No Man Can Tame
I had a major book hangover after I read Radiance and Eidolon, to the point where I fell into a reading slump. However, I'm glad it didn't last long. Miranda Honfluer's "No Man Can Tame" was the cure I needed. It was exceptional! I felt like I was part of the story and I wanted to live in Nightbloom. The love story made me swoon and had me up until 1:00 AM. Now I'm sad, because I want to read book 2 but it has not been released yet.

Couldn't Put it Down
I am picky as hell about my romance. Especially my fantasy romance.And I can honestly say that this is one of the best romances I have read in a long time.This book did not disappoint me in any way. I adored the characters, the settings, the plot, and the romance. It was absolutely amazing. Seriously, it's not often that I find myself legitimately jealous of a heroine, but damn if I didn't want to be in Aless's shoes the entire time I was reading. Even some of my favorite romance authors occasionally annoy me with alpha heroes that have severe control issues and superiority complexes, but Veron is a character that I both understood, respected, and adored, every step of the way.I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys slow-burn epic romance, mysterious magic, fantastic worldbuilding, and well-developed characters.

Loved it from start to finish
I absolutely loved this story from start to finish. I would constantly check how much I had left to read because I didn't want it to end. The story pulls a few traits from The Beauty and the Beast fairytale and creates a fresh and unique spin on the beloved tale.-----mild spoilers-----Princess Alessandra (Aless) has been sent out repeatedly to different kingdoms to find a suitable marriage, in hopes of controlling and taming her by her father. Once again she returns home unmarried and no new prospects, resulting in her father arranging a marriage for her. According to him she is set to marry one of the monstrous and mysterious dark-elves in order to forge a treaty and then to strengthen the treaty by Royal Progress to show a united front and harmonious union. She knows that there is no way out, but she isn't going to go without standing up for herself.Prince Veron on the other hand, has been raised knowing he is to be bargained off by his queen to strengthen the Queendom. He only has one hope and request: that he can trust his new bride and that she marry him willingly.The couple face opposition at every turn, making their journey a treacherous one which brings them closer together as each page goes on.Aless is brave, using her intelligence that had previously been surpressed and blatently ignored. She is a strong female character who doesnt go weak in the knees because a strong man is presented to her. Reading through the development of herself and Veron was heartwarming, and just an overall pleasure.

No.
I have tried to read this twice, mostly because the review compare it to Grace Draven's wonderfully written "Radiance". No...Just ...NO. I simply could not get past the bad writing, the bad editing and the scattered Italian words. I very rarely give books a scathing review but this one was simply not well written. It is a shame, because the premise is solid. Heavily edit, change some names, et al and it could be a wonderful nook.

Amazingly Good
This is a wonderfully written piece of romantic fantasy. The tale of two worlds colliding, finding similarity in the differences and lastly finding love.Alessandra is a princess who wants to follow her dreams but knows that her decisions are not always going to be her own.Vernon a prince and dark elf is loyal to a fault and his sense of duty to the queendom unquestioned.Arranged for marriage to bring peace between the two kingdoms and an united force against the immortali that kill indiscriminately Alessandra and Vernon must find a way to prove to each other and the kingdom's the meaning of peace. And just maybe love along the way.I love those two characters! This was such a good read.

Great story
This is my first time reading a book by this author and I can't wait to read more! I really enjoy the way she weaves a story, while slipping in small but unique bits that all fall in place later. Its a nice comfortable read that I didn't mind losing sleep over and now I'm looking forward to the next one in the series. She has ceated such an interesting and beautiful new underground world that I sincerely hope will produce many more books in the series!!

In a world divided by species alliances, a deep love is found in the unlikeliest of ways
When I first came across, "No Man Can Tame," I was intrigued by the synopsis. An elf princess and human princess bound to a marriage to mend fences across the turbulent world of human and sub-human species. While I do love fictional worlds outside our own, I can't say that I ever really found one that stuck with me...until this one."No Man Can Tame" is a beautiful love story that reels you in right from the start. The characters are real, raw and believable in their strife and emotions. The evolving emotions and passion between Alessa and Veron is powerful, and pulls you in almost immediately. The relationship definitely meets its fair share of hill and valleys, but ultimately, the love that is found between them proves unbreakable and beautiful.Set against the backdrop of a world about to go to war, Alessa and Veron's love is a beacon of light in a relatively dark and angst-simmering world.If you are searching for a love story that sticks with long after the final pages, then "No Man Can Tame" will definitely quench your thirst and leave you wanting more of this enchanted world.

Must read!
I was pulled into this story from the very beginning. Miranda's world and character building is spot on. I highly recommend No Man Can Take for anyone that's into fantasy and romance. I personally couldn't stop reading until the end and definitely looking forward to the next book in this series!

Loved It!
The writing style and character development through this book were really enjoyable. A well written fantasy romance with a well crafted story. I loved that Veron was still kind and caring and also portrayed as a strong, fearless warrior with integrity and respect for the woman he falls for. It was refreshing to have a heroine who can still be strong without having to be a warrior or able to fight or use magic too

Beautiful
Great read, great pace, great characters, just a whole bunch of greatness really 😆Love love love books that give us a view into two extreme world's with characters to suit each respectively, and to tell us a story of how through all odds, they come together.The only critique I could have for this book was, I found it to be a bit too mushy gushy romance cliché at some moments and Veron and Aless' relationship was a bit quick and easy.. and one last thing that, not sure if intended on purpose by authour, but found gaps in the "villains" plans and a bit predictable, I'd rather be kept guessing and not underestimate a villain. But then again that could be the background to the main focus which could've been more on the romantic side of things 😊 honestly still loved the story, authour could do with some minor improvements with story ideas etc but honestly great first impression and loved the ideas around the story (loved the avatar vibe going on with bioluminescence etc 😍).Anyway deffo recommend!

Outstanding story!
This book is a joy to read. While it is a fantasy romance, it is so much more. I was caught up in the plot, believed in the characters, and felt immersed in the world that they lived in. Although the next book in the Dark-Elves of Nightbloom series is not yet out, I am delighted to find that Miranda Honfleu had written a related Blade and Rose romantic epic series that I am off to explore now!

A really nice surprise
I have to say I really really enjoyed this book. Really good storyline and I have to say I loved the characters. The story flowed so well that before I knew it I was still reading into the early hours of the morning. I highly recommend and I'll definitely stay tuned for more from this author :)

Excellent read!! Highly recommend!!
This book was excellent. It’s the first book I’ve read from this author and I will be reading more of her work in the future. The book was very well written and the characters and story were well developed. I loved the individual character personalities and seeing their relationship dynamics change and evolve through the book. The story was action packed and full of twists and turns. It had suspense, intrigue, emotion, hot chemistry and romance. I’d highly recommend this book and hope there are future books to come!!
