The Nymph's Dark Pleasure

by Sakura Black

A night of partying should have been just what Newbury needed to get over her latest break-up.⁠

She didn't know she needed help until a powerful fae rescues her from a pushy minotaur. She runs from the violence, until the sexy stranger hunts her down and heals her.⁠

Will she take a chance on her dark saviour or flee from him again?⁠



The Nymph’s Dark Pleasure the prequel to the Fae Mate Hunt series (Book 0.5). It’s a short and steamy adult monster romance novella intended for mature audiences only.

Contains swearing, mild violence and steamy scenes with magical fae (because monsters need love too). If you have delicate sensibilities, maybe give this one a hard swerve…

This was a fun short, but incomplete story. Dark was hot and strong. Newbury was more than her fae species are perceived to be. Despite being a nymph, she wanted more than just sexual satisfaction. She was constantly called a whore which cut her deeply
Dark also seems to want others to really see Him and not who they perceive. He does see Newbury as, as he calls her, a treasure.
This was really a 4.5 star book. Since there is no HEA, I deducted .5 star. I am hoping that the author will revisit this story. There is much that can be written.
I hope Hunted by the Minotaur is about Dark's friend Finntyr, the Minotaur king.

A quick read. Not much of a plot. Dark is a hot dragon. Newbury is a nymph. The story is hot and steamy. I wish it were longer because I would have liked more of a plot. I recommend this story to those who want a quick read filled with a lot of steam.

3.5 rounded up. This was a good, quick read and did the job of getting me interested in the rest of the series.

The story tells Newbury's hot night with a dark stranger.
It's party night at London's hottest nightclub "Inferno".
Newbury gets into "distress" here and is saved by a "white knight".

"I`m the only monster here".
"Monsters don`t rescue people".
"They do, if they plan to eat them".

Hm... this night is going to be long...
"Sirens went off my head. This is Newbury to Mission Control.
Brace for multiple orgasms. Alert. Alert."

... And what was planned as a one night stand... could maybe later end in a real date. Unless Drakon Rend (The Shadow Dragon King) vanished "after the idiotic event in Faerie he has to attend".
... That would really be a shame. I liked these two.

Dragon king with a tail 👑 do I need to say anything else?🤫🫢
Okay so it’s a short book which I wish would’ve been longer. It took me around an hour to devour it and I can’t wait to continue the series.
The book is about a Nymph and a Dragon with shadows wings and tail and so much sexy energy 🫢
I loved to read this the build up to their meeting was amazing,consent was amazing to see and the aftermath too.
Amazing character build,easy to read and fun to read. Smutty but also well written I only can recommend if you want a book to get your mind off things and meet with a sexy and hot dragon shifter man 👏🏻

This book was cute & spicy! I can’t wait to find the rest of the series!

Newbury and her friends decided they needed a night out in the human realm in London. Where she has a bit of trouble with a Minotaur.

Dark notices a beautiful nymph having trouble with a Minotaur. But Dark is a Shadow Dragon and no match for a Minotaur. Did I mention this Shadow Dragon also knows how to use his tale?

First time reading a fae story. Honestly, it was pretty good, but average. Granted, it was a very short book so nothing happened, but it was good enough to get me interested in other stories like this one. In fact, I think it would have been nice to get a full book because there was a plot there that could have been build up on.

Side note: it has a couple of typos.

I want more of these characters so bad. Somehow I got to this book before any others in the series and I’m already attached to these two.

A fantastic quick read! And if this moved onto making more or a full long novel id absolutely read it! Spicy dragon shifter meets nymph story!

[Melanie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well.... that was different! Pretty captivating and couldn't put it down the second I started! I think the only weird part about this was how he called her "little girl." I think that Dark was a VERY well written character, from the violet eyes to the wings! Newberry has such a strong will to go back into the playing field after such a heartbreaking and embarrassing end to her last relationship. I really want to know what Dark and Newberry have in store for the future! This left such a cliffhanger that I need to know more!
