I can not elaborate on the plot more than the blurb because I am scared of spoilers. Needless to say this is the conclusion of Rook and Stephanie's story and boy it's a doozie. I was able to guess certain aspects of the story just because in my mind that was the only way it could have happened. But the end left me all giddy and satisfied.
MJP writing as always is tremendous, her active setting sweeps you away to that Fantasy Island. First person POV that alternates between Stephanie and Rook, which is the first time we get Rook's perspective on things and that really adds to the story. Of course no MJP story would be complete without the smartassed heroine, Stephanie, making inopportune remarks, which gives this dark romance a great sense of humor. For all the twists and turns and the merry chase MJP led us on it ends fantastically.

From NEW YORK TIMES Bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff, Comes Part Two of Mr. Rook’s Island, a Sexy, Dark, Romantic Suspense.

SHE KNOWS HE’S BAD. THE QUESTION IS, HOW BAD?

Stephanie Fitzgerald is nobody’s pawn. Determined to discover the truth about a missing loved one, she lands a job at the world’s most exclusive resort, working for the only man with the answers—Mr. Rook. He’s shockingly handsome, thoroughly intimidating, and completely off-limits.

But the truth she seeks isn’t black and white, and Mr. Rook is a far more dangerous temptation than she ever knew.

Will Stephanie resist her desires, or will she be lured into Mr. Rook’s world of hidden sins? 

I can't really divert away from the blurb to much without revealing too much of the story. I will say that Mimi Jean Pamfiloff seamlessly blended together King, Mermen, and Fantasy Island to make a mysterious island with more secrets than El Corazon and a man with all most as many than King.  

Classic Mimi, seriously she is the mistress of answering question with more questions and leaves you satisfied but still wanting more. Yes, that means cliffhanger.   

Stephanie's new job on the island gives her the perfect opportunity to dig into Rook's secrets she knows he's still not telling her the full truth about what happened to her sister. All she needs to do is resist the sexual pull she has toward Rook and put off a mob boss. Her dreams can lead her to the truth. But is she really cut out for this, can she handle the truth or is that all a lie too?

Overall, it's another mindfuck by Mimi and I loved it. 

PROLOGUE
It wasn’t supposed to be like this, you know. Such a fucking mess. But I should’ve guessed this was coming. Because when life becomes nothing but should-haves, there is no other possible outcome. My big sister, Cici, should’ve come home from her exotic island vacation four months ago. My father should’ve told me that Mr. Rook, the owner of the resort, came to see him with the news that Cici had drowned, instead of leaving me in the dark. I should’ve known better than to borrow money from a very dangerous man in order to fund my search for her. There are so many should-haves that I’m sick to my stomach with remorse. 

But by far, my biggest regret is the moment I stepped foot on this island. Because once I set eyes on the devastatingly handsome Mr. Rook, I couldn’t stop myself from wanting him, from dreaming about him, from feeling drawn to the connection between us. I know it’s wrong. 

Nothing good will come of it. 

Because now I’m beginning to believe that Cici didn’t die drunk, swimming in the middle of the night. Just like I suspect that this past week with Rook—the touches, the forbidden kisses, the sexual hunger in his steel blue eyes—was an elaborate hoax meant to distract me.

Because he’s not just a wealthy businessman.

This island is no paradise.

And I’m no fucking idiot.

So while resisting this man will be the hardest thing I’ve ever done, I will find out what really happened to my sweet Cici. Otherwise I won’t ever be able to let her go, and my broken heart will be the end of me.

My name is Stephanie Fitzgerald. I am twenty-six years old, London born, New York raised, and I am the newest employee of Mr. Rook’s Island, where “your fantasy is our business.”

ARC REVIEW Mr. Rook by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff

Mr. Rook

Rook’s Island Series, Part One

by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff

From NEW YORK TIMES Bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff, Comes Part One of Mr. Rook’s Island, a Sexy, Dark, Romantic Suspense.

He’s Enigmatic, Dangerously Handsome, and COMPLETELY OFF-LIMITS…

The women who vacation on Mr. Rook’s exclusive island are looking for one thing and one thing only: to have their wildest romantic fantasies come to life. Pirates, cowboys, billionaires—there’s nothing Rook’s staff can’t deliver.

But when Stephanie Fitzgerald’s sister doesn’t return after her week in paradise, Stephanie will have to pose as a guest in order to dig for answers. Unfortunately, this means she’ll need to get close to the one thing on the island that’s not on the menu: the devastatingly handsome and intimidating Mr. Rook. And he’s not about to give the island’s secrets away.

Mr. Rook is the first part of Mimi Jean Pamfiloff's newest series Mr. Rook's Island. Yes I said PART meaning there is a cliffhanger, frankly when it comes to Mimi it only surprises me when there isn't a cliffhanger. Mr. Rook's Island is a Fantasy Island-esk place, (rumor has it the tv show was based on the real life Mr. Rook's Island, or so says the book) Here woman granted a fantasy, something they have always wished to do, and for a pretty penny Mr. Rook grants that wish. The publicity is non-existent it is spread by word of mouth and vetted extremely well, the private island lives well off radar.

 Stephanie Fitzgerald has plans of her own and they don't include giving into any fantasy. Stephanie managed to lie her way through the vetting and get a spot on the plane going out to Mr. Rook's Island. All this because her sister went missing and the last place she was was Mr. Rook's Island. The chances that Stephanie will get to met Mr. Rook are slim to none but she manages to lie, whine, and manipulate her way to Mr. Rook. Rook knows something is up with Stephanie and he has made it his duty to fulfill her fantasy personally, but it is way more than anything Rook expected and far more dangerous than Stephanie anticipated.

Overall, this was fantastic! The writing is dark and humourous, what Mimi does best. Mimi has raised the bar on this Dark Romance. The mystery and romance found on Mr. Rook's Island is a well thought out tease for what's to come.
