Story: 4/5 Stars Spice: 3/5 Peppers

Book 5 of 5. This has to be the book I dreaded the most only because I knew we weren’t getting the goofy Beau we fell in love with, we were getting a new version of Beau that was tough to like because of what he went through while on deployment. But little Bailey Jansen does a dang good job of understanding Beau and assuring him that this new version of him is quite alright.

Though Hopeless revolves around a lot of Beau’s ptsd, there’s still a lot of humor in it because of Bailey’s non-filter. There are heavy moments, as well as light hearted and humorous moments. While Beau’s brief back and forth was tiresome and the miscommunication hurt, the series is tied up very nicely

* So now we get Beau’s story: the Eaton brother who now has ptsd from his last deployment. And Bailey: the girl whose brothers and dad have beef with the Eaton family 🤦🏻‍♀️

* Feet? Your confidence is skewered because of your scarred feet, Beau?! Seriously?

* I don’t blame Beau for making a scene in the bar. I’m just glad Gary was sober enough to realize he crossed the line. Also glad that Bailey didn’t put up with Beau’s bs and put him in his place.

* Come on, Beau. But also, come on Eaton’s! The only two who don’t tip toe around Beau can’t be just Winter and Bailey.

* Ew. The Jansen brothers brought in a friend to the bar and just sit there as he basically assaults their little sister? Gross. Thank god Beau was still there. Although he’s about to stir up a lot of trouble.

* Damn. So the Jansen dad left town and her brothers, Lance and Aaron, have run of their land. This isn’t good.

* Lol. Beau caught her skinny dipping in the river that runs through Eaton land. And ohhhh, so that’s the bet. I like it. Do it. Please.

* Goddamn. Beau got her an expensive ass ring for a fake engagement. lol. And screw her brothers! They seriously wanted to pawn her ring? wtf.

* Beau and Bailey waking up together had me such in a good mood, only for her brothers to ruin it by trashing her trailer and belongings. Oh, and also finding out that she basically pays for everything while they do jack shit. Ugh.

* I love how Bailey just blurts out random sex questions to Beau when he least suspects it 😂

* lol Jasper called Beau on his fake engagement. But he’s only worried because he knows Beau likes Bailey.

* Lol Beau walked around his naked, fully knowing Bailey was there. Good lord. And she helped him through his ptsd nightmare. My heart 😭

* Damn, Beau. Way to finger fuck a girl and then have regrets about it.

* Willa to the rescue and then Summer as well? I love these girls. I need this fake engagement to turn real asap lol.

* The way Beau shaves her kitty and then eats it up. Damn.

* So beautiful has realized he’s in love with Bailey. Thank god. Now do something about it!!

* Aww. She confessed she’s there’s with him, but I have a feeling he’s going to chalk it up to the orgasm doing all the talking 🤦🏻‍♀️

* Wow. Beau broke my heart as he broke Bailey’s, but it turns out he was really trying to truly ask her out. wtf. lol.

* He finally banged her. Thank god.

* Fuckkkkkkk. Things were going so good. And now Beau’s just let out the secret that HE OWNS THE BAR BAILEY HAS BEEN EMPLOYED AT FOR YEARS!!!! She’s gonna hate him.

* Awww. They worked their shit out together. And he moved out with her 😭

* lol leave it Harvey to drop the bomb that be and Cordy are together at Bailey and Beau’s new place.

* Awww. That was tied up in such a nice way.

Book 4 of 5. I did not expect to like this book as much as I did. Readers seem to have something against kid fics, but I love them and this one did not disappoint.

So, the author did a good job of making Winter seem like an ice queen that I did not know if I was going to be able to enjoy this book. There’s a bit more elaborated about her in another book, but by then I was firmly against her. Thankfully, however, Theo Silva did a damn good job of bringing out another side to Winter that I ended up enjoying.

Theo and Winter are two individuals that should not have worked, but ended up working out perfectly. Theo’s heart of gold helped untangle the mess that Winter’s mother and ex-husband made of her, and just by being herself she managed to tame the bull rider enough to change his ways.

I might have given their story only four stars, but I still very much loved it.

* So this book is about Summer’s bitchy half sister Winter and Rhett’s protégé Theo. Got it. Am I excited? Not really, but let’s do this.

* So the way Winter walked out on Rob, you know the doctor who groomed Summer? Yeah, love that for her. Maybe I will like this book after all.

* Aww. Theo’s such a gentleman, driving in front of Winter so she gets to her hotel safely.

* Lol. So Winter has the divorce papers in her car. But did Rob sign them? And she drunkenly fucked Theo. I approve.

* There’s no fucking way Theo would have ignored Winter like that or texted her like that. So which fucking buckle bunny had his phone?

* Holy shit. EIGHTEEN MONTHS LATER?! We’re jumping that far ahead? I wanted to see the baby bump.

* He doesn’t know he has a daughter!!! And now he thinks he’s too late to swoon Winter back into bed because he just found out she’s a mom 🤦🏻‍♀️

* Well, I’m glad Beau’s back, but I don’t know if I’m gonna like him with all his trauma. Hopefully the girl in his book can bring his goofiness back.

* So Theo knows he’s a dad now and he’s flipping out. Fuck.

* Geoff?! That piece of shit intern from book one?! HE’S THE ONE WHO TEXTED WINTER THAT!? Fuck him. I hope her dad fires him.

* Ugh. I hate that Winter doesn’t think Theo could want her. Her mom and Rob really fucked with her mental health.

* Theo! I love you. I would approve of you being my baby daddy lmao. And I hope fucking Rob shows up just so Theo can kick his ass. Fuck that dude.

* Aww. Theo’s mom Loretta is in town now.

* Man, Loretta and Winter having that talk about Winter’s past has got me emotional lol.

* Ohhh. Okay. I knew Beau went through some shit, so it’s nice to get some clarification about why he hated Winter. Time to get over it, dude.

* Gotta love Harvey 😂 and fuck Kip for staring Theo down like that.

* Finally! Theo got to tell off AND fire Kip. Kip fired Geoff. And Theo got to tell Rob he was fucking his wide before he ever saw the divorce papers. Damn. Hahahaha.

* I love these two together. They’re so cute 😭

* Aww. Theo went back on the road.

* And now Rob wants a paternity test?! Fuck this guy.

* Things were so good, Theo. Why did you have to ask Winter that? Now we’re back to square one of everyone’s feelings being hurt.

* Baby Vivi would say “dada” when he’s not there 😂

* lol. Yay, Winter. You go ream his ass in person.

* She said she loves him and that he and Peter the dog are stuck with her. I’m so happy. Now it’s time to go fuck over Rob in court.

* Fuck yes. I love that “fuck you” to Rob. So happy they reported him.

* Awww. They got engaged.

* Oh my god, baby number 2?! 😭

* lol. Harvey! Don’t be scared to tell your kids that you found love.

Book 3 of 5. Who knew that a hockey player and a ballerina could tug at my heartstrings like this.

Jasper and Sloane lived very different lifestyles with very different upbringings, but they had one thing in common.. they pined for one another.

The angst of Jasper’s past and Sloane’s upbringing made for one hell of collision for these two. It was sweet to see them hold each other together, but it wasn’t all smooth sailing for them.

His self-esteem + her ex, her dad, and her own self-esteem will keep you turning page after page to see how it all plays out.

* So this book is about the family friend Jasper and the family cousin Sloane. Got it.

* Ahhh. So Sloane’s dad, Robert, needs to make work connections and his best way is to marry off Sloane to a friend’s son. Sterling Woodcock. That name is ridiculous.

* Lmao. Someone sent Sloane a video of Sterling fucking someone else the night of his stag party 🙈

* God, Jasper is so gone for this girl.

* Sloane just casually mentioned the engagement ring she actually wanted and I’m calling it right now.. Jasper is going to give it to her in the end of the book.

* Oh fuck. Beau’s MISSING?! He’s on deployment. This isn’t good.

* Damn. So Jasper’s past.. his little sister died, parents abandoned him, and he had to live in a car in the woods until Beau took him under his wing.

* Aww. Of course Jasper’s head isn’t in the game. I feel so bad for him.

* Damn. Now Jasper’s suspended, but only because he didn’t disclose what happened to Beau. His coach is right tho.

* Ahhh. So Cordelia Winthrop is a good one. She’s relieved her daughter didn’t marry Sterling.

* Harvey’s got a missing son but he’s still got enough humor in him to tease Jasper about it Sloane.

* Ohhh. So the road trip is to get hay out to Violet and her husband’s ranch.

* Fuckkkk. So that’s how the little sister died 😭 But it’s not Jasper’s fault! And I hate that, assuming, his parents blamed him.

* I love drunk, jealous Sloane lmao.

* Willa! That’s not the type of facial Sloane is talking about lmfao 😂

* Of course Jasper would only cave after a life or death situation lol. But hey, at least he caved. And doesn’t wanna fuck her on the side of the road. Kudos for wanting to fuck her safely lol.

* Fuckk. So that’s why Jasper hates Sloane’s dad. He threatened Jasper to stay away from Sloane.

* Goddamn. He really jerked it and made Sloane watch. lol. And then she found the tiny ballerina tattoo on him 😭

* They found Beau! Thank god.

* Finally. Now bang it out!

* ..and bang it out they did.

* Ohhh. So they’re prepping us for Theo and Winter with that little scene. Cool.

* God, Sloane’s dad is such a dick. I can’t believe he threatened them like that.

* Holy shit. Sloane’s mom Cordelia left the dad!?! She’s going to stay with Harvey.. and fucking hilarious would it be if Harvey and Cordelia fell for each other.

* HOLY SHIT! Cordelia sent that anonymous video text to Sloane!?!?

* I fucking knew he was going to get her that ring 😭

* Awww. Harvey gave Jasper a piece of land on the ranch to build a life with Sloane.

* Harvey!!! You dog. You’re kissing Cordelia 🙈

Story: 5/5 Stars Spice: 3/5 Peppers

Book 2 of 5. Cade Eaton is the BEST Eaton and you can’t change my mind.

What started off as a hilarious story about a grumpy single dad reluctantly hiring his sister-in-law’s blunt best friend as his son’s nanny turns into one of the most heartwarming stories about family I’ve ever read.

There’s loads of humor, some sweet family moments, a dash of angst, and obviously some spicy smut.

None of the other Eaton boys will be better because let’s be real.. the mouth on Cade Eaton cannot be surpassed.

* Well, that’s one hell of a meet-cute. Willa drops her panties on the floor that somehow made it into her bag and Cade picked them up, not knowing what it was 😂

* Panty guy. Lmao.

* Oh my god. Luke telling that jealous woman that his dad would rather roll around in manure than hire her was golden!!!

* Harvey Eaton is a fucking troll and I love it 😂

* Lance Henderson; Cade’s buddy. Please don’t cause issues 😬

* Oh man. Cade is pining so hard lol.

* That truth or dare game in the hot tub? Dear lord.. 🥵

* Why did Willa freeze when Cade complimented a song where the voice sounded like Willa’s? Does she secretly sing?!

* Willa fucking knocked that kid into the pool for holding Luke under water. God, I love her.

* Fuck. He broke first. He kissed her. And then he ran away. Goddammit.

* Oh my god. These two are perfect for each other. She’s the perfect stepmom!! Why does this have to be complicated 😩

* He turned her down. Twice! Why does my heart hurt? lol.

* Damn. It was game over the second Cade shoved his cock down Willa’s throat on the front porch lmao.

* I fucking love how Harvey clocks everything. He knew Cade and Willa banged as soon as they got off the truck lol.

* Ugh. Talia, Luke’s bio mom, is going to be a bitch at his party.

* Knew she was gonna be a bitch, but Willa was the one who got railed in the kitchen. Goddamn!

* Oh no. They made it seem like Jasper was harboring a crush on the girl cousin Sloane, and now she’s back and getting married?! wtf.

* ..and the bitchy half-sister Winter is back. Ugh.

* So Winter is not the bitch they made us believe, but OH MY GOD! Is Willa pregnant?!

* She is 😭 I understand her giving Cade space but goddammit. I just wanted them happy.

* Luke asked if he can call Willa mom 😭 They had a little girl 😭 They’re a family!!!

* lol. So Harvey went on that date from book one and it was terrible 😂

Story: 5/5 Stars Spice: 3/5 Peppers

Book 1 of 5. Flawless is.. flawless. It’s the perfect romance between a bull rider and a seemingly prissy city girl. But everything is not as it seems, and Rhett Eaton and Summer Hamilton pull you along the ride that is their love story.

There is a little bit of something for for everyone- from family angst/drama to hilarious best friends and older brothers, and heart warming moments between a father and his daughter, and a father with all his sons.

Rhett Eaton is every girl’s country fantasy (hell, I think all the Eaton boys are), and Summer Hamilton is the girl all other girls are envious of. And as their love story closes out, up next is the grumpiest eldest brother. I can’t wait to properly meet Cade.

* Kip being pissed as he watches Rhett diss his milk sponsors on tv while also decking a guy in the face. He issues Rhett a babysitter- His daughter, Summer.

* Lmao. Rhett does not want the uptight princess as his babysitter. Too bad.

* Summer meets Rhett’s dad, Harvey. We like him. He’s upfront and chill.

* Summer meets Cade Eaton and fibs a little about why she’s at the Ranch.

* Meet Beau Eaton. He seems fun and quickly figures out that Summer is Rhett’s babysitter.

* Okay, I love Beau. He’s trying to help Summer wrangle his brother haha.

* The family friend, Jasper, is hilarious. The milky drinks they kept sending Rhett was a riot.

* Aww. They’re getting along. Sort of.

* Finally! Rhett admits he might have a crush after she nearly kills him with a specialized workout at the gym.

* Rhett does good at bull riding competition, but the crowd is lackluster with their cheers. Then Summer whistles loudly, garnering attention, and Rhett isn’t sad anymore.

* She massaged him and he got hard 😂 dumbass.

* I hate that he’s injured and won’t stop bull riding. But I love how invested Summer is and how happy it makes him.

* Okay, so what’s up with the ex Rob? He groomed her? She’ll talk to him at the next appointment? wtf.

* The two are gonna kill me. They’re so cute, sharing a bed and their pasts.

* Ugh. Winter is a bitch, but Rhett held his own. And found out that Summer had his wranglers ad on her wall 😂

* Oh fuck. Rob was her doctor. When she was a TEENAGER! But that kiss between Summer and Rhett..? Okay 😏 I don’t care if it was to make Rob jealous. A kiss is a kiss!

* God, I need these two to hook up asap.

* Ugh… Rhett talking to a buckle bunny.. Summer agreeing to go out with Emmett the douche.. the night is gonna end in a fight.

* That body shot and the whipped cream.. holy shit lol. Emmett didn’t stand a chance lmao.

* Dear. Lord. The whipped cream he sprays into her mouth.. 🥵

* I kiss just beside her mouth. // “Rhett.” // my name on her lips. Fuck. It’s a prayer. It’s a plea. It’s my goddamn undoing.

* Lmaooo. She rode Rhett’s face while talking on the phone with Rob. I love it.

* He kissed her in front of a bar full of people!! Yessss! Now who’s gonna snitch to her dad? lol.

* Leather chaps really do it for Rhett 😂

* Holy fuck. Rob the ex is Winter’s HUSBAND?! And Rhett just outed their past relationship and decked Rob in front of everyone. Fuck.

* Why? Why are people so stupid. I just wanted my babies to be happy. Not crying and sad.

* Oh fuck, Rhett. You used your body as a shield?!

* And then you say those words to Summer to make her go away?! Asshole. I love that Cade chewed you out. You deserve it.

* Way to pour out your heart and then tell Summer you’re STILL going to ride at Vegas. Omg. Stupid.

* He chose her over bull riding 😭

* He proposed!!!!!

* Aww. They made Harvey a dating profile lmao.

PEDRO PASCAL as joel miller in THE LAST OF US S02E01: "future days"

[thatpunkmaximoff]

Story Rating: 5/5 Stars Spice Level: 3.5/5 Peppers

Book one of four; Inspired by Peter Pan and Wendy, The Never King showcases Peter Pan like never before. Dark and broody and wanting something of his that’s been taken, he kidnaps Darling women on their 18th birthday, only to return them with broken minds.

Only, this particular Darling- Winnie- is not like the others and proves it by.. well, I won’t mention spoilers.

But if you’re interested in a decently smutty dark romance, this book is perfect! And definitely have book two ready to go because there is a cliffhanger.

I also have a feeling we’re gonna learn more about Vane given the title of the second book.

* Winnie Darling; love the name. Oh, and we start off right away with mediocre sex. It’s crazy to hear about the Darking women who disappear on their 18th birthday, only to return broken/crazy. Wendy is the great grandmother. Meredith is the mom’s name. Enter Peter Pan who seems hot af. Winnie willingly goes with Peter.

* Peter Pan; bad guy? The Lost Boys; Vane, twins Kas and Bash. Vane likes to make Darlings cry; Kas is a bleeding heart; Bash most likely to fuck Winnie. One rule: don’t fuck the Darlings because fucking Darlings is what got them into this mess.

* Winnie learns the twins are the nice ones, while Peter and Vane are the mean ones. Vane has some type of magic that with just a look, he can make you feel terror like no other.

* Vane, Kas, and Bash are finding it difficult to not fuck the Darling. She moans at the taste of food and Vane’s eyes go black, something about his shadow? Cherry pops up, a woman who has the biggest crush on Vane and wants his attention.

* Sun can kill Peter; pirates are hunting him; magic is waning. What did the Darlings and Tink do?! So Vane looks like a vampire when his shadow takes over.

* Winnie decides Kas might be a weak link because he keeps staring at her body, so she decides she’s gonna fuck him to get him on her side lol.

* Kas and Bash are fae. Fucking a Lost Boy does pan out for Winnie.

* Welp. Bash broke the rule. He fucked Winnie 😂 Peter walks in and makes Bash continue; Bash cums, but just as Winnie is about to cum, Peter pulls her off of him. Now, she’s getting herself off as Peter watches. He then fingerbangs her, reminds her they don’t fuck Darlings, and leaves.

* Winnie befriends Cherry. She talks. A lot. Gets to talking about Hook and slips up, referring to him as “my” before catching herself. Could she be a spy?

* The twins admit to gutting their father which earned them banishment.

* What the fuck is Brownie? Tilly is the twins’s sister, queen of the fae. She wants Neverland under her rule so she’s sabotaging Peter Pan. Peter Pan killed tinker bell. Tilly plans to go against Peter, possibly Hook too.

* Winnie teases Vane. He tries to scare her while pleasuring her, but she’s unruffled. He’s annoyed she’s not scared more. Winnie is trying to get it on with a no-name Lost Boy? Peter is not going to like this.

* “Three, two, one. One, two, three. Better watch out: Peter Pan is going to murder thee.”

* Pan fucks Winnie. Then Bash and Kas fuck her at the same time. Vane spits in her mouth and she gets pissed.

* Vane is known as the Dark One. Peter and Vane kill two of Hook’s pirates.

* Bash and Kas are fae princes.

* Winnie tries to fuck Vane; he denies her.

* The Queen needs to dig into the memories. Why do I get the feeling Tilly made the Darlings mad on purpose?

* So the boys promised Merry, nicknames for Winnie’s mom, that she wouldn’t go insane? And then she did? And wtf, the Death Shadow intervened in the Queen “looking” through Winnie’s memories?!

* Wow. Tinkerbell was in love with Peter, but Peter loved a Darling. So she took his shadow. Bitch.

* Tink was the twin’s mother.

* Winnie helps Peter get his shadow back. They kill the Brownie. Winnie asks to go back to Neverland because she has a feeling Queen Tilly is plotting against Peter and wants to help him.

* Wait, what? Two shadows?!

Book two of four; In this book, we learn more about the characters- where they come from and their family connections. We also finally get to meet Hook and are teased about a future character that everyone seems to be terrified of.

Winnie, who is slowly finding her footing in Neverland, proves to be one of my favorite female characters I’ve read about. She’s not this all-powerful character, but she’s doing her best to hold herself together and prove herself to the boys. Although with the cliffhanger the book ends on, I have a feeling the next one is going to be very interesting.

If you love dark fantasy romance, you’ll love this series, I think. The story keeps you on the edge of your seat and anxious to get to the next page.

* Well, fuck. Peter’s shadow disappeared into Hook’s territory.

* So the two shadows are life and death, and the death shadow just fucking sliced Bash’s throat?! Wtf.

* Lost girls end up in the loft. Vane warns Peter not to do anything because Winnie will be pissed.

* Lol Winnie ran and mauled an unsuspecting Lost Boy. Peter is not happy.

* Damn. Peter really made her their whore and promised he will touch no other. She tried to blow Vane, but he refused. When she continued, he attacked..?

* Vane’s shadow takes over and he nearly kills Peter. Winnie gets him to snap out of it by accidentally stepping on a piece of glass. She ignores the pain but Vane sees the blood and takes control once more. He’s mad at her and leaves.

* So Vane can’t control his shadow because it wants to return to its land. He can give it up, but then Peter wants him to claim neverland’s death shadow. He refuses. Peter wants to call in Vane’s brother, he says no. Peter admits Wendy Darling never went back to the mortal realm, she’s in Everland and Vane’s brother wants her..? Vane and Peter are worried the twins might turn on them.

* Cherry is gonna be a problem when Vane finally gives in to Winnie. Calling it rn.

* Well, shit. Cherry is Hook’s sister.

* Yep. Definitely a problem. She doesn’t want Vane to want Winnie. This is not good.

* Oh fuck. Vane asked Hook permission for Peter to enter his territory to look for a lost Lost Boy. If he agrees, he gets his sister back and Cherry is not happy. Hook somehow knows the real reason Peter wants to enter his land and directs his men to look for Peter’s shadow. He intends to claim it for himself.

* Winnie plans to give Vane the cold shoulder so he’ll want her lol.

* Well fuck you, Tilly. I hope your brothers kill you.

* Vines are not supposed to do THAT! Lmao. And now she’s sitting on Bash’s face.

* Kas comes to the realization that he will choose Winnie over his sister, the court, AND his wings.

* Fucking finally! It’s about time you gave in, Vane. Even if you almost lost your shit and killed Winnie lol.

* If Cherry claims the death shadow in her room, I’m gonna be so fucking pissed. Don’t reward the pathetic girl.

* Everyone is making promises. One is bound to break.

* Fuck. Hook caught Peter’s shadow. Dude just can’t catch a break.

* Fuck you, Tilly. Attacking Pan and Winnie and your brothers.

* Fuck you too, Cherry. You’re seriously hoping the death shadow will kill Winnie? I hope the death shadow lets Winnie claim it. Fuck everyone.

* Anahahahaha. Holy fuck! The shadow claimed Winnie!!!!

* I have a feeling a person has to have been through some shit for the death shadow to let them claim it. We all know Winnie has been broken over and over, and Vane seems like he’s been broken in the past. I can’t wait to see this play out.

Book three of four; In the third book of the Vicious Lost Boys series, we get lots of action and betrayal and some very spicy moments.

Though there are some newcomers to this story, it doesn’t take away from all the others we’ve already met. In fact, it gets that much more interesting.

The Neverland death shadow truly was an interesting entity and I’m so glad it chose who it chose. The havoc it wreaks will make you so happy.

But while I’m happy with how everything turned out, and pretty ticked off about that cliffhanger, I need to know more about Wendy!!!

* I do not like this royal family. The Crocodile better not betray Vane to them over the secret of Wendy or ima be pissed.

* Goddammit, Cherry. You lying white. I hope they banish you when they realize you set Winnie up to die.

* Oh fuck. Peter and Vane fucked Winnie silly and now they’re about to meet her shadow.

* Or not. Come the fuck on. I need Winnie to REMEMBER before Cherry gets away.

* No fucking way Winnie is related to the Crocodile. If she is, that means she’s fucking her great-great-uncle or some shit like that lmao.

* And the Crocodile is in Peter’s territory. Come the fuck on! Vane was going to finally get answers from Cherry.

* Fuck you, Roc, for deciding to go against Vane all because of Wendy.

* I have a feeling the boys are only gonna see Winnie’s shadow when Vane’s life is threatened 😬

* Or not. Peter sensed it when Queen Giselle called out to him. Winnie is going to be possessive lol.

* Holy fucking shit! Winnie killed the queen, almost the princess, and bested Roc. Oh my god. Yesssss.

* Wait, she killed Roc too? No way. And no way Vane will hate her if she did. Right?

* Ahh, so he’s not dead. But he made his way to Hook who almost finished off the job lol.

* Damn. Winnie really got the fucking of a lifetime huh. Lmao.

* Oh good. Everyone knows she has the shadow, she nor Peter want to tell Vane she “killed” Roc, and now they’re trying to figure out how to get the shadow out of her. Also, Winnie remembered Cherry’s hand in pushing her into the room with the shadow. Good. Let them kill her, although I think Winnie will get them to let her walk.

* Are Hook and the Crocodile gonna bang? Hook seems to be staring an awful lot lol

* Well shit. Roc is pissed that Winnie killed the princess because she was his. And now he’s warned Hook to hurry and retrieve his sister.

* Fuck you, Smee. I can’t believe you stabbed Vane!? If he dies…

* Ohhh. So Winnie is Hook’s great-great- granddaughter or whatever. Not ROC’s.

* Oh my god. All these motherfuckers plotting against Peter and Vane are pissing me off.

* Fucking shit. Holt took the shadow from Vane.

* Holy fuck! The Neverland death shadow split between Winnie and Vane!!!

* Fuckkkkk. Why did the Lagoon have to bring back tinkerbell? The lagoon has to secretly hate Peter.

Book four of four; Well, hell. I wanted answers.. and I got some. Most of them. Now I need a completely different set of books the get the rest of those answers lol. Dang it.

But in the final book of the Vicious Lost Boys series, Neverland finally finds its peace. As well as Peter Pan.

The return of Tinker Bell throws everyone for a loop, even me as the reader. She’s dark and manipulative and the entire book has you anxious about what this all means for Peter, Vane, Kas, Bash, and Winnie.

There are few happy moments, but those few are special. Especially that group scene haha.

I am so sad to their story end, but now I’m even more curious about the Crocodile, Captain Hook, and Wendy Darling.

* Aww. We get the beginning of Peter’s story. His mother literally left him on a large leaf and pushed him into the lagoon.

* I don’t like Tinker Bell. She’s gonna be a bitch. And why didn’t the words work on her this time?

* The Crocodile does not like that Hook went after Wendy. They should all just bang.

* Fuck off. She’s trying to entice the twins back to the palace with the promise of peace and their wings. I don’t like it.

* I don’t like doubting the twins, but fuck. Winnie is right.

* I fucking hate that Peter has been reduced to a fucking boy in the face of Tinker Bell. Whatever happens when they go to that palace is gonna piss me off. I know it.

* Well, at least Tilly knows she fucked up by bringing back her mother. And Crocodile feels for her? Interesting.

* I do not feel for Tilly at all and I hate that the twins are at war with themselves on whether or not to help her. I say let her rot.

* Aww. That Winnie and Vane moment was so cute. If anything happens to them, I’m gonna fucking riot.

* Peter better stop being an asshole to Winnie.

* And now is on Team Bash for trying to save Tilly. SMH.

* I love possessive Winnie. lol. I dare Tinker Bell to bring up some sort of marriage alliance. I wanna see Win lose her shit.

* I hate this manipulative bitch.

* Aww. Roc and Winnie sharing a dance. I love it. Peter being an asshole, I do not love.

* Why do I get the feeling the twins having access to the vault still is a trap for them?

* I hate that Tinker Bell has Peter all twisted up. She told him the truth, but what if not completely? What if The Mother is some magical entity and Peter is a fucking myth/legend. I need answers now! And for Tink to die.

* She had their wings destroyed?! Fuck you, Tilly! And I can’t believe Tinker Bells wants her boys to have Peter’s shadow. Even if they do get it, they will never do her bidding.

* Fuck. Peter gave up his shadow and Tink still refuses to tell them where Winnie is. Come on, Win. Be a badass and save yourself.

* Ugh. So I guess Tilly is forgiven now.

* How the fuck do they kill this bitch?!

* And now we’re switching to ROC’s pov. Come on, Devourer of Men. Devour!

* lol wtf. Roc, did you just kill Peter because you had a theory? I hate this.

* Holy shit. Peter’s origins!!!

* So he’s a god after all. And Tilly gave up the throne to her brothers. Not gonna lie, I liked the way Kas told her there was no place for her in Neverland. Serves her right.

* Oohhh. Queen Winnie. Apparently the shadow likes the sound of that. And all four men on their knees before her.. holy shit.

* What!!!! I need the next book set asap lol. I need more of Roc, Hook, and Wendy. I fucking knew he was attracted Hook 😂

My Review: Oh wow. This book is everything! I loved it so much.

Wish I Were Here is such a heartwarming, slow-burn romance (w/o any spice) that will make you smile, laugh, and cry! Catherine and Luca are quite the opposite of one another, but they just work so well together. And don’t even get me started on Luca’s heart of gold. Seriously, he is THE best book boyfriend I’ve ever read. So adorable.

But don’t let the cuteness fool you. The mystery of Catherine’s sudden loss of identity will hold you captive and have you turning page after page. There’s also a certain genre that makes itself known that will have you either piecing it together early or left gasping. I totally called it and I was so happy to have been proven right haha. You’ll know what I mean when you pick up this book and read it.

Spoilers below the cut -

* Luca asking old Mrs. Goodwin to switch pants with Catherine 😂 and then Mrs. Goodwin being somewhat scandalized by Catherine’s choice of underwear; a thong lmao.

* I don’t like this Dr. Gupta making Catherine write the entire paper where his name will be put first on it. He sounds fishy.

* Yikes. Her dad, Andrew, is totally the laid back, chill dude. The total opposite of Catherine. And he’s embarrassing her in front of her boss Dr. Gupta.

* Yikes. The dad is.. complicated. I’d be annoyed too.

* Not Luca being genuinely happy for Catherine. I want one of him.

* And now Luca’s gained another older person- Sal. wtf 😂 is he just collecting old people?

* Man, the more Catherine reminisces about her dad, the more I do not like him.

* Nobody, wouldn’t it be nice? Yeahhhh, I have a feeling she’s about to get her wish.

* If something isn’t going on with Luca, then he’s really annoying the shit out of me. I get being carefree, but you’re the doorman for a building full of old folk. You can’t slack at helping the old folk.

* “There’s no record that you exist at all.” — well, shit.

* So she’s kissed Luca before? When she got the apartment and then just never brought it up again? Bummer.

* So Dante, the mysterious repair man that never actually fixes the elevator, is Luca’s cousin? Does Luca’s family own the building and that’s why he’s so carefree about everything pertaining to his job at the building?

* Luca having family all over town is funny. He’s definitely rich living a “poor guy” lifestyle.

* Dr. Gupta being pissy and ready to replace Catherine is rubbing me the wrong way. I don’t like him.

* Why is Catherine’s dad so cagey about the mom? wtf is going on?!

* The way Luca casually tells Catherine to not worry about rent is really cementing my thoughts about he or his family owning the building.

* God. I need someone like Luca in my life.

* Him introducing her to his family is so cute! They keep embarrassing him and now are going out of the way to help Catherine discover her identity.

* I’m not gonna say why I think this, but I have a feeling Sal is Luca’s grandpa. You know, the dead guy.

* Wait, what? Her copy of her birth certificate says her mother is one person, but the hospital records says it’s another? wtf is going on?! Did they have a surrogate?

* Aww. The rooftop scene! And the kissing 😏

* Catherine offered Luca a butterscotch that Sal gave her and he thought she found it in the seats? Sal is grandpa! He’s a ghost!!!

* So the grandmother is a bitch and totally knew where to find Catherine’s mother. But why doesn’t anyone want this meeting to happen?

* Well at least her mother didn’t rage for being found. And she wants to meet. That’s.. good?

* So Mrs. Hartman, the old lady who is apparently breaking the elevator, IS A GHOST?! So is Sal, I just know it. I fucking called it.

* Alright, so the mom.. I don’t like her. She she’s hesitant to spend more time with Catherine and Luca was right. She’s cold. And now I hate that Catherine is comparing herself and Luca to her mom and dad 🤦🏻‍♀️

* Yeah, no. The mom is bad news. She’s making Catherine question her situationship with Luca and she’s only gonna let Catherine down. The dad was right to never bring her up.

* ..and now she’s miraculously back in the system. Luca’s uncle and Mrs. Goodwin are more excited for her than her bio mom. Ouch.

* Thank god she stood up to Dr. Gupta. And he didn’t lash out. He seemed to approve.

* Of course the mom is a no show. I’m glad Catherine sees her for who she really is now.

* And I fucking called it! I knew the Morelli’s own the building she lives in lol.

* Also, Luca had a heart of gold and I need him.

* Sal was his grandpa 😭

* Oh my god, they’re together a year later and Luca saw his grandpa. I’m not crying, you are!

You know, I think he totally likes you still. He's calling you by your last name. That's not a thing, Peter.
