I did not like the first 80% of this book. I hated the toxicity of this dynamic and while the spice was nice, it wasn’t exactly my kink. But that Jasmine character arc 🤌 nicely done, nicely done… I’ll be back in Carver City soon…
There is a definite difference between Erotica and Smut. To know the difference is simple... Take away the sex and if there is a definite plot, one that makes the book still interesting without the sexy stuff, then you have smut. Desperate Measures was all Erotica. There was barely a plot, and it wasn't even a good one. Literally, the first few pages were right to "business". I love Katee Robert's "Dark Olympus " series because there are Equal parts plot and sex. The plot carries out into the other books and it's just an enjoyable series. It seemed Katee Robert rushed this book and maybe was her first time writing something like this (I only just started to read her books starting with the Dark Olympus series, so I'm not familiar with her other works). Also the number of mistakes I found throughout the book was too damn high (said in the meme format). Don't get me wrong, I am not the best speller. Nor do I have correct Grammer and punctuation, but I'm also not in the field of writing books professionally. Also the language the main characters use to be sexy was not and just left that ick feeling. Don't get me wrong, I love some dirty talk in smut novels, but goodness Katee just overdid it and overused the same phrases. Like we get it you like the term "daddy" and "baby girl" but enough Katee. I also could not stop picturing Jafar from the classic Disney animated movie, and that was problematic for me and probably just a "me problem" and not one caused by the author. But I will at least read the second book in hope that because this is the first book, the continuation will be better as the series progresses. I know what Katee is capable of and the concept of making smut using classic Disney characters is titillating, she needs to reel in the eroticism and get a decent plot written, otherwise, I won't be able to continue with the series.
