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!!

I do very much enjoy this whole concept of hot stories about Disney characters in an absurd enemies-to-lovers somewhat real-world mafia drama that mostly takes place inside a sex club. The plot is not great and maybe I noticed this time for the first time, how cringe it actually is. Maybe the third novel also just has the thinnest plot of them all. Maybe I was regularly too uncomfortable about the very serious overtones of past abuse and violence within a romantic relationship which constitutes one of the main themes in this novel and quite frankly made it difficult for me to not continue pondering about during the still very much well-written smutty scenes.
I liked Hook and I am very grateful for the realism with which Tink and her trauma are portrayed. She is complicated and fragile while simultaneously being very tough and walled-off and I appreciate this depiction so so much.
There is no question I will continue this series soon. I adore it way too much. However, I am a little more weary and hope that the next books in the series will be less heavy from trauma-related topics and more silly mafia-drama again (even though I really do not enjoy this part, I am just here for the well-written kink, but honestly I do prefer those cringy cute power-politics amongst gang leaders scenes over the heaviness that weighed on A Worthy Opponent.

I especially loved that Tink is a plus sized woman, and this is all described beautifully. In fact, I do adore Katee Roberts for that as well, for the representation of different kinds of bodies. Doesn't happen enough!
Also has some well-executed tropes (enemies to lovers, forced marriage).
5/5 for spice again, I smiled a lot reading this, though will say that a serious CN applies for an abusive ex (physical and psychological abuse, physical violence and kidnapping...)
