I’m a fan of dark romances and erotica, and Aladdin was one of my favorite movies when I grew up.

I will admit, I’ve wanted to read this book ever since I knew it existed. It’s probably one of my top reads for the year. Now Jafar owns me, and even as my mind rails against his rules, my body loves the punishments he deals out when I break them.īut a gilded cage is still a prison, I’ll do anything to obtain my freedom.Įven betray the man I’m falling for. Walk away with nothing but my freedom… Or rise to his challenge and win my fortune back. As my world burned down around me, he offered me a choice. Katee Robert did it in such a way that it had my attention completely.One night, and my entire life went up in flames. I usually shy away from books with this type of stuff, but not here. But I was more shocked of just how much I was actually enjoying it. I've read erotica before, but NEVER THIS! I was in shock with everything, but not so much what was happening, since I have friends who like the type of activities in this book so I know enough about it to not be scarred or disgusted. Let's talk about the elephant in the room. It solidified my thoughts about him being a great guy.

And at the end, how he was just ready to be by her side, had me rooting hard for him and Jasmine. If you really pay attention, he always gives Jasmine an out, always makes sure she knows she can back out, always takes care of her. I couldn't stop thinking about him! He appears with this strong, calculated, nothing-can-hurt-me, I-don't-care attitude, but the way he treats Jasmine says otherwise. I didn't know what to make of Jafar, at first. She's such a ball of fire! I was loving the fight and fire she put forth for Jafar. I love how fierce, strong, badass is Jasmine. I was not expecting the ending we got but I definitely preferred it a million times.

My heart rate spiked up from the beginning of the book, spiked up even higher in certain areas that left me absolutely breathless. I got so addicted, to the point that it felt like I was in a desert and this story was an oasis. So out of my comfort zone, yet I kept craving this story. It’s almost enough for me to be happy…īut a gilded cage is still a prison, and I’ll do anything to obtain my freedom-even betray the man I’m falling for. He sees to my every need, no matter how carnal or extravagant. We know each other-and the dark desires we share-far too well. We fight during the day, but when night comes, we play out every fantasy I’ve never allowed myself to admit to having. I foolishly assume I have a chance to come out on top. In my arrogance, I play right into his hands. 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. Once upon a time, I was a sheltered princess.
