My first book from the Never After series and it’s a yes from me! It’s an Aladdin retelling; Yasmin is Princess Jasmin. Her father is the owner of Sultans, a billion pound diamond empire and he is dying. 

His dying wish is for Yasmin to marry. In love with Aidan (Aladdin) since childhood, her father’s right-hand man Julian (Jafar) manipulates Yasmin into marrying him by threatening Aidan, who he has sent to Egypt to dig for the lamp. 

It’s a classic enemies to lovers; although I’d say that there was always a spark of something between them - lust, perhaps. 

When Yasmin is captured by someone Julian trusted, can he get the lamp to them before it’s too late?

It’s a relatively easy and quick read. I’ll definitely continue reading this series. I might also rewatch the Disney film :D
