Hooking Tink

The Lost Girls

by Holly Roberds

A Spicy Hook & Tinkerbell Retelling

𝐇𝐨𝐨𝐤
Three curses. Fifteen years. And only one pixie has the power to free me. Each curse demands a tattoo—a magical masterpiece only one artist can create.

But Tinkerbell isn’t just a fae with a gift for ink and pixie dust; she’s a fiery, sharp-tongued sprite who despises everything I stand for. Convincing her to help won’t just cost me gold or pride—it’ll take everything I’ve got, including my hook.

𝐓𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐥
When Captain Hook storms into my shop, he’s every grumpy, brooding pirate cliché rolled into one, dragging curses and chaos in his wake. I don’t help villains, but he’s offering a challenge I can’t resist and a spark I can’t ignore.

His rough edges and razor-sharp charm are the last thing I need, but fate has other plans. Magic tattoos, a dangerous bargain, and a forbidden attraction—this pirate might just be my undoing.

2.5 🌟

El capitán Hook tiene una maldición, tiene que encontrar alguien que esté dispuesto a romperlas y ahí es cuando entra Tink un hada tatuadora que aceptará el desafío sin saber las consecuencias de romperlas.

No me gustó mucho, siento que los personajes eran muy interesantes y tenían mucho que contar sobre su pasado y como llegaron hasta donde están pero no fue puro sexo, sexo y debería verlo venir pero tenía algo de fé en que no fuera como el libro anterior, supongo que dejaré descansar está serie un buen rato para no artarme de ella.

De la única que conocemos más es de Tink, que nos cuenta sobre su árbol y eso me gustó, además como Hook logra que ella se vaya con ella, me hubiera gustado ver eso pero supongo que tal vez los veremos en otro libro 👀

5 stars!! Devoured this novella .

[Jazzy Mermaid · Rating 5 out of 5]

Abso-freakin-lutely unhinged and magical!!!!!! Hook and Tink are caught between the tides of personal turmoil and the want to find connection. Tink is absolutely sassy and fierce yet demanding and confident. Hook is arrogant and mouthy yet gentle and insecure. Their connection is literal fireworks popping and sizzling on the pages. ✨️📚✨️

Love a Holly retelling. Maybe they will feature in some other parts of stories like Tink did in Feeding Beauty.

[Holly Van Der Jagt · Rating 5 out of 5]

Once again, a very fun and spicy retelling about another Lost Girl from the series. I loved the layout of this retelling! It was a quick read novella but packed a lot into a small package... much like a certain fairy we know.... sorry, I couldn't help myself.

The spice was a 3.5/5 because it wasn't every scene but it took up some landscape in the story. It was necessary and well paced though.

I LOVED the throwbacks too the original and how they tied into this story but were really their own version. I CAN NOT wait for the next release in the series because I am EATING THESE BOOKS UP!!!

All I know is Hook and Tink are on a whole other level of spice. 🥵

I loved reading this after finishing the first three books, and getting a peek into the mysterious tattoo shop owner! And I love that Hook is the perfect mix of pirate and gentleman!

Well, I didn’t quite expect that. 🥵

[WinkingReads · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a quick and fun read. i devoured it so fast because it was that good! Both Hook and Tink own my heart. I love them so much and a big fu to Peter and also their world for making Hook a villain. What these two went through made my heart bleed for them, but thanks to fate, they get their way to each other, which heals the broken parts of them they have had for long🥹.

♡Fav Quotes♡:
"I may be a bad man, Tink, but with you, I could be a little good. I’ll love you more than anyone else ever could because I know treasure when I see it. And I have to have you. I’m a pirate. It’s what I do." ~Hook

"It’s you, James. You make me feel like I’m not floating anymore. Like maybe I don’t need a place to put down roots because you…you might be my home." ~Tink

I love how everything unveils in this book it made its plot development intriguing and interesting. Hook needs Tink's expertise to get rid of curses that shackles him. However, they are not aware of the aftermath of getting rid of them, which results in explosive sexual chemistry!And God were they HOOTTT🥵😩. Don't even get me started on the tension alone!

The book is so well done.The characters, plot and spice are perfection.

4.5 stars

OMG! This started out hot as hell and ended in the sweetest way. Hooking Tink is a fast-paced, super steamy retelling of the relationship between Tinkerbell and Captain James T. Hook.

Tink runs her own tattoo parlor, and Hook arrives hoping her magical inkwork can remove three cursed tattoos from his skin. As an infamous fae killer, he’s the last client she wants, but she’s determined to prove she can handle it.
With each tattoo removed, the magic unleashed sparks a frenzy that can’t be denied. But when the pixie dust settles, what’s left for Tink and Hook?

I took such delight in reading this story. Though it moves fast, I genuinely felt the relationship build, and the ending was so sweet and satisfying.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I’m leaving this review voluntarily.

I’ve only read two books so far, but I am absolutely loving The Lost Girls series! The other books are burning a hole in my TBR so hard, that I may have to move them up the list.

4.5⭐️, 5🌶️ Spicy twist on a classic fairytale! A few elements scattered throughout the pages that are a nod to the original storyline but the rest is completely reimagined. Loved the sassy edge Tink had & the cinnamon roll center Captain Hook tried to hide, even from himself. Nice length, great writing, easy read, & just enough spice. Plus, the spice is 🧯! I mean when that hook comes off… 🥵! Definitely recommend especially if you like a good romance that has a fair amount of spice that is teetering on the edge, flirting with some grey shadows without going full on dark. All while still tying everything into a satisfying plot that makes sense. I started with Hooking Tink & it seems to be a few books into this Lost Girls series so I plan on reading the other books already out. If they are as good as this was, I’ll be thrilled! I do hope there is more in depth world building in the earlier books.

I enjoy the characters in this series so much. This was a great peek into how MMC James (Hook) and FMC Tink meet. I love that Tink is a tattoo artist, and I love how important that is to what happens in the story.

For me, this was one of those reads where you want to explore the characters’ backstories even more and you want to read more about their relationship past the final page because you just want to spend more time in this world.

[Crystal Reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ommmmggggg, this was AMAZING! I loved this retelling mashup of Tinkerbell and Captain Hook! You see these characters in a completely new way and it’s spectacular!

Tink is a feisty tattoo artist with an edge. Her story about how she ended up in Boston, oh my heart broke. But how she uses her magic and tattooing to help sick children, goodness! And then Hook, you always hear about how he is the villian, but in this story you get a completely different side to him. He must find 3 different keys and then he had to convince Tink to tattoo them on his body. Each time they are together, the tension between them grows stronger and stronger. They can’t keep their hands off one another either. They think it’s the “magic” but deep down it’s so much more.

I couldn’t get enough of this story! I loved it. It was raw, it was deep, it was SPICY!

[SJ Torres · Rating 4 out of 5]

as always with Jolly Roberds its a great story. although I have to say there was way more spice this time. I loved the spicy scenes. Tink is amazing. I love that Hook is premiered as a villian but really isnt. its a unique story. hers always are

I LOVE a fairytale retelling and Holly Roberds always delivers ! I am so invested and obsessed with the Lost Girls series I had to read this one!! This is book 3.5 in the series !

Hook and Tink ! Oh my 🥵🥵 a ruthless pirate and a feisty fairy are forced together when Hook asked for help on removing a powerful curse placed upon him by mermaids . Only Tink , her gift and her tattoo gun can lift that but in doing so the magic was unleashed and in turn created an uncontrollable hunger and need for eachother . Three cursed tattoos and three keys Hook is to seek. For each key found the more chaos they were awarded with .

It’s fast paced , great plot and spicy . It was the perfect villain story! Their chemistry and attraction for eachother was off the charts ! The way their banter would bounce off eachother , both fighting for dominance , both a little insecure and afraid to be vulnerable ! I felt their angst and anger that masked their true feelings. His scars are only part of his story , the villain isn’t always the bad guy he’s made to be ..

✨ Thank you Holly Roberds for this freebie!! ✨

First book of the year completed!! Unfortunately, due to life…took me WAY longer than it should’ve.
But…this was a different take on Tink/Hook for sure, and the fairy tale world we grew up with. And yes, very spicy!
It had tropes I’m not a fan of (age gap/Dad vibes…weird to me), and the current time setting (now, or more futuristi), Boston living feel. And when her friends were introduced (other princesses), just their physical changes alone took the magic away for me. I dunno, I guess I just feel like some things shouldn’t be such a drastic change.
That being said, I did enjoy the intentions given to Tink’s changes. Although, just creating her into the world of Tink (maybe a different fairy) would’ve been more believable. Her story alone was solid though, and I just mentally changed her name to Vidia.
I also enjoyed the realism of Hook and the change in his character.
All in all, a happy ending was had (in more ways than one), and it was a different ride.

[Bonnie Sikes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Screw Peter Pan!! We need more Tinkerbell and Captain Hook!! I did have the pleasure of receiving Hollys emails and the behind the writing process and that made reading this SOOOO much better.. be prepared. It’s good. And the Lost Girls make a short appearance!

[Lilith's_Library_ · Rating 4 out of 5]

“This isn’t Neverland, and this definitely isn’t the Tinkerbell or Hook you thought you knew.”

Hooking Tink is not your childhood fairy tale — it’s a spicy, chaotic, and unexpectedly emotional retelling that takes the Peter Pan universe and twists it into something wickedly fun. Holly Roberds delivers a fast-paced novella packed with tension, heat, and a surprising amount of heart. If you’re here for sass, steam, and morally gray love interests with curses to break and grudges to nurse — welcome aboard.

Tink is nothing like the delicate, glittery fairy we grew up with. She’s fierce, emotionally scarred, sharp-tongued, and absolutely not here to play nice. Hook? Oh, he’s broody, cursed, and brimming with emotional baggage. The two of them together? Sparks. And not the soft, fluttery kind — I’m talking explosive, enemies-to-lovers fire. Their banter is electric, their chemistry undeniable, and the emotional undercurrents give the spice a surprising depth. Roberds balances the physical tension with just enough vulnerability to make the romance feel earned.

The retelling itself is a clever twist on familiar lore. Magic tattoos, a key to a curse, Boston of all places — it’s weird in the best way. I appreciated that Hook isn’t just sexy and mysterious; he’s layered, damaged, and genuinely trying. And the inclusion of a villain POV added a fun, slightly sinister edge to the narrative — mysterious enough to keep you guessing.

That said, I knocked off one star because I did find myself wanting more — not of the spice (though that was deliciously well done), but of the emotional build-up. Because it’s novella-length, some moments felt a little rushed. I would’ve loved just a few more scenes to explore their backstories and give the relationship a bit more breathing room. There were emotional beats that hit, but didn’t have time to linger.

Still, Hooking Tink was an oddly delightful ride — spicy, dramatic, and a little unhinged in the best possible way. It’s the kind of story that knows exactly what it is and delivers with flair. If you’re in the mood for something quick, steamy, and just a bit twisted, this one will absolutely hit the mark.

💘 Enemies to Lovers – Tink and Hook start off hating each other… which, of course, makes the tension delicious.

🧿 Cursed Hero – Hook is literally cursed and emotionally tortured = instant dark romance bait.

🔐 Forced Proximity – Stuck together, bound by magic, and oh no… there’s only one way to break the curse 👀

🗝️ Magical Object Quest – A magical key plays a central role in unlocking secrets… and other things.

😈 Morally Gray Love Interest – He’s bad. He’s broody. He might stab someone. You’ll still fall for him.

🧍‍♀️💥🧍‍♂️ Banter as Foreplay – These two argue like their lives depend on it (and occasionally, they do).

🥵 High Spice / Steamy Scenes – This book does not hold back. Expect some open-door scenes with emotional bite.

🌪️ Grumpy/Sunshine (but reversed?) – Tink’s not exactly sunshine, but she is more chaos to Hook’s simmering rage.

🔮 Fairy Tale Retelling with a Dark Twist – A familiar story, reimagined for adults with magic, grit, and heat.

🧛‍♂️ Villain POV / Mystery Antagonist – There’s a shadowy villain giving cryptic vibes… but who is it really?

🧷 Touch Him and You Die Energy – It’s subtle, but oh yes, the protective energy sneaks in.

🖤 Broken But Beautiful – Both leads are damaged, full of regret, and trying (badly) to fix themselves. Together.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Right off the hook (pun fully intended), this book had me giggling. The chapter titles alone sold me. I’ve always loved Tinker Bell, and if you mix that with my obsession with Hook from Once Upon a Time, I was already picturing him as a heartthrob before I even settled in.

The humor is genuinely clever—especially the accents. Some of the lines had me laughing out loud. It has strong fairytale-retelling energy with Pirates of the Caribbean vibes, and at times it really feels like Once Upon a Time in the best way.

What I loved most was how interconnected everything is. The curses, the past betrayals, Peter Pan as the enemy, the loss, the grief—it all weaves together so well. The emotional beats hit hard, especially learning how Peter used her and her home’s power, never choosing her, and the heartbreak that followed. It was sad in that quiet, aching way that sticks with you.

The FMC is a sassy little spitfire, and she absolutely shines. I loved her banter, her confidence, and her bite. Hook is tortured in that delicious villain way, and I’m always weak for a “who hurt you?” dynamic. Him trading immortality for something tied to her past? Romantic. Him seeing her as his treasure? Even more romantic. A broken villain with a soft spot for his girl will always get me.

That said, the spice wasn’t entirely my cup of tea, particularly how Hook’s… situation came into play. It didn’t fully work for me, which is why this landed at four stars instead of five. However, the writing itself flows beautifully, and even when the spice didn’t hit for me, the emotional intimacy absolutely did—especially the aftercare moments. Him helping her bathe? Melted.

Overall, this is a beautifully written, emotionally rich retelling with humor, heart, and a lot of soul. The FMC and MMC’s demons complement each other perfectly, and watching a cursed, broken villain find something worth protecting was deeply satisfying. I may not have loved every aspect of the spice, but the story itself was lovely—and I’m really glad I picked this one up. 💫🖤

If you've read the rest of the series or even just some them this keeps the hook in - and has secured Feeding Beauty's place on my TBR, and for a series of can be set standalone, they have all kept me nterested in continuing the series, some are even in my re-reads wheel.

Now, down the rabbit hole:

It was a quick read, a in-between snack, and if I had to place it I would put it in the Novella category.

I will admit, I enjoyed it buuut, I did wish it had a dug in a bit deeper - which some may take to mean it's lacking but, for me, that is not what I mean in this instance. It is not because it NEEDS more but, just because I wanted more.

The plot has flow and a conclusion that works and Hook and Tink are fire...I just find myself left hoping that this isn't the last chapter for Tink & Hook. If it is, that's okay however - I could do with some sea adventures and/or maybe some haunting from their pasts to come-a-knocking.

Maybe those who cursed Hook are furious when they feel him attempting to break their curses, and they start hunting him and just maybe we get to see some more aspects of Tinks magic, magic or abilities that we didn't know she had and more of her back story to go with it.

Or, maybe they have to go to sea, and Tink finds herself a member of his crew as they have to follow some clues on a magic tattoo Tink finds herself forced by instinct or magic to give hook, or maybe they have to set sail to plunder and pillage in order to save one of the other Lost Girls in one way or another...Who knows, there is so much potential that this could still develop into with these two, annnnd if that happens to include a side quest of Hooks where he pays a visit to Peter Pan...well, I'm there for it, all of it. Any of it.

If you want a quick read that some may say (it's me, I'm some) more spice than plot, dive in and prepare to be hooked into this series - if you aren't already.

“You don’t have to be the villain in everyone’s story” - Tink ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Hooking Tink” is a spicy (🌶🌶🌶🌶), paranormal romance short story by Holly Roberds. It is considered book 3.5 in the “Lost Girls” series of interconnected standalones, as well as a part of the “Fractured Fairytales” collection. A “Peter Pan” retelling, this story is set in Boston, where magical and non-magical beings coincide.

🧚‍♀️Tropes: age gap, he falls first, she-hates-him/he-understands, cursebreaking, HEA🧚‍♀️

Ruthless Captain Hook has spent the past 15 years looking for a way to lift his three curses. He comes to Boston, where Tinkerbell prides herself as a one-of-a-kind magical tattooer. He approaches her with a key and one truth: she is the only one who can end his curses. Despite her hatred of Hook, she agrees to help him, unleashing explosively sexy consequences. One dreams of land, one the sea. Both long for home. Will they be able to lift his curses, or will they be plagued with something new?

The spice level of this book is sizzling. I would gauge it at a solid 🌶🌶🌶🌶. Girllll when those curses break 😰. Lawd. I started to read this in a waiting room for a doctor’s appointment, and I was grateful to be against a wall. Don’t get me started on the “Nub-ening.” I won’t spill it, you just have to experience it for yourself. My husband happened to peek at my book at that part, and I thought his jaw would fall off.

Throughout about 180 pages, Roberds weaves a retelling that brings the “Peter Pan” story to its knees. Peter Pan isn’t everyone's hero, and Hook isn’t everyone's villain. Her retelling isn’t far out of the realm of possibilities, explaining why Tink is in Boston and not Neverland (and how she was affected by his love for Wendy), in addition to an alternative view of why Hook lost his hand (which adds sooo much depth to his character).

I was shocked, choked (by breath), and giggled by this read. This is a quick, though not cozy read, that you definitely need to get your hands on! You’ll be hooked (HAha…sorry! 🤐)

☆ “This will help you stay strong. All you need is faith, trust, and pixie dust.” ☆

Why isn’t this a full-length novel? I want…no, I need all the details! Hook and Tink’s story absolutely delivered in emotion, tension, and chemistry, all packed into a novella that felt far too short in the best way possible. The progression from hate, to reluctant partnership, to something deeper was so well done; it didn’t feel rushed, and every emotional beat landed.

☆ “I don’t need threats. I can make you beg.” ☆

Tink was everything I wanted her to be: a sassy, independent spitfire with a sharp tongue and a strong will. She felt like the perfect modern parallel to the original Tinkerbell: bold, fiery, and not afraid to speak her mind. Hook, on the other hand, had just the right blend of menace and softness. Watching his softer side slowly emerge through his connection with Tink was incredibly satisfying. He may be the villain in some stories, but his actions towards Tink made a strong case for why he shouldn’t be in this one.

☆ “You’re both dark and light…You’re complicated, flawed, and dangerous. But you’re real.” ☆

I also loved the subversion of the traditional Peter Pan narrative. The inclusion of Peter and Wendy added another layer, especially with Peter being portrayed in a much darker, more morally questionable light. It flipped expectations in a way that worked really well for the tone of the story. Overall, this novella was spicy, emotionally charged, and wildly entertaining. If this ever gets expanded into a full-length book, I’ll be first in line.

☆ “You’re a pirate, Hook. Betrayal is practically in your job description.” ☆

⭐️⭐️⭐️️⭐️/ ️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Anything, and I mean anything, that Holly Roberds writes I will read. Her stories are spicy, yes, but that isn’t the heart of her stories. The heart is about broken people finding others who accept them as in. Instead of trying to fix what is broken, these cracks are celebrated, treasured, and perfect in their own way. Hooking Tink fits right into the Lost Girl series and while a short and quick read, I would gladly read a full length novel of Hook and Tink.

I love the way Holly brings two worlds, non-magical and magical, together is a common theme in her books and she does it so well. Set in Boston, I was immediately drawn into Tink and Hook’s story and couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen between them. From the beginning, Tink doesn’t hide her hatred of Hook. When he needs her help, she agrees, but that’s it. Or so she thought. As they work together to undo each of Hook’s 3 curses, their relationship becomes closer and closer to combusting in the sexiest of ways.

This reimagined story with beloved Peter Pan characters definitely turned the tides on characters and reminded us that not everyone has the same heroes and the same villains. Holly took a favorite childhood story of mine and gave it the grown up glow up I desperately needed. And Holly’s vision on how Hook uses his hook….well iykyk….and you will want to know!

Take the few hours you need to enjoy this story! Experience Holly’s talented writing and ability to bring new life to well known stories and characters. This book will definitely have you thinking happy thoughts, provide plenty of pixie dust, and have you hooked on her books.

As always, review any author notes before reading.

even though Tink’s story is a novella … it was perfect for her!

i have read plenty of retellings where Peter is the bad buy & Tinkerbell is siding with him or she “betrays” Peter to go with Hook. i am pleased to read a *different* retelling version with this one! Peter pretty much betraying Tink for Wendy is not jaw dropping new but the *reason*? oh yeah! that was a very heartbreaking moment for Tink & made for an interesting read

Hook is … how do i put this? morally grey & irresistible to Tink even if she doesn’t want to accept it. his “… you’ve never been wristed” line had me 💀!!! it’s unhinged yet funny & definitely an unforgettable moment/trait for him 😆

more mystery surrounding Rapunzel (😭) she shows up again (obviously since there’s scenes at the Poison Apple) & she’s casual with Hook??? WHO is Rapunzel? WHAT is Rapunzel? & i’ll do you one better … WHY is Rapunzel? (😂)

now … as much as i loved Tink’s story i do have ONE major complaint & maybe it’s because she’s magical? who knows … but you mean to tell me from some moves from 3 of Hook’s fingers & she was suddenly “ready” for änäl??? out of everything that could be “unrealistic” *this* is where i draw the line because no fůcking way 💀

end of the day, i really liked this one (especially coming from the disappointment that Goldie’s book was & the “ok” book that Cinder’s was) it’s short & funny with a lot of depth for both Hook & Tink & i was worried for a second there thinking there would be no HEA … but they do get one so definitely happy about that & hopefully they show up here & there in the other coming books

We all know the fairytale of Peter Pan, Wendy, the lost boys and Tinerbell and Captain Hook. This is Holly's version of the Lost Girls. This story focuses on the bad boy, James Hook and Tink, or Tinkerbell.

Tink owns and gives magical tattoos to help others. She does not live in Neverland anymore. Peter Pan is the opposite of what he was in our fairytale. He destroyed so much in her, all for Wendy. It was too huge of a sacrifice; one that will never be returned to her.

One night, in walks Hook with a maddening request. He needs her help to properly tattoo keys on to three curses he received. She hems and haws for the tales of his actions are not good and she knows he is evil. But he finally understands what it will take for her to at least end the first one; her pride.

What happens after will be intense, wild, chaotic and unexpected. Once done, they part ways. A year later, the same thing will occur but there are things that are different. They slowly unravel their lives by talking to each other. Many surprises come about from the telling of the tales.

When it is time to perform the final act, will Hook stay out at sea? Will Tink follow or stay in Boston? Are what they feel real or is it from the curses? Her friends support her in whatever she decides. This is a fast read, high heat in many areas, a love story born from desperation and evil. Is it once-in-a-lifetime? Or will their differences keep them further apart? Can Hook reform? Will he want to?
A great fairytale retelling with surprises along the way that will touch your heart!
