Hooked

By: Brenda Rothert

Narrated by: Lee Samuels, Kirsten Leigh

From the author of the On the Line and Fire on Ice hockey romance series comes a sultry stand-alone novel featuring a brooding NHL player who's hell on skates - and the no-nonsense woman who forces him to clean up his act.

Miranda

Even though I'm broke, putting myself through college, and working two jobs, I'm trying to make the best of it. Meanwhile, Jake Birch, hockey's hottest bad boy, lives in a luxury hotel in downtown Chicago - and still complains about every little thing in his penthouse. But after I tell him off, instead of getting me fired, Jake requests me as his personal housekeeper. Then he starts flirting with me. Only I'm not flirting back...at least I'm trying not to. Did I mention that he's hockey's hottest bad boy?

Jake

I've met the best woman at the worst possible time. Miranda is the fire to my ice - a sexy, charmingly candid spark who breaks down my walls and reminds me what it's like to feel again. But I'm being forced to date my team owner's daughter to keep my job, so I can't be caught with Miranda. Still, we're getting closer - until Miranda finds out about my "girlfriend". And that's not the only secret I've been keeping. But Miranda's the one I want...even if she doesn't believe me.

Critic reviews

“Sexy, sweet, and totally had me swooning. Prepare to get hooked.” ( New York Times best-selling author Sawyer Bennett)

My opinion not yours

I liked it, the story was sweet. The characters possessed real qualities of normalcy. The narrators did a good job of capturing my full attention

Puck Love

I truly enjoyed listening to this book. Good story line with down to earth characters. Even brought a tear to my eyes a couple of times.

It's what it is

You came here for a good listen? These narrators are amazing! You want some romance? No worries. What you won't get is an over abundance of smut, slow pace, nor any twists.

Loved this book

Loved how the character of Jake changed gradually due to his love for Miranda. A very slow building love that was believable and really sweet.

Better than expected

Any additional comments?

I thought this was going to be a quick read without any depth but it wasn't, it was much more. I love how the heroine and hero bonded and their relationship grew. I'm so glad this heroine wasn't TSTL. I hate when I read a story and the chick is annoying. I really liked this heroine. She was strong but not too strong to let her stubbornness get on my nerves. I'm going to check out more of this authors work now.
