In the kingdom of Himeros, Abigail is despised for her gypsy heritage. Pushed to the fringes of society, she’s forced to break the law in order to help feed her family. When a castle guard catches her stealing bread, he intends to cut off her hand for the offense.
Niall has just taken the throne and is determined to prove he isn’t a monster like his father. Awakened by the cries of a gypsy, he spares her from the guard’s blade and takes her as his slave instead. When he learns she doesn’t understand the kingdom’s carnal ways, he becomes determined to strip her of all inhibitions until her every desire is in service to the king’s pleasure.
I really admire how Kitty Thomas pushes all the right buttons in you every single time, with a power so strong and simply irresistible . . . Dark, erotic and kinky are always the keys to fall for the fascinating and unique worlds Kitty creates, and I think that with this novella she has created a particularly enchanted world, where the bond between the couple is sensually captivating, just like the trust Abigail has for the King.
At some point something uncomfortable happens and it’s inevitable to start asking yourself if you can really accept some kind of situations and actions. But here’s the thing, you can wonder about your own morals as you please, in the end, you will always fall for that dark world the author shows you. In this case then, trust me, right or wrong, you’ll really want to be at the service of the king’s pleasure . . . Niall is an absolutely amazing Master/King and God help me, would that ever be a time in which I won’t like a so OMG-dominant-and-scary-Man of yours, Kitty Thomas?
This erotic, beautiful fairy tale was definitely something refreshing and a total pleasure to read, but of course I wouldn’t have expected nothing less from a Master of this genre like Kitty Thomas.
