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.
