The Fae world is split into three divisions. The Black
Court ruled by Titanna, the White Court by Gloriana, and
the Gray Court ruled by Oberon, who as decreed by the Gods
themselves have final say when the two queens cause trouble
for each other. And when there is trouble for Oberon, he
sends THE HOB to sort it out.
Robin Goodfellow, THE HOB, or the Hobgoblin of the Fae
world is sent to Philadelphia to find and rescue the nephew
of Gloriana who has been kidnapped by Titanna. His job is
complicated by a new and untrained "partner" Kael and the
meeting of a dark haired beauty that he has been dreaming
of and a rival for that beauty. He is also in for a very
interesting time because at the place of the negotiations
there happens to be a fairy convention going on.
Michaela Exton is a level headed pediatric oncology nurse,
who just happens to have a love for Robin Goodfellow. Not
that he really exists, but she has dreamed of him since she
was a child and often takes exception of the portrayal of
her hero in various stories and plays. When she meets up
with dark haired "Ringo Midori" she thinks she found a real
live Robin Goodfellow. Little does she know that it is
Robin in disguise. She also meets another man that she
likes an artist named Raven McSweeney, also a Fae that she
doesn't realize is real. Michaela is in for a very
interesting and flaming convention.
THE HOB is very intriguing and at times very funny story.
It's different from any other Fae or Fairy books I have
read. The wording is easy to follow and the warning from
the front of the book is real... it is hot! Author Dana Marie
Bell can certainly hit all the notes that a woman is
looking for, romance, fun, hot intimacy and scary moments.
Something I don't normally like is the touch of a
cliffhanger at the end, but it didn't affect Michaela or
Robin's story so it was all right. I will look forward to
more from this author.
When the Black Queen kidnaps one of the White Queen’s
nephews, Robin Goodfellow is sent to ensure that the young
prince safely returns to the bosom of his family. True to
his role as Oberon’s Hobgoblin, he is ready for anything…
except meeting his truebond, the very delicious, very human
Michaela Exton.
Michaela has dreamed about a flame-haired rogue named Robin
Goodfellow since she was a little girl, but everyone knows
Puck doesn’t really exist. In real life, it’s a dark-eyed
man named Ringo who makes her heart beat faster.
She is closer to her dream man than she thinks, and nobody
knows it better than Robin, who wears the guise of Ringo.
But there’s competition for her love in the form of Lord
Raven, who holds a secret that will rock the foundation of
Robin’s world. As a Black Court delegate does the
unthinkable, leaving an enraged, grief-stricken Robin
hanging onto his humanity by a thread, only Michaela has
the power to bring him back from the killing edge—if she
survives.
