Fairy Tales Gone Wild: Wicked Villains
The series turns the traditional “good versus evil” story on its head, giving voice and vulnerability to characters who were once one-dimensional villains. The chemistry is explosive, the world-building is rich and immersive, and every book celebrate...
Right from the start I was drawn into Yasmina’s forced pact with Jafar—her transformation from sheltered princess to someone who bargains everything for freedom, body and soul, made the power-play and raw stakes grip me.
Desperate Measures book
What resonated deeply with me was the triad of characters—Gaeton, Beast and the heroine—balanced between lust and violence, and how the heroine’s loyalty to her sisters and power-base added such sharp emotional texture to the danger and desire.
The Beast, a romance novel by Katee Robert
What I found thrilling was the showdown between power and submission—Malone’s dominion over Carver City and the hero’s return after a single night years ago set the stage for a battle of wills where sex, business and danger collided in the sleek dark...
Queen Takes Rose, a romance novel by Katee Robert
From page one I loved Tink’s quest for revenge and the way Hook (and their complicated relationship) forced her to confront what she truly wants—it was gritty, vulnerable and seductive all at once.
A Worthy Opponent, a romance novel by Katee Robert
Immediately I was hooked by Megaera’s entanglement with Hades and the prince who bargained for her—seeing how she’s both captive and willing participant, while the prince tries to save and desire her, made for such a messy, addictive dynamic.
Learn My Lesson, a romance novel by Katee Robert
I love how the story weaves together power and vulnerability — the protagonist’s struggle, the high-stakes deal she makes, and the dark magic lurking beneath the surface keep me turning pages. The rich, atmospheric setting and morally grey characters...
The Sea Witch book by Katee Robert
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers Spinoff: Sabine Valley
I grew up watching Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, enjoying it but also clocking the major red flags. This series is guilt-free enjoyment while referencing that same storyline, combined with Robert’s incredible ability to keep a story meaningful wit...
I found myself pulled into Abel’s ruthless quest for vengeance as he drags Harlow—once claimed by his former best friend Eli—into his scheme, and I loved how Harlow’s resilience and Abel’s violent charm collided in that chaotic “seven-brothers, seven...
Abel, romance novel by Katee Robert
What resonated with me was Broderick’s internal conflict—forced into the handfasting with Monroe (an Amazon heir) while his heart remains with his best friend Shiloh—and how the slow-burn of Broderick/Monroe/Shiloh’s tension made the emotional stakes...
Broderick book by Katee Robert
Did Somebody Say Tentacles? A Deal With A Demon
I love a good monster smut story. These are for the girls who know what Bad Dragon is, even if you haven’t bought one yet. The character development in these stories plus the insane heat she writes into the intimacy makes every page titillating.
Grace’s monster‑hunter resolve when she signs the deal with the demon just to uncover her mother’s fate, only to be bound to Bram the gargoyle and have her careful guard crumble in his “tender care,” struck me as a powerful mix of vulnerability, resi...
The Gargoyle's Captive, romance novel by Katee Robert
From the moment Briar Rose bargains away seven years of her freedom to escape her monstrous husband and ends up auctioned to Sol the dragon, I was hooked by her fierce will to survive, the monstrous world she’s thrust into, and the way Sol’s fearsome...
The Dragon's Bride book by Katee Robert
Catalina’s deal with a demon felt so visceral—her choice born from desperation, then discovering she’s been handed over to a cold, distant kraken named Thane whose unexpected kindness draws her in—made the slow burn between them immersive and emotion...
The Kraken's Sacrifice, a romance novel by Katee Robert
Belladonna’s guilt‑laden deal—hoping to fix her past but ending up in the hands of Rusalka the succubus who demands not a servant but a true partner—was such a compelling twist on the bargain trope and made the stakes much higher than just freedom.
The Succubus's Prize, a romance novel by Katee Robert
This book is a darkly enchanting fantasy-romance where the stakes couldn’t be higher: Lenora trusts the wrong man, loses a treasured heirloom, and must venture into the mystical Shadow Market during Samhain to get it back. Along the way she summons R...
The Demon's Bargain book by Katee Robert
Eve has built a life of independence, money and self-determination—until her longtime admirer, the demon Azazel, tricks her into a contract and whisks her away to his realm. What follows is a tension-filled dance of power, secrets and hidden feelings...
The Demon's Queen book by Katee Robert
If Pirates of the Caribbean Was Rated R: Crimson Sails
These stories are some of my favorites in the pirate smut subcategory. The way that Robert can reference common tropes but makes them feel fresh is why I always go back to her books even if I’ve read them a million times.
It was so compelling to follow Lizzie, the bold bloodline vampire, as she hunts her stolen heirlooms and a portal home, paired with Maeve in a high‑stakes pirate world where the sea and magic are equally lethal.
Blood on the Tide, a romance novel by Katee Robert
I loved how Evelyn’s reckless theft from her vampire ex thrust her into the wild seas of the realm called Threshold, and how Bowen, the solemn captain of the Cŵn Annwn, both terrifies and fascinates her as she teeters between freedom and danger.
Hunt on Dark Waters, a romance novel by Katee Robert
I love the way the high-stakes pirate fantasy setting collides with deeply emotional character arcs — the rescuing of Bastian and the chase across the magical seas of Threshold creates such exhilarating tension. I’m also drawn in by the intricate emo...
Rebel in the Deep (Crimson Sails) book by Katee Robert
