Nectar of the Wicked is a salacious and at times indecent, but it's also highly compelling as well as very emotional. I admit I teared up at the end. I read this book, and within the first few chapters, I expected a tawdry, trashy novel, and at times it is, but it's so much more than that.

 

Flea enters in a marriage contract with the enigmatic Florian. He's dark, brooding, violent, and somehow very sexy.  Florian whisks her away to a majestic estate with nothing but ulterior motives. Amidst high sexual tension flea searches for her family and her place in the world of the fae.

 

The Spice level is off the charts. This is not for the prudish. It's hot but I am on antidepressants which kills your sex drive so the very long two-chapter marathon sex scene doesn't do much for me but if spice is your jam you will be very happy.

 

Flea is beautiful, kind, naive, and endearing. I really felt for her throughout her journey and I straight up was on the brink of crying towards the end of the book. She goes through some truly harrowing things that will really make you emotional.

 

It's at times downright improper but the book is also very well written with plenty of intrigue, politics, and mystery to keep you there for more than just the sexual content. Again, that stuff doesn't do anything for me on my cocktail of antidepressants but I still enjoyed it.
