Some of my favorite characters brought to light in a new way. This was the Disney Smut I didn't know I needed in my life. Finally some well written spice!
Katee Robert does a great job exploring BDSM and showing the emotional bonds formed in these relationships. The magic between Captain Hook and Tinkerbell is captivating.
I wouldn't have been mad if it was a smidgen longer to include some more details about things with Peter Pan but the point came across, the plot was there.

My favorite in the series so far! I loved Tink, I loved her friendships with the other Underworld women, and I even grew to quite like Hook. I enjoyed seeing their relationship progress. There were even some especially amusing scenes that made me cackle/snort out loud, so props to Katee for that. She’s quickly rising up on my list of favorite romance authors. <3
If I had one complaint, it would be that this story seemed way too similar to that of the first book, Desperate Measures. The girl’s inner battle of simultaneously hating and being horny for the guy. The guy falling in love with the girl even though he thinks he’s awful, doesn’t deserve her, etc. And the whole shtick with Tink, Hook and Pan felt incredibly reminiscent of the one in DM with Jasmine, Jafar and Ali, right down to the way the final showdown unfolded. So, not the biggest fan of that. I’m really not into authors recycling plots. ://
[Update: yes, technically, this is true, but I don’t care anymore. This has become one of those books where I just love it, even if it has flaws.]
Ending this with my favorite quote:
‘She was earlier, yes.’”
Representation:
- full cast of queer polyamorous and/or polysexual characters (one protagonist is also a POC, and there are Black side characters)
- FMM side throuple
Graphic: Sexual content
Moderate: Child abuse, Emotional abuse, Murder, Death, Panic attacks/disorders, and Physical abuse
Minor: Alcoholism
Contains multiple graphic sex scenes + BDSM. All abuse occurred prior to the story but is referenced throughout, moreso in the second half, but never in explicit detail. Tink has a couple of fairly severe panic attacks.lauren_macauley's review against another edition
