Trishelle Page is a normal girl. She's acting as Peter Pan in a play when this fairy Danika comes and kidnaps her. She is also told that fairy tales are real, and that she is the soul mate of the evil dastardly Hook. But she has seen what pain love can be, and she's not willing to love even if it is the sexy and intriguing pirate who she's crazily attracted to.Captain James Hook is a dastardly pirate, but he's not as bad as all the books make him sound. He's a drunk, and he is trying to forget and get even for past wrongs, when this blonde spit fire of a woman is dropped onto his ship by his fairy god mother. He doesn't want to love this girl anymore than she wants to love him, but he wouldn't mind having her in his bed. It soon becomes clear though, that things may be out of their control when fate and magic get involved.I got this book off of Netgalley for review, and it's the 5th book in the series. Usually I won't even consider it, but since it was for review I read this one even though I haven't read the others. And I loved it. I was "hooked" (please excuse the pun, but there was no way around it. Lol) from pretty much the first page. I couldn't put it down.This is my first ever adult fairy tale retelling that I've read. There are a few on my to read list, but this is the first one I've actually read and I liked it so much, that I think I'm going to have to read some more now. I read this one before the others in the series, but I wouldn't recommend it. I say read the series and start from the beginning. I now plan to go back and start at book one.In this Hook was the good guy, and Peter was the villain. I liked Hook as a good guy. But to be honest I kept picturing Hook from Once Upon A Time. Only because he was the only sexy hook I have seen in anything. LOL I didn't necessarily like Peter as the bad guy, but as long as I didn't really think of him as Peter I was ok.I liked Hook and Trish. They were both sort of damaged in their own ways, and I liked that they understood each other because of it. I also really liked their flirting and flirty bickering. It was cute, and made me laugh.The author took the tale of Hook and totally turned it on its ear. It was funny and sexy and I really enjoyed reading it. If all the other books in the series are this good, then I recommend it wholeheartedly.
