Created by one of the Kyleverse’s favorite meddlers, Garrett, it’s home to some objects you’ve met before and some you’ll love to meet.

This Treasure Trove story features a lot of Kyle and some ridiculously fun sex. Little splash of Kyle being a great friend, and Keggy doing Keggy things.

[Queerbookdad · Rating 5 out of 5]

I feel like I should know by now that Nicole Parker can somehow always one up her stories because this one did just that. I think this was a really fun and wild ride. Love the keggy cameo as per usual and can wait to see what’s happening next at treasure trove, my favourite club sex or otherwise)

ARC review

Thanks so much to the author for the eARC.

I absolutely love visiting The Treasure Trove (and all entries in the KyleVerse). It’s always a fun time, full of humor and spice and absolutely ridiculously well thought sentient objects that are horny for each other and for humans.

This one starts off with a bang. And then the bangs just keep coming. Garrett has developed a new toy - Boppy. Remember the Slap It toy from the 1980’s/90’s? The late 20th century? Sort of a Simon Says with batteries? Well, now he has a mind of his own. He’s bossy, he’s sexy and he’s setting a scene guaranteed to please everyone invited.

When Kyle wins the spicy hula hoop contest to test this new toy, he invites Matt and Lena to join. Matt used to be a giant gift box, but now he’s human. What ensues is a veritable feast of spice and fluids. I loved it.

Oh yeah I knew Nicole could have me mildly attracted to a “Tap That” we know what it actually is but for the sake of discretion we won’t call it by its real name 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️

Treasure trove is such a treat 😅 this is a play club that is within the Kyleverse, you don’t need to read the initial series to understand but it’s still good idea. Honestly just read everything by Nicole if you trust my SOR recs.

I love how this starts with the main characters playing Tap That with the toy but turns into them playing Tap That with the FMC Lena instead 😅
Boppy is such a commanding SO but it’s definitely fitting for what he’s based off of! I also adored getting a little Garret and Kyle action at the end there, they are probably one of my favorite duos! Thank you Nicole for having me on your ARC team and for sending me this mood booster.

Thank you to the author for a copy of this book.

There is truly nothing quite like a trip to the Treasure Trove, and Slap and Tap is peak chaotic Kyleverse energy.

A sentient, bossy definitely not a Bop-It toy running the show? Of course. Garrett meddling as usual? Naturally. Kyle in the middle of absolute ridiculous, over-the-top spice? Would it even be a Treasure Trove book without the blond man??

As usual, this book wastes zero time. It’s playful, kinky, and leans fully into the absurd in the best way. Boppy being commanding and rule-obsessed, and watching the group dynamic unfold is half the fun. It’s less about romance and more about pure, uninhibited pleasure—and it absolutely delivers on that promise.

If you’re in the mood for something weird, wildly creative, and unapologetically spicy, this hits the spot.

Welp once again another childhood toy has fallen victim to Author Nicole Parker.
And once again I ain’t mad about it.
Listen I would love to live in this author’s brain for one day!
The way she flawlessly entwines all of these characters and still keeps the intensity of their individual relationships.
The way she manages to always have me questioning why is this so hot?!
It’s insane how attached I am to these characters and our ride or die bestie Kyle!
And how she manages to always leave enough bread crumbs to keep us guessing and edging us just enough to want more of this crazy little adult toy club!
I cannot wait to see what she comes up with next!

[Jordan · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was nice to see Matt finally let go for a bit and have some fun without overthinking it! I can certainly empathise with his need to overthink and be in control of things in his life, but it was good to see him loosen up. And Lena having the time of her life!

The Tap That took a bit of imagining on my part as I don't remember ever having one as a kid, but it certainly made for some interesting images once I got it 😂😂 Boppy will definitely be a popular guest at future gatherings, I think.

I do wonder what Bex is up to though. And to see Zoe! There's a lot of exciting things happening at the Treasure Trove!

[Cheryl · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nicole gives us readers no chance to slowly settle into the story before she hits us with se%y fun time. I will not look at my childhood toys the same way again after this book. This one features the toy, Bop It. Only the Bop It has come alive and it goes by the name of Boppy.

Kyle wins a hula hoop contest. As the winner, he gets to test out the new toy. He invites Matt and Lena to join him. Let's just say what happens next is a lot of body parts intertwining.

While I liked everyone and it is a good time when Kyle is involved; for me I really liked Boppy. He is so bossy and provides fun times. This sentient story is a fun one.

SLAP AND TAP 🫡
Treasure Trove Book 2
@nicoleparkerbooks

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Slap and Tap is everything I expected from a ‘Bop It’ adjacent sentient romance novel 😂
Everyone wins when they play Tap That! If I’m being completely honest I think Lena really took the crown this round though - and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little jealous 😮‍💨

Available 2/20 but you can pre order direct!
If you haven’t already, try out All Bricked Up which is book one of this series. They can be read together or standalone!

Happy reading! 🫘

A spanking hot time. Revolving around testing out a new sentient toy and the fun the Kyle gets up to with it! Featuring an established couple from Wrapped, having a load of fun with a bop-it.

Yes if: Being told what to do sounds fun

No if: Punishment via orgasm is too much

🖐️ Bop-it
🪓 Established couple
🖐️ Sentient toy sex club
🪓 Kyle's a brat
🖐️ Hula hoop contest
🪓 Punishment

[Nootka Lenoir · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another amazing hit from Nicole!!!
She just never misses.
I had tremendous screams of joy and laughter but also how does she write the hotest scenes with al these dirty toys who have a bad mouth as well?

Also our boy Kyle? He was ON TOP in this one we LOVED we ADORED.
And seeing Lena and Matt back in the sheets was amazing one of my favourite couples in this universe!

This was another fun and hot trip to the Treasure Trove and this one started off with a bang. Boppy, the new toy that Garrett has developed is quite the bossy sentient object ;P Expect to get caught up in the humour, heat and ridiculousness that is sentient objects horny for each other and also for people. I loved it and can't wait for the next ;D

[Ryley Hollenzer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Who’s ready for the next Treasure Trove story?!
Garrett’s latest toy creates a hot game of tugging, cranking and spanking. Introducing Boppy, the Tap That who’s ready to give you that exciting multiplayer experience.
And as always, I can’t wait to see what Garrett comes up with next!

[Robyn G · Rating 4 out of 5]

Just when you need a quick, weird but easy read NP always has you covered!
We see Kyle obvs, some Sentient object fun, various couples and couplings and just a general good time.
Boppy loved being passed around and everyone all had their fun!
Take a trip to treasure trove!

[Brianne · Rating 5 out of 5]

When you read a Kyleverse or Treasure Trove book by Parker, you may find yourself wondering how things will work. All I can say is trust Parker.

This was so much fun and the spice is abundant. Kyle is seriously the best!

I highly recommend this book and series!

[Tiffany · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a much shorter work than is normally expected in the Kyle universe HOWEVER it was fun. It was just fun. It was the pure pleasure of ridiculousness that follows Kyle around like a lost puppy and I’m very glad it exists.

[Taylor Dawicke · Rating 5 out of 5]

A hilarious, kinky sentient Bop-It story! Is anybody truly a loser if the punishment is nonstop orgasms?!

[Caitlin · Rating 5 out of 5]

A sexy Bop-It?! Say less. He's also a little dominant which is pretty hot. Loved this fun story

[christy - pr0bablyreadingsmut · Rating 5 out of 5]

bop it but like really horny

[Lanae (findmeonsmutlane) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Extremely horny and I will never look at a bop it the same again.

Also, oh to be Kyle for a day. I'm telling you. The man is LIVING HIS BEST LIFE.
