julmergens's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 55%

Boring. No plot. No chemistry 

First off this book had me “Hooked” pun complete intended!!

Ok I loved this book it was so much better than I expected based on reviews! I am definitely more of a villain gets the girl girly it’s just is much sweeter when the big bad villain falls for the fmc.

I love James/Hook and how we get to see him changing throughout the book. But for real the smut is on point too and he has a mouth on him!

Great plot twist I thought I knew what was going to happen but I was wrong and I was not mad in the least about it!

OK, I didn’t want to like this book as much as I did, but I liked it. It was definitely better than the Emily Henry book so I guess I like it a bit darker. 

It was dark and murderry with a spicy romance. Surprisingly entertaining.

3.5 stars rounded up! I’ll write a full review tomorrow

Not for me. I agree with other reviewers that the stakes were too low. I liked the concept but there could have also been more depth to the characters.

Had to read it for my Bachelorthesis
The parts were no genitals were mentioned (although there weren't a lot parts without them) were.. okayish? 
I don't see the appeal at all, but I thought I would give this genre a chance (and get my thesis done with that hahaha) 
Didn't make sense in some parts for me, characters were weird sometimes and shallow sometimes?
Views on gender rolls and the replication of these were weird

Everyone needs therapy
