The Shrinemaiden is the first of the Maidens trilogy, which takes place in the dark kingdom of Sarcopia, but remains a standalone. In the end, Adelai must use all the skills she’s learned both inside the bedroom and out of it to triumph against the men who want her, the men who would seek to possess her – and to win the man who loves her, against all odds. The choices Adelai will make shall take her from gilded manors and fancy balls to a cruel king’s royal court, where secrets lurk and loyalty is an illusion. On the eve of her auction, however, Adelai discovers treachery at play between two of the most powerful kingdoms in the land, and that she had become a pawn in a political game where the stakes are high, and one wrong move will mean war. As a shrinemaiden, she was raised to be a graceful, high-society courtesan catering only to the rich and powerful, for a price. It’s already in my TBR, and I will be begging Annie Eppa to let me review.Īdelai has known only one home – that of the Temple of Inne-annah, Goddess of Lust and Love. Kinlee and General Falen are introduced here, I loved them, and I think that one is going to be just as hot as this was, but we have to wait until Feb/Mar 2014 (whimper). I’m dying for the next in the series, The Slavemaiden. Nothing better than an old school military man, mmmm. Thornton was the definition of a sex on a stick alpha male, but was so much more than just brawn. Every single time I thought I had it all figured out, another curveball was thrown, and I found myself sitting up and thinking, ooh, tell me more! I had a great admiration for Adelai’s character, not only a highly sensual woman, but also one sharp cookie able to hold her own in a world filled with treachery and danger. The plot was a clever take on Queen Elizabeth’s Court lies and intrigue, and I also got a feel of a Roman Empire style thrown in. I was so hot and bothered throughout, I almost missed the story itself, but that would have been a shame because it was equally incredible. I don’t care who you are, or what genre of smut you like to read, if you like smut that is more than just soft porn on paper, this is a must-have in anyone’s collection.
Eppa kindly offered a copy to read and review.
I don’t often read the fantasy genre, but the synopsis for The Shrinemaiden had me intrigued so I decided to give it a whirl when Ms. This was smoking HOT!!! Seriously, one of the hottest books I’ve ever read.
