Hook/Tinkerbell dark romance, forced marriage, brat taming and BDSM. Domestic abuse recovery. 

This book was, for me, on par with Desperate Measures. However, because of Tink and Hook's appearances in previous books, they have more depth and are therefore more interesting than Jasmine/Jafar. Think and Hook made for an interesting adventure, but personally just still didn't quite hit like Learn My Lesson did. But now I'm super excited to read The Beast to find out what happens with Gaeton.

This is possibly my favorite book in the series so far. I loved the spin on these characters story and the little references to the original story and characters.

I loved seeing Tink fight to accept her own love for Hook after her abusive relationship with Peter. Seeing Tink Fight to put her full trust into someone else again. Especially hook despite trying to help Tink get out, since he worked around Peter until taking control of the territory and forcing Peter out. And Hook was just amazing. You can tell he truly loves Tink throughout the entire book. And how he didn't just marry Tink for convenience that he married her because he loves her and wanted her. But how he was willing to set her free if she chose to.

Despite the craziness with Peter and the dark spin on this tale, this was a really sweet and beautiful story.

Overall I really loved the story and would definitely recommend reading it.

dark funny fast-paced

5.0

Really great semi-enemies to lovers story! I love the way this series flips the idea of villains on its head, but also doesn't sugar coat them. Tink and Hook are so hot together, it is ridiculous. A perfectly imperfect pairing. I loved that Hook gave her space to sort out her feelings. They both had some past trauma to work through, but they gave each other the space to do so apart and also together.

I really, really love the world that has been built in this series. The territories are a really interesting background to these stories. I love all the side characters and can't wait to see if they have their own stories. Gaeton was a great character and so is Aurora.

This series is just so very delicious!

I’ve always had a weak spot for Hook and this was no exception! Probably my favourite of the series so far.
