And the careful build-up to these two tortured people finally realizing they are each other's soul mate, and true love, was a wonderful thing to see.<br /><br />A superb read, and I hated for it to end!<br /><br />Mariz<br /><a href="http://www.blackclouddiesel.com/injectors/" rel="nofollow">Look at Ford Injectors</a>Penelope Sanchezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03732383763497653346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-49539270719225946202014-07-23T11:38:23.494-05:002014-07-23T11:38:23.494-05:00I love that this one is about hook.

The open ended ending has me a bit iffy, but I still think I will give this one a try. <br /><br />Great review! <br /><br />Michelle @ <a href="http://bookbriefs.net" rel="nofollow">Book Briefs</a>Michelle@Book Briefshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05396998660831897334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-33433658951544649242014-07-22T18:38:54.985-05:002014-07-22T18:38:54.985-05:00I'm about to start the print of this soon, and...I'm about to start the print of this soon, and I'm really excited! Glad you liked it! And yeah, Hook from Once Upon a Time is pretty much the best Hook ever. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16802615421436527502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-28007985374512932962014-07-22T14:52:14.164-05:002014-07-22T14:52:14.164-05:00I have this for review, too, but just haven't ...I have this for review, too, but just haven't been able to get into it (or anything right now). I absolutely plan on getting to it, though, and am glad you enjoyed it. The fact that it is an adult novel is what really drew me to this one. I also love the idea of the story being a continuation rather than a retelling, which, from the synopsis is what I figured it would be. As far as the covers, I do like them both, but I prefer the HB. I just love the blue, the trees and the ship on that one.

Tiger Lily and now Alias Hook are on my must-read list! I understand both offer something different, but I'll likely get more out of each experience if I just read the original first. Hopefully soon! Lovely review, Jen! You really sold me on this one. Taking Captain Hook and portraying him as a reformed villain (with the added bonus of romance) is exactly the kind of thing I'd be into. Plus, the background and characterization of Stella is fascinating! I'm glad you found this to be a winner. :)<br /><br />Marlene @ <a href="http://www.flyleafreview.com" rel="nofollow">The Flyleaf Review</a><br /><br />P.s.
