Like Katee’s other books, the focus on consent is very strong which is important as this is a consensual non-consensual narrative. High emphasis on safe word which made me as a reader more comfortable with the scenarios. My major criticism is that it uses the didney names and so that’s all my lil brain could conjure up. I know in this Jafar is supposed to be a hot n sexy mid 30s(?) man but all I got was 2D sprindly ole long face. Overall, enjoyed it but not her strongest work imo.

If you like the word "daddy" used as a term of endearment during sexy time then this is the book for you,  because I feel like I read that word at least 100 times since it was introduced to the relationship between Jafar and Jasmine.  Honestly, this book was mostly just smut and a rushed ending to give the illusion of girl power. The whole set up makes Ali seem as if he's this terrible character that no one can catch and then *SPOILER ALERT* Jasmine does and she easily kills him? Come. On. At least make it interesting!

 I like the quick novel with Disney undertones of my childhood mixed with a hint of spicy and villain gets the girl.
