Title: Palace Secrets Author: Ravyn Rayne
Genre: Historical Romantic Erotica
Publication Date: June 5th, 2015 by Blushing Books
Plot: Love comes in many forms and always at a price.
At twenty-three, Princess Isabella must settle down for the sake of her kingdom. Caught up in a secret affair with her lady-in-waiting, Hannah, the princess knows it can only last for so long.
When Prince Alexander arrives to court her, he confides that his father is on his death bed, and he will be crowned king soon. Isabella hastily agrees to the proposal, desiring to be queen, knowing little about her soon to be husband.
Murder, secrets, and lies combine with menage, spanking, and erotic encounters in this steamy medieval romance.
☆✮ My Review ✮☆
☆ I received an RC via StarAngels Reviews & Promo Stars Services in exchange for an honest review. Thank you! ☆
What happens behind palace doors, doesn't always stay a secret...
A fast moving romance, Palace Secrets follows a forbidden romance between Princess Isabella and her lady-in-waiting, Hannah. As two women in love can hold no future, let alone one with no royal blood, their only time to really be together is behind palace wall, hidden away in Isabella's chambers.
But with Isabella of age to take on a husband, she is courted by a prince looking for a wife to ensure the safety of his kingdom.
And with deadly dalliances in the picture looking to take out the crown, who can Isabella truly trust? And with hearts on the line, will one heart? Two hearts? OR three hearts be broken in the end?
Will Isabella's and Hannah's love prevail, despite growing affections for her own husband?-- who, awfully looks like a person of suspicious character himself?
Read and you will find out!
An over all, steamy medieval romance", as the author would describe it, but with a kick of heated eroticism.

☆✮ Excerpt ✮☆
"Make a sound and you'll get another spanking," Alexander says. His tone is firm but light. Unlike the last time, he doesn't sound angry or disappointed with me. Is this how our lovemaking will be?
I'm both aroused and craving more of Alexander's affection. I bury my face into the pillow, trying my best not to make any noise. I moan quietly as his lashings grow harder, burning against my skin, making me wet. I'm glad Alexander's attention is on me. There's something about his power and control that fires me up inside. Is he doing this to teach me a lesson for being naughty or to arouse me?
"No, Hannah." Alexander's answer is both quick and abrupt. "I'm the only one in charge.
Maybe I should spank you both regularly for sneaking around the castle, behind my back. Would that make sure it doesn't happen again?" Alexander lets his hand land hard on my bottom. The sting grows fierce and I whimper in protest. When will his spankings turn to sex? He offered it to me the last time and I rejected him. It had been the only amount of control that I'd been given. Tonight, I would give him everything, and if he asked me to beg, I would.

What inspired you to write a historical romance?
This is actually my second time writing a historical piece. My first was a young adult series under the name Ruth Silver. It includes Dead Girl Walking and Forget Me Knot (available June 23rd). Both of those are part of the Royal Reaper saga. Those novels took place in the 14th century and with all the research I had previously done on the Black Plague, the clothing, language, and world building, I thought it would be fun to write another story that focused more on the royal side of things, with mischief, murder, and mayhem mixed in.
What time period does Palace Secrets take place?
Palace Secrets takes place in the late 14th century.
How many books are planned for the Palace Secrets series?
Two stories are already written and I’m currently working on the third book, which is still untitled. The second book is Maiden Claimed due for release in early August. Each book can be read as a standalone novel, as they’re written from a different character’s point of view.
Can you give us a hint as to the second book and who’s point of view we might see?
Hannah gets to tell her story. It follows after the events of Palace Secrets, so there’s no retelling of the same story. It’s an entirely new adventure with a character you will hopefully come to know and love.
