Desperate Measures (Wicked Villains, #1)

by Katee Robert

[whisperingchapters]

I'm rather speechless. So out of my comfort zone, yet I kept craving this story. I got so addicted, to the point that it felt like I was in a desert and this story was an oasis. It's that addicting and thrilling. My heart rate spiked up from the beginning of the book, spiked up even higher in certain areas that left me absolutely breathless.

I was not expecting the ending we got but I definitely preferred it a million times. I love how fierce, strong, badass is Jasmine. She's such a ball of fire! I was loving the fight and fire she put forth for Jafar.

I didn't know what to make of Jafar, at first. But ugh, he changed me, converted me. 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. 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. And at the end, how he was just ready to be by her side, had me rooting hard for him and Jasmine. It solidified my thoughts about him being a great guy.

Let's talk about the elephant in the room. 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. But I was more shocked of just how much I was actually enjoying it. I usually shy away from books with this type of stuff, but not here. Katee Robert did it in such a way that it had my attention completely. It even made me question myself! I don't know if that's good or bad
