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

I enjoyed this book! But not quite as much as the previous two. Tink very much hold the slightly abrasive personality of Tinkerbell but the CONSTANT brooding and banter was a lot. Hook, even though he did quite a bit of brooding too, was lovable. Both characters kept insisting he was a monster but at no point in the story did it feel like he was lol. 

(Minor spoiler)

As much as the book bought up how big and bad and dangerous Peter supposedly was, he didn’t really do much and in the end went down with ease. Maybe that’s why I didn’t enjoy this story as much. It was a lot of trying to convince the reader he was dangerous by telling us, but there wasn’t much action besides a few quick scenes of him doing anything to make us believe it.


As always, the cameos of other characters were great. I LOVE Hercules and Aurora. And as always the spice was fire. 

Definitely still continuing on with the series!

The beginning of the book felt like if Katee went along with making Desperate measure a marriage plot, but as I got to the middle of the book it felt like it's own.

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 🧚🏴‍☠️

This might be my favorite Katee Robert book.

Loved the plot of this. It got a bit dense at a couple points but it was still mostly easy to follow. The ending was super satisfying.  I enjoyed the two main lovers a lot more than I have in other Katee Robert books.  The body positivity in this one was fantastic.

Loved this!

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!!
