Book Review: Second Star to the Right

 

What if the boy who never grew up did? Peter Michaels knows he’s Peter Pan. He’s kept this secret his entire adult life until he meets A-list Hollywood royalty, Viv O’Brien. But can he convince her that fairy tales and Neverland exist, and that happily ever afters can come true?

Peter Michaels, Hollywood stuntman and sword fight choreographer, is harboring a secret—he’s the real Peter Pan, the boy who did in fact grew up. Far from Neverland and forced to hide his secret, he distances himself from others for fear of being rejected for who he truly is. That is, until he meets Vivien Kelly.

Vivien Kelly, A-list Hollywood royalty, is determined to branch out into directing, but her steampunk version of Peter Pan is doomed. If bratty kids and demanding studio executives weren’t bad enough, Peter’s generous nature and easygoing attitude are distracting her.



My Review

I really enjoyed this spicy retelling of Peter Pan. It definitely had the spice but also engaging characters as well as humor. Peter is cheeky. He had me laughing. Which I was happy to see him do so as the opening scene was heartbreaking. 

Viv needed Peter in her life. She had kind of forgotten how to have fun. It was nice to see her open up with Peter. Although, whenever they were together, they could not keep their hands off each other. Viv's roommate, Damien can attest to this. Speaking of Damien, he and his boyfriend, Tony were a very nice addition to this story. They also had me laughing. 

If you love fairy tale stories that you grew up on but make it adult version with spice, humor, and engaging characters then you will want to pick up a copy of this book to read.
