Idk James just seems like he's too emotional and messy to be THAT... good at his job. I mean he loses his temper really easily and is really messy. Idk it just seems like his employees or whatever would see his weakness or there'd be a shit ton of evidence everywhere especially on him.

I've read quite a few (M/M) kind of BDSM(ish) books. I thought about this even as I read them but I can't figure it out. For some reason I find it... easier to read and enjoy when it's 2 guys. I don't know what it is, maybe that I'm a woman myself? I'm honestly not sure. With this book also it doesn't seem like a relationship of equals (atm I'm 45ish% in the story, it might still change, we'll see) (at 100% finished, it got a little better but there was barely any relationship building so I didn't really feel anything for them so..)

And where is the protection? Y'all just gonna bone without a rubber? And no TALK even? Y'all, not cool

<spolier> I feel like the scene of when James is threatening Wendy would have such a bigger impact if they'd had just a bit more between them. Like as in trust and relationship and feelings. It would've just been beautiful and heartbreaking instead of just... awkward?

Her time being held captive it's very tell don't show about the torture and pain of being alone in the dark and I didn't really feel anything

Moira reminds me a lot of Maria
This ⬆️ is an actual quote in the book. Maria and Moira. Two women, both of who were bitches to Whatshername because they wanted to hook up with Hook and had barely any other personality even though

Moira was literally a traitor, STILL wanting into Hook's pants was her main personality trait?

Well, that was disappointing. I kept thinking Hook was going to redeem himself and the only thing that was redeeming was “he wasn’t as villainous as the others” and my god Wendy was so stupid. Nope. Not for me.

The spice in this book was perfect for my steamy little heart. 
I kept  seeing this book and caved. Which I don't  usually  do with popular books. It did not disappoint. 

Every element  that got pulled in from the Peter Pan world was a good use for the plot overall. And this was definitely a easy standalone read that's different.
