5 Smooches!

Synopsis

Whoever said singles were missing out by not finding true love and getting married before the age of thirty had never experienced the sheer pleasure of nightly romantic comedy viewings in their underwear while eating one of Licked’s famous Crazy Cat Lady sundaes. Because life just doesn’t get better than that.

At least, it doesn’t for Shayne Callahan. It didn’t take more than a handful of broken hearts after college to solidify that she was better at pairing up those around her than herself. As a matchmaker at the elite HLS—Hook, Line, & Sinker Matchmaking Company—in the City of Angels, she has a knack for finding the other halves of even the most eccentric clients:

Sugar daddy with a foot fetish? Gross, but no problem.
A severe case of nudophobia? Match made before lunch.

But even the most happily independent of women can find their best-laid plans screeching to a halt when they meet that guy. For Shayne, that guy comes in the form of boyishly handsome, suspender-lovin’, dimple-poppin’ Nate Ryan on a pantsless (we’ll get to that later) Metro ride.

Of course, relationships can never be easy. Before the destined lovers can ride off into the sunset, they must overcome a power-hungry and sexual-punning boss, a celebrity scandal and cover-up, and let’s not forget Shayne’s dreadful foot-in-mouth disease—with which there can never be a happily ever after.

Will fate throw Shayne a freakin’ bone? Or will she be destined to live out her life as sexy(ish), single(ish), and L.A.’s finest Hooker (upper)?

Review

OMG, you guys!  I loved Hooker more than I loved Licked and I really loved Licked.  Goodness Brooke Blaine does fandamntabulous romantic comedy and I have come to realize why.  Her writing is spot on.  Her romance is sweet and super steamy.  But here is the real kicker and this is what some romantic comedy authors fail at is the comedy.  It isn’t ridiculous and over the top.  It isn’t too slap stick.  It is something that could totally happen to anyone and it is still completely hilarious!  I just love Brooke Blaine’s writing style.  I got an author crush, y’all!

“Bring it the hell on.”

This story was so great and I think a big part of that is the amazing heroine!  Shayne is hilarious and gets herself into really funny situations and her reaction to younger stud and dimpled Nate was just to die for.  I love a heroine that plays a bit hard to get and Shayne really took the cake at times.  Nate was pretty awesome too in his constant perusal of Shayne, plus I just loved that he was a bit younger!  RAWR!  I also really enjoyed revisiting with these girls.  Their antics are so very entertaining and it was nice to catch up with them.  I cannot wait to find out who is in the next book!

‘I was saving myself for Prince Harry and that was that.  We redheads have to stick together.’

If you are a fan of fun romantic comedies with plenty of steam, then this is definitely the book for you.  Brooke Blaine hasn’t disappointed me yet and she has turned into one of my go to authors for a good laugh with a dash of smoking hot!  You definitely do not need to read Licked to enjoy Hooker but you should, well, because it is awesome!  Go on, grab them both!
