Spicy enemies to lovers fantasy romance with an HEA.
STAY AWAY FROM THE COURT JESTER. ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE A GOOD LITTLE PRINCESS.
The Court Jester marks his targets with a ribbon. That’s how I find out I’m next.
The moment that band of scarlet fabric appears on my pillow, I know it’s a promise—a bad omen delivered by someone wicked.
He’s powerful. He’s sinful.
They whisper about him in the castle’s shadowed halls. Everyone fears his devilish tongue, yet everyone desires his heated touch.
With each seductive temptation, I fall under the jester’s spell. With every forbidden moment, he ignites a fire that I’ve never known before.
But the jester is guarding a treasonous secret. And becoming his obsession is dangerous.
As a good little princess, I should know. Because if I don’t risk my ruin, I’ll surely sacrifice my heart.
WARNING: This is the first book in a scorching hot romantasy series with explicit sexual content and language. For readers 18+ who want heavy steam, epic forbidden love, a morally grey book boyfriend, and 'touch her and he'll unalive you' vibes.
Perfect for fans of LJ Andrews, Sarah A. Parker, Carissa Broadbent, Laura Thalassa, and Raven Kennedy.

I'm so glad I ended up reading this one. SO GOOD!
Trick is definitely my favorite of the series. We meet Poet who is not the usual male lead you're used to. He is lanky, clever, sharp, manipulative, and a loving father all in one. Briar, the princess of Autumn, is serious, grieving, secretly adventurous. These two don't seem to go together at first and have some great dialogue where they snap at each other, but slowly they come to have feelings for each other. I really appreciate the development of their relationship. Their progression and trials all made sense to me.
There is more to this story than them. This book and the series truly follow the biggest human rights' issue in the four kingdoms, even if no one thinks of it that way. People with mental disabilities are treated less than human and are practically sold to the royalty of each kingdom for the good of them and the kingdom. I won't spoil how this issue affects this couple, but will say I absolutely love how the issue is brought up and dealt with.
There is also an LGBTQIA+ slant. Poet is free with his love for all sexes, Briar's friend is gay, and there isn't any stigma about sexual orientation which was nice to read.
I really want to read more books involving Jesters now...
10/10 would recommend this to people looking for a New Adult romance with a good story.
