Pan - Review

Pan (Neverland #1) by Gina L. Maxwell 

Kindle Edition
Published January 22nd 2019

From NYT and USA Today bestselling author, Gina L. Maxwell, comes a brand new series with a fresh twist on an old classic.

Once upon a time, in Neverland, North Carolina--I fell in love.

I was twelve when Peter first climbed up to my balcony.
Thirteen when I sneaked out to see him at the School for Lost Boys.
Seventeen when his touch made me fly,
And eighteen when his words made me cry.

We were magnetic, drawn to each other from that very first night, and what I thought would be forever. But when it came time for me to leave, he wouldn't come with, so I left town with a map for my future and a shattered heart.

Ten years later, I've returned to Neverland, hoping to find a man in place of the boy.

Peter was partially right, growing up is no fun. After quitting my fancy career that sucked the magic out of life, I'm now organizing the fundraiser of the year. In a move that could make or break the event and my new company, I've hired Peter, master mechanic and owner of LB Automotive, to help me pull this off--trusting him to rebuild a classic car for the auction that could help hundreds of foster kids in need.

I thought I was prepared, but the boy who refused to leave is now a man hell-bent on getting me to stay, and as sparks fly between us, that undeniable fire flares back to life, deeper and hotter than ever.

But that ripped body doesn't mean Peter's matured enough to make us or this event work, and not everyone in Neverland is happy about my return.

Not every wound heals.
Not every heart can be fixed.
Not every boy grows up.

And after all this time, the love we found might be lost to us again...this time, forever.

*Pan is an adult contemporary romance retelling of Peter Pan, complete with Wendy, Hook, Tink, and all the Lost Boys as sexy mechanics. There are no fantasy elements in this world, other than the "magic" that happens between the sheets. ;)

Ok so MAYBE I'm a little biased on this because I happen to have a BIG love for all things Petar Pan BUT Gina Maxwell has done a PERFECT job at giving us a great grown up story! And has the boy grown!

Peter grew up in foster care with boys and Tink. Wendy was their only scape, the only way in wich their torment was put aside for a while but they came from very different worlds and ultimately that was what kept them appart... until now.

I couldn't put this book down! The characters that we have grown to love are all there, and Gina has made them real, adults, unique in her way and still they keep their scence. Peter is this carefree guy that any girl would love to lose herself in for a while but he's still brave, a fighter and does everthing for the ones he loves.

Wendy is still the responsible woman you know she grew up to be. She plays by the rules with a wild streak.

This retelling is everything any fan would love form a retelling story. While there's no magic, the story keeps the right elements to be true and faithfull but still has a lot of surprises to keep the reader engaged and the story like new. Even if you are not a fan of these characters.

Pan is the story of starcrossed lovers. Young love that never dies and an epic love story that will keep you reading and glued to the pages.

I can't wait to see moe of the people from Neverland and what they are up to.
