Sexy reimagining of Aladdin, wherein Jasmine and Jafar have a thing for one another and Aladdin is the “bad guy”. I liked the spice. I liked the story. There were several glaring spelling/grammatical errors and a rush to the wrap up at the end that made me drop the rating slightly.

I love Disney inspired books, but I was unsure how I was going to feel about it mixed with adult content. I was also unsure how I would feel about the book as I was never a fan of Jafar, and he was one of our main characters. At the beginning of the book, I thought that it wasn't going to be for me as it had consent/ non consent and I wasn't okay with it in the start of the novel however as the book progressed, I was able to move passed that as I started to see it more as their roleplay. Overall, I thought the book was good, did not go as I was expecting it to go. I might be interested in trying another book from the series.
