It says a lot about my mood that I have just read two Katee Robert's back to back! Sometimes only a little romance and a whole lot of spice can provide the escapism that I currently need in my life! These are both great... but super spicy 🌶🌶❤️❤️😉

Soubhiville I like your mug ☕️🙂. 7mo
RobES @Soubhiville aww ta, my friend's husband is a potter in Portugal ( Olaria Pequenia ... I may have spelt that wrong) and it is one of his .... it fits a lot of coffee 😉 7mo

I have fallen down a Katee Robert rabbit hole but the fact that the Wicked Villains series ties into Dark Olympus, is just the greatest thing ever for me. An Aladdin retelling that will leave your childhood ruined but your adulthood fully sated. Thank me later babes. 🫶🏼

Fun twist on Aladdin definitely steamy, explores dom kinks and now I cant think about the original version the same way ;)

It is official, I will never view Aladdin in the same way again! Who knew Jafar could pull me to the dark side so quickly?! Jasmine is one lucky lady, even if she doesn‘t know it yet. This book blended the well loved story with a new dark twist that I loved from the first page to the last. Can‘t wait to dive into the rest of the series!!

Not your Disney story. If you like a good villain story, you're probably ready for this #hot #20-2022

I must have been a really good girl this year because I was just gifted these ebooks in a book swap!!!! I am sooooo excited to dive into this world and probably ruin my childhood, but from what I hear it is sooooo worth it!!!

Well this wasn‘t what I expected. At. All. It turned out to be a very good read. This is a re-telling of Aladdin…where Jafar is our hero and Aladdin is the baddie! Very quick read less than 200 pages with a lot (ok a ton) of steam, a a very fleshed out storyline. #wickedvillains #fairytaleretellings

Read this with two of my friends…I won‘t lie….I loved every single second of it. I thought the whole thing was pretty well written and surprisingly only found 2 editing mistakes! Definitely loved this sexy Aladdin retelling

Another book done for this weekend‘s #AnyWayYouReadathon and #bookspinbingo
This is the first book in Robert‘s Villains erotic romance series. Though the kinks in this one are not completely my jam, it is well written and an entertaining start to the series. This is definitely more erotica than romance so heads up! 3.5⭐️

A retelling of Aladdin with Jasmin and Jafar but characters roles were inverted. I thought this would be a dark romance but this is an erotica novel with sex all the time in a dark, toxic, unhealthy way with not much plot/action. The author warned about “depictions of consensual non-consent sex”. It is very graphic. If you liked 50 Shades of Gray you maybe like this one. For me was so-so to Pan.

DieAReader I hate it when books don‘t turn out like I want/expect. Great job with all the #ShutdownReadathon reads! 3y
StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Oh no. I was thinking of reading this one for the fairytale retelling reading challenge, as I thought it sounded dark too. But I think I'll pass now. 3y

Gissy @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Maybe it will be good if you try the first pages, you never know. There were some pages ok but it is almost sex all the time but it has good rating 3.5 in GR. I follow some YouTubers that highly recommend it and that was the reason I read it. I don‘t know if I‘m going to try the second book. 50 Shades of Grey was difficult for me. I‘m open to read these topics but it was quiet toxic. 3y
TheAromaofBooks Sounds like an intriguing premise, but probably a little too far into the erotica column for me!! 3y
Gissy @TheAromaOfBooks I‘m open to this topics but sometimes I will like to see more in the plot, but try it, you never know, maybe the first chapters. It has an average rating of 3.5⭐️. I read it because it was highly recommended by various YouTubers. I maybe try the second book to see if it is different. 3y
Andrew65 Oh dear! Well done on finishing it. 👏👏👏 3y

It's a rainy, cold Monday afternoon. I took Peri on a short walk in the rain and now we're home relaxing. I'm starting Katee Robert's Wicked Villains series. The first book is a steamy modern re-telling of Aladdin.

Damn 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

A sexy retelling of Aladdin in which Ali is the worst villain and Jasmine and Jafar are together.

Jafar takes over Jasmine‘s father‘s crime enterprise and takes Jasmine as a prize and to help him solidify control -even though he wants her for more. Jasmine is a sheltered, yet strong woman that has never been in the outside world.

The dom/sub relationship is hot and the ending great. Way steamier than I expected and I loved it.

wen4blu Did you read the other one in the series? I liked the story more and it‘s just as steamy. 4y
Lauren_reading @wen4blu I have it on hold at the library so hopefully I‘ll get to it soon! 4y

So as for erotica this one was actually not bad. The only thing I would suggest before reading this is to do a little research about Dom/Sub relationships. Yes they are consensual and their are rules in place to keep everyone safe. Now I get these are are not everyone‘s thing but this one was pretty good. It‘s was defiantly and good different take of Aladdin where Ali is actually the bad guy.
