About this audiobook

My Savior… Or My Ruin?


One night, and my entire life went up in flames. All because of him. Jafar. As my world burned down around me, he offered me a choice. Walk away with nothing but my freedom… Or rise to his challenge and win my fortune back.


I bargained.


I lost. 


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.


But a gilded cage is still a prison, I’ll do anything to obtain my freedom.


Even betray the man I’m falling for.

    Book was ok, but the male voice was awful. I struggled so hard to get through the whole book. Another person posted on a review that he sounded like batman from batman returns and I laughed everytime he came on.

    Jafar is so bad he’s good. This isn’t your childhood Aladdin fairytale. I haven't been one to read retellings but I'm glad I chose this one. The story along with the narration will keep you engaged from beginning to end.

    This was very interesting and took me aback!! I wasn't expecting this at all lol ?. This ruins Alladin for me and I won't be looking at that movie the same. Over all SPICY as all get out and on a whole different level. I just might continue this series!

    Too rapey for me. If you like sex scenes with no verbal consent. But an inner monologue of the girl thinking she might want it while the man just happens to automatically knows what she's thinking. And therefore does what he wants even though she says no. Then this will work for you. Just not me.

    That was way hotter than expected; i liked the pace of the narrative, the ending was a bit rushed. It felt a tad condescending at times - but it was a fun listen. If you're looking for something short, hot, and fun - this is your book

    Too many sex scenes and not enough story line. 80% of the book is Jafar and Jasmine practicing their ddlg fantasy.

    Love the book, but HATE the background noise for this audio book. In my opinion it ruins the book. And the shower is louder than the narrators..

    The male narrator just doesn't work for me can't even get through the first chapter. Disappointed that I used a premium credit to unlock it.

    If you’re looking for a good story with a good plot, this isn’t for you. Probably 85% of the book is just sex scenes. I mean, don’t get me wrong, they’re good sex scenes (I felt like I was literally watching porn on repeat), but there wasn’t really a plot and it kind of got boring after listening to the same sex scenes over and over. The ending does get a little bit better, but overall, it kind of just let me down.

    Uma surpresa agradável

    Peguei sem saber muito sobre o que era, mas a sinopse me lembrou muito a trilogia The Bargainer (eu adorei o primeiro livro, mas achei que deu uma despirocada do segundo em diante. Tem muitos volumes pra pouca história e a autora podia ter focado no romance, como no primeiro, que tava muito bom) e estou assinando o Scridb antes do meu semestre começar. Era curto. Por que não?
    Faltou muita coisa sobre o mundo que me deixou confusa durante a leitura. Explicações do que é o Submundo e o que o Hades faz; se eles têm magia, entre outros. Muito tempo narrando sexo. Algumas partes foram bem ridículas (não consigo ler isso de Daddy, Baby Girl não ironicamente) e achei os eu te amos muito rápidos.
    Mas a Jasmine me encantou de verdade de um jeito que não acontece com frequência. Estou ansiosa pelos próximos volumes e por um desenvolvimento mais do Jafar para que eu possa entendê-lo como entendi a Jas (já somos íntimas) o tempo inteiro.
    Gostei muito do final. Acho que vou gostar demais do próximo livro

    I don't usually like FFM . This really wasn't any exception to that . It was ok. She's written better books. I didn't feel drawn in by either character.

    Omfg. Just finished Desperate Measures by Katee Robert and I loved it. It has the hottest sex scenes I have ever read. Like wowzers. Of course it wasn't perfect but it was so much fun. Explored several kinks I love. ?? The female narrator is good but the male. Lord. His voice is like sandpaper. So excited to continue with the series. Hook appeared and well... I already love him.

    Wow. The plot was a little basic and slightly predictable but the delivery in the most intimate moments was great. It was sexy and exotic without sounding like an 80s knock off porno. I didn't enjoy the man's voice in this audio version, so I am hoping someone else narrates the next book in the series, however it wasn't bad enough to make the book unenjoyable.

    I didn't expect that I would enjoy this.

    Their chemistry was steamy and the scenes together were hot as hell.

    My heart was beating right out of my chest at times but it all worked out in the end.

    Katee Robert is starting to become a favorite of mine.

    ספר ראשון מתוך סדרת wicked villains
    טוב, לא מדובר ביצירת מופת, אפילו לא קרוב.
    אבל הספר גם לא מתיימר להיות משו אחר חוץ מסמאט טהור עם עלילה מגוחכת
    ספר נהדר להעביר את הזמן, אם אתם מחפשים ספר שלא מצריך ממכם שימוש של תאי מוח.
    אפשר אפילו להינות ממנו, כל עוד אתם באים בצפייה נמוכה ??‍♀️
