Desperate Measures (Wicked Villains Book 1)

Product Information

On the night Jafar takes everything from my father, he offers me a devil’s bargain—walk with my freedom and nothing else, or attempt to best him and regain my inheritance. In my arrogance, I play right into his hands. I foolishly assume I have a chance to come out on top. I’m wrong. Katee Robert is a successful published author. She also writes romance novels using the pen name Kat Taylor. We fight during the day, but when night comes, we play out every fantasy I’ve never allowed myself to admit to having. I can’t hide them from Jafar, though. We know each other—and the dark desires we share—far too well. He sees to my every need, no matter how carnal or extravagant. It’s almost enough for me to be happy… Jafar was an interesting enigma, and I was a little disappointed by the fact he wasn’t closer to the original story. It would have been great to see more of his darker side when dealing with Ali and the politics of the city. I did like the interactions between him and Jasmine, it was an interesting dynamic. It grew naturally throughout the book and I loved it. I’m definitely interested to see how the other books deal with their dynamics. Good and Bad things

Desperate Measures is based on Aladdin. We then follow Jasmine when Jafar has overthrown her father. Although the politics are similar the setting is city based instead of the desert. I really love how they write Jasmine and her curiosity of the world around her. The city added a roughness to her encounters and fits the overall feel of the book and sexual encounters with Jafar. I really wish there had been more development of her in the outside world and with other people other than Jafar and within The Underground. This book may be unsuitable for people under 17 years of age due to its use of sexual content, drug and alcohol use, and/or violence. Desperate Measures by Katee Robert

PDF / EPUB File Name: Desperate_Measures_-_Katee_Robert.pdf, Desperate_Measures_-_Katee_Robert.epub Jasmine decides to try and bargain, and she loses. Now she finds herself in a position where Jafar owns her. Even as her brain rails against the rules he is setting out, she can’t help but physically enjoy the punishments that he gives her when she breaks them. She may be falling for Jafar, but that doesn’t mean she’s automatically on his side. If you’ve spent any amount of time on BookTok or BookTube recently, you’ll probably have stumbled across a series of erotic villain-led Disney retellings. Yep, you heard me. Erotic villain-led Disney retellings. To Jasmine, a beautiful cage is still a cage, and she sees herself as living in a prison. She’ll do whatever it takes to get her freedom, even if it means betraying Jafar in the middle of falling for him. Will she be able to find her freedom or will she find that she enjoys her life with Jafar more? Read this book to find out! I think the good things about Desperate Measures are the dynamics that are created between Jasmine and Jafar. It was a great relationship and I loved the moments they shared, especially when there was raw emotion with them dealing with it all. I love how Jasmine questions a lot of what was going on and whether it was right for her. It was great to see the ending go in a completely different direction. I appreciate the effort that was made.

The bad for me was just how short this book was. I really wanted more development and more time with the characters and their stories. There is a lot going on and I feel there is a lot missing from the story that would have pushed it to new heights. I wish we could have seen more from Jafar’s point of view and how he dealt with everything around him. All in all, it’s a fun read but missing some potential. Recommendations
