"Ms. Hunter developed an intriguing world, setting, and secondary characters." - Harlequin Junkie

About the Author

Kelly Hunter has always had a weakness for fairytales, fantasy worlds, and losing herself in a good book. She is married with two children, avoids cooking and cleaning, and despite the best efforts of her family, is no sports fan! Kelly is however, a keen gardener and has a fondness for roses. Kelly was born in Australia and has travelled extensively. Although she enjoys living and working in different parts of the world, she still calls Australia home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!

The harlequin presents brand format is beyond familiar to me, treasured, and loved because it speaks consistently to the human need in me for connection and love. This book achieved that while still blowing my mind and touching my heart deeply. It confirmed to the “Presents” series brand while expanding beyond it. The storytelling and writing was nuanced and achingly profound. Of all of the plot themes in the Presents series, the “royal” plot theme is my next to last unliked (sheikhs being the bottom); and yet this “royals” themed plot line blew me away. Again, Wow.

I love Kelly Hunter but this book was werid. All the servitude theme of the harem was odd in a modern romance. Pulled it around towards the end but awkwardly painful most the time.

Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2021
Kelly Hunter never disappoints me with one of her stories, they are sensual, filled with passion and they are witty and I am loving this series and yes I know I am behind but I know the next one is coming very soon and made sure I was caught up for it, I loved seeing modern day King Augustus cope with his gift of a courtesan and how this works out it just sexy, sensual and fabulous and a must read for lovers of romance.

King Augustus has been bought up for duty he is honest and hard working at reaching the age of thirty he still hasn’t found himself a bride so his country has reverted to an old custom of delivering him a courtesan and he is not happy at all, but when Sera arrives she is temptation in herself, will he be able to send her away or lose his total self- control.

Sera has been trained to serve in many ways, she is beautiful and very clever she comes from an old order and arrives at the Araniun Palace to help King Augustus find a wife she cannot be free until that happens. Sera moves into the old part of the palace and redecorates but can she keep a wall around her heart when she wants so much to give herself to Augustus.

What a fabulous story this one is I loved seeing Sera and Augustus lose their hearts to love in such a sensual journey, this was the last thing either of them wanted but it was the best for both of them Sera was meant to be a Queen, Augustus’s Queen. This is a story that I would highly recommend, I loved it there were lots of smiles and sighs from me, and I do hope that you will pick this one up.

I love this book by Kelly Hunter. It's funny fast paced and sexy. King Augustus is a modern king. He doesn't want a courtesan but she's determined to have him.

3.0 out of 5 stars Strange
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2019

It was really strange to read about a courtesan in a present time story
Sera a courtesan for Augustus the King.
Quite rightly Agustus is horrified at being presented with a Courtesan by the High Reaches (could you be more inspired by Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones!!!!) who are abiding by the rules of an ancient accord.
The attitude of Sera with regard to the 'services' provided, is very consistent with someone who has been reared with the sole purpose : to be a 'courtesan' ……… the moral compass is different.
The servitude is consistent with the role Sera has to play, but I cringed every time.
Kelly Hunter pulls it all together, but really strange.

The Epilogue puts you back in imagining the scene like in Game of Thrones ... LOL

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2019
This is the third in a series that I've enjoyed but was hesitant based on the summary. She is not really a courtesan more a muse with benefits. Anyway best of the bunch. Not your typical plot. Now in my all time favorite collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant but uncomfortable!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 21, 2020

I feel utterly schizophrenic after reading this one as I really enjoyed it and yet also found myself disapproving of aspects of it.

The blurb tells you all you need to know in terms of the storyline, I simply offer my comments about why I loved and hated it.

KH does a magnificent job of creating an alternative world in both the backstory to the world in which Lady Ianthe has brought up the courtesan Lady Sera, but also in creating the reality of the courtesan in the secret setting in the palace. It was incredibly atmospheric and evocative. KH can really write descriptive prose and zinging dialogue. I loved Sera and Adolphus and the way their relationship developed. I loved the resolution and the ending.

I got the courtesan stuff. Women have held enormous power through their role as a courtesan throughout history - so taking it a step further to some imaginary world where courtesans were trained to wield power where needed, and gifted to a king if he reached 30 without marrying, was an ingenious idea and incredibly well executed.

What made me feel really uncomfortable, was the idea that a 7-year-old child had been brainwashed into accepting that this was her role and also that she had been trained to be everything her ‘master’ wanted, regardless of what she might have felt about it. It goes against everything I believe in terms of autonomy and freedom and seems like child exploitation even if she still had her virginity.

I felt uncomfortable that the first sexual act between our h/H puts him in the driving seat (literally) and her on her knees doing for real what she has practiced on with toys and dildos. Her calm acceptance that this was okay simply jarred with me. Did she think that because it was a reasoned, intellectual decision or because she had been ‘guilted’ into it by her training since the age of 7? Whatever, it grates on me. I mean it was really romantic - not!!

But on balance, I have put my qualms to one side because at the end of the day, this is a Mills and Boon fantasy and as such, apart from that first sex scene, I thought it was well written and enormously entertaining. And it certainly made me think!

This is so completely unexpected - it will take your breath away! It’s mystical, historical, modern & confronting. You would be doing yourself a disfavour if you dismiss this as a mere ‘Mills & Boon’. Kelly Hunter has, once again, coloured outside the lines.
