Eala is a lovely character, beautiful, thoughtful, brave, and loyal. When the Queen of the Swans meets Cathal, she is drawn to him immediately, and bit by bit, his goodness draws her in. But being with him could mean the end of the lives of all of the swans. Can she find a way to protect her people and her heart? I thoroughly enjoyed this little book. It all of the elements and feel of a good fantasy fairy tale, and was easy to read and appreciate. The story flowed well, and I was invested in the characters. Also, the cover art is gorgeous! A solid read.

Cathal spent the majority of his life taking the fall for his younger brother. Years of taking the blame and the punishments and the cruelty never got any better. One day Cathal’s brother decided to hunt the royal swans that were forbidden to be hunted. When Cathal caught wind of what his brother was thinking he went after him. Cathal was afraid of finding an injured Swan. Unfortunately that is exactly what he found. Cathal nursed the swan back to health and set her free.
Years later, Cathal’s brother decided to finish what he started and made his way to Swan Island. Cathal of course followed. Once on the island Cathal is attacked by a hoard of swans and when he awakens he meets the Queen of the Swans named Eala.
Eala is a prisoner on the island, enslaved by the King. Her passion to protect her people is what keeps her there. After meeting Cathal she starts to rethink the future of both herself and her people. Is there a way to get off this island and live freely like they so deserve.
Meanwhile there are a few secrets that can make or break everything Eala and Cathal are building towards said future.
The author took two classic fairy tales and put their own spin on things. It was very exciting to read. As a child I loved fairy tales and this was an adult version of two mashed together! I would highly recommend reading this fairy tale!

I enjoyed this story very much. It read much like a fairy tale romance where you rooted for that happy ending. Carthal was that prince charming and Eala was very much his princess. All obstacles that stood between them were dashed down at some point on their road to HEA. The story itself was romantic, dramatic, and beautifully told.

This book started out a little slow and confusing but it definitely picked up. The story was good and the characters were likeable. It does end with a happy ending and I hope that the author gives us more of this world.

Wonderful! This was an excellent fairytale style story, something I haven’t read before. If I were Cathal it would be hard to forgive my grandmother for the suffering growing up, but Cathal is an amazing human and could understand her reasons and still loved her and cherished her. I love Cathal and Eala as a couple, they are super sweet, kind, caring and just all around great people or magical creatures and deserve every bit of happiness, especially with how they have both lived thus far. Eala enslaved to the king for years and Cathal always getting punished in place of his evil brother. The way the story flowed so nicely and everything came together in the end, it truly read like a fairytale. I highly recommend for any romance and fairytale lover.

This retelling of this combination of fairy tales was an interesting read, to say the least. I had yet to read anything by this author and was curious as I had heard plenty of positive reviews regarding her previous written works. I am quite glad that I did, as she is very apt in the art of creating a beautiful world, Swan Island, and building up the characters who we follow through this romance, being Cathal, Odhran, their grandmother, Cara, Eala, and her beautiful Swan family. “No good deed ever goes wasted,” (Harold S. Kushner) comes to mind while reading this novel, as Cathal is the kindest soul you could ever imagine, and saved Eala a decade ago who was in the form of her swan at the time, and neither of them had forgotten those couple of fateful weeks where he nursed her back to health, putting his own on the line.
Overall, I did enjoy this story quite a bit, however, I did find it to be very slow going at times, and there were a couple of times that the same thoughts and ideas were brought forward, making it a little long winded. The family ties, chosen and blood, and the inner turmoil felt throughout the story line was endearing, and elicited feelings of sadness, heartbreak, hope, and love, and I love when fairy tales are told in a different light than the original. I am excited to see if this author visits more fairy tales in the future and will be reading more by her soon. Very good read!

I loved this fairytale romance story. This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. I have loved reading her books since the first one I picked up by her. One of the things I love about her books is her ability to pull me into her stories from the first word. I also enjoy her writing style and attention to details that not only make her stories realistic but also make them pop. This book is no different. This is a story that is well written and takes on a fairytale feeling. This is a fast paced story where the characters kept me coming back for more. I enjoyed how relatable they were and how they brought the story to life. This is a story about a queen who has been held captive not only that but she has fallen for the man who holds her captive. Now he is faced with risking himself, freeing the queen and causing misery to the people. I enjoyed the growth of the plot throughout the story as it made the story easy to read. This is a great flowing romance story that you don’t want to miss. This is a must read. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Love the Grimm’s Fairytales? This might be the book for you! Cathal and Eala want a life together but in this twisted fairytale, the young couple faces many challenges. In their world, violence and cruelty are common and many people must fight for survival. However, there is also beauty in their world. This well-written story is sure to take you on an emotional roller coaster and is filled with characters that you will either love or hate!

This author did a wonderful job of blending a few fairytales. At first it was a little confusing, but once you get the hang of it, it’s easy to split the characters. The retelling of these fairytales along with combining them, is something I dont see very often and it’s not done well. But this author baffled me and did it wonderfully. She builds this world and it is simply amazing to ay the least. I loved reading about Cathal and Eala had me crying, laughing, and being angry and a whole slew of other emotions. Wonderful job! Im looking forward to reading her other books!

I love retold fairy tales, and this one did not let me down. I love the way the story was artfully told and how it drew me right in with the evil king. I loved Swan Island and was cheering for Cathal and Eala to find their happily ever after. The twists and turns were exciting, and I couldn’t wait to see how it all resolved. Definitely a fun read that appeals to my inner kid that loves fairy tales and happily ever afters.

A twisty romantic fantasy Fairytale retelling where violence and viciousness are commonplace. Where cruelty and arrogance leave others fighting for survival. Yet there is also amazing beauty. There is lots of emotional turmoil in this story. There are secrets and lies, destiny and curses, pain and misery, love and magic, shifters, and witches. It is a world where a despicable king, and his cruel and nasty son reign. It is a story where a reluctant hero finds beauty amongst the pain and suffering. It is a love that neither expected. It is hope that freedom will be won. Reviewed by @jennadb

A story about True love that is Fairy Tale as well? That is right up my alley! This was a wonderful and beautiful read. i really fell in love with the concept of the story and the characters over and over again. The story had its own enrichment, but truly shows how we can prove how deep a love for someone goes.
I loved how Cathal and Eala were truly a symbol for what true love is suppose to be. Everything seems against them, literally constantly, but they want to again and again define those odds. And not give up. They want to be together, and get what they both want, and that is to be by one another’s side. To me, it would have been easier to give up than to fight to be together. They didn’t care about dangers they faced. I loved that aspect of this story, and it really moved me. I loved the fine details as well of this story, it was very visual and beautiful to me. I loved how each character was different than the rest, the side characters had their own definitions of themselves as well. I really had a great time reading this book, and enjoyed this book, I really loved it for all it was. Amazing read!
Highly recommend this book to everyone. I was really moved and touched by this boo. It was powerful and beautiful, and I could not get enough. I am a first time reader for this author as well, but this certainly will not be my last adventure. High recommendation from me for this book and author!

I fell in love with this twist of several fairy tales. Cathal and Eala are just wanting to live a life together. He’s a prince and she’s trapped (and did I mention Queen of the Swans) in a cage. Well-written and engaging, the characters in this story will either win you over or you will hate them. You’ll find yourself rooting for our couple to get through their challenges. The characters in the story are described so well that you feel like you could know them. Like every fairy tale, your emotions will go up and down as the tale progresses. Loved it. I recommend this book.

Once upon a time there was a captive queen who fell in love with a tormented hero.
When Cathal follows his cruel brother into the sacred and forbidden Swan Island, he walks straight into the hands of the King’s swans and the heart of their beautiful queen.
Eala lives in a gilded cage, a puppet controlled by the king of Nem. She wants nothing else but to be free from the king’s clutches and to live happily ever after in Cathal’s arms.
While Cathal is determined to break Eala out of her cage even if he dies trying, Eala is driven by the desire to protect him and her people at all costs.
Destiny, however, has other plans.
Secrets, long hidden and forgotten, resurface as Eala and Cathal realize nothing is what it seems except their love for each other.
Will Cathal be able to free his queen without dooming himself and her people to a life of pain and misery?
Kiss of the Swan is a reimagined and fractured fairy tale drawing from stories such as Sleeping Beauty and the Tale of the Six Swans. Let the magic of the swans fill your heart and leave you breathless.
Natalina Reis is an international bestseller who wrote her first romance at the age of thirteen. Since then she has published many romances that defy the boundaries of her genre. She enjoys writing all kinds of rebels and outcasts into her stories and she always roots for the underdog.
Natalina doesn’t believe you can have too many books or too much coffee. Art and dance make her happy and she is pretty sure she could survive on lobster and bananas alone. When she is not writing or stressing over lesson plans, she shares her life with her husband and two adult sons.

Dating the It Guy by Krysten Lindsay Hager Four Stars
Dating the It Guy is a YA, High School Coming of Age story by Krysten Lindsay Hager. This is the first book I have read by this author, but it definitely won’t be the last. The characters are amazingly detailed and the emotions had me all over the place. I was laughing one minute and reaching for a tissue the next. This is one book I couldn’t put down, it brought back memories of my high school time many years ago. I would recommend this book to anyone no matter their age. I look forward to reading more from Ms. Hager.

Ever want to read a romcom that unfolds like one of your favorite binge worthy movies? Are you like me and miss the classic Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan banter or watching Sandra Bullock hilariously carry another comedy toward a happy ending? This book was just such a fun read for me. The characters were real and I loved the witty dialogue. It unfolded before like a beloved Saturday afternoon flick. I love this author’s ability to pull me right in and cannot wait to read this again.

Dating the Intern is Natalina Reis’ new romcom, and my new favorite book of hers. She is one of my go to authors. I like her writing style, and her attention to details. This book held my attention from beginning to end. My emotions were all over the place with this one. My thoughts are that it is a great book, if it makes you laugh out loud or sob like a baby. This book did both. Ivory and Li-Qiang are great characters with some hot chemistry. This book was just what I needed to de-stress for a few hours. Looking forward to reading more from Ms. Reis in the future.

This is the first time I’ve read anything by Natalina Reis, but I will definitely be searching for more! Dating the Intern is a feel-good, rom-com that also includes an element of emotional abuse. This element of realism made me fall in love with the character Ivory all the more! Despite her battling demons in her head daily, Ivory slowly begins to overcome her past to live and love in her present! Ivory’s handsome intern, Li Qiang, offers to help her out when she’s in a bind, but their chemistry for one another is hard to resist! Natalina Reis delivers with laughter, love, and a whole lot of heart!

DATING THE INTERN by Natalina Reis is a very fun rom com, with humor, romance, emotion, and more. Ms. Reis really knows how to write her plot in such a beautiful fashion that she hooks her readers from the very beginning. She includes all of our favorite things for a good rom com and gives us just enough drama to keep us on the edge of our seats. Personally I loved that this story was a little more light-hearted then some stories, proving to be the perfect short rom com that you need in-between more serious stories.

I was pulled into and captured by this beautifully written book by Natalina Reis. It’s a Romantic Comedy that touches on dealing with trauma and with verbal abuse. I normally read more fantasy/syfy type books but this one caught my attention and held it. This book was funny, sweet, sexy, and just full of love. Ivory Towers is a successful business woman who runs a dating company but has a hard time with finding love herself. When the opportunity comes to promote her business by letting the world see she not only gives great advice but lives by it as well she freaks out and accepts the help of a very attractive intern -Li Qiang- who has been watching her for quite some time. What started as a fake relationship to save face really blossomed into a very real love story. I will be quick to pick up another book written by her, it’s been so long since I enjoyed a romance like this. Also her use of Mandarin words and phrases throughout the book was such a great way to bring the character to life.

This one starts out with a premise we’ve seen before – for one reason or another, a woman finds herself in a bind due to a little white lie that snowballs quickly. Ivory, matchmaker by trade, tells a reporter doing a feature on her business that she has a boyfriend, and now needs to find one PDQ! Enter sexy young intern Li Qiang, who volunteers to fill the role and save her skin, and hilarious hijinks ensue. Ivory is a tad on the clueless side, and seems to be unable to assess the information in front of her as to whether or not her burgeoning real feelings for the intelligent faux beau are reciprocated or not. Putting that aside, this story does actually go to some interesting places emotionally, adding some depth and shadow to the pairing that is pretty interesting. The book is romantic, whimsical, and sultry with some nuance to the characters I found entertaining. A good read.

This story is good although not one of my favorites by this author. The story moves along at a nice pace and the characters are very down to earth. I just really struggled to feel the connection between these two characters. At times it would show up with his character but hers it just never came. She is a successful owner of her own company who has a lot of inner turmoil and hidden issues. I was just surprised someone who built their own company would act the way this character does.
I really enjoyed his family and her friend they were all good secondary characters. The younger brother added some comic relief to the story.
Overall I enjoyed the characters and the issues that were brought up are very true to form. It moves along and has a nice flow.

A fun and quick read to enjoy on a weekend. Well worth the purchase. This author was new to me. i enjoyed her style of writing as the main character is shy and you can see it in the writing. The plot is very entertaining. Who doesn’t enjoy reading about a developer who makes a dating app yet doesn’t have an SO? I always love these stories as the scramble is on to find one. Her assistant is both smart and hot? Bingo. Their interactions were well-developed and realistic, funny too. For a book nerd like me (yes, I admit it!), this book hits all the right spots. Run out and get it, go order or do whatever you do to read it. Highly recommend you read it.

This was my first book by Natalina Reis, as well as an age gap where the woman is older. I assumed this book would be very cheesy from reading the description but found out during the first few pages it’s very natural. Ivory Tower’s skepticism with love is very relatable and doesn’t seem forced or cliche. While reading the book at first I did think it was a little weird that the author repeated the character’s full name like “Li Quang” and “Amber Lee” consistently, but I found it helped the characters stick in my head. I loved this book and am looking forward to reading more by this author.

This book was so much fun to read. Something light is just what I needed to read and this was perfect. Ivory is a successful business woman that owns her own online dating company. She helps find love for everyone else whom become her clients except for herself. Li Qiang is one of the interns at Ivory’s company and 10 years younger in age. When a TV station would like to feature Ivory and her company and get to know her on a more personal level with her “boyfriend” there is one issue….Ivory does not have a boyfriend. In comes Li Qiang to the rescue. Can they pull off their fake “relationship” or does it turn into something truly real? I loved this book…definitely worth the read!

Dating The Intern is a great contemporary romance by Natalina Reis. I have read a few of her books before and have really enjoyed what I have read and was looking forward to reading more of her work. I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it to others. Ivory Tower owns a very successful online dating business but when a TV show wants to feature her, they want to see how her love life is going. The problem is that Ivory is single. That’s when her gorgeous intern Li Qiang steps in and offers to play the part of her adoring boyfriend. Li Qiang is 10 years younger than her and is drop dead gorgeous. How can she help but not fall for him. Ivory is gorgeous and successful so how can Li Qiang help not falling for her? I loved reading Ivory and Li Qiang’s story. I’m a sucker for a fake romance and an office romance and this book encapsulates both tropes very well. I loved both characters. They are very well written and very relatable and their interactions make for very entertaining reading. If you like and office romance or a fake boyfriend romance then Dating The Intern is the book for you.

Dating the Intern by Natalina Reis a light-hearted and sweet five-star read. I enjoy reading this author, they always have a fresh twist to what ever they write, and I enjoy the writing and the story. It was fun, watching what started as fake and just something to keep others happy ended up showing a much deeper happiness. This has some great characters and set ups, these story is deep enough that you feel the connection but not so deep that you get bogged down, if you are looking for light, funny and charming then this is for you.

I devoured this book in one go. Gahhh, Li Qiang was so flipping sweet. The whole dominant, manly man alpha male is great and all, but sometimes I just want to read a sweet romance where the guy is so good it’s adorable. That’s exactly what I got from this. And as much as Ivory started to drive me crazy with her second guessing everything he said, it’s relatable. Sometimes insecurities do sweep in and try to sabotage good things. Also, I adored Wei’re! Such a lovable little side character!

Dating the Intern by Natalina Reis 4 out of 5 Stars Dating the Intern is such a sweet book. I loved Ivory and Li Quang. I loved the relationship they had before, and I loved the relationship it developed into. Ivory is a CEO of a successful dating company and Li Qiang is an intern in her office and is nearly ten years younger. When a mishap with the local TV station occurs, Li Qiang offers to pose as her boyfriend, believing it will solve all the problems, but it may just cause more. This book was beyond adorable, and Reis is an incredible author. The only thing I wish I had more of was learning more about Li Qiang’s success and why he was an intern. A solid 4 out of 5 stars.
