Please welcome in to the podcast my dear friend and fellow smutty-book-witch, Nicole Middleton ... We decided our chaotic WhatsApp messages to each other screaming about the books we were both reading should really be recorded… and now we're here gracing you all with our obsession for indie romance… you're welcome 😉 ***OUR RECOMMENDED SPICY READ THIS WEEK*** THE NEVER KING by Nikki St Crowe This is book number one in the Vicious Lost Boys series - there are 4 books in the (now complete!) series and with each being very short reads, highly recommend treating them as if you're reading one book and just roll on from one to the next... trust me you won't be able to put these down! What to expect: - A dark romance Peter Pan retelling (all characters are aged up and this is DARK)  - Why Choose (aka ... she gets all 4 🍆) - "Don't touch the Darling" - Villainous/Morally Grey MMCs galore - Fae Princes and Lost Boys - Dub Con - Hotttt kitchen times - Fighting with pirates - Searching for Pan's shadow BOOK BLURB 👇🏼 The stories were all wrong — Hook was never the villain. For two centuries, all of the Darling women have disappeared on their 18th birthday. Sometimes they're gone for only a day, some a week or a month. But they always return broken. Now, on the afternoon of my 18th birthday, my mother is running around the house making sure all the windows are barred and the doors locked. But it's pointless. Because when night falls, he comes for me. And this time, the Never King and the Lost Boys aren't willing to let me go. NOTE: The Never King is a reimagining of Peter and Wendy. Characters have been aged up for this darker, grittier version. If you like your enemies to lovers romance with hot, ruthless, morally gray love interests, you'll enjoy The Never King and the Lost Boys. You can expect hate kissing, fighting, bickering, and 'touch her and I'll unalive you' vibes. Book one ends on a cliff. ***** Find Nikki St Crowe online: https://www.nikkistcrowe.com/ Grab your copy here: https://a.co/d/b2dgPUQ Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/59918505-the-never-king ***TWs: As with any book we recommend on the Podcast, please make sure to check any content warnings beforehand - books we recommend on the show are Indies Romances with lots of explicit s-x, featuring MMC unalivers you'll grow to love, and in many cases there will be dark elements explored such as dubious consent, power dynamics, k!nk exploration and more.
