This is an Aladdin retelling where Jafar, or in this scenario Julian, gets Jasmine (Yasmin in the book). I have loved every book previously in The Never After so far, but this slow burn did me in. I wasn't really in love with this book until 60% through. It's age-gap, enemies to lovers and forced marriage. That being said once the spice hit my jaw was on the floor, and I enjoyed how everything wrapped up in the end.

Spice is great very descriptive but most of this series the plot is pretty bland until you get 70% through the book

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 🔥
