From Lala’s Book Reviews*clears throat* I would first off like to say that this book is VERY S-P-I-C-Y… so I would just like to throw that out there for all of my YA reader friends who aren’t into these types of books.Next, I’ll be completely honest and say that yes, I bought this book because of booktok. Do I regret it? No.Even before this book takes place, there was always that sizzle between Jafar and Jasmine in the years leading up to the start of this book.From the very beginning Jafar would never do anything to Jasmine without her approval (if you know what I mean) despite him being the “villain”. Sure he kidnapped her when the book first started but compared to the man who her father sold her to and was planning to hand over, Jafar was more respectful of women and their body. He wouldn’t let things go any farther if there was any doubt in his partner’s mind while the man bought Jasmine would take everything of her without even asking her.This book turns into an enemies to lovers situation when Jasmine is taken from one cage to another when Jafar takes her back to his penthouse, and very slowly the walls start to break between them, but can Jasmine really trust him when he keeps her captive and knowing that she is a pawn in some game?Honestly with the chemistry between Jasmine and Jafar, it could set a city on fire just with them being next to each other without a flame being anywhere near them; they are literally that explosive.Ever since Jafar met Jasmine before the book started, he knew that she was special. Even with her being certain ways behind close doors, she is a very strong-willed woman even when men want to keep her locked away behind a lock; she is constantly push this man who took her and could easily overpower her, but even with his tough exterior, Jafar can’t say no to Jasmine no matter how hard he tries (of course when it’s situations that isn’t life or death).Throughout the book, you can see that despite Jasmine and Jafar’s walls breaking and them getting closer in ways that either of them intended, Jasmine see has this deep soul calling yearning to be free of being a prisoner. Despite Jaraf wanting to have her in his life as the book progresses, he’s willing to set her free when things are safe for her and the danger is gone.It falls on Jasmine for her to take control of her life and decides what to do next.I can definitely same that I’m intrigued by this book with the whole “the villain of most stories is the main love interest” which doesn’t really surprise me considering how much I love morally gray book boyfriends.
