Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - Desperate Measures

A NSFW, spicy fan fiction of Disney's Aladdin but with
the lead pairing being Jasmine and Jafar. An enemies
to enemies with benefits and maybe more kind of tale
Goes hot and fast, with very little build-up between the
exposition and the first sex scene. This is a great quick
read for anyone looking for a fast burn, spicy novel
with familiar characters and DDLG elements. Since this
takes place in a universe where all the Disney fairytales
collide, it's unclear what the time period is supposed to
be. My only critique: Katee's writing style occasionally
sounds a little too modern for the vibe of the story and
it can take you out of the moment briefly. But overall,
I'd recommend this to anyone that loves a fractured
fairytale with LOTS of spice, and is okay with DDLG
elements, Dubcon, voyeurism, and threesomes.

What a delight that the story gets right to the sexy point. It took me a little while to settle into the CNC but once I did i never turned back. I adore the twist at the end.

Look, it's not going to win a Pullitzer any time soon, but I enjoyed it.
The plot was nearly non-existent, so 80% of this book was only-slightly-cringey smut.
I'm not exactly sure what I expected, but it wasn't this. I like my smut to have a bit more plot, but I guess I'll just have to adjust my expectations with this author. The typos and gramatical errors were distracting as fuck, but there are not so many, so the book is still salvageable.
It wasn't bad, I actually liked it. The smut can be hot if you're into the shit that happens here. Since I'm only halfway into it, I didn't enjoy it as much as I could have. Just the whole Daddy & Baby girl deal had me cringing every single time.
I did love the ending though, that coup was amazing and I too would bend the knee to that queen.
So, all in all, I kinda liked it. I definitely didn't love it but I also didn't hate it. However, I don't think I'll be reading the next books.
I have to think how I feel about this author. I'm really intrigued by Neon Gods and I'm a Greek mythology junkie, but I'm not sure that will be enough to get me through another book by this woman.
