She’s got a beautiful life. I’ll gladly burn it down to save her.
She’s been a thorn in my side for as long as I can remember—Belle Barrie. With a smile that shows a sweet disposition. And a body that invites total depravity.
Belle thought she knew my world. Thought she could play with the big dogs. When her boss decides to play me, she’s caught in the crossfire.
Now we’re talking about a full-fledged gang war. The kind that mows down innocent bystanders.
Her life as the bargaining chip.
Everyone knows I’m ruthless. I’m a cold-hearted killer. My rise through the family is followed by a trail of bodies. Yeah, some are women. The ones who thought they could trust me. They paid for that mistake with their lives.
Now, there’s just one more debt to pay in blood. I need to be the monster I am. Not the man I want to be for her. If I win, I’ll have everything I ever dreamed of. But if I do that, Belle will die.
And I’ll lose the only woman I’ve ever loved.

This book honesty was so cute. I loved the character development and the overall MMC was such a golden retriever vibes that it killed me 🤭 I can’t wait to read more of her books and see if I can figure out the ending before it comes 🤪
okay…. it wasnt bad, it was def what i was expecting. quick paced, easy listen however, if anything was going to be labelled as insta-love this book would be it. they sleep together once after talking for 2 minutes and now he loves her and was willing to give up everything?????? i did like the idea of this book i just think it maybe could have been abit longer to make the story abit more believable?
***one final thought, some on the words used during spicy scenes should be banned, not limited to ‘twat’ ‘button’ ‘seed’.
No because the way this woman writes sex scenes should be considered a form of torture, the amount of second hand embarrassment and cringe I feel reading this smut is insane, phrases like "little woman in the hood" should not be used while describing sex. It did get better towards the end, but it's so unrealistic Istg- no honey you don't fall in love after getting your dick wet, and the proposal right after sex is not it either.
✨✨✨✨✨✨ This audio series I’m series becoming obsessed with! Belle is one strong FMC that has my mouth dropping at so many points! What a baddie!! Peter is such a great MMC. He’s never challenged but Bellé is about to be his biggest one. These two are together are just everything. It’s intense, hot, so so steamy, and their chemistry will have you burning. The suspense in this one had me on my toes. This for me was a one sitting audio read and I instantly will be starting the next book!

If you like Peter Pan/Hook fairytale retelling genre with a modern mafia twist this one was a fun read. With the Peter's whimsical attitude that ended up being dark in a mafia-ish way, his youthful hope was concentrated on loving and keeping Belle. Their push and pull power plays got out of hand and started a mob like war between the ruling mafia factions. Playful titles tied in with the whole Lost Boyz, Croc, Hook, down to good ole Smee and Wendy were included in this colorful cast of characters. The dark passion and erotica between Belle and Peter was convincing with Peter declaring his love and devotion sacrificing everything for their HEA. A very adult fairytale.

Peter and Belle's story is an intense ride full of passion and suspense. Belle is a strong woman, who goes after what she wants, and Peter is a man who isn't used to women presenting him with a challenge.
Belle and Peter's first meeting is intense and powerful. Their chemistry leaps off the pages. I felt the impossibility of their situation and devoured the book, needing to keep reading to see how they would be able to find their HEA.
The sex scenes in this book are lengthy and scorching hot, but there is a good balance of action and intimate scenes, with neither one weighing the book down.
Overall, this is a well-written, intense romance with great characters and non-stop intensity.

His Tinkerbelle. What a twist of the fairytale. I enjoyed this book! The adventures and the characters were amazing. I was caught up in the story because I didn't know how Peter and Belle was going to make their attraction work given the fact they are on two different sides of the road. Following your heart was the reason Belle put herself in harms way, and Peter knew he had to go and rescue Belle because of love. This book is a must read series!

2.5⭐️ Peter and his boys are fucking annoying! At one point I was rooting for the Bratva to kill him because I he just annoys the shit out of me. Bell is bad ass bitch! She took out six Bratva all by herself as well as her boss and then took over his fucking club. She is the only reason this book is getting 2 1/2 stars!
🌶️🌶️/5 You can’t tell me that Peter is the dominant partner in the bed because he gives bro vibes and I don’t think he could find the G spot if it was on a map! This book would have been 10 times better if Bell was Dommy mommy the entire time… there were switch moments which were fantastic though
This is a great story. It is the story of Belle and Peter. They work across the street from each others, they work for rival bars. I read His Little Red which is the first book in the series. They are both really well written with great characters. These stories are based on fairy tales but so much better. They have more action, twists, turns, excitement, and of course enemies. Great book with great characters. This series is off to a great start.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. I thought that this darker romance between Belle and Peter was well written with great characters. It was a little twisted fairy tale themed, but still its own story. They are on opposite sides of a rivalry and the street literally. There are some twists and turns that will keep you glued to the pages. Peter and Belle have a lot of obstacles to get thru to find their happiness.

I voluntarily read and reviewed this as an ARC This is an exciting new twist on a favorite fable. Peter and Belle are on opposite sides of a long standing rivalry. These two are both stubborn and do whatever it takes to get the job done. They clash from the very beginning but their chemistry and passion is absolutely combustible. Add in characters from the original tale, but grown up and not so innocent, and Vivi Paige has a winning new addition to this series.
A great twist on Peter Pan. Belle took over for her father and started working for Crenshaw Hook owner of the Jolly Roger club. Peter Mayne owns Club Lost, and it’s across the street from his enemies club, the Jolly Roger. From the start there’s something that draws Peter to Belle and the two together are explosive. An exciting mafia read with a twist!

Really liking Vivi Paige. This is the second time that I have read a book by Vivi Paige. And it is just what I wanted. Is a dark read, but no over the top so. Peter and Belle should be enemies, but are anything but. A book full of steamy scenes, but also villainy. This was an exciting read for me.

This is the second book in the series but it can be read as a stand-alone. Belle and Peter work and rival clubs and then her boss gets in trouble with Peter and they are on the verge of a war. Will Belle be caught in the middle and can Peter keep her safe? Fast-paced read with loads of drama, suspense and intense chemistry. I loved it!
The author incorporated a dark intensity in the pages of this book. I felt her fear as her thoughts and actions played out. The story progressed into a forbidden love story with a twist. The author took me by surprise but it was fascinating to realize just how far the author would take our couple. Very entertaining.
I requested a copy of this book so I could provide an honest review.
A modern and steamy version of Peter Pan. Only in this book Peter is a bit of a gangster and a club owner. In true Romeo & Juliet style the object of his obsession/affection Belle (FMC) is working for his enemy Crenshaw Hook. Worlds and Violent gangs collide with Belle stuck right in the middle of it all. A great read with plenty of steamy scenarios. Loved It

A wonderful well written twist on Peter Pan and Tinkerbelle's story. This engaging storyline has action, drama, adventure, and lots of twists and turns. The characters are well developed with chemistry as they are opposites in personalities and business on a journey of combustible passion to their HEA. I voluntarily read and reviewed this ARC.

Looking for a fast-paced, spicy twist on Peter Pan? Well, this is your book! Don’t expect a full-blown retelling—think of it as Peter Pan’s edgier cousin who borrowed some names and vibes. The story is decent, the smut delivers, and it’s perfect if you need a quick, steamy escape. Just don’t go looking for pixie dust-level depth.
When I started reading this story, I could not put it down. I read the book in one day. This author is an awesome writer. I can not wait to read more of their books. Keep up the great work. You should definitely read this book.
This is a so modern take on a classic fairytale except with much more excitement, steamy chemistry and alluring intensity. Bella and Peter are on fire. I’m still fanning myself.

This is a dark(ish) Peter Pan re-imagination & I absolutely loved it! I like that it's not like the other similar books I've read where the villain gets the girl. Instead, both Peter and Hook are both "bad" in their own rights.
So, the book to me felt a little… cringey? I loved his little red because it had the fairy tale undertones. But this one was straight up “HEY! Here’s Peter and tink and Captain Hook and Wendy and smee” also, not enough smut in my opinion.
