Classic Katee Robert novel. Her books are perfect for when you want that slightly dark, suspenseful, spicy romance. The characters in this one were great, the story itself was intriguing and I loved the romance.

The second book in the Wicked Villains series, a retelling of the Disney film Hercules, explores a polyamorous relationship with Meg and Hades. Hercules, who fled his father's despotic rule (if you're curious, I recommend giving Katee Robert's Dark Olympus series a try), breaks the monotony of the Hades-Meg marriage and manages to unite them romantically, overcoming Hades' reservations that he only wanted something temporary. The polyamorous relationship allows for some very engaging dynamics, a delightful mix of curiosity, experience, trust, consent, power, and submission. As with the previous book, I found the resolution a bit disappointing; I would have preferred a more direct confrontation between Hercules and his father.

Katee never makes a mistake and this one is another proof of it.
The angst between Hades and Meg, the incredible steam between Hercules and both of them, and Meg herself… oh my, I love this.
Also, all the little easter eggs for Dark Olympus makes it even more delightful.
I really enjoyed this.

I ate this book up, honestly ate and left no crumbs.

Every Hades retelling that Katee writes hits so well for me, There's just something about the way she writes and crafts these stories. This book was magnificent and I absolutely loved reading their story!

Thank you NetGalley for the eARC!

I first read Learn My Lesson years ago, and was so excited to see that the new special luxe edition would include annotations by Katee Robert. While I liked the book the first time I read it, but reading it with the author annotations was a completely different experience that I found made the book even more enjoyable. I also really appreciate coming back to this series now that Dark Olympus has been going for so long and seeing how these early Wicked Villains books really did lay a lot of groundwork for the politics.

Learn My Lesson is an MMF romance with two really complex characters, Meg and Hades, who are in a long term relationship that is having some issues. Enter Hercules, a himbo with a heart of gold who somehow can also handle the Underworld, and who is the perfect balance for Meg and Hades. Their dynamic together really works because of Hercules and his intense need for communication, as well as the comfort he brings both of them, but especially Meg (there's a lot of hurt/comfort between Meg and both Hercules and Hades). Like all Katee Robert books, this has no shortage of spice, but I really appreciated the story in here as well. Overall, one of my favorite of this series, and maybe of Katee Robert books overall!

Thank you to SourceBooks Casablanca for the ARC!

I love Katee Robert, and this was no exception. She never fails to entertain. Hades, Meg, and Hercules retelling is such a great set up and the changing relationship dynamics are so interesting to read. The spice is hot hot hot as you would expect. We saw connections to the Dark Olympus series which is very cool, and the series is the parent series to her new series with Wicked Pursuit. Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes a spicy darker romance.

Thank you so much to SourceBooks Casablanca for this ARC opportunity, I am such a big fan of your authors, and really enjoyed this read. Thank you to the author for sharing your work with us.

This was a quick and very spicy read. I don't read a lot of MFM romance books but this book definitely piked my interest.
Unfortunately things felt a little all over the place and the ending felt rushed.

If you're into reading a MFM modern Greek retelling with dom/sub then this is the book for you.

Thank you to SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca and NetGalley for giving me this arc in exchange for my honest review.

Learn My Lesson by Katee Robert was a fun, spicy read, but I think I’m finally accepting that her writing style just isn’t for me. Her character descriptions feel detached, which makes it hard for me to really connect with them emotionally. That said, the book definitely delivers on the heat and had some entertaining moments. If you're into steamy, fast-paced reads with a darker twist on Disney villains, this might still hit the spot—it just didn’t quite stick for me.

My favourite Katee Robert book.

As usual Katee is a master of her craft. I love that she writes characters with emotional intelligence but let's them make real mistakes without losing any of the intensity of the setting or level of spice it invokes. The pacing of Learn my Lesson is so impressive and immersive. It never feels rushed but never drags into anything that feels overly drawn out.

A spicy, surprisingly heartwarming, and consuming read.

Learn My Lesson is probably one of my favorite books from the Wicked Villains series by Katee Robert. This new edition is stunning and I cannot wait to share my favorite books with customers. “Daddy” Hades is so perfect!!

I've loved this book from when I first read it, and it was just as enjoyable the next time around! It's a great addition to the worlds that Katee Robert has built, and as always, delivers on the heat and romance. It's a great twist on popular characters and it's always a home run.

Learn Your Lesson by Katee Robert is a steamy, emotionally charged read with all the delicious taboo tension you’d expect. The chemistry between the main characters—tied together by a complicated past—is explosive, and the spice is top-tier. There’s real emotional depth beneath the heat, and watching the heroine reclaim her power adds satisfying weight to the story. The pacing felt a bit rushed toward the end, which is why it’s a 4-star read instead of five, but overall it’s a quick, addictive romance that delivers on angst, heat, and heart.

Love the new cover. Love the new annotations.

This was such a fun reread and honestly continues to be a favorite. This trio is just everything.

I loved this book! This is the second book in the Wicked Villains series and it ties back to the first in just a very small way. You can read it standalone, but I had a fun time with the easter eggs from book one. I loved the dynamic of two people who have been together for a long time but things are getting stale, so they bring in young new blood that heats them both up. It had a fun little backstory, but is full of smut.

Learn My Lesson is a compelling read for those interested in erotic romance that pushes boundaries and offers a thoughtful examination of unconventional relationships. It’s a testament to Robert’s skill in crafting stories that are both steamy and emotionally resonant.

I adore Katee Robert's writing, and this next installment in the Wicked Villains series is the prime example why! Katee Robert's books are sexy, entertaining, and always enjoyable to read. I loved the parallels to the Hercules story, as well as the ways it changes.

All of Katee Robert's books are really fun, especially with the Wicked Villains series, since they are based on stories we all know, but twisted. These books are full of spice and just an absolute good time. While there are heartbreaking aspects, the story empowers and builds up the characters and is swoon-worthy. Definitely a recommend.

I love every book I read by this author, and this book did not disappoint! I am still newer to the series and cannot wait to continue reading the ones that follow. The way Katee helps us truly feel like we are inside the heads of each of the main characters is absolutely amazing and I love getting to see their stories evolve, both with each other and as individuals. The spice from this author is always 10 out of 10. Just absolutely chefs kiss.
