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

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!!

Really delightful read, and super spicy! Love a bratty sub and an easygoing, sensitive Dom dynamic. It's also a fun reinterpretation of the Peter/Hook story!

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...)

This third installment in Katee Robert’s Wicked Villains series focuses on Tink and Hook. Tink is coming up on the end of her contract at The Underworld and has nowhere to go. With Peter actively hunting her, she turns to Hook who protects her in exchange for marriage. It’s pretty similar to the other books- the characters have a hard time opening up and trusting one another beyond their sexual relationship. 

Additional content warning for past toxic relationship and domestic abuse.

If you are this far into the series, you probably know it'll be spicy- but if not then here's your warning. I love Tink and Hook as main characters. The love Hook feels for Tink from the beginning is palpable, and I love a good marriage of convenience. Just be warned that there are some potential triggering topics in this book, so check the content warnings to make sure you will feel safe reading this book.
