King's Beloved #1

King's Bedwarmer

Rate this book
Uneducated villager meets worldly knight. One longs for friendship. The other desires something far less innocent.

Amel has been hired as the king’s bedwarmer. Everyone assumes a simple villager like him knows what the job entails, and he does! When the king comes back from war, Amel is to cuddle with him all night to relieve him of kingly stress. Amel has got it figured out . . . right?

Fortunately, in the hot springs beneath the castle, a devious knight is more than willing to teach Amel everything a bedwarmer has to know. Eager to keep his job and to befriend an exceptional nobleman, Amel is more than happy to learn from the knight.

Amel’s too trusting personality doesn’t allow him to see the knight’s sly nature. Likewise, the knight underestimates Amel’s innocence and gets him in hot water. Everyone knows the king is a possessive man, and he doesn’t like others touching what is his.

King’s Bedwarmer is a dark romantic comedy filled with rough and scorching MM shenanigans, and sprinkled with the beginnings of an absurd romance. This story contains exciting first times, barrages of filthy speech, and sweet aftercare. Enter the steamy hot springs at your own risk and see a couple arrive at an HFN!

EJ Taylor absolutely loves writing comically absurd scenarios and turning them steamy hot. They especially love writing two men thoroughly discovering each other's bodies, and mixing in a little romance as a bonus treat.

A hot and sweet surprise

This short little story was a delightful surprise! Having read the initial story elsewhere when it was simply erotica that was what I expected here. While this is certainly a book full of sexy times and unlikely sexual circumstances, it was also a fun and sweet read. The main character is over the top naive and innocent, but that is actually what brings the humour and heart to the story. His unusual sexual adventures are hot but his earnest faith through it all is actually quite sweet, and also effects his bed mate. There is an unexpected softness and fondness from the man who is supposed to be harsh and unforgiving, which promises for a sweet ending for the two. This short read was just perfect!

Delightful read

I really enjoy this shot read. I can't wait for the next book. Amel is adorable and Sir Sylan is charming in his own way, he is a possessive, selfish trickster but I can see that he love Amel. The situations were so cute and stimulating. Best MM erotica I ever read. It is somehow similar to my favourite book The knight and the necromancer but without magic ( unfortunately beacuse I love magic ) but with much more sex.

This is a short palette cleanser story 😄
The premise itself is a commoner who is very innocent and somehow ends up being a bed warmer for the king without actually understanding what the job entails 🤭
It was funny, cute and full of smut.

Weird and rapey, mc isn't just "innocent", he's clueless of anything sexual and gets taken advantage of.
