( ) This was an amazing, exciting, spicy and happy ending retelling. There’s something satisfying about seeing the roles of hero and villain of fairy tales switched. I loved how James “Hook” is the epitome of morally grey. By the end Wendy grew on me as she came into her own with the help of James. You like spicy spicy retelling then this is the book for you! I won’t bother detailing the unbelievable characters. Contemporary dark romance, my hind foot. This was nothing more than pornography dressed up in costume. The premise - the fairy tale bad guy gets the girl and the only reason it gets 1/2 star - was certainly intriguing. But it ends up being a bad take-off of Fifty Shades. Even more laughable is the author’s ability to insert “cock” and “clit” casually, but couldn’t bring herself to use the word “blow-job.” Either go big or go home. It doesn’t matter to me because I stopped long before The End. The title of this book certainly speaks for itself. He wants revenge, but he wants her more… James has always had one agenda: destroy his enemy, Peter Michaels. When Peter’s twenty-year-old daughter Wendy shows up in James’s bar, he sees his way in. Seduce the girl and use her for his revenge. It’s the perfect plan, until things in James’s organization begin to crumble. Suddenly, he has to find the traitor in his midst, and his plan for revenge gets murkier as James starts to see Wendy as more than just a pawn in his game. Wendy has been cloistered away most of her life by her wealthy cold father, but a spontaneous night out with friends turns into an intense and addictive love affair with the dark and brooding James. As much as she knows James is dangerous, Wendy can’t seem to shake her desire for him. But as their relationship grows more heated and she learns more about the world he moves in, she finds herself unsure if she’s falling for the man known as James or the monster known as Hook. Smut book club dark selection A rather naive Wendy meets Hook - drug runner, murderer, and oh so sexy villain with a grudge against Wendy's father - and she's soon in over her head. But Peter's not the hero of this Peter Pan reimagining, and there's more to the story than faith, trust, and pixie dust. Hooked was fairly dark. I liked the way side characters and locales had names linking them to the overall Peter Pan theme. The sexual tension is great and the writing is high quality. I would read another of her books. no reviews | add a review
