If I haven't said it before, let me just say that I LOVE Emily Mcintire's books! I think I'll be reading anything that she writes. I absolutely loved Yasmin and Julian/their relationship! And I adore how Emily ties so many Easter eggs from the story she was inspired by (in this case Aladdin) throughout her books! I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves modern fairytale retellings/inspired books.

Tropes/Vibes:
• Age-Gap Romance 
• Dad's Best Friend
• Enemies-to-Lovers 
• Aladdin Retelling 🧞‍♂️
• Forced Marriage/Marriage of Convenience
• People Pleaser MFC 
• "My Wife"
• "Good Girl"
• Touch Her and 💀 

Micro-Trope:
• He fixes her plate for her
and I LOVED it 🥰🤣

The last of the Never After series available on the Audible Plus catalogue until the end of this week, and it's definitely a case of saving the best until last. 

The narrators of this were spot on for the characters, and they were both engaging and easy to listen to. They suited the characters they were playing, and neither made any major changes when giving voices to other characters - it's certainly less 'acted' than the others in the series, and as a result works so much better. The male performance has also vastly increased my liking of Julian as a character - he may now be my favourite leading man of the series!

They also brought the story to life very well. I was able to more readily engage with the storyline and get more out out of it than I was from my initial read (although I admit that might be down to the fact I had read all of the books in very quick succession, whereas the audios force you to slow your pace). I am pretty confident that this audio will allow me to enjoy the physical book more the next time I pick it up, which I don't necessarily think is the case with the others in the series. 

I also like the fact that this one has the extended epilogue included - the rest don't (but fortunately I have the ebook versions of them).

Out of all four books I've listened to from the series, this is the audio I'd buy without hesitation. Definitely deserves an increased rating from the first read!

I was not happy with this from chapter one. As soon as I learned that Yasmin was 15 when she met a 28 year old Julian, and that this was supposed to be our endgame couple, I was digusted. Nothing would change that. At least with the other books they were somewhat entertaining even if they were bad, and Wretched was actually pretty good. This one though, the characters were all annoying or boring, save for the best friend. And knowing that this is a dark retelling of Aladdin, the plot was insanely predictable, down to the twists and betrayals.

Loved this book! She always does such a good job telling a twisted fairytale. I was not expecting the plot to turn out how it did and I loved every second! The dynamic between them is great and there is still miscommunications as they grow as people and become better. 🥹 If you always loved Jasmine but hated Aladdin for her this is SO for you!!! Made my teenage self squeal with joy through this read! 💗

Hands down my favorite of the series so far. Their whole dynamic was so good and hot af. My only real complaint is that the side characters were so one dimensional again. Like we get two very interesting main characters and everyone else is like vanilla and some of their choices don’t even make sense. 

Dark Romance, Enemies to Lovers, Dom/Bratty Sub, 3 3/4 🔥
