Hooked on You by Jenn Matthews
4.0
I received this book as part of a monthly read for sapphicbookclub.tumblr.com.
The protagonists in this were both in their early 50s which I really appreciated because I rarely get to read romances with older protagonists in them. So score one for older WLW! It's very slow paced and easy to read which I also liked a lot. I didn't like the protagonists much when I started out, but they really ended up growing on me! I loved how their romance was developed and how it progressed through the book. The intimacy was sweet and gentle and it felt natural.
The main issue I had with the book was with the beginning mostly. There was a sort of a prologue that I didn't realise was a prologue till the next section jumped to the future. The earlier chapters were a bit here and there in the sense that there seemed to be too many characters coming in at once and I couldn't really make sense of what was going on, but it came together quite nicely towards the middle and onwards. Overall I thought it was a sweet story despite the hiccups in the beginning, and I also appreciated the inclusion of characters of differing abilities. That was one of the book's strong suits in my opinion, because it was all incorporated quite nicely.
