I could, at some point grow too old for fairytales and the reimagined tales that utilize their characters, but that is not a point I look to favorably.  Bringing the fifth tale of another Bad Boy of fairy tales, this is the story of Hook, the debased and diabolical pirate with a penchant for cruelty and walking the plank, and a hatred for Peter Pan.  Hook's fairy godmother Danika returns to help (interfere) in yet another one of her boy's lives: hoping to forestall their fate should they not be mated.Trishelle is a human girl with two faces: the one the world sees and the real he, guarded, sad and wholly distrustful of men.  Yet, Danika is convinced that Trishelle's soul is an old one, forever tied to her broken and battered Hook.With storytelling that embraces the fantastic and manages to craft two flawed people, incorporating humor and some snappy dialogue these are characters that feel real, despite the fantasy of their setting and surroundings.  As Trisha and Hook get to know one another in conversation and some truly erotic encounters, they also find their connection and are able to recognize their true bonds. This entire series is fairy tales reimagined for adults, with cameos from earlier characters and a fairy godmother that flitters between helpful and annoying: each installment is a joy to read.I received an eBook from the author for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.
