This book is a warm hug on a dark day.

Maple Falls is an adorable town being lost to time. Riley left 10 years ago never looking back as she strived to become an artist in New York City. When Riley gets called back by her Grandmother she has to confront what she has run away from.

Hooked on You is a tale of growth and letting go with a slice of charming romance. Curl up on your couch with a cup of tea and relax into it. We all deserve a visit to Maple Falls.

I enjoyed this book because it was light, humorous, and a quick read. Riley McAllister is a struggling artist living in New York. When her Mimi, Erna, calls to
tell Riley about her broken leg, she also begs for Riley to come help her at her yarn
shop. Riley is hesitant to move back to
the small town on Maple Hill in Arkansas but agrees to come help temporarily. Riley has her mind set on helping for two weeks
but ends up becoming attached to the people of this tiny town. Riley has her guard up because of a mother who
abandoned her during early childhood. This causes a strain on her new relationships. Can she open up and let herself be truly loved? Read to find out. Thanks to Net Galley for the advanced copy of this book.

This was a good book. The story was intriguing and the characters were fun. There were parts that I wish were a bit faster. I liked that the characters were full-fledged. The heroine's grandma was amazing. It was different having her point of view as well as the two main characters.

Girl leaves home, girl gets summoned back to home, girl meets boy, girl and boy fall in love, girl faces past demons, girl doesn’t want to leave hometown anymore. While this story line has been done time and time again, Hooked on You by Kathleen Fuller brings new humour and level of fun to it. It was a quick and easy read that had me laughing throughout the story.
When Riley’s grandmother Erma suffers an injury, she summons Riley home from New York to help run her knitting shop. Grandma Erma is reason enough to pick up a copy on may 11th 2021!

HOOKED ON YOU by KATHLEEN FULLER is a most enjoyable romance novel that takes place in the small town of Maple Falls.
Different reasons have brought Hayden Price and Riley McAllister back to the place where they attended high school,
Riley is a loner and has always felt out of place, afraid that people will find out about her unhappy childhood. She went to live with her grandmother, Mimi, when she was thirteen and the two are very close. When Mimi breaks her leg, Riley goes to look after her and help run her yarn shop, intending to go back to New York, where she has been a struggling artist for the past nine years, as soon as possible. She has a poor self image.
Hayden is good looking, athletic and charming, but he also has secrets,They are both very good at keeping their emotions in check until things happen that shake them into facing the present and letting go of the past.
I love the friendliness of Mimi's Bosom Buddies and the three young women who befriend Riley.
Will Riley every feel that Maple Falls is home or will she rush back to her life in the big city?
It is a most enjoyable read with quite a bit of depth and one I can recommend to anyone who enjoys a good romantic novel.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Thomas Nelson. The opinions in this review are completely my own.

Riley is back in her hometown, having never returned before in the ten years since she left for New York.
Hayden has been back in town for a while, working at his family's hardware store.
They weren't friends in highschool, but they become closer now, but will they have a chance together when she can't wait to leave town again and all he wants to do is stay and improve the town?

Full of great characters, especially Mimi!

I hope this is a series and we get stories of Riley's new friends too.
