Cliffhanger!!!! A little over the top
Mr. Rook is a paranormal, romantic page turner loaded with surprises, whit and drama to keep you well hooked . . . and gritting your teeth when you are faced with putting it down for a minute. The crazy thing is you just start believing all that paranormal stuff as you become one with the island and it’s people. Yes, Mimi is crafty that way.
WARNING: There are two more books to this series (book #3 just came out, YEAH!), and I would guess that most readers who finish book #1 will also need to read the other two. Mr. Rook’s story is just that good!
This book series (3 books) was really interesting. I thought that at every turn I felt like I was being pulled in a different direction and I could never make up my mind about what was happening and how I felt about it. It was an entirely different type of scenario mixed in with a little mythical magic and a bunch of unexpected stuff including gangsters. A very good read!
Not a standalone.
Hmm, how this book made me feel… I’m confused. Intrigued. Scandalized? Ok, maybe not scandalized. It would take more than this to be scandalized, but it’s not for the faint of heart. This was one big ball of mysterious possibilities and Mimi Jean Pamfiloff has me very curious to where she is headed with this series. You will need to check reality at the door because what part one is hinting at is pretty out there and yet, I’m hooked. I’m a fan of this authors writing so despite all the crazy things going on, I can’t wait to see what happens next.
This book is highly original and super steamy. Leaves you wanting to know more and intrigued by the secrets going on on Mr. Rooks island 😉
I normally do not read paranormal type books but Mimi is an excellent writer. Great characters, mystery, intrigue, passion. All very well done. Starting book two immediately.
Great book. Looking forward to 2nd book
Enjoyable but a bit unrealistic.
It held my attention and I can’t want for the next book to come out.
A beautiful island with a deadly secret…
Mr. Rook’s island is the exclusive fantasy getaway known only by word of mouth that women are DYING to visit. Imagine if you will, a place like the old T.V. show Fantasy Island with the handsome and mysterious James Rook acting as our host, every person there is to cater to your every whim but something is amiss…
Stephanie Fitzgerald’s older sister Cici won a $50,000 trip to Mr. Rook’s island and never returned home. Believing her older sister to be dead, and receiving no help from the Bahamian authorities in an investigation to her disappearance, Stephanie borrows $100,000 from mobster Warner Price to take a “vacation” there to perhaps discover the fate of her sister. The money wasn’t given from the goodness of mr Price’s heart it was given with promise that she’ll return with the location of the mysterious island and information on it’s enigmatic owner and work for Mr. Price for the rest of her life.
For Stephanie, EVERYTHING is riding on her ability to get close to Rook and find out what happened to Cici.
Loved every heart pounding, action packed and emotionally thrilling twist and turn!
Fantasy Island with an Evil twist
Mimi Jean Pamfiloff does a great job drawing the reader in to her world on Rooks Island in the 1st installment of the series. Stephanie and Mr. Rook are two of the best characters that play off of each other with conflict, attraction, and sex in a way that makes the reader just keep craving more and more from this couple. Can’t wait for book 2, Pawn, to see where things go with these two.
One of my favorite authors, can’t wait for the next book!
