Review of BEHIND THE COURTESAN'S MASK by Marguerite Kaye
BEHIND THE COURTESAN’S MASK
Marguerite Kaye
Harlequin Undone (Short, sexy ebooks)
Date: March 2012
ISBN: 978-1459224049
Erotic Historical Romance
Short story
Author requested review
London, 1818
Troy Templeton, the Earl of Ettrick, has been tasked with the strangest
job of his diplomatic career: visit London’s most notorious courtesan, La
Perla, to warn off the ambassador’s besotted son. Instead, he’s irresistibly
drawn to her beguiling combination of sensuality and unexpected innocence.
Little does he realize that “La Perla” is actually her twin sister,
Constance. Staying in her sister’s home, Constance is aroused by its erotic
ambience and dreams about the sinful delights that have taken place within its
walls. And as La Perla, she can finally experience such pleasure for herself
with Troy—if she can maintain the ruse….

When Laurie asked me if I wanted to read BEHIND THE COURTESAN’S MASK,
there wasn’t any hesitation from me – for several reasons. I’ve been seeing Ms. Kaye’s name bandied
about online and I haven’t had the opportunity to sample her work. Historical romance is rapidly becoming my
most favorite sub-genre and lastly, Harlequin romances are my crack. ARGH!!!
Constance has arrived in London to settle her sister’s affairs. A twin sister she met only six months ago and
now, gone after such a short time. When
an unexpected visitor arrives on her doorstep, Miss Prim-and-Proper Constance
throws caution to the wind and lets the stranger keep assuming that she is her
sister, the infamous Courtesan, La Perla.
The “dance” these two engage in while negotiating for one night of her
services will leave you quivering.
The writing is enticingly erotic and hypnotizing. And this is before the H/h get hot and nasty!
Dipping her fingers into scented oils, slipping her wrist through what looked like a swansdown manacle, Constance tried to conjure up the dark and pleasurable world that her sister had inhabited. What would it be like? How would it feel to be her? To sin with a virile man, a potent man, a desirable man? A man who found no shame in indulging his desire? She closed her eyes, caressed her cheek with the feathers of the manacle and shivered. Here in this temple of the flesh, which was Annalisa’s domain, it was almost possible to imagine the exquisite pleasure that might result. Arousal rippled through her.
If you have shied away from reading Harlequin romances (you know who
you are - - I’m not reading those! - - wouldn’t be caught dead reading that! -
- old lady books - - blah blah blah). . . .BEHIND THE COURTESAN’S MASK is a good
place to start. This short story had me
hooked in seconds flat. The emotional
intensity that develops between Constance and Troy is impressive and highly
flammable! Ms. Kaye has captured the emotional
hungering in BEHIND THE COURTESAN’S MASK that I feel makes an excellent historical
romance. And in turn, she can add
another fanatic to her following.
