Desperate Measures by Katee Robert
3.0
I really enjoy the Dark Olympus series by Robert so I had high hopes for this series. It took me a long time to figure out that this series is actually somewhat connected to that series but comes before. I don't know why that was so hard for me to figure out but alas.
I thought this book was written pretty well. Nothing spectacular but also didn't make me edit in my head as I read. There were a lot of dark themes in this book so definitely check the tags below before you read. I think they were handled pretty well but since they're not really my thing I didn't get fully pulled into the story.
My main complaint in this story was that a lot of the drama between the MCs hinged so much on miscommunication or just not communicating in general and that's one of my least favorite tropes but maybe that's just a personal preference.
One thing Robert does well is write strong women and I did really appreciate how Jasmine was allowed to stay that way.
I will definitely be reading further in this series.
Author's tags: my father's second-in-command wants me, if you make it to the front door you're free but if you don't you're mine forever, captive heroine, villains do it better, BDSM, exhibitionism, role-play, safe words, daddy kink
