Spicy with a plot
This book was such a breeze to get through and had an enjoyable plot along with the really food spice, I loved how the book portrayed cnc in a more positive manner but this comes as a surprise to no one as Katee Robert literally the queen of spice. I did not see the twists coming and there was major character development when it comes to Jasmine.

5.0

I really hate term of endearment “baby” but I loved how Jasmine HERSELF overcame shame and judgement to OWN her desires.

Then she took it a step further and became literally the queen she already was.

Similar feelings to my criticism of Neon Gods - so much telling, especially within the interiority of inner monologue, and not a lot of showing, or of propelling the story or characterization through dialogue and interaction between the characters. 

Delightful smut, but I think I have to resign myself to the fact that I won't get all I'm looking for from a Katee Robert book. (Which breaks my heart a little, since I adore her.)

For Jasmine, narrator Lessa Lamb was a dream. 
For Jafar, narrator Jack Calihan really did not do it for me. His voice was SO deep and harsh in its delivery...it kind of sounded like he wasn't fully comfortable with the material, or thought he had to push over-the-topness onto it. The text is over the top by itself, it doesn't need any help!
