Great Read!

Anna and Calvin story was a great addition to this series. I love when we get see the other characters from the previous books. I wish we were getting more from the series but I’m looking forward to Aurora’s next Release Until Talon coming August 4th!

One of my go-to authors since I started reading indie romance has been Aurora Rose Reynolds. Her Until series is still one of the series I go back to when I’m in a reading slump because the storylines are hot, fun and have enough drama to keep me engaged. But the thing I love most about Aurora's books are how easy they are to read. Sometimes, you need to escape from heavy and dark books, even if they are romances too, and her books are the perfect antidote.

The third book in this series is about Anna, the woman who start working in Chrissie’s bakery in book two. Having left her high society life, rich fiancée and fancy job in Chicago for the quiet country town, to try and find happiness. She lives above Edie, a crazy elderly lady who becomes one of her closest friends. When Anna, Edie and two of her friends are pulled over by a cop, who is handsome, fit but so rude. He insults Anna to her face, so a few days later, goes into the bakery to apologise. Despite the chemistry between them, anna is standoffish and pushes him away, and this occurs the next few times they meet. When another incident brings them together once again, with Anna the hero, Calvin asks her out and she hesitantly accepts. They both slowly open up about their past relationships and hurt, bring each other out of their comfort zones to try new things. When Anna’s past comes back to haunt her, they form a tight team and work together to ensure that they will have a future together, with zero miscommunication and a whole lot of love and support.

Calvin was a bit different to the other two heroes in this series, as he initially wanted to keep Anna at arm’s length, but the attraction was too great and, in the end, he couldn’t help but chase her. He has other things to deal with too than his new relationship and I actually liked how the storyline of this book didn’t revolve solely round the romance, there was a bit more suspense and mystery on the side. Anna was reluctant to jump into another relationship so quickly, she wanted to find her own peace before starting anything with someone else. But she managed to find that with Calvin, finding closure with her old life and opening her heart to something new, and in the end, that’s where she found her happiness.

Very similar to the Until series, so if you’ve read that you know what a treat you are in for. I really would recommend to anyone who loves a good romantic easy read!

*I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.*

Came for the light and fluffy feel-good romance but got mystery and murder. Honestly, I felt like this story was a bunch of bits and pieces that were cobbled together.

You have a group of wild, little ole ladies who are looking after the heroine. No explanation of how they met. Anna (the h) is running away from her past and trying to keep a low profile. Calvin is inexplicably a jerk to Anna upon first meeting, is forced by his mother to apologize, and then switches gears and falls in love with Anna on their second meeting. A string of murders is happening in the background and is forgotten about until it’s relevant to the romance.

Then we have an over the top scene where all previous couples in the series show up to support Anna against her greedy parents and ex who “really loves her” but cheated on her and ignored her until the press got wind of Anna’s whereabouts. Too much going on, not enough of a real connection.

Serious Cop falls for sweet baker

This was cute fast read, very similar to the others in the series. Likable characters, sexy times, no cheating or contrived drama. These books are perfect to help decompress after a long day.

Barely any conflict. They met and fell in love. Slight suspense storyline that wasn’t built up at all.

Not much to say about 'Hooking Him'. It was a cute hallmark movie type romance filled with instant love (cringe worthy but expected), oozing chemistry, family drama, cheating exes and a side fish of murder (surprising bit of this story). It's definitely a feel good romance and ideal for readers looking for a quick, easy read.
