But when Jill is caught between husband and paramour, her idyllic days turn into nightmare. Even in this generous land, Captain Hook is a dangerous man. The lonesome Captain Cecco rescues Raven, an Indian widow who diverts him from his obsession for Jill. But Hook, too, finds Raven tempting. As his need for her heightens, so does the rivalry of Jill’s tempestuous men. Jill’s own charms turn against her when a clever hunter from the Indian tribe stalks her heart. As tribal taboo is violated, the balance of the Neverland shifts like an overturned hourglass. Left on her own in an amorous trap, Jill must conjure her most potent magic. The enchanted isle can be open-handed with hospitality, and with treachery, too. In order to thrive— or survive— Hook and Jill, like their allies and adversaries, may be forced to give as liberally as their Island. Jill’s kiss may bring bliss or a curse, yet one thing is certain. Whatever else might be lost, Captain Hook never loses command. Other Islands, Book Three of the award-winning Hook & Jill Saga, is a worthy sequel to the series’ preceding masterworks. Lush with literary elegance, this story explores forms of generosity— usual, and unusual. Andrea Jones re-imagines J.M. Barrie’s timeless island, “always changing, yet ever the same.” less
