I am absolutely loving this series. Seriously I am completely hooked on Manzari writing style at this point. Though I have to admit, I preferred Hooked more, I still find myself saying this was a damn good read. Once you get started on these, seriously there is no putting them down until you finish.
From the start I loved the main characters, which is exactly what I love about Manzari writing style. Her characters up to this point have been the perfect blends, the perfect personalities – the total package. Harlow for one is definitely an interesting catch. Mixed with her inability to show connections mostly because of her ambitious attitude, she is in control of her life yet she is flawed. One particular is her compulsion for list making to keep her on the right track. She is clumsy and sweet, so many times I could see myself through her, she is basically the easiest female lead to connect with, utterly relatable.
Then there is Trace. Oh bloody hell – Trace. Mouth watering, sexy as hell, witty and cocky piece of man meat in full fictional form. He has the perfect athletic tool persona yet is a closet sweet heart. As a reader you are left swooning over his every move. Trace is a definite charmer. This is definitely parts of the reasons I enjoyed their characters chemistry. After their night of flirtation that leads to more drinks than needed, waking up to realize a mistake – it is fun potential where my expectations are met. Majority of the book is them getting to know one another, building a relationship from what started out as a drunken night in Vegas. Super fun. Not to mention when they collide it is nothing but fireworks.
Although I loved their chemistry, Trace was definitely my favorite aspect of the novel it was Harlow who made some areas little lack luster. I loved her and I hated her. During the build of their relationship I felt that because of Harlow’s guarded personality, at times she became somewhat rude and well, quite frankly a bitch. Her childish attitude made me cringe with how she treated Trace at times. I understand it was the purpose of the writer to add to the drama filter of the plot, but at times the hot and cold of Harlow really made some spots in the novel little less than enjoyable; really took away from the build up of their chemistry. I am not saying I need everything to be rainbow dust and unicorn snot the entire way, but at times the attitude of Harlow mixed with the chemistry build made their relationship seem more forced, less enjoyable.
Aside from my slight pet peeve for one character, there are also some really neat toppers to the chapters that I really enjoyed. There are little articles that kind of give you a feed or foreshadowing of what is to come in the current chapter. They presented like news articles. It ranges from Trace’s career or choices while Harlow is more through her thoughts. It was sweet, adorable and downright hilarious.
In a nutshell, I adored this novel. Hitched was perfect blend of all things wonderful, sweet and adorable with a dash deep emotional digs and steamy sex. Definitely a solid read – easy flow and enjoyable. I highly recommend diving into this series. This is my first series I have read of Manzari and quite honestly I have been loving it. I cannot wait to finish Hatred as well as dive into her YA Series. Definitely a must read.

I enjoyed this book, though not as much as the first one, Hooked. I liked Trace but I kind of had a hard time seeing what he saw in Harlowe. She was kind of horrible to him and just pretty selfish. BUT I’m glad she realized it in the end!

I have so much love for this book. It can be read as a stand alone, so if you haven't read the first book, that's completely okay.
Harlow and Trace are such awesome and unique characters. Trace is dealing with a small break in his snowboarding career, and Harlow is used to being the perfect daughter and chasing her dreams without really living.
There are so many awkwardly fun moments in this book. Harlow is a complete klutz, and Trace is a charmer and can make anything sound dirty. I loved seeing the push and pull between these characters. You never really know what's going to happen next and are so happy you read through to find out. They definitely have chemistry, even if a certain someone refuses to believe it.
Oh, and did I mention there's a Vegas wedding. I'm a sucker for books that include an unplanned night of fun, and surprises when they wake up. Definitely, check out this book. It's fun, swoony, and full of pretty amazing steamy scenes.

This was an addicting read, and it was pretty awesome seeing characters from Hooked! But it can also be read as a stand alone. The phone scene was my favorite!!!
