This one, however, I thought was delightful! A great end to this trio, with a shiny building architecture’d by the first dude whose name now complete escapes me. Adam?
While I still think Seraphina (who looks like Princess Una from the movie Stardust in my head) is my favorite of the trio, Thaïs comes second. Perhaps she would be first if typing her name didn’t require me to copy/paste every time…cursed umlauts. But Thaïs is that typical historical romance character, the out and open harlot who maintains a grand status by virtue of being exceedingly expensive and therefore pricey and you know once something is expensive it means that’s it’s FANCY. So she’s a FANCY harlot, and proudly so, and always wearing outfits where her boobs are a second away from falling out. Or have already fallen out, such is the risk.
In order to raise her portion of the funds, she decides to break her one-night-a-week-and-one-night-only (that’s all you have to spare/one night only, let’s not pretend to care) rule to give herself to one person for an entire month of no holds barred, sexy sexy love making. She’ll come with all her bits and bobs and boobs, and it’ll be a grand old time. Except that of course she’s been secretly hired by the buttoned up Lord who wants to learn how to sex for his future wife who will definitely be a well-bred aristocrat lady and not the fun, bubbly courtesan he’s shacked up with in the country with his sheep.
Basically this is wish fulfillment where you get to go off grid for a month and get three course meals made for you nightly including cake. It’s all a bit nonsense but I had a lot of fun.
