šŸŽ¶A Whole New WorldšŸŽ¶

Let me start by saying Katee is the lady who hooked me into a contemporary erotic romance! It would, therefore, make sense that she would turn ā€The Daddy Kinkā€ one of the few kinks I do not like reading into something very enjoyable!

The characters in this story embrace the wicked and taboo! Because it's wrong, they enjoy it even more! They are villains and run outside the social norms, and we love them for it!

The Underworld is a very dark and kinky Sex Club! We meet Meg, Hades, Tink, & Hook!! This series is going to rock!!

Leave all of your morals behind when you open this one! Jafar and Jasmineā€™s story might be one of the darkest and dirtiest I've ever read! Itā€™s emotionally, physically, and politically charged! It's amazing!
Together Jasmine and Jafar have a deep love and respect no matter how hard one might fight it!! Jafar is a perfect Dom in knowing what Jasmine wants, needs, and then loving her more as she grows bolder & freerā¤ļø One of the main themes is pushing your limits for a greater reward no matter what you think you should do!

This book and no doubt this series will continue to take me out of my comfort zone!

Here are some points that spooked me a bit while reading, remember I'm an erotic romance lover, not straight up erotica reader, I need characters to have an emotional, love relationship along with the physical.
- Inviting a 3rd or more to join when there is no relationship between those characters (AKA I love Theo, Galen, & Meg because they are a Triad. This is very different from that)
-FF/FFM is not my thing, but for the story, it made total sense
-Daddy\Little Girl still makes me squirm, but the way it was explained worked. She made it VERY CLEAR it had nothing to do with the child/parental relationship.

If you love seeing Villains win, Disney Destroyed, and some of the hottest sexy times ever written go, run, and buy this bookšŸ˜˜šŸ˜˜šŸ˜˜

2.5 stars - do not recommend

**E-BOOK & AUDIOBOOK**
My library app recommended this book, the summary sounded promising, but I was disappointed.
Too much smut, not enough of a story. The last 2 chapters were the best, but not worth the read.

outta this world!

This is a whole new world, that I definitely didnā€™t expect! Itā€™s steamy, sexy, hot! It was fun having the different characters play their roles in different ways! The way I now wish, it was always Jafar and Jasmine>>>> this was a great new beginning.

Dubcon issues aside, this book was quite well put together. The author explained everything well to make it comfortable basking in the uncomfortable. It brought me back to classic fanfiction days. I donā€™t think there is another way someone could have written dubcon in a way that is respectful and actually quite consensual.
