This has become tied for my favorite in the Never After series (tied with Hooked and Crossed). I loved Julian, the forced marriage trope, the sassiness of Yazmin, and the subtle nudges to Aladdin.

Honestly wasn't my favorite romance book. I'm a big Disney fan and romance reader and I really thought the two would make a good combination. Normally I'm a fan of the dark, bad guy who is only a good guy for his girl, but J didn't do that for me. Maybe it was the age gap part of things or the fact that I felt like Y didn't really love him so much as she liked rough sex... It was empty carbs, if that makes sense.

It’s not the best in the Never After universe, but it beat Wretched by far. 

The story is smooth as it grows, the characters become well rounded and the ending is oh SO satisfying. 

I’m all for a classic age-gap, enemies to lovers romance with spicy scenes that will make even the most sexually liberal of us blush.
