In ARR's most recent books, this has the most suspense and mystery --makes sense since Calvin is a detective-- and I really really enjoyed that! I was on the edge of my seat the entire time trying to guess who it was! ( I did guess who it was early on but I still enjoyed this side plot and as I've said before, it doesn't bother me when I guess correctly)
"'I think I love you,' I say, then cover my face and groan. 'I mean that in the friendliest way possible.'"
The banter between Calvin and Anna is everything! Compared to ARR's usual insta-love, this is very slow --for her-- and I really was not expecting that. I really enjoyed the time the connection between Anna and Calvin took. Neither of them was looking to find someone but they found each other and I can't even with the feels. I always read books about how the love interests makes the other person laugh even when really deep emotional stuff --and other stuff *wink wink* -- is happening; this book is that feeling. The characters made me laugh even when things weren't great for them and I want to reread immediately.
"'How did you become friends with the Golden Girls?'"
The side characters were hilarious and I want my own Edie, Dixie, and Pearl! I love how the book started with them and it had me laughing whenever they showed up. We do see the couples from the previous two books but unlike some of her other series, they do not show up that much. I found this refreshing because, while yeah, you might become friends with your friend's friends (how many times can I say friends), it doesn't mean that you'll be best friends with all of them.
Aurora Rose Reynolds was the first-ever romance author I ever read and followed --her books, not her personally lol. Her books are always a great pick-me-up and never disappoint! She doesn't release her books as quickly as other authors I love so I always make sure to savor her books.
Hooking Him was no different, I loved it! And once you know the meaning of the title it is so cute and adorable!!
