He’s Forbidden—a devil I shouldn’t want
Malik Jafar.
The one man I can never have.
The one man I shouldn’t want.
He gets everything he desires.
But that doesn’t include me.
So why do I keep finding myself alone with him?
It would be so simple to give in to him, except for one thing.
He’s married to my best friend.
Too bad my heart doesn’t care.

She’s Temptation—a sin that could ruin me
Ellie, my little mouse.
The one woman I can never have.
The one woman who could ruin me.
My world is a dangerous one.
One where she’s hurt just to get to me.
So I change the game and make her mine.
Too bad I wasn’t prepared for the consequences.
Because sometimes the hit you aren’t expecting comes from within your own ranks.

GIVE ME THIS MAN.

GIVE ME THIS MAN.
***COPIED FROM MY GOODREADS REVIEW***Alright, so I may or may not have read this book in less than a day.Why?Well, for starters I was on my way back from a conference, so this was a GREAT way to pass the time. Every now and then, I'd start getting really into a scene and reading it aloud to my sister. We all got a great kick out of Jafar and his retorts! For another...hot, villainous sugar daddy who makes your stomach clench in more ways than one?YES, PLEASE! I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE! TAKE ME NOW!!!I haven't had the thigh-tightening pleasure of diving into a dark mafia romance before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Still, boy was I in for a surprise! The way Author Sarah Bale orchestrates the relationship between the heroine and hero...it's just too good to set aside. A spicey enemies to lovers that leaves you begging for more.Hear that, Jafar?BEGGING.Did I mention it ends on a cliff hanger? Don't worry. The second book is already out! I am beyond thrilled to get my hands on the next one to see just how these two end up! Right now I'm banking on Jafar earning himself some sort of redemption because DANG IT, WHY WOULD HE DO THAT TO HER?!I GET IT. I DO. BUT WHY?Okay, okay. I'm done. I'll sulk at my desk until book 2 arrives in the mail.If you're into these types of books, definitely give it a read. I will say that you should note the trigger warnings in the beginning. The author made sure to give us a good run-down so that her readers understood just what type of E2L they were in for.Happy reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this new to me author and her amazing story!!
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2023

What if the fairytales had it all wrong? What if Cinderella actually fell in love with the Villain and not the Prince? And what happens when he is already married…to your best friend?

I absolutely hated Jasmine. Like with the passion of a million blazing suns. Why Ellie ever stayed friends with her, for so long, had me questioning if I could even like Ellie herself. But alas, I did. I hated she allowed Jasmine to walk all over her the way she did, but in part I could also understand why.

Then there was Jafar. I was so hot and cold with my feelings for him, and they would change on the minute. One second he was everything you’d want in a fictional man. The next, he would open his mouth and without a doubt deserved to live the rest of his miserable life with Jasmine.

And if you are looking for a happily ever after, you may be waiting. This one ends in a cliffhanger. I don’t necessarily have problems with them, I just try not to start them until at least a couple are out before diving in. Hopefully I do not have a long wait for the next one to see what happens next.

And after reading my review you are probably scratching your head wondering why I gave it 5 Stars and devoured it within hours. That’s because this book blew me the freak away. I seriously did not put it down. Even ate my lunch while turning the pages. 100% loved it and couldn’t get enough.

Bale is a new to me author and now I am addicted to her work. I will be seeking out her backlog soon!! 5 Stars!

4.0 out of 5 stars Poor Ellie, she really hurts
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2024

This is my first time reading this author. It’s book one and it’s a wild ride for Alpha Malik Jafar. He runs his part of New York and does what he wants. Poor Ellie is like a doormat, honestly it’s worst than Cinderella because she is not picking up on any hints or cues to stop the train wrecks that keep coming her way. Malik Jafar is attracted to Ellie, but she cannot handle his hot to cold times and looks down on herself. It’s an interesting storyline but it’s frustrating and sad for the abuse done to Ellie from all the people who claim to be her friends. There are triggers and a cliffhanger. Read On!

What a fun, spicy book. It was like a spicy, dark Disney princess/character plot line. Done so well! This book does have some tropes that may be bothersome to others so check that out if you have hard red lines. As for me I went in headfirst and was absolutely surprised with how much I loved this book!

MF, no cheating*/sharing, low heat, CLIFFHANGER
She is Cinderella, an evil step-mother and two terrible step-sisters, a best friend from her boarding school days that is not a friend at all as she sets the h up for failure over and over again, including marrying them an who fell in love with her by tricking him. He is a mafia king, tricked into marrying, denying his feelings for his wife's "best friend". They finally can't resist their attraction and give in (so H cheats on his wife). But then he keeps turning cruel to the h, telling her he doesn't want her or need her, etc (supposedly trying to protect her from his criminal life - and also he won't divorce his wife - against the criminal code). TRIGGER: r@pe - this book ends with h going on the run when she finds out she is pg, not only scared her r@pist will find her and hurt her, but from the H too.

I found this author/book by chance. The genre isn’t my goto but man I couldn’t put this down. There is some darkness in this book with all kinds of naughty, nice and sinful thrown in. The H/h relationship isn’t overly comfortable for me but it so works for this story. Moving on to book2

4.0 out of 5 stars so. many. emotions.
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2023

So, to start - this was a lighter dark read which is ok, sometimes you need a little less heavy. Check your TWs because there are some darker themes sprinkled in.

I’m reviewing this book after having come across a review from a book bestie who I have a lot in common with - she never lets me down, and her streak continues.

Ellie is the biggest doormat on the planet. I cannot for the LIFE of me understand her dynamic with Jasmine when all Jasmine does is go specifically and egregiously out of her way to hurt Ellie. This is a feeder friendship but Ellie benefits nothing from it.

Malik Jafar is a puzzle. He’s extremely open about his work as a made man, and just as honest with himself about his loathing over choices he’s made wishing he could turn back the clock and choose a different path. His hot and cold behavior towards Ellie is of course infuriating but somehow hot at the same time. The. Foot. Rub. Scene. 🔥 I honestly gave this book 4 stars and did enjoy this modern fairy tale retelling. Don’t sleep on this one, fam.

Savage Sins is an Aladdin retelling of sorts with a Cinderella twist. It does end in a cliffhanger which is typically not my thing but I tell you, this book is will absolutely have you spellbound. It's definitely dark so pay attention to the trigger warnings the beginning. Buckle up, get ready for a wild ride with Jafar and Ellie!
"Things will get worse before they get better."
What a telling line for the beginning of the book. I have a love/hate relationship with some of these characters. I can't stand Jasmine, nope, no way, no how. Malik Jafar, I'm kind of on the fence about him. BUT, I adore Ellie. She deserves so much more than she gets.
"They are as different as night and day, but thinks they balance each other out. Their love isn’t something that makes sense, and that’s okay."

I loved this book because it's the first romance I've read that has the main characters cheating on the wife/best friend. It works. It's a tale that's different from the rest, and achingly real. I couldn't put the book down and have already ordered the second in series so I can immediately continue. Great writing, and a great story

I just love the cheating trope, the angst and forbidden aspect! Escapism reading at it's best. This was so well written, my first from this author. Kept me interested, minimal fluff, Jafar was hot and the scenes were spicy! I am now a huge fan and on to book 2. I checked out the other books for this author and found mainly reverse harem which I am NOT a fan of so dear author if you see this review please write more stories like this one, I loved it!

Main female Character definitely needs a back bone and I can't believe the main male character followed through on advice after saying what he did and her going through what she did don't care what happy endings if any happen in this series she definitely didn't deserve that
