Frost: A fae romance (Frost and Nectar Book 1)
£0.90
On the worst birthday of my life, I come home to find my boyfriend in bed with another woman. Within hours, I’m drunk, homeless, and pledging to stay single forever. And that is when the dangerously sexy Seelie King rolls through town, looking for fae like me.
Every generation, the king holds a competition for Seelie queen. But for reasons he won’t explain, Torin is looking for a charade, not a real marriage. So when I drunkenly sling insults his way, I have his attention.
When Torin offers me fifty million to participate, I think, “What have I got to lose?” The answer turns out to be “my life,” because my competition will literally kill for the crown.
And the more time I spend with the seductive king, the harder it becomes to remember it’s all supposed to be fake. Now, my life—and my heart—are on the line.

I have found some of this author’s series to be but and miss. Some very good but some boarding on chikdish. This however is not a bad read. I like Ava, she’s down on her luck but deep down still has a fighting spirit. There is some humour but also it can be a bit blood thisty, as fae can be. The plot is not bad and we know with Eva being an outcast and left in the human world there will be more than meets the eye with her and it’s just when will that come out. Not sure whatvor why Shalie is in the story she hasn’t added much to the plot. I will by the 2nd as I’m intrigued and want to know what happens next.
Ps thanks for the art work????

I really enjoyed this, the plot was really good, and I really enjoyed the trials and the story of what’s happening to Faerie. Ava and Torin are really good together, your typical you love to watch them hate each other trope and the banter between them was really fun to read. There’s angst and a bit of groping but nothing too smutty, and I liked that ending. I’m excited to see what happens now in book two with that ending

An Explosive Read.????????
Frost: Frost And Nectar, Book 1
Ava is a Fae that’s grown up in the human realm, after being abandoned at about 6 months old. It’s her 26th birthday and she’s got off work early, so grabs a take away and heads home to her long time boyfriend, Andrew. She’s funded his education and mortgage with 3 jobs, but he’s going to invest in her dream, owning a bar ‘Chloe’s’ after her late adopted Mum. Life is good.????
Until it isn’t, and now she’s betrayed, homeless, heartbroken and very drunk!????
King of the Seelie Fae, Torin, needs to find a Queen to sit on her throne. The magic is waning in Faerie without a Queen to replenish it. He can not marry for love though, as his family is cursed. To love is to kill.???? He stops in the human realm for a whiskey, and is accosted by an earth dwelling Fae. She’s a complete mess, drunk, covered in food, she smells foul and looks disgusting. She proceeds to call him pretty but then insults him, his people, and his realm, before telling him his tournament to find his Queen is barbaric and love is a lie and something she’ll never fall for ever again! He should kill her, but too many people are watching.???? He storms away, back to Faerie.
This story isn’t even remotely like any I’ve read before about the Fae.
The tension and suspense are tangible, throughout. The world building is enchanting, I could picture every part with a clarity that took my breath away! But the cruelty of the Seelie Fae, who are supposed to be the kinder race of Fae, is truly frightening!???? This is beautifully written.
There are so many questions left swirling in my head, I don’t know how I’ll cope waiting for book 2!???? By the way, the giant hook at the end, it wasn’t that unexpected to me, but how the author’s brought it to light, now ‘that’ was flawless writing – bravo.????????

This book definitely exceeded my expectations. When I first picked it up and read the short summary I wasn’t sure how well I would get on with it. Turns out I couldn’t be more wrong.
Frost is the first instalment of the Frost and Nectar series and let me say that you are in for a treat.
This book pretty much had some of my all time favourite tropes.
~ Enemies to lovers
~ Marriage of convenience
~Forced Proximity
~Sexual tension
~Rewarding slow burn
Also this whole The Bachelor meets The Hunger Games was a plot I never knew I needed!
Ava what a FMC, I really liked her POV and her character arc has been very enjoyable and I am excited to see what the next sequence will bring for her development.
Torin though, oh he stole the show.. He pretty much had my heart throughout the entire book. He absolutely deserves the world.
I would also like to give a huge shout out to Shalini. She was quite literally the epitome of best friends. And don’t think for one second I didn’t notice that connection between her and Aeron. Torin’s well trusted guard!!
The world building was done nicely and the author definitely leaves room for development in the continuation.
Frost is a fast-paced, quick and easy, steamy read and I am already so attached to the characters and this plot. I am so excited to see where this story is going especially with those final few plot twists that was revealed towards the end!!
Great start to what I can already tell is going to be an addicting series.

Think of the reality tv show The Bachelor, that is what this book is about. The king of fae needs to choose a new bride to stop a kind of curse and due to personal issues he wants someone that he can’t love, so he can keep her at arms length. However, all the candidates have to go through a tournament that is a mixture of hunger games and the bachelor, and it is all televised. He has to put on a show for his humans allies, but not everything goes according to plan.
Ava is a fae that was raised as human, in the human world. She suffers a major blow to her life on the day she meets the king and gives a terrible first impression. He thinks she is perfect candidate as he couldn’t possibly, ever love her.
He helps her train for all the physical tests and Things become complicated, the tension is real. They never actually do anything much but we know what they want to do with each other, so low spice , but good tension.

I’ve been reading this book during my holiday and I was just waiting for some time off to get back to it. Each time I had to pause I was just wondering what it could happen next.
Really appreciate it.
Torin is really interesting, I’m completely intrigued by.
