desperate measures katee robert series in order

Since we get thrown right into the thick of it, we miss out on some details of Jafar and Jasmine’s backstory. If you are going to read this novel, please take note of the content warning because without that content warning, the first chapter would’ve had a much different impact. I thank Katee Robert for this and I hope it starts a new trend! It lets the readers know exactly what they are getting into, especially when it’s a major theme throughout the book. Katee Robert gave us a content warning for the novel!Īs a person who chooses not to read very specific types of fiction and content for personal reasons, it was nice to have the very first page of this novel contains a content warning. The first chapter was also VERY INTENSE and for that reason, I want to take a moment to thank Katee Robert for doing something I have NEVER seen an author do in their books before. This story just tosses you into the novel, which is great…but it also meant I was a little lost for a couple pages as my mind switched to what it knew about the characters from other movies and stories and into this new world of fiction. It lets the reader really dive into all the complexities of the story while also getting insight to each character’s motivation.Īlthough, I did have a minor piece that I wish would have been different. Jasmine and Jafar are so well written, showing their inner thoughts only when they have a chapter in their point-of-view.

The story is darker than a traditional romance but that dark underbelly within the story makes it all the more exciting. Right out of the gate, this book is unlike any romance novel I’ve read before. It’s a pairing you may be raising an eyebrow at but I promise it’s perfection! Jasmine, the “princess” of her father’s underworld empire, and Jafar, his right-hand man who betrays Jasmine’s father and takes control of their business. “Desperate Measures” is the story of a modern and twisted retelling of Jasmine and Jafar. As a lover of all the bad boys and villains, I knew I had to get my hands on this series, and boy am I glad I did!!! It’s for, as Katee states in her book, “everyone out there who prefers the villains to the heroes”.

“Desperate Measures” by Katee Robert is the first book in her “Wicked Villains” series.
