Hooked on You by Kate Meader

5.0

I have been waiting for Violet and Bren St. James’ book from the very beginning of this series. We’ve been witness to their constant back and forth for two books and a novella and the anticipation was killing me in the best of ways. That wait? Totally worth it!!

I loved the slow burn of this book. Violet and Bren shared a connection that I could FEEL from the very beginning. The tension was high and the wait for it to finally break was sweet, sweet torture. When that burning and yearning finally became too much to ignore, the collision of passions between Violet and Bren was OFF THE CHARTS fantastic!! Everything I had been hoping for and more.

Bren was everything I love about a good Hero. He was just a little bit broken, a whole lot grumpy and gruff, and super sexy in that mysterious way that drives me crazy. I loved his dedication to getting his life together for his kids and how he was trying to do what was best for them despite his intense feelings for Violet, even though I was dying for him to just give in.

Violet was strong and sassy but had a vulnerable side when it comes to opening herself up to anyone, including Bren but especially her sisters. Where she was loud and blunt, Bren was quiet and steady. I adored the way she truly bonded with his kids. Not as a means to be with him but because she genuinely cared about them. She really was his perfect match and together they were combustable but REAL.

My favorite part of this whole series, outside of the romances, is the way that all three sisters slowly opened up to each other and each found their place in the Rebels organization and as a family. The growth they each experienced individually and as they navigated their way through their dad’s final wishes took me on such a great ride. I’m sad to see this series come to and end but excited to see what’s coming next from Kate Meader. She just has such a way with words and character building that always makes me feel like am a part of the story, not just reading it. I’ll be ready to lose myself in whatever world she creates next!!
