It’s literally steamy Disney AU fanfiction。 Though I have to say the ending was somewhat not what I expected， felt a bit out of character， maybe？ And Daddy kink is not what I’m into but overall it was … let’s call it an interesting read 😏 I know I will go through the whole series and if all of them are an easy read like this one it’ll be quite fast。 And the baddie of the story actually being sort of “the good one” is always what I’m in for。 Also， I’m kinda invested now and wanna know what’s with It’s literally steamy Disney AU fanfiction。 Though I have to say the ending was somewhat not what I expected， felt a bit out of character， maybe？ And Daddy kink is not what I’m into but overall it was … let’s call it an interesting read 😏 I know I will go through the whole series and if all of them are an easy read like this one it’ll be quite fast。 And the baddie of the story actually being sort of “the good one” is always what I’m in for。 Also， I’m kinda invested now and wanna know what’s with the stories of Meg， Hades， Hook and others。 。。。more

This book felt a lot like if you took 50 Shades of Grey and spun it with Disney。 It was a quick read。

Not exactly what I'd hoped for or what the blurb let me to expect， and I struggled to orientate myself at the start of the story， but still an enjoyable smutty read with that subversive joy of Disney characters doing dirty/kinky deeds in a grimy contemporary setting。 Not exactly what I'd hoped for or what the blurb let me to expect， and I struggled to orientate myself at the start of the story， but still an enjoyable smutty read with that subversive joy of Disney characters doing dirty/kinky deeds in a grimy contemporary setting。 。。。more

This was my first Katee Robert and it didn’t disappoint！ I love the steamy scenes oh my goodness that was amazing。 I definitely loved the ending and that she didn’t need rescuing。 Definitely looking forward to the next one。

It was a great AU story！ I just feel like the ending was so rushed because the majority of the book was focused on the steamy aspects， which I didn’t mind， I just think the ending shouldn’t have been open and shit in one chapter。

This was my second read by Katee。 I loved the sex scenes in this book but I must say that I wanted more character development and romance。 Also， some parts of the book really dragged。 Overall， it wasn’t bad just not my favorite 。

2。5 stars-if it hadn’t been for the babygirl/daddy name calling this would’ve been a solid 3。

It was a fast read （ only 209 pages） but it felt a bit weird to me to read about jasmine / jafar （ I thought I would enjoy it haha） and it was a little bit repetitive。

Who doesn't love it when the villain ends up being the hero？！ This Jasmine and Jafar story was so fun to read。 I really liked the whole mafia angle。 I do wish that we had some of the Jafar and Jasmine backstory。 Cross hints at 5 years of dialogue and pent up attraction between the two and it would have been really nice to have gotten some of that。 I quite liked Jafar but I feel like Jasmine's character could have used a little bit of work。 Cross paints her as this unlikely submissive with a chee Who doesn't love it when the villain ends up being the hero？！ This Jasmine and Jafar story was so fun to read。 I really liked the whole mafia angle。 I do wish that we had some of the Jafar and Jasmine backstory。 Cross hints at 5 years of dialogue and pent up attraction between the two and it would have been really nice to have gotten some of that。 I quite liked Jafar but I feel like Jasmine's character could have used a little bit of work。 Cross paints her as this unlikely submissive with a cheeky streak， but it's never really developed fully。 All in all it was a fun book and I did buy the second。 。。。more

Wowwwweeeee。 Another booktok recommendation （it is evident to me that I need to get off booktok）。As someone who loves to read about villains， and is very interested in the concept of Disney villains for adults -- I was super intrigued by this series。And it did not ~really~ disappoint。 For what it is， it's good。 However， there wasn't much substance。 I did enjoy it， but I wish there was more of a plot， and that the full plot was a little less cheesy。 I think these books are worth reading if you ar Wowwwweeeee。 Another booktok recommendation （it is evident to me that I need to get off booktok）。As someone who loves to read about villains， and is very interested in the concept of Disney villains for adults -- I was super intrigued by this series。And it did not ~really~ disappoint。 For what it is， it's good。 However， there wasn't much substance。 I did enjoy it， but I wish there was more of a plot， and that the full plot was a little less cheesy。 I think these books are worth reading if you are into SUPER spicy books and want to see how the characters play out， but if you are more into real romance books （even dark） with plot， it'll be okay but not a favorite。 That's my two cents。 。。。more

the idea was good， it's just too rushed imo。 everything was too easy and happened too fast and everything was kinda expected。 this could really have been a great story， especially cause i liked jasmine and jafar， but some more insight into their minds and some more time for them too explore their relationship would have made this so much better。 the way it is now it just seems unrealistic。i also would have appreciated some more explaining concerning the world "carver city" cause i mean this book the idea was good， it's just too rushed imo。 everything was too easy and happened too fast and everything was kinda expected。 this could really have been a great story， especially cause i liked jasmine and jafar， but some more insight into their minds and some more time for them too explore their relationship would have made this so much better。 the way it is now it just seems unrealistic。i also would have appreciated some more explaining concerning the world "carver city" cause i mean this book kinda sets the foundation for the rest in the series， i presume。 nonetheless there were good things too。 for one i liked the writing and secondly the sex scenes are great some more than others but it's definitely fun too read。 all just a little too shallow if you ask me。 could do with some more work。 definitely has potential。 。。。more

I've been waiting to get my hands on this for a long time。 I love Katee Robert and her books have yet to disappoint me。 I， of course， would have loved for this to be longer but who doesn't love a dark， smutty retelling of Disney？ Jasmine is so powerful and Meg and Tink were delights and I look forward to their stories。 Jafar is so hot and I love his willingness to support powerful women。 Consent is there in all the sex scenes and only adds to the heat。 I look wait to read the rest of the series I've been waiting to get my hands on this for a long time。 I love Katee Robert and her books have yet to disappoint me。 I， of course， would have loved for this to be longer but who doesn't love a dark， smutty retelling of Disney？ Jasmine is so powerful and Meg and Tink were delights and I look forward to their stories。 Jafar is so hot and I love his willingness to support powerful women。 Consent is there in all the sex scenes and only adds to the heat。 I look wait to read the rest of the series and hope that Katee Robert will write many more！ 。。。more

This is more like a 2。5，the beginning was really boring for me。

This is a short read， and the story isn’t particularly insightful， but it’s still good and that’s not really why I wanted to try this book！ The spicy scenes are very spicy， and there’s lots of them。 I really enjoyed reading them， and it was a good quick read that gets into the action quickly！

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I am really excited about this series！ I love Disney villains and this whole concept where they become the "heroes"。The best bit is that all these characters interlink， interact and set up the next stories in a modern setting， Hades intrigues me and I look forward to learning more about him as well as Tink。Disney has always made the princesses pretty and placid， this new Jasmine is absolutely awesome。Definitely looking forward to reading more。 I am really excited about this series！ I love Disney villains and this whole concept where they become the "heroes"。The best bit is that all these characters interlink， interact and set up the next stories in a modern setting， Hades intrigues me and I look forward to learning more about him as well as Tink。Disney has always made the princesses pretty and placid， this new Jasmine is absolutely awesome。Definitely looking forward to reading more。 。。。more

This might have been a lot more fun if I had like never read Orientalism or if I didn’t care about clear consent

4/5 - Jafar x Jasmine + kink = XXX Erotic Romance！Wow。 This is how a retelling should be written。 Erotic， dubcon， and with the villains as heroes。 And I’m always a fan of calling an alpha male with BDE， Daddy。 Growing up， the Disney Aladdin was cool but mostly for the Genie， really though he made the movie。 I hated Jafar basically for how he was presented。。。 a stereotypical villain。 He had no charisma and leaned to hard on his sorcery。 THIS JAFAR！ Hot damn。 This is how to write a villain with ex 4/5 - Jafar x Jasmine + kink = XXX Erotic Romance！Wow。 This is how a retelling should be written。 Erotic， dubcon， and with the villains as heroes。 And I’m always a fan of calling an alpha male with BDE， Daddy。 Growing up， the Disney Aladdin was cool but mostly for the Genie， really though he made the movie。 I hated Jafar basically for how he was presented。。。 a stereotypical villain。 He had no charisma and leaned to hard on his sorcery。 THIS JAFAR！ Hot damn。 This is how to write a villain with extra BDE。 Jasmine is a thirsty woman with a kink for exhibition， and I’m all for it。 She’s had zero inhibitions with Jafar。 They had chemistry from the second they were on the page together。 They were believable as a couple - to me。 I liked the complexity of their feelings for each other。 Also worth mentioning Jasmine saves herself but not in the bitchy I am woman hear me roar。 Nope she did it violent class。 Go Jasmine。Meg and Hades show up in this book but they are， I don’t know， there。 Kina serve as easy outs for the ending of the book。 And oh yeah， Jafar， Jasmine， and Meg threesome was pretty hot。Ohhh！ Hook！ I’m grabby hands for his book。 Just the thought of Hook as a Dom。。。 And Tink is around too。 She’s bitchy and feisty but that’s the Tink I like。 Beyond the eroticism and chemistry it should be mentioned that this isn’t a healthy relationship from the start。 It’s a forced proximity situation。 Jafar takes Jasmine from the cage of her father’s palace to his cage of a penthouse。 This is a true dubcon relationship and if the reader doesn’t understand that dynamic a whole bunch of gnashing teeth will show。 By the end of the book it balances。 Let’s not forget this is romance so there’s always an HEA。The reason I gave this a 4 instead of 5 is the ending felt rushed。 Ali is talked about and kept ghost-like throughout the story。 He appears twice and then it’s over。 So the ending felt rushed。 Had the book been another 50-75 pages longer and his villainous character fleshed out maybe it would have capped the terror the reader was told he is but we never get that。 FYI:Oral， manual， penetrative sex。 Orgasm denial。 Spanking。 Exhibition。 Terms: Daddy and Baby girl （not a DD/lg power exchange， just let names）。 FMF scene。 。。。more
