I don’t think anyone has answered it yet, so regarding your question about whether (bodily) fluids can ruin a leather chair, the short answer is yes! If it’s fake leather, moisture will absolutely accelerate how fast the fake leather will start to peel and break down, and real leather can get stained, warped, or outright damaged by excess moisture. So Jafar’s concern about his chair was, in fact, quite warranted! 😂

One of the tricks in media law if you’re *bending* the rules is to make it so embarrassing, no one would take you to court over it. Like if you made a character based on a real person, you would make the character so horrific they wouldn’t want anyone to know it was based on them. In this case, it’s simply not worth Disney’s time to prosecute. They’ll get bad press by having their name associated with smut. They also aren’t losing any money here-they’re never going to monetize this kind of material. It was a smart move on Katee/the publisher’s part.

@@ReadswithRachel I think if she had a deal with them, she wouldn't have changed the spelling of the names. And I find it very unlikely that she does have a deal with them due to the fact that they have their own line of adult romance novels. Unless she has been contracted to write one of those or has said herself that she has Disney's approval. Otherwise, she's just violating copyright. And while that might not seem like a huge deal because Disney is so big, it really opens the door to violating smaller creators' IP. That said, really nobody seems to care in the romance world when people are "inspired" by stuff they don't have the right to play with.

I just cannot get behind the whole "my father sold me to [insert sexy bad guy]" premise. I can suspend reality for just about any other premise, and go along with it even if it's outlandish. But any contemporary book that begins with a grown ass legal adult saying "my dad sold me..." just makes me roll my eyes. No he didn't. He can't. Not in this universe, at least. How is that legally possible? I am going to have to see the legal paperwork and the state and/or federal bodies that approved this transaction. And if there isn't any, then it’s human trafficking. Also, hats off to the author for the whole element of "consent" and safewords, but why does Jasmine have a safeword. You mean to tell me Jafar is super cool with buying other human beings and murder, but draws the line at not listening to a safeword?! Ugh!!! I know I'm overthinking this, but that's exactly the point! The whole adult being sold premise just cannot be ignored in my mind. Edit to add: I was so busy on my tangent, I completely forgot to thank your Rachel for another amazing video! I love your reviews, whether it's a book I'm interested in or know I won't ever read. You always have such insightful (and humorous) commentary.

Katee Robert has described her books as being similar to the fast and the furious movies. They're not gonna be plot driven or focus on timeline but you still watch them because they're ridiculous and fun

I loved Aladdin as a kid, but no matter what, I always forgot that Jafar was in the film. He was such a nothing-villain to me that Iago was more of a threat.
