This book is pure smut. It's why we picked it up. I do like this one more than Neon Gods, however, I am getting a little tired of the mafia boss thing. I've seen enough of it. I did not like the relationship between Jafar and Jasmine, It seemed kind of forced, and there wasn't a lot of chemistry between them. They also used a lot of 'daddy' and 'baby girl' talk, which I am not a huge fan of. However, CNC was a strong kink in this one, which I very much appreciated. The ending seemed a little rushed and the background characters were underdeveloped, but who cares? We aren't reading this for the plot.
