Now why did I absolutely devour this hook/tinkerbell smut and explain BDSM scene play to my husband over peel and eat shrimp?

Overall, I believe this is my favorite book in the Wicked Villians series so far. Tink and Hook's relationship had me squealing with the sweetness! Peter being the villain, and being the awful person he was, made me want to continue reading to figure out how things would be resolved. Hook loving Tink regardless of how she had changed, personality and looks wise, over the years was just top-notch!

I love Hook and Tink! I didn’t think it could get better than learn my lesson but worthy opponent had so much more than just the romance!! There was  backstory and real emotion in this one which I really felt it from the characters .
So far Hook and Tink are my fave 🧚🏴‍☠️

I’m not sure if I didn’t like this much as KRs other books because it was my first foray into the Wicked Villains series or if I just found this one sub-par in general. I feel like there was so little tension built between the characters romance and literally zero pining or space for complex feelings.

I did like Tink as a heroine but it was hard to get a sense of who she actually was as a person outside of her trauma and relationships with “territory leaders”. I also super do not understand the world building and politics of this society at all— is this modern America? Is this somewhere else? Does nobody find it strange that there’s a man named Beast????? 

I did appreciate a much wider variety of sex scenes in this one— way more creative and interesting than Electric Heart and Radiant Sun for sure! I also love that everyone in this universe is bisexual, A++ for that Katee Robert!!

A fun and erotic twist on the characters from Peter Pan. Like all of Katee Robert books, it’s full of spice and fun sassy characters. Definitely an enjoyable read!
