This quirky small town romance had me laughing, smiling, and feeling all-around good! There were some emotional moments, but for the most part, this rom-com bounced along as our leads fell in love, and the town swept them up. You know those “just for now” romances, because we have to go somewhere else to live our lives, this is that. But the now they are in, that is a town that they fall in love with as much as they fall for each other. The tipping point had me openly sobbing along with our heroine, but the town, and our hero, come to the rescue to bring out the smiles again. I loved the characters, I loved the romance, the steaminess, and I loved the town and the residents, I simply loved it all!

Hooked on You by Cathryn Fox a five-star read that will hook you, line and sinker. This is my first read by this author but I am sure it wont be the last, I will admit that It wasn’t all five-stars, a couple of bits just didn’t make it that great, but honestly the overall was so worth it. This is a great small-town romance, but it does have some great twists, like neither of the main characters are small town people, but that just makes it more real and the ending much sweeter. The secondary characters in this one just makes the whole story, and I include the animals in those secondary characters as they play a massive part in showing us different softer sides to a certain someone. This was a lovely sweet and romantic story and one that you would be sunk if you miss.

There are so many charming things about this small town romance- a lovesick cow, a house full of fishermen who run a B&B on the honor system, a gas station that refuses modernize, and an a-hole horse to name a few. I wish I hadn’t found the romance at the heart of it kind of boring. Nothing about Kira or Nate really interested me after their rather adorable meet cute. I still had fun reading about everything else in this book and was happy to read it in exchange for an honest review.

Good book, not the best I've read but definitely worth reading! It's a nice sweet funny read with some steam to it I definitely enjoyed reading it but not my top favorite reads! Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!

I would like to thank #EntangledAmara for sending my this ARC of #HookedOnYou By Cathryn Fox through #NetGalley, in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Hooked On You is written by New York Times, and USA Today bestselling author Cathryn Fox, and it is actually my first time reading her work, despite her having many books on the market, and literally lives in a neighboring province. I won't lie, one of the reasons I was happy to be selected to review this book was because its written by a Canadian author, and its setting is in Nova Scotia.

Do you like Hallmark movies? You know the ones I'm talking about right? The ones many women go nutty over, because of the sappy romance? Well, Hooked On You, kind of reads like a Hallmark movie. Girl meets guy. They are brought together by circumstance and coincidence, and get to know one another. In this time, they fall in love. There is a conflict, but it gets resolved quickly and easily, they kiss finally, and they get a happily ever after.

So why do I say, it's kind of like a Hallmark movie? Well, fun fact for this romance novel enthusiast ... I hate Hallmark movies. They are cheesy, and they are always the same. And I really liked Hooked On You. While following the classic romance plot line, Cathryn Fox managed to keep the story unique and fun, and unlike Hallmark movies, sexy. The only issue I really had that it's written in third person, which I am traditionally not a fan of, and sometimes I felt like the writing didn't flow as well as it could have.

The characters are great. We have two intelligent protagonists, who are ultimately kind-hearted, and lonely because of their family circumstances. Their attraction to one another makes sense, and their obvious chemistry with one another pop right out at you. Some writers have trouble conveying chemistry between their characters, but Cathryn Fox does not, and it shows in this book. The side characters were just as fun to read, and she set this book up, so if she wanted to continue with this family of friends finding love, she could (Sam and Khloe, next perhaps?) Being a maritimer herself, she did a great job writing small town characters, with the classic dose of kindness and generosity, and sense of humor. The characters reminded me of people I encounter every day, which I loved.

In the end, Hooked On You is a great novel for a light read. It's romance, but it also is a story about family, and community. It's funny. Sweet. Has the good, romantic parts of a Hallmark romance but with adult content that I like in romance novels. I loved it, I know you will love it, and I can't wait to explore some of Cathryn Fox's other works soon.

I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I requested the ARC based on the cover and the description and am ever so thankful that I was granted a copy. I laughed and I cried while reading Nate and Kira’s story. This is not your regular romance book, there are so many wonderful characters to get to meet. I hope there are several more books to come, hopefully a large series!

This is the first book that I’ve read by this author and I know it won’t be my last!

**I received a copy of Hooked on You from Entangled Publishing and Net Galley in exchange for a honest review. My opinion wasn't solicited in any way.**

Hooked on You by Cathryn Fox is a funny and refreshing book set in a fishing town in Nova Scotia and will have you hook, line, sinker, and lovesick blind cow who loves Nate. Sorry I couldn't resist on the fishing pun. Truly you'll love the family feeling that Sam, Nate, Jason, Cody and Izzy give Kira who has always wanted a family.

Kira has come to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia to sell her Gram's B & B and is saved by Nate from being run over by Eddy the escapee horse. When she meets the boarders at her Gram's home (Loved the Pickle Jars honor system) she'll find that even though Gram is gone she still has ways of helping Kira and almost everyone either has a recipe or fond memories of the lessons she gave in painting. When the entire town pulls together to save the house Kira will discover how much Gram meant to everyone. But will she stay or return to Victoria when she finds out who the Nate really is?

Nate believes in being hands on working the lobster boats and in the factory. But his father has made it clear he needs to prove to him and older brothers by building a new seafood processing factory but run problem that will put a kink into building. Little does he know that when he saves Kira that he'd lose more than his heart when she finds out who wants to buy Gram's studio. It will take all of her honorary brothers and sister to make him realize that she needs to stay forever.

What a fun and adorable book! I fell in love with the town and its eccentricities. I'm hoping there will be more books featuring Kira's "brothers". I thought that Kira would start painting again though but it didn't happen, which I thought was a small overlooked opportunity to evolve her character further. Great read! Highly recommended.

Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The towns people and the others living in the B and B made this book extra special. They were my favorite part. This would have been a great first book in a series. I could see so many more stories.

LOVED this book! This is a delightful romance between Kira and Nate that started with a no-relationship agreement. Each is keeping a secret from the other and neither knows just how entwined their lives are....which leads to a satisfying conclusion.

I can't say enough good about this book. I was totally engrossed in the characters story and felt invested in them getting a HEA ending. The only negative is I was sorry when it ended. If I could give this more than five stars, I would.

If you enjoy the genre, you will love this book. Put it at the top of your TBR list. The author is on my must read authors' list.

The story of Kira and Nate. She is in town to sort out her grandmothers house to sell. She mistakes him for a fisherman, instead of the company CEO, and he does nothing to set her straight. Soon they are spending more time together and she is falling for him, but what will happen when she discovers his secret?

A great set of side characters too, who share the B&B with Kira and Nate. Hoping that this is a series so we find out their stories too.

Kira, finally returns to her Grandmother's home long after her death to arrange the sale of her B&B and is surprised to find it is being used by a group of local lobster fishermen who are keeping the house in shape and paying their way by filling old jars with cash. She is charmed by their welcome and the weird and quirky happenings around town. Her path crosses that of Nate another resident who who turns out to be irresistible. Despite agreeing to no strings, Kira finds it difficult to disentangle her heart. Fun, cosy and atmospheric.

This was a cute small town romance between two unlikely people. I'm a big fan of small town settings because they usually deliver so many fun side characters and some interesting charm to the town. You definitely get that with Hooked on You. There are plenty of characters to help you fall in love with this town and makes you want more books on some of these hunky men. You also get that quirky small town charm with a love sick cow and an angry horse. Overall, it's a cute story with a lot of quirkiness, some a bit unbelievable, but I still enjoyed it for what it was.

I loved this book. I loved the pace of the book and the silliness of the town. I loved the friendships.

Kira and Nate are the cutest couple. Both have their hang ups and both have their amazing qualities. It’s great to see them blossom around each other.

Overall a good read. I can’t wait to see what Cathryn Fox does next.

Are you "fishing" for your next romcom book?
Well look no further than Hooked On You by Cathryn Fox.
I just want to Thank Entangled Publishing for allowing me to read the arc of this soon to be Spring must read.

This book had me hooked from the 1st chapter, The funny sexy banter, the hometown feeling and the most adorable charters, this book truly has it all. This book made my heart happy and kept a smile on my face from the 1st page to the last. Cathryn has a way of making you feel like your right in the heart of the town and falling in love with it and everyone from Bridgett the "love sick" cow to Sam the smart ass. You will find yourself rooting for Nate and Kira right from the start.

I’m a bookworm, a mathematician, not the kind of girl a hot lobster fisherman would notice.

Until he did.

I’m not in small town Nova Scotia to hook up. I’m here to settle my grandmother’s estate and sell the B&B, which I soon discover has been overrun with seasonal fisherman and operated on the honor system. The hard-core fishing folks become an instant family––the one I never had. Then there’s the blind pet cow, who has a crush on my hot fisherman, Nate. Okay, technically he’s not mine. I have no desire to get reeled in.

Until I do.

Soon, the little town grows on me, and the fisherman? It’s not long until I take the bait and we’re playing house at the B&B. Things are looking up.

Until they aren’t.

Rumors about a new plant and jobs being in jeopardy start swirling around town like a nor’easter, and all the signs point to my guy being behind the scandal. Should I give him enough line to play it out and learn his true intentions, or cut and run before I’m hooked?

Oh, how I adore a small town romance with a steamy romance, lots of great banter, and a lovable cast of supporting characters. HOOKED ON YOU has all of it and more!

The H and h were the most wonderful couple that you can't help but root for. They were sweet and steamy and so right fir each other!

By the end of this book I was in love with each and every character and cheering on the happy ending. This author is truly skilled at creating characters with complexity and flaws that will steal your heart.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I am swooning at the thought of seeing more of these characters get their own love stories in the future.
