I feel weird giving Katee Robert so many good reviews but everything I've read is just SO ON POINT! 

Jasmine comes alive in this book in a whole new way. I absolutely feel in love with her strong willed character. 

The ending chapters were filled with drama and surprises. The spice was extra spicy. The characters were well rounded and unique versions of characters we've come to know and love.

I do like Katee’s writing and the way she creates these world and characters. Just not a fan of this kink so wasn’t my favourite

There was essentially no plot or story happening in this book - this was basically all smut. The characters were flat, their choices and motivations at times unclear, and the ending, wherein a character makes a choice that shows a complete personality change/shift that had not been developed at all, came out of nowhere. Read it if you want a steamy Disney retelling.

3.0

Sexy reimagining of Aladdin, wherein Jasmine and Jafar have a thing for one another and Aladdin is the “bad guy”. I liked the spice. I liked the story. There were several glaring spelling/grammatical errors and a rush to the wrap up at the end that made me drop the rating slightly.

Dirty twist on a story everyone knows. I like Disney, but this retelling got this girl to LOVE Disney. 

Katee Roberts knows how to write smut. All I wish was that this book was a little longer and we would get a bit more story and background to these characters. Still, 5/5 book with spicy scenes that made for the fans of age gaps and forbidden romances.

Excited to read the next one in the series! 🌶️
