book was for me. I went into it curious because of the blurb but then I realized that the book ends at 4%. Then the rest is made up of other books. I didn't read the other books because that's not what is advertised in the blurb.

Aside from that, I fully believe that if this story was fleshed out more, it would be awesome. The writing style is good and I had some laughs. It just feels like it needs more depth and more to it overall.

[Nicole Henderson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great quick read by Abella. This time we meet an Elven Prince and a half Dwarf.
Eloise is hired to escort the elven princess to her husband to be family. When she arrives for the job the prince Victor tells her he is coming with them.
It should be a straight forward job, but things go amiss and they find themselves in trouble.
In the very short time that Victor and Eloise know each other a bond starts to form.

The book has a HEA. I received this book as an arc and I am leaving my review voluntarily.
Would I recommend this book YES

[Lianne · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read the ARC of this book and here is my honest review.

This book is a romance about a Elven prince and a Human/Dwarf arm for hire. She is hired to bring his sister to her new husband but on the road they run into trouble.

It´s a short story and the character build is short but by reading on you come to know them. They both want a different live than they are living now and will find that live in each other arms in the end but not without a lot of gunshots, disliking each other and some hot steamy scenes.

I did like this book very much and it´s a fun read for a free afternoon

[Nayou · Rating 2 out of 5]

I voluntarily review an ARC of the book. It was my first urban fantasy eventhough I've read a lot of paranormal romance. It was a light quick read. It lacked depth & was too vanilla to my taste. The part that I enjoyed was the combat which was well described & full of action.

[Christina Luberts · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very cute short story. A quick romance, not to much action. For being a short story everything was a little rushed, but it really didn't hurt the read. If you only have a couple of hours to read this would be the book. I received a arc copy for my honest review.

[Nancy Bodie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed reading this book. I loved the unique storyline and world created. I will be looking for more from this author as I want to find out more about the characters and where she takes them.

[Kathy Brickert · Rating 2 out of 5]

Way too much

This was actually a collection of books, not just the cover story one. Which was the best of the bunch. It was pretty good, the others, not so much. Way too predictable and mostly just a jump into bed. Not what I was ex poo expecting.

[Rickie · Rating 4 out of 5]

A delightful romp that showed a changing of opinion for the wee folk. Sometimes you have to step outside the box to find what you truly want. Victor and Eloise did it seamlessly....well, with a few bumps in the road to their HEA. I'd recommend this read for those who believe in romance.
