The story was good until the last part. She was hurt, her baby reject and she goes back to him like nothing?  The writer needed to give some time, him to regaining her trust, maybe let the baby be born, months pass, then she will trust him again an take him back. Sorry the writer missed the final by a lot

Where do I begin with the whole courtesan thing? Like other reviewers I had problems with this. The idea that a woman with a known sexual history (supposedly) would be acceptable to be Queen, consort to the king and mother to the next king is a big stumbling block for believability for me. Though as Rocco says at one point, he wouldn't be the first king to marry his mistress. *cough* American woman, abdicated king. But yeah...the whole abdication thing would have been a downer. But if you go back in history, well known mistresses of powerful men were accepted in high society within certain parameters. And infidelity in royal circles is not unexpected. It's only in recent years that we have imposed expectations of a middle class morality on them. So...I can live with that, especially as the events surrounding Rocco's approval as king brought the country to the brink of danger and he would have a high approval rating by the time he presented his potential bride.So, back to the story. Ottavia Romolo has history that cannot be ignored. Well known among certain circles as a companion (read courtesan, suspect high priced hooker) to mostly mature men, the attraction Rocco feels for her is inconvenient considering he's about to go bride hunting among the princesses of Europe to meet a deadline imposed by factions within the government.Ottavia is very experienced at the business of being a courtesan and for her it is purely business. She does not want to be attracted to her clients or make for complications. The attraction she feels for Rocco is therefore rather inconvenient...and tempting.So we have two people, unwillingly attracted, with no future, putting together a contract for a limited time business deal. You can see the problems already. Luckily there are opportunities for Ottavia to demonstrate exactly how clever she is and how suitable to be his Queen, except for the whole courtesan thing.Overall this was an interesting read on a challenging subject in more ways than one. The jerk factor on Rocco's side got a little high at one point and another complication was resolved way too conveniently. The villains were obvious but there was a certain amount of tension waiting for them to make their move.This wasn't a perfect book. But it did make me cry close to the end so according to my rules, it had to get 5 stars. It gave me the feels and they were good feels.
