Why Naz Adam is the Ultimate Indie Anti-Heroine: "Sweet Torture" Book Review

Art, power, and a high-stakes flip on submission. 🎨 Caz Luan’s Sweet Torture is a spicy indie ride where the CEO meets his match. #DarkRomance #IndieReads #PowerGames

In Sweet Torture, Naz Adam is an artist whose most provocative work happens behind closed doors, proving that some games are far more dangerous than anything found in a gallery.

This is the kind of indie find that keeps you turning pages way past your bedtime because it flips the "billionaire CEO" trope right on its head. Usually, in the romance world, we see the suits calling all the shots, but Naz is a force of nature who demands absolute submission to her "pleasurable whims." It’s a refreshing, high-handed dynamic that makes the chemistry between her and Griffin Maxwell feel like a high-voltage wire.

I love how Caz Luan pits two people who have essentially "sworn off" traditional connection against each other. Griffin thinks he’s seen it all with "gold diggers," only to run into an artist who doesn't want his money—she wants his compliance. The tension between his world of world-class smuggling and her world of illicit adventures creates this delicious friction. It’s a messy, intense exploration of what happens when two people who are used to being in control finally find someone worth losing it for. If you’re into dark romance that isn't afraid to play with power dynamics and "torturous" pleasure, this is your next obsession.

Rating: 4/5 Lofts 🪵 Why: The power-flip is brilliantly executed, and the chemistry is electric. It’s a bold start to the Torture Games series that leaves you wanting to see just how far Naz will push Griffin.

A mesmerizing historical epic that masterfully weaves truth with lies through an unreliable narrator whose ambition knows no bounds.

In Yaw Agawu-Kakraba's spellbinding historical novel "The Restless Crucible," the answer depends entirely on who's telling the story. From the moment we meet Pedro de Barbosa—self-described ex-slave, con artist, slave trader, warmonger, and lover—we're pulled into a narrative that brilliantly challenges our understanding of truth itself. What begins as Pedro's memoir quickly reveals itself as something far more complex and fascinating.
