Kayla St. James returns to the Fae Surrogates series with Betrayed By The Fae King , a novella that leans heavily into the "forced proximity" and "breeding contract" tropes. The story follows a human woman chosen to bear an heir for Cormar, the leader of Kraterra’s armies. What starts as a cold, political arrangement quickly shifts into a passionate, and often dubious, romantic entanglement. What Works:

Betrayed By The Fae King is a fantastic choice if you want a short, steamy dark fantasy to cleanse your palate between longer series. However, if you prefer high-stakes political intrigue and slow-burn romance, this might feel a bit underdeveloped. What Readers are Saying Kayla St
“I actually really liked this one. It’s a wonderful book to read if you just want a quick easy smut!” Goodreads · 3 years ago What starts as a cold, political arrangement quickly
The conclusion feels a bit rushed, potentially leaving those who want a deeper emotional arc feeling slightly unsatisfied.
At roughly 120 pages, it’s a one-sitting read perfect for a flight or a rainy afternoon.
Some readers felt the story moved too quickly, skipping over character development and world-building to get to the "sizzle".
