Only Her is a sapphic, royalty, forbidden romance that is a short and very spicy read. It takes place in it's own world with plenty of plot for such a quick novella. I love the absolute steely resolve Seraphina has, and I love how she doesn't let traditional norms stop her!

Only Her (Mated Queens Book 1)


The story begins with an electrifying scene featuring the two captivating protagonists. The Author skillfully aims to leave us breathless with this explosive introduction. Princess Daniela, a stunning beauty, is immersed in a world of pure bliss alongside Seraphina.

Welcome to the enchanting realm of Kusovania, where magic reigns supreme. Despite her longing to marry for love, Daniela finds herself shackled by the weighty expectations placed upon her by her family and her father's wishes.

Seraphina embodies everything Daniela yearns for their love fills her days and nights with joy and contentment. However,Daniela is bound by her own responsibilities to her family and the illustrious Royal crown. While society expects her to settle down and pursue marriage as she grows older, Seraphina remains steadfastly devoted to her love for Daniela, showing no interest in other suitors at the grand gala.

Daniela's father seizes the opportunity to impart valuable lessons to both protagonists. He recognizes that destiny has intertwined their fates, but he also desires for Seraphina to fully embrace her own worth and understand the immense value she brings to the princess's life. Immersed in this captivating narrative, I found myself thoroughly engrossed in the story and eagerly anticipate the next installment. I wholeheartedly recommend it, and it is conveniently available on Kindle Unlimited.

This was such a sweet story.

Daniela and Seraphina have a beautifully sweet relationship built on mutual respect and a deep understanding of one another. Each of them strives to support the other without being overbearing or getting in the way.

Fi is fierce and demanding of respect without being obnoxious or unpleasant. She's determined to do what she believes is best for Daniela even if she must hurt to do so and the way this is conveyed is beautifully written.

Daniela is soft but shes no pushover. She is in her own fashion just as fierce and determined. The guilt she feels for asking Fi for time spent together is palpable.

The spice is moderate, nothing scorching but what it lacks in heat it more than makes up for in the soft sweet expressions of love and adoration they hold for one another. The devotion is without question.

I love that this is a sapphic romance that in no way centers men and the men portrayed (minus 2 who are breif in appearance) are kind and gentle people who are positive influences on the people arpund them.

While I knew they were going to get their HEA, I still shed a few happy tears once it happened.

I'm so happy i was able to ARC read this Book. It's such a page turner, i was constantly drawn into the story and couldn't wait to see what would happen next. This is such a cute but spicy novella, that will have you on the edge of your seat. You will find Characters that just make you fall in love with them, of course there will be Characters that will make you dislike them with their behaviour.

Seraphian is a royal Seamstress who fell in love with the soon to be Queen, Daniela. After hiding their relationship for so long, Seraphina is given the opportunity to try and win the hand of Daniela. The only problem is she isn't the only one who wants to win the princess's hand.
Princess Daniela met Seraphina unexpectedly when trying to have some freedom from the royal life. Their relationship grows from there. Daniela will convince Seraphina anyway she can to be herself and compete against the others for her hand.
Can Seraphina win the soon to be Queens hand or will she have to let her go?

4.5⭐ 4🌶️
Only Her is the first sapphic story I read. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I have to say I loved it. It is such a sweet love story, that starts off with a BANG from the very first sentence. It contains a perfect balance of plot and heat for a short read. It drew me in from the opening, and it kept my attention through the last word. Definitely recommend!

This is the story of Princess Daniela and her seamstress Seraphina’s epic, forbidden love. When the King of Kusovania throws a gala to pick a suitor for his daughter, Seraphina will do everything in her power to win. Princess Daniela wants no one but Seraphina, but never has a royal chosen a noble as a mate before. Will Seraphina win Princess Diana’s hand, even when competing with other royals?

Tropes:
-Sapphic romance
-Royalty
-Forbidden love
-Romantasy
-Novelette

A mix of Victorian area and new age bring you to the kingdom of Kusovanain for the yearly gala. On this night, we follow the story of Seraphina (Fi) and Princess Daniela and their forbidden relationship. All may come to an end as the gala is meant as the King's of finding the best suitor for the princess. Princess Daniela wants to choose Fi, but it's unheard of for nobles and royals to marry. Will their relationship survivor the trail set in place by the King, or will Queen Helvania and one of the other suitors win the hand of Daniela.

This was a great read that is on the shorter side full of plot and spice. As one of my first ff reads, it was hit. I enjoyed the whole story filled with a little of everything.

Such a sweet Sapphic novella, I devoured this story.

Daniela & Seraphine's love story captivated my attention from page 1, it was such an easy & quick read. If you're seeking for a sweet FF romance this is it!

Great story, plot and lovable characters. I enjoyed reading a royalty romance that encouraged any type of sexual partnership, and an heterosexual couple being far from a priority.

⭐ 5/5 🌶️ 3/5

Daniela is to be wed intime for her upcoming coronation. The king decides to have a competition between seven prospective mates to determine who shall have his daughters hand in marriage. However, Princess Daniela's heart already belongs to Seraphina, a seamstress.

Seraphina and Daniela desperately wish to stay together, but now they must make the most of their last night... unless Daniela can find a way to convince the king to accept Seraphina as her wife.

Wow. This opens with one of the spiciest scenes I've read, and it sets the tone for the book. There are six erotic scenes between the couple, each adding to the romance and connection between the lovers.

If you love forbidden love and royalcore, you're going to love this story.

Thanks to the author for the ARC!

4 stars. I’m not usually into royalty romances but this one was pretty damn good. I liked the writing style, the plot was intriguing, the main characters were likable and the romance was so good and sexy. Daniela is a Princess and Seraphina is her seamstress and they have been secretly messing around. I loved them together, their chemistry was definitely there and the smut was hot. I loved the way this ended and how these two were able to get their HEA. This is short but the story feels full and everything is well developed. I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end.

[Chaos · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story is incredibly sweet. Daniela and Seraphina have such a beautiful relationship built on trust, communication, and friendship. I love them together. While the story is super short and not much of a plot, I liked the lessons thrown in by King Emyr. And I love how he cares about his daughter and the kingdom. Seraphina is exactly who Daniela needs, but also the country. Daniela needed someone who would support her and not overshadow her or control her. Seraphina is exactly that. I also love how accepting the country is about FF relationships ❤️

[Abigail Hunter · Rating 5 out of 5]

Only her is a sweet novella about two women who fight for their love. Their secret relationship goes through an upheaval when Daniela, the crown princess, is forced to choose a partner who will rule with her. As a seamstress, Serephina should have no chance at her hand, but there are challenges each potential suitor must pass, and Serephina vows to do whatever she can to complete them.

It's has some amazing reveals and it's been great seeing how their relationship grows from how strongly they want to be together :)

"A mature standalone Sapphic romantasy novelette with a heavy dose of spice."

Only Her had me in its hooks from the very first page. It had all the requirements of a romance book for me: the sweet private moments between the two main characters, something pressing to tear them apart, ultra spicy scenes, and, of course, a wonderful happy ending. This was my very first Sapphic read, and I absolutely loved every bit of it. Only Her is a beautifully written book, and I highly recommend it.

Thank you to the author for the ARC!

[Megan Parks · Rating 4 out of 5]

Started off a bit slow but by the 15% mark I was hooked. This left me wanting more to know more. This story is about love and kindness overcoming all else. It follows a princess turning into a Queen and finding her mate through a series a questions posed by the King- her father. This was an emotional journey which left me rooting for a certain underdog. Who won the princesses hand and the title of queen? You’ll just have to read this to find out. I recommend this book to anyone who loves intense romance with a hint of spice :)

Only Her was so good!

Only Her, Book 1 of Mated Queens Series, by N. Slater @slater.47. First off, I am a fan of Nic’s & this book was no different!

This is the first FF book I have read by Nic, & I thoroughly enjoyed it! If you like FF, spicy, fantasy & contemporary this is for you!

[CissasBookEnds · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is simply precious. It is filled with Seraphina’s endless though human hope that she will win her love’s hand and become her mate. I loved how Seraphina and Daniela interacted with each other as well as how the story unfolded. The spicy bits were great and enjoyable to read as well.

I can’t wait to read more by this amazing author!

[Akemat Flowers · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this novella. However this is the first FF book I've read and absolutely loved this story. From the first page to the last had me not putting my phone down. The story line was great, that it made me wish it was a longer story. I definitely would recommend to read.

[Alexandria Skove · Rating 5 out of 5]

Was given this as an arc and oh my god 😍 was not disappointed. Such a great ff romance and starts off hot right off the bat 🥵 a good mix of modern and old world. Absolutely loved seraphina and her personality

[Simoné Wolmarans · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quick romance read but packed a punch.

I loved the story of true love prevailing no matter what the obstacles. I enjoyed that the love story had two women and wasn’t necessarily the same norm we read everyday.

It was a nice little change!

A Fun Novella

This was a fun story, great to read as something short. Ideally, it would have been longer and had more character development but as a novella it works well.

Lessons

I love it when smut comes thru with the life lessons also!

It's a quick read work just enough charm, humor, smut and the bonus lessons.

[Casiddie Williams · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a beautifully written snack of a love story!

This novelette packs a huge punch. You can feel the love between the FMCs. My heart was pounding wondering what would happen next.

Seraphina and Daniela have the sweetest, most passionate relationship.

I have no idea how Slater managed to write such a compelling story with so few words but I ate it up!

Sapphic. A little bit of drama and suspense and a lot of love and understanding.

First time reading this author, I have many of their works on my TBR and it was a nice surprise. I really liked the premise, and it was quick reading and I enjoyed the couple's d/s dynamic.
