Desperate Measures by Katee Robert

Desperate Measures (Wicked Villains, #1)

by Katee Robert

Once upon a time, I was a sheltered princess.

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.

Now Jafar owns me, body and soul.

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…

But a gilded cage is still a prison, and I’ll do anything to obtain my freedom—even betray the man I’m falling for.

In DESPERATE MEASURES, you’ll find:
-> Dark Fairy Tale Retelling
-> Enemies to lovers
-> Kinky Roleplay
-> Captive Heroine
-> Alpha Hero

It was very steamy, but not the way I like, so only 3 stars.
