Trick: Foolish Kingdoms, Book 1

Trick Returns in 3D!

"Trick: Book 1: Dark Seasons - Natalia Jaster Trick was a book I loved when I first discovered Natalia Jaster’s books and her amazing talent. The book was fantastic then and I fell in love with Poet, Briar and Nicu and the mesmerizing world they lived in (although the “born fools” policies made me cringe). Since then the author has advanced her writing style to where it is almost poetic, capturing the imagination and souls of her readers. The author is also so talented that she has made an art of weaving the heavy spice and seggie sensual teasing burning scenes so that they become integral parts of the storylines. Poet is the “court Jester” for the Spring court which is known for its debauchery, little code as far as public displays of “affection” and more. Poet is more than a Jester he is a talented acrobat, his amazing ability to weave tantalizing tales and woo the court haw become well known throughout the kingdom, and the King and Queen look to him for his advice as well. He is not only the “darling” of the Spring court but also famous for his sexual conquests both male and female. When he leaves his signature red ribbon on the bed of a visiting princess it is a sign that she is his next victim. The visiting princess, Briar, is of the autumn court. This court is much more reserved,serious, less prone to “wicked dalliances” and dress much more conservatively. The princess is captured by this Jester is as determined as she is t shut him out she just delves deeper into his world. Briar is serious, not afraid to voice her opinion or behave as the “stuck up” conservative princess she is. Poet can’t help but view Briar as a challenge until he is forced to look deeper. The slow burn is almost as hot as the full physical coming together. As they both discover there is so much more to each of them they develop a heart melting love that is unfortunately forbidden. Be prepared to have your heart tugged in so many directions and to swoon out loud! This revised version is like a 3D version of the original Trick, don’t miss this awesome hypnotizing fantastical well written book! ["

Trick

"This was a super good read! BOTH FMC and MMC are complex, where neither is only what they seem at first. Neither are fully known by the people in their lives. I liked that the MMC isn’t your traditional character. He is an interesting twist on your typical bookish “broody / traditionally masculine” man, while still giving broody and masculine. He wears nailpolish, he uses eyeliner, he is bisexual. Still hot, just done in a really interesting and unique way. I recommend this book if you’re looking for something a little different from the MMC, along with an emotional and engaging story. ["

Oh sooo good!

"Where to start .. This book is oh sooo good. There is so much to like about this book it is hard to pinpoint just one thing. This book will have you laughing, blushing, and a few tears. This is the first book of Natalia's that I have ever read and boom... insta fan. Her world building is awesome. The banter between Poet and Briar is awesome, and I loved every minute of it. You fall in love with the characters so easily. Their back stories and growth through this book is well written and keeps you wanting more. What I love even more about this book is the POV from both Poet and Briar throughout the book. This made me a big fan as well. As for the book itself, it has everything you'll want and need. You have banter, spice(smut), drama, lovers, friendship, loyalty, and shockers. When Poet says his words are weapons, he is not jesting. "I'm the finest jest you'll ever know. If you irritate me, I'll strike you down with words, for swords are the toys of knights, whilst I use more penetrating weapons." Read this book. You won't regret it! You will fall inlove with Natalia's writing and the characters in this series. ["

Perfect for gothic romance readers

"Come for the lyrical writing, gothic setting and political intrigue but stay for the jester who will do anything for his son and a princess who proves to them that they are worth choosing. What really stood out to me is that Natalia Jaster’s writing in Trick is incredible. There’s a complete writing style and character change when you switch POVs and I love how much that added to the story. The world building is whimsical and described so visually that you can see everything that’s happening while you read. Here are a few of my favorite things… - I love the lyrical notes to everything Poet says - the teasing and banter but make it poetry - anything Nicu does - the in depth plot that went beyond the romance I think this would be a great addition to your fall TBR with the balls, enemies to lovers, political intrigue and “I would do anything for you” FMC. Would I recommend? Yes! ["

Brilliant. Beautiful. A sinfully divine, moving tale.

"This book hit me in all the feels -- the devotion, the conflict, the teasingly slow, achingly delightful slow burn, and two MCs that I absolutely adore. Natalia Jaster has perfected this tale of challenge, of defiance and love that can change the world, and a message of equality that rings as powerful even after devouring the first edition of this beautiful story. Briar and Poet's blossoming romance and their growth in opening up their secrets, engaging in their clandestine affair, and the defiance to love openly and freely and take on the entire world had me swooning. The build up was sweat-inducing, pulse-racingly wicked and the steam is as hot as sin. All of this packaged with Natalia Jaster's amazingly lyrical prose has me preordering the next book and anxiously waiting for more more more!!! 🔥🙌 ["
