Mini Audiobook Review: WHEWWWWWWW I did a marathon of the three novellas in one sitting and it took everything out of me.
I had never read Adriana Herrera before but I knew she was excellent and heard specifically that this series was spicy. The rumors are most certainly true. This was probably the spiciest collection of work that I have read. So I might as well go out with a bang!
I am going to combine reviews for all 3 novellas into one:
Her Night With Santa
Sapphic, Santa's daughter
This is a sapphic romance and the shortest of the 3 novellas. Within the short amount of pages/minutes, you get a the scope of story and still had me gagging (no pun intended).
There really isn't much plot within these books and things move rather quickly.
The Toy King
Brother's arranged woman, fated mates
I think this was my favorite of the 3 and the first one I listened to. The male narrator's (Gomez Pugh) voice was so sexy that it really made the story for me. I just enjoyed the chemistry between Valente & Kessina. It felt real while of course being super spicy.
Run Darling
Age gap, brother's best friend, long time pining
My jaw was on the floor majority of this book. I just couldn't believe what I was hearing.
Whenever I thought it couldn't get more filthy, Herrera proved me wrong! This does include knotting so if that is something you are into, you'll enjoy this!
If you are looking for very spicy novellas that give you a little of everything plus LOTS OF TOY ACTION! Check these out!

That was so fuckin steamy 😶🌫️
It always boggles my mind when I find this type of erotica so hot but recoil at the thought of it happening in real life. V sexy on the page… whew! 🫠

Oh so THAT'S why it's called The Toy King 🤓
Do I fully understand the lore? Nope. But I don't think that's the point here. Just a smutty good time for all and to all a good night.

Proof I need to read more from Adriana Herrera?? Definitely.
This novella is steamy as HELL. Bearded Viking buff POC hero with a man bun (I’m picturing the incomparable Jason Momoa) and a sex positive curvy POC heroine.
The pacing and plot is great (though as Natalie’s review points out the world isn’t exactly super clear… what is his actual job? How does he do it? How do the sky camels work? How many sex partners has he entertained in it that a self cleaning sex toy station was a necessity?).
I was more than willing to overlook any questions I had because… holy hotness. Holy devoted Viking Toy Runner. Gimme more.
