Warlord Tane of Atlan is a warrior, not a prince.
So why is he wearing these ridiculous white pants and gold-trimmed jacket?
And gods help him, why are there hundreds of females in glittering gowns, circling like vultures, expecting him to dance?
The human producers of the Bachelor Beast television show thought this would be a good idea; dress up an unmated Warlord like a fairytale prince, invite hundreds of eligible human women to a ‘Cinderella Ball’, turn on their cameras and record everything.
And then he sees her. His mate. The only female who can tame his beast.
But…
This princess wasn’t supposed to be at the ball. A borrowed ball gown. A stolen invitation. A friend in trouble. Everything is going according to plan…until she can no longer resist temptation.
Surely once dance won’t hurt?
Even a dance with a beast.
I am trash for fated mates and Beast Charming delivers! You get a bit of a twist on Cinderella, a dash of intergalactic racism, and a heap of hot romance!
Elena is a great heroine because she is smart and resourceful. She loves her job, but HATES her boss. With good reason as it turns out he is super xenophobic. When he realizes she has caught the eye of an Atlan Warlord named Tane, he encourages the relationship so he can twist it to fit his racist rhetoric.
Overall, I found this story absolutely charming! This will melt your heart and send your ereader up in flames!

Beast Charming
This sounds so good and I hear so many good things about this author that I really need to try her books out and soon. Definitely sounds like a book up my alley.
Great review! Happy reading!
OMG, I’m sold. All you had to say was fated mates and I was ready to read this, I can’t even help myself. I always like a few short easy reads on my Kindle so I’m off to buy this now.
I’ve picked up a few in this series but I’ve yet to read them. I’ll have to rectify that. 😉 I, too, am a fool for the fated mates trope so this is right up my alley. Glad you enjoyed it!
