About the Book
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 myhouse 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.

Addicted 2 Romance Review
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.This book was totally different than I expected and I LOVED it. It did take me a while to get to the love, because the beginning really wasn't typically the type of books I read. But at 40% I was totally hooked on this story and cute couple.
Hooked is a standalone book. It is also a dark romance. Meaning it deals with a lot of black humor and there is alot of humor. My kids looked at me all freaky because I was laughing so hard. It also is a very original story. I have never read a story like it ever before.
It all starts at a support group where X and Lucy are brought together. These two were never supposed to meet, they come from very opposite worlds and its not the princess and the bad boy world as the description of the book implies. It is the broke ex con and former drug dealer who is trying to not end up in jail and the afraid of the world rich boy.
When Lucy meets X at therapy it is not love at first sight, its more along the line of "maybe his house would make a good place to rob." You see Lucy needs money fast, her exes drug overlord is threatening her and so she decides to work for her money by robbery. However, Lucy gets distracted and well that is when the fun starts.
This book was very different. It is sorta a little bit Weekend at Bernies with two characters who are in therapy. Think a Jerry Springer Support Group and who have issues but those issues work for each other. Throw in a crazy mother, who worries about everything and this book was a total laugh riot.
Despite the laughter, the authors really make the romance work. I loved how great Lucy and X are together and I loved all Lucy's names for X. This is a fun dark romance with ALOT of hijinks. If you are looking for swoonly love story with lots of laughs and some darkness then you will love this story.

Well, let’s see ... I’m a wife and a mother. I’m a writer who wants to make people smile when they read my words. I own a dog that sheds roughly eighteen pounds of hair every day. 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.

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.
