“the devil is jafar’s voice in my ear, full of sin and promised pleasure. it might cost me my soul, but what is a soul in comparison with a night’s pleasure?”

katee robert does it again! 

i loved seeing yasmina grow into herself throughout this book. she discovered how truly strong and powerful she is, and how deep jafar’s love and care for her runs. 

with the spicy scenes, i especially appreciated the importance of aftercare and listening to the partner in the submissive role, and jafar did a beautiful job of listening to yasmina and her needs. 

the new cover of this book is so stunning, and i thoroughly enjoyed all of the bonus content and the author annotations on some of the pages. the kink questionnaire at the end was like the cherry on top, and it was so interesting to see the different things that jafar and yasmina are into. i’ll definitely be pre-ordering the other books in this series!
