Jumia Books Slay Ride: A Slaycation Novel by Lauren Biel

Slay Ride by Lauren Biel is a bold, irreverent, and darkly romantic comedy that blends holiday chaos with emotional grit. As the second installment in the Slaycation series, this novel continues the saga of unconventional love and survival in a twisted winter retreat where nothing is quite as cozy as it seems.

The story follows Bennett, a man nursing disappointment and emotional scars, who’s sworn off romance—until he meets Catarina Novak, a sharp-tongued, unapologetically fierce woman with her own emotional armor. Their chemistry is undeniable, but their mission is urgent: save three friends trapped in the bizarre and dangerous Slaycation Retreat. Between snowstorms, secrets, and sizzling tension, Bennett and Catarina must decide whether love is worth the risk—or if they’re destined to remain emotionally frozen.

Lauren Biel’s writing is fast-paced, witty, and packed with:

Banter that bites and heals

A heroine who redefines strength and vulnerability

A hero learning to thaw his guarded heart

A setting that turns holiday tropes on their head

With its blend of romance, suspense, and dark humor, Slay Ride is perfect for readers who crave unconventional love stories with edge and emotional depth. Kenyan readers looking for bold female leads, genre-bending storytelling, and a break from traditional romance will find this title refreshingly fierce.
