as expected, the stories with jasmine & jafar & tink & hook were my fave

[Anna lost in stories *A* · Rating 5 out of 5]

this is a series of seven books (6 actual novels plus a collection of short stories and additional scenes) and I am not even gonna tell you how fast I read all of them… spoiler alert: incredibly fast ;) but who would know how much I needed in my life a dark, contemporary, erotica retellings of Disney villains getting their happy endings with lots of BDSM on the way… ;) not me, that’s for sure… honestly, I am shocked by how addictive this series is… and I am totally blaming it on the amazing writing style of Katee Robert :) I’m just gonna write one review for the whole series, cause in each one I would just repeat myself :) so here goes :) first of all, these books are hot as fuck… they are very well written, but make no mistakes, there is just enough plot to move things along and the majority of each story focuses on the (very sexy) romances… not only we have all sorts of sexual preferences and kinks included, I loved how it was just… there… no judgement whatsoever… consent is the one rule everyone abided by and when it comes to everything else, just do whatever works for you :) we also have a lot of different… let’s call them relationship dynamics, shall we? :) we have an FF couple and polyamorous relationships (both MMF and FFM) and it’s glorious :) my personal favourite is the third one (A worthy opponent) with the sixth one (Queen takes rose) a close second :) there are also gonna be (at least as off right now) two spin-off series, and you can bet your ass I already bought / pre-ordered all of those books :) if you want to find an amazingly well written escape from reality that will make you melt all over, look no further and pick this series up :)

XOXO

4.5 ⭐

first short story collection in history to genuinely add something valuable to the series

[winnie ₊ ⊹ · Rating 3 out of 5]

three stars! *:･ﾟ✧ these were all pretty cute novellas and i think they all captured the ending for each character perfectly! my favorites definitely involved jasmine and jafar, and then hook and tink! <3

[Kaitlyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Such good additions to each story and couple. I loved this series so so much!!!

[Gwen Carl!! · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was so cute I loved seeing all the characters in their happy little lives and seeing what their lives are like now that they are happy. I legit almost cried at some of them they were just so pure. I wish I could have a million of these short stories to read so if anyone will give me money to sign up for the author's patreon I will reward you with a thank you and a high five

[Brianna - Four Paws and a Book · Rating 3 out of 5]

Definitely fan service, which makes sense because this is a compilation of shorts originally for her patreon. It felt like a collection of epilogues and if you're a fan of this series, you'll enjoy going back to these characters

[Ashley Shea · Rating 4 out of 5]

The sexy parts were sexy, the domestic bliss parts were not necessary for me. I already knew, because KR is a huge lover of HEAs, that everyone was going to have a happily ever after, so I didn't need to read about them.

I loved the Beast/Gaeton sections, I really liked the Hook/Tink sections, I really liked the Hercules/Hades stuff, the Jasmine/Jafar sections were ok. I just struggle to see the point in showing the inevitable happy endings for Zuri/Ursa, Aurora/Malone, without sex... Sorry; I'm a huge pervert with no shame!

I'm remembering too that the The Sea Witch book was my least favorite in the series and while I liked Queen Takes Rose, it was forgettable.

These shorts are a fun distraction for a couple hours, but ultimately were super fluffy. I'm giving it ⭐⭐⭐⭐ pretty much solely because I felt I couldn't give The Beast a higher rating. Also, I will continue to reread this series and read all continuations...

PRETTY PLEASE MORE BEAST AND GAETON!!!!!

Book 1, Desperate Measures: Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Book 2, Learn My Lesson: Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Book 3, A Worthy Opponent: Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Book 4, The Beast: Review: ⭐⭐⭐
Book 5, The Sea Witch: Review: ⭐⭐
Book 6, Queen Takes Rose: Review: ⭐⭐⭐

⭐3.5/5 stars ⭐

I think I waited a little too long to read these short stories - they were fun and smutty but honestly I was like ok...
And again I maybe should have read these earlier but still.
My only thing is - I love Hook and Tink that is my only concrete opinion at this point.
Thank you very much.

Also - the whole time I was thinking about the song "Honey, I'm Home" by Shania Twain do with that information what you will (I love the song for the record)

K thx <3

This was a compilation of stories on what's going on with the lives of each character in the Wicked Villain series. We see the before and the after of what everything was going through.

This book gave us closure from all the characters: Jafar, Jasmine, Meg, Hades, Hercules, Hook, Tink, the Beast, Isabelle, Gaeton, Zuriella, Alaric, Ursa, Aurora, and Malone, all of these were snippets of their lives after what has happened to them in their books.

This book was a good ending to all endings, especially when I've been curious about what they were doing after their "happily ever after" in a place full of chaotic mess.

2.75 stars

I had liked getting to see previous characters from former novels, but then again the whole book was just spicy scenes. Which I felt was a bit over the top you know?

[Brianna Noelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Did I finish this prematurely? Yes. Did I potentially spoil a few small things for the last two books of the series I need to read? Also yes. But did I love it anyway? Of course.

[Andrea Ashwood · Rating 4 out of 5]

3’85⭐️

It’s very emotional to read the happily ever after of all the characters. 🥹💕
Now I'm looking forward to reading the second generation of Wicked Villains. 🤗💋

[Bookishvette · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was very nice going into their lives again!!!

[Dominika · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5
1. This is a living proof that after "and they lived happily ever after" love exists, is certainly not boring and there can be some magic in casualty.
2. I can't believe there are no more books left in this series.
3. I never thought I'd say that, because this is a series of fucking dark romances, but I'm really going to miss it all - the guys, the fun I had while reading and other things. I really get attached way too easily.
Also, this was a really good addition which kind of suprised me, cause they're usually unnecessary.

[Alexis Scrima · Rating 3 out of 5]

I loved getting to see some of my favorite characters again! I did skip over some stories and the last story did spoil me for Queen Takes Rose but I’m excited to read that next! I’ve honestly grown to really enjoy these books so I’m kinda sad it’s basically over I’m pretty sure. Still an enjoyable smutty read.

[Kat · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute but nothing groundbreaking. I was happy to see some of the old character and I especially liked the Hercules’ apology story but we didn’t learn much that was new about these characters. I think these are lovely to have read separately as they were published on Patreon but as a collection, it’s cute but not much more than that. If you liked this series, this is a fun short story collection and I think you’ll enjoy it.

[Chelsea · Rating 4 out of 5]

Normally I don't read short story collections...but I couldn't resist returning to this world or these characters. Was not disappointed. Absolutely fabulous to revisit these delightful characters! Of course, it's Katee Robert, so the stories ranged from extra spicy to fluffy and cute. A great arrangement and I just wiped a tear seeing how happy these couples ended up.

[krista (gnocchi) · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read this in a couple hours and it was hard to follow after having finished the series itself. I wish there was reference to help with the timeline, although I know these are a compilation of the Patreon and email exclusives. But it was nice to see little pieces of the stories of everyone, often interacting together. I’d love to see a larger collective novel showcasing everyone.

**Below is the date of when I read the book, the Percentage of the way through the book the story takes place, the title of the short story, a star rating out of 5, and for the last 13 a written review of the story too. They're backwards because that's how it copied and I'm lazy and not going to retype all this.

January 25, 2022 –
99.0% "Late Night Conversations: 4/5 I figured this would be about a child since there was that weird brief moment in Queen Takes Rose where Malone asks Aurora about kids. I hate that they get to have a child before Tink (and that we never get to see Tink's child in a story) but it was fine."
January 20, 2022 –
95.0% "Hercules' Apology: 4/5 good story line, poor scene overall, but I at least enjoyed getting to see an ACTUAL punishment doled out"
January 20, 2022 –
89.0% Honey We're Home: 0/5 garabge. Boring. I barely read this one. I want scenes as bonus', I literally do not care about this couple"
December 18, 2021 –
85.0% "Ladies Night in Carver City- 2/5. Honestly this one was just sad. It was nice to finally see Jasmine again, but she got minimal dialog and it's like Roberts forgot who Jasmine was and jsut wrote her like a basic fill in character. All the men were way to possesive and I hate that Aurora felt so alone even though she was surrounded by friends- the Aurora in the other stories wouldn't feel like that."
December 18, 2021 –
77.0% "Seven Minutes in Heaven- 4/5: idk why Aurora isn't apart of this relationship more permanetly. She's clearly very invloved with them all."
December 16, 2021 –
71.0% "Sparring: 2/5 I KNEW COHEN WAS ALIVE. I freaking told you. And look at that, Beast is all sad and pissy because his first love didn't tell him he was alive. What a sham. I told you Beast did not need to be in this Throuple. It's falling apart as we speak. Also the boxing into screwing was weird."
December 16, 2021 –
59.0% "A Beastly Wedding: 5/5 good, I hate that they all got married, this relationship of theirs is terrible, but the scenes are 10/10"
December 16, 2021 –
59.0% "Valentine's Day in the Underworld- 5/5 I love the peak into Aurora and Malone's history"
December 4, 2021 –
53.0% "Baby Talk: 3/5 stars. I'm glad we got to see this little peice of their relationship but I think I would've preferred to see Tink actually already with child. And then maybe have a call back to this conversation. The "in the future" was boring, and we already knew she would have a hard time accepting she was ready to get pregnant."
December 2, 2021 –
48.0% "Rough Day: 2/5 kinda don't understand the point to this short story. no story progression and doesn't really show the build in their relationship either."
December 2, 2021 –
43.0% "Tink's Punishment: 5/5 short but a cute tie up, added that perfect little thing that was missing from the original book"
November 30, 2021 –
38.0% "Going Public Part 2: Hercules- 1/5 stars. This scene was the most boring and mild scene Roberts has written, and it was supposed to be the big display of their relationship. Yikes. Also I'm not sure how this St. Andrews cross thing works but how is he getting "serviced" from both sides if he's strapped to a cross..."
November 26, 2021 –
33.0% "Going Public Part 1: Meg-1/5 I didn't like how short this story was compared to the others in the book thus far. I understand it's to keep their separate thoughts in separate chapters like in the main book, but it's just a little too short to me."
October 25, 2021 –
28.0% "A Proposal: 3/5"

[Iyabo · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’m officially obsessed with Katee Robert. It’s only right that I end my year with one of her books. This book was a combo of all the short stories she wrote in the Wicked Villains series and as a proud new subscriber of her newsletter I am glad she collected them all into one book. It was super cute to see each of the characters get a little happy ending, get married, etc. It’s basically all the epilogues I didn’t know I needed. Also it helped me reach my official unofficial goal of 80 books this year because I flopped so hard. Thanks Katee you’re doing the lord’s work and I love you. To all my Goodreads followers, this is my last review of the year. Hope you enjoyed, see you in 2022 where I will try yet again to make it to 100 books.

[BobbyH · Rating 4 out of 5]

This wasn't the actual book I read as I couldn't find "2014-2019 Holiday Shorts" in Goodreads library, which I've just read. Very quick stories, didn't really go anywhere but still live Mater's offerings

[L · Rating 3 out of 5]

Series of short stories building on the main series. A nice last hurrah with the characters from all the books. Liked how each couple or throuple is living in a way that makes sense to them. Favourite was the 'Ladies' Night in Carver City' short that gathered most of the female leads together.

[Tammy Bertrand · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was a collection of short stories about the characters in the Wicked Villain series. Some were cute, some were a bit boring. Overall, it was a good way to learn a little more about some of my favorite characters from the series.

[Tati Alvarez · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was such a fun read to go back to all of my favorite characters and see what they were up to. Super quick read.

[Katie]

This was a fun little collection getting snippets into the lives of the characters from the series!

[GONZA · Rating 2 out of 5]

Just read the one about my favorite characters, good enough for the ten minutes they last.

Ho letto solo quelle che avevano come protagonisti quelli che preferivo, per i dieci minuti che durano vanno piú che bene.

I know it seems wild, but I don't read these erotic romances for the sex, so these shorts basically did nothing for me.
