REVIEW: The Mistress That Tamed De Santis by Natalie Anderson

In The Mistress That Tamed De Santis by Natalie Anderson, Crown prince Antonio De Santis hasn’t touched a woman since the tragedy that took his fiancée. But an unexpected encounter with notorious temptress Bella Sanchez has this royal breaking his one rule…and he discovers this seductress is not what she seems!

For Bella, life has been an empty performance since the injury that ended her prima ballerina career. But when Antonio demands her presence in his palace, she can’t resist the stolen moments he offers. Their forbidden affair must be kept secret, but soon Bella is faced with a choice—surrender her heart, or tame the De Santis prince!

I was eagerly waiting for this because I loved the first part of this duet and though I enjoyed this part too, it was not as amazing as the first part. Antonio is the mature and responsible crown prince of De Santis. After the death of his fiancee, he has closed off himself from everyone. Emotions relating to love or lust no longer hold anyplace in his life. I loved how Bella broke his frigid exterior and how much different she was than Antonio. She is a self made person and I liked how strong she was despite the scandals and rumors surrounding her. I thought the pace of the story was slow and it takes a while to get in the flow of the story. The romance was good because the characters shared a nice chemistry and their were definitely some serious tension between them. Overall, an enjoyable romance with likable characters.
