I received this book from Netgalley - Marie Hall Publishing for my honest reviewWow! What an amazingly awesome pleasant surprise!Hook's Pan is the final book in the Kingdom series (although the author has hinted there will more). I admit I have read these completely out of order, I had never heard of this series before. But it popped up on Netgalley and I thought it looked right up my alley.A book about Neverland.....and Captain Hook is the good guy .....and Peter Pan is the bad guy? This was always going to be good, add in a broken heart and a fated to be mated type scenario and bam!! This book had me HOOKED! Ha-ha, sorry, couldn't help it.I will say this, Hook has never been sexier. Marie Hall did a fantastic job of making him a roguish pirate, suffering after the death of his mermaid lover 100 years ago at the hand of the evil boy, Peter pan. He is after revenge and who could blame him?Enter Trish, she is swept through worlds to Neverland from her part in a play as...... you guessed it Peter Pan himself. So when she is dumped on the deck of the Jolly Roger she isn't really given a warm welcome, especially in her Peter Pan get up.I absolutely loved this book. It was an adventure, it was an imaginative journey to a place I always wanted to go, and what kid didn't, Neverland! The twists and turns that this book had with Hook being the good guy and Pan being the bad guy just seemed to make sense. I was really swept away. Even Tink was their. The growing affection between Trish and James was addictive, I loved their banter. It was steamy, I was totally fanning myself.Are you looking at my butt?""If by looking at your butt you imply am I looking at your arse, then yes, I am."This story came along at just the right time for me. I love a roguish bad boy. One that can steal your heart with his secret soft side, but on the outside is a devil may care trouble maker, cocksure and totally irresistible. And the things that he can do with that Hook, phew!"Call me a bastard," he growled, refusing to censure his thoughts in that moment because his heart was thumping too hard and his chest aced with something he could not name,"but I aim to ruin you for any other man."For a little while, he has :) Great story I am definitely going to go back and read more of this Kingdom series.
