Nights of Silk and Sapphire

De: Amber Jacobs

Narrado por: Anastasia Watley

Abducted from a land of wealth and privilege, Dae is chained to a slaver's caravan crossing the vast Jaharri desert. It is a strange world of blistering sun, rolling dunes, and wind-carved plains, ruled by the Scion Zafirah Al'Intisar, a powerful and mysterious woman with seductive eyes of sapphire blue.

When Zafirah liberates the caravan the rescue Dae prayed for is not as it seems; Zafirah's carnal appetite is legendary. Dae is taken into Zafirah's harem, a decadent world of excess and sexual freedom. At first, Dae struggles with desires she has never before experienced, but as love and lust collide these two women slowly forge a bond as one learns to listen to her heart, and the other to the call of her awakening body.

Contains mature themes.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

The well written scenes make you feel as though you are there.. very well done!!! Recommend 10/10 Hoping there are more of these!

Great book!

Definitely not your usual plot, loved all the women, More than worth the credit. The only thing I didn't like was what Dae and Anaya did when her Scion was risking her life in battle. It made me really really really upset especially when Dae was the one to suggest their pact and how long she's made her wait, I had to fwd through it! Luckily that was only a couple minutes of the book, but it took some time for me toget past it. The rest of the book was amazing!

Worth it

Great story, the 13 hours really do fly by. Only critic would be that after waiting 12 and a half hours for the HEA, I wish it had been more carnal lol

I liked it but…

I didn’t like the weirdness of being a “pure virgin” and being young. It feel predatory but if I ignored all of that the book was really good

The title might as well be "Pleasure: The Pleasurableness of Pleasure."

To be honest, I enjoyed probably 99% of the book. If was an interesting story, and the narration was delightful. However, about halfway into it, you begin to realize that the author was in desperate need of a thesaurus. Words like "pleasure", "core", and "center" are used and reused at nauseum. "Pleasure" is the ultimate offender of this.

Hopefully, the author has corrected this in her more recent works. If you can deal with the repetition of terms, this book is a rather steamy lesbian tale.

Sapphic Harem

Oh to be part of a Sapphic Harem. Still my heart. Dae comes from the East, and was brought up with a strick life, chasity, arranged marriage and that homemosexuality is wrong. She is rescued from the slave traiders that abducted her. IMO and I'm sure hers in the months to come, that being rescued by the Scion Zafirah and learning sexual freedom , plus both falling in love was the best thing to happen to her. Plus, it is an open relationship with being able to also have the other harem women together or separate.

PERFECT NARRATION

the book is interesting and a lot of sex sex sex but in my opinion in a book so much sex become boring, then everything gos down when the untouched girl looks like the more experient of all, the part I really dislike is when she promise that she will wait the lover then she let herself gos with somebody else, I only finished the book because I love the Anastasia voice.

Perfect.

Loved it. Both story and narrator are amazing, love the characters, and I was completely swept up. Very distracting when you're supposed to do other boring stuff. ;)
This is the absolute perfect mix of erotica and "regular" novel, with both hot, sexy scenes, and an actual story and character development.
I hope they do a sequel where they explore BDSM further, the right way (which is to say, pretty much the opposite of FSoG). It was made clear that many of the characters are into it and actually practice it in a healthy way, and I would just love to see more of that.

As someone hard to please ... I'm PLEASED

I'll preface this by saying all female herem has always been a fantasy of mine. Happy to see it's a shared one. Well written and brought to life wonderfully by the narrator; this story has many times left me.... excited.
Love how the story isn't only sex. The breaks from the sexual scenes and descriptions only built up anticipation for future ones and built up the world around it.

Spicy and cerebral

Beautifully written and read. First book of this type I have listened to. Dialogue of characters is poetic and creative. I enjoyed this listen and the narration very much.
