There's one thing you should know about Tristan Whitfield: he’s been in love with Anna for years. 

There are two problems with that: she has no idea, and she's married. Or at least, she was. 

Anna Callahan knows three things about her brother’s friend, Tristan: he's quiet, incredibly handsome, and has a smolder that could set the room on fire. 

For years, it wasn’t difficult for Anna to overlook all of that. But when Tristan is the solution to a work problem that could derail her career, he is anything but easy to ignore.

To Tristan, the fact that the object of his affection is suddenly single means he should tread lightly. Be the friend she needs until she’s ready for more and hope the risk pays off.

Because it'll add up to the one thing he wants: her.

Well, let’s see ... I’m a wife and a mother. If the things that I write bring a smile to someone's face, then I've done my job. I am obsessed with Outlander (both the books and the show). I’m almost exclusively a romance reader, which means some people will never consider me a literary snob. If I could meet one historical figure, it would be Jane Austen. I received my Bachelors in Public Relations and worked in health care marketing before I had my babies. I hate Twitter. I do it, but I hate it. Also, if you want to get on my good side, bring me wine and I'll love you forever.

Genre: Dark Romantic Comedy

Release Date: August 23, 2017

Blurb

X and I were probably doomed from the start.


That’s what happens when you meet in court-mandated group therapy and then try to steal from him to pay off your blackmailing drug dealer. Former drug dealer, thank you very much. I'm turning over a new leaf and all that.


Which is why I should leave him alone.


Except he tempts me to do things I swore I’d stop doing. It’s that whole gruff, grumbly, anti-social thing he has going on. Him, flame. Me, moth. Something about him calls to me, makes the blood hum in my body. And I don't want that feeling to end.


Lucy Connors is straight-up insane.


She looks like a Disney princess and tries my patience in more ways than I thought possible. Besides the fact that I have to save her cute little ass from jail, I can’t quite figure out how to leave her alone. Even when she’s trying her hand at Breaking and Entering. Especially when it's my house she's burglarizing.


Yeah, we were probably doomed from the start.


But that’s the thing about being hooked on something so good, and so bad for you—you don’t walk away when you should.

I am a wife to one and a mom to two humans and one cat. I have a deep and abiding love for nachos - especially the kind with the liquid cheese, like from Taco Bell (sorry). I run on less than four hours of sleep thanks to copious amounts of Diet Coke. (Note: this paragraph is not sponsored by anyone except my hungry stomach.) 

As a Navy brat, I grew up all over the country, from California and up the east coast from Florida to New England and Colorado. I currently live in Idaho, where we have lots of potatoes and windmills. 

I write character-driven contemporary romance novels, heavy on the emotional connection. I LOVE love. I love writing about broken characters who find their soul mates.

Hooked! What a fitting title since I seriously was hooked from start to finish! I love both of these authors separately so I was thrilled to see they teamed up together and produced such a fun book! This book is so hilarious that I laughed out loud several times! 

I adored the naughty Lucy! She did what she thought she had to do to survive and she dealt with her consequences. Lucy definitely had her flaws but I really feel like she owned them. Now here comes X in his high society clothing and wiff of dollar bills trailing behind him… what’s a klepto to do? Y’all have GOT to find out! Read this adorably, funny book! Even with all Lucy’s bad you can’t help but love her… I saw a bit of myself in her.

I seriously hope that Karla Sorensen and Whitney Barbetti will give us more! They are fantastic writers separately but I just love what they created together!! This is a seriously fun, just darn quirky book that will make you hoot with laughter! This is a book that shows you how opposites do truly attract!

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.

Brooke Rossi knows how stay in control.

Excerpt

“Michael,” I said dumbly, like a big dumb idiot. “Wh-what
are you doing here?”

Michael Whitfield was the kind of handsome that made me
twitchy. It was easier to ignore when I’d been a whale of a pregnant person and he oh-so-kindly informed me that I held no appeal whatsoever to him because I was on the verge of single motherhood. Okay, fine, that wasn’t exactly what he said, but he’d been pretty clear that our relationship was platonic.

He smiled down at me, all straight blinding teeth and dark,
scruffy face, the white t-shirt he wore underneath a dark gray hoodie stretched across his leanly muscular chest in a way that made me feel a little sweaty.
“I’m the cavalry.”

“You are not.”

His eyebrows lifted at my snappish response, but no, no,
nope, all the no in all the world. “I was with Julia when she got your text and they already had plans.”

I shifted Jacob in my arms and he peered around me at the
tall, handsome man currently annoying his mommy. Well, he wasn’t annoying me, exactly. But I was annoyed in general and now Michael got to be my scapegoat.
Yay for him. “Why didn’t she tell me that?”

Piper waddled over and gripped her chubby hands into
Michael’s dark jeans. I was just about to apologize when he leaned over and picked her up with the kind of ease that had me speechless.

Effing speechless.

Me.

I delight in books that have children. I just go crazy over the sweetness of people with the children. It just makes my heart completely melt into a puddle! The Bachelor’s of the Ridge series has been amazing, though; this might just be my favorite!! You can really feel Karla Sorenson’s voice in this book. She has this sassiness that is just in every word she gave to Brooke and Michael.

I really LOVED Michael’s character… so many male characters are cast in this… playboy type. Michael isn’t but he doesn’t care enough to fight the stigma but once he sets his eyes on Brooke everything changes. I love that he isn’t just into Brooke but he sees the kids too. Brooke is an amazing mom. I like her spite… her feistiness!
