A dangerous romance unfolds between a lovestruck soldier and the king's concubine. The first light novel ever for Steamship, Seven Seas' imprint dedicated to sexy romance for women Noblewoman Giselle's world is turned upside down when she's summoned to serve as the king's prized concubine. Her heart already belongs to her manservant, Wallace, a soldier who worships the ground she walks on. Just as Giselle accepts that their blissful days are numbered, Wallace steals into her room in the palace with a desperate, hungry gaze. Spending the night with him is tantamount to treason...but their love is not one so easily denied.
I wanted a short one-shot light novel I could listen to, and I chose this one! I though the plot was promising and cute.
I did like the world on this. It has regency vibes. I don't think you can be too deep on this. What you read/listen, is what you get. It's very straight forward and it's very entertaining.
The way the story flows is good. I really like Wallace and how smart he is. I really like the conflict in the kingdom and how the story plays out in that one.
The romance... well it's something...
For me, the narrator was good. I liked how she stuck to the story and I thought the narrator delivered the characters well. Especially Giselle. Her voice for Giselle fits so much. It was well done!
