Story
Ten years ago, The Harlequin Boys broke my heart. I thought my life was complete with them at my side, the five of us against the world, having each other’s backs no matter what the cost. I’d fight for them until my dying breath. It’s just a shame they didn’t feel the same. Once upon a time, my imperfect world shone bright with the light of four boys I would have killed for. This is the story of how they destroyed me.

Story
Eight years ago, my family was betrayed by those closest to us. Now we’re back in Sabine Valley, staging our return during the feast of Lammas, where I step into the ring and ensure we’re given what we’re owed. Who we’re owed. Our enemies send their seven best warriors against me. With each victory, I win a Bride for each of my brothers. And for me? I’m saving the best for last. My Bride is Harlow, the woman claimed by the man I used to call friend - the one responsible for our exile. Eli.

Broken down, and wounded by my emotionally neglectful ex, I wanted someone to tell me I was good enough. Then, I stumbled into a new job with a boss who brought me to my knees - literally. He has me do things a real secretary would never do. Emerson Grant tells me I’m more than just good enough. I’m worthy of his praise. There are a million reasons why I should stay away. The owner of the Salacious Players’ Club is not just my new boss - he’s twice my age. And my ex-boyfriend’s father....I’m a good girl, but I’m falling for the wrong man.

He was the talented bad boy everyone wanted. I was the irrelevant geek everyone hated. He was the sun...drawing all of us in. I was a black hole...taking up space. He was destined to be a star. I was destined to remain an insignificant no one. Until he made me believe I was special...and then he destroyed me. I never thought I'd see Phoenix Walker again after he broke my heart, but fate had other plans. One tour. Eight weeks. Forty shows. Countless opportunities to make him pay. The world thought he was a god...but I know the truth.

But the longer Mina spends with him, the more she realizes he's not the monster she first thought.

He's a billionaire heir. A grump supreme. Hater of people. Bigger hater of peopling with people. And my new fake boyfriend. "Emotionally unavailable" doesn’t even begin to describe Hayes Rutherford. He has more defenses than a nuclear missile silo. And he’s the ultimate catch of the century. At least, according to his bank statement. My job’s simple: Keep all interested ladies away from the walled-off heir, by pretending to be his one true love. But you know what they say about fake-dating a billionaire: It’s all fun and games, until the scandals start.

The Manipulator. I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me. I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh. But my words don't affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave. He's always there, watching and waiting. And I can never look away. Not when I want him to come closer. The Shadow. I didn't mean to fall in love. But now that I have, I can't stay away. I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves. I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine. And once she is, I'll never let her go.

In fifth grade my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student Ryen. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed. It didn't take long for us to figure out the mistake. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. The best take-out pizza. Android vs. iPhone. Whether or not Eminem is the greatest rapper ever. For the next seven years, it was us. She's the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am.

Smutty Jafar and Jasmine 🥵
more smut than plot, but that's not a bad thing! the performers do a great job.
trigger warnings for dub con, bdsm in general, the phrase "daddy" used in the bedroom (usually an automatic no for me, but the performers managed to keep it from being laughable), death, etc. it's a dark romance, so if you have triggers check them before getting into this book

interesting retelling beware the names
I always enjoyed Jasmine and Jafar's dynamic and this was a great retelling. of course it's smut with little plot which I enjoy but they use the pet names "daddy" and "baby girl". that made it a little difficult for me to enjoy the book. but all-round, exactly what you want from a Katee Robert book!

HORRIBLE
There isn't a zero star rating so I had to go with one. All of the reviewers who enjoyed this book, I cannot believe we read the same one. The narration was annoying. The story awful. Sex scenes. Blah. How many twenty something year old virgins go straight into full on BDSM, threesomes. Apparently, I return too many titles so I was forced to finish this one after not being able to return. What a waste.

Excellent for what it is
This is porn with plot. That's it. That's what we're here for. It's very, very good porn with plot.
Jafar's voice is almost comically over the top, but if you just buy into it and enjoy that it's a little campy, it makes it even more fun. It's not bad acting, it's meant to be a camp. Listen to the sample before purchasing.
Jasmine had a surprising amount of character growth that I really appreciated. She's a sheltered virgin, but she's smart and not helpless. The end took me by surprise and I loved it. He genuinely cares for her (though it takes a while for us to see because he stubbornly won't admit he's in love with her) and respects her. He is never disrespectful, even though it has elements of enemies to lovers.
Kinks include: CONSENSUAL NON-CONSENT, she does always consent, but it feels dubious in the beginning, rough sex, sharing, threesomes, spanking, hair pulling

Wow...Just, wow...
So, I found Katee Roberts books on a game app called chapters. They were amazing to play but they leave out some details so I like finding the full books and comparing. This full book was so much better. I was enthralled from chapter 1. I love books that get right into the action. I especially liked the audible version of having the book read by a male and a female. Normally, I space out the book with a few chapters a day, but it was so good I listened to the whole book in an 8 hour stretch, only stopping for a quick bite to eat at the middle portion. I highly recommend this book. If you like your men dominant and your heroine fierce you’ll love it. I’m off to purchase the next in the series.

Sharing - Not Acceptable to me
I was thoroughly enjoying this book until other participants were introduced. That caused me to lose interest in the book. I love erotic books but hate sharing. I do not know what to make of Jafar or Jasmine. I plan to return this book. Not sure if I will move on to the next one. Jack Calihan and Lessa Lamb did a great job with the narration.

Kind of regret getting this on audible, I have to listen via headphones many times because it gets pretty detailed and raunchy. Also Jafars voice actor is a bit distracting because it reminds me of Macho Man Randy savage.

50 shades of grey flash backs
Although I thoroughly enjoyed the concept that the author was going for I personally felt the storyline needed 2 times the work that she put in the sex scenes. It felt like she was trying to compete with 50 shades of grey.

Not for me!
I got this based on the recommendation from Tiktok. I am addicted to romance novels and love dark romance, alpha heros but this book was definitely not for me. There was no actual plot or romance. It was all steam, but zero connection between the characters. I kept wondering do these characters even care about each other. There was zero character development. Also the narration was lackluster Lessa Lambs voice was okay but Jack Calihan as Jafar, i could not get into it. Skip it!
