Description
Ore has (almost) landed her dream job as an investigative reporter for the New Yorker. There’s only one catch – they’ll only give her the job if she can get the scoop on working for the elusive billionaire Harrison Marigold. To write the article, she’s got to spend two weeks on his luxury yacht off the coast of Australia, and convince the crew to spill the beans.
Daniel has (almost) landed his dream job as captain of a super yacht down under. There’s only one catch – he has to take one last job, chartering a yacht for an eccentric billionaire, and making sure an unfairly beautiful journalist doesn’t distract his crew from their work.
But making sure Ore doesn’t sink his chances of staying on course by sea-ducing his crew turns into a much harder job than Daniel expected. Ore’s also finding her assignment more difficult than she ever thought, thanks to the crew’s loyalty to Captain Daniel, but also, the waves of attraction towards him that keep crashing over her.

This book was so good! I really loved the characters and how well developed they were! I enjoyed reading their story!

Hooked on you really surprised me. When I started the book I wasnt sure it was for me.
The start felt a little slow but something kept telling me to read on.
About half way through the pace started to pick up I was obsessed and I couldnt put the book down I just wanted to find out how it ends.
I enjoyed this book, I found the plot really interesting and I loved seeing each characters development.
I love this authors writing style and I cant wait to pick up other books by this author.
I highly recommend this book its an enjoyable read and the romance is just adorable.
*Thank you NetGalley and Avon Books for providing me this Arc in return for an honest review*

Ore boards a billionaire's superyacht to write an article about him. 2 weeks cruising off the coast of Australia. She soon realises there is more to him and his business than is generally known, and sets about finding out exactly what shady practices he is using. Added romance is provided by the attractive Captain of the boat . A thoroughly enjoyable read.

Romance readers listen up. Watch out for Hooked on You by Ada Barume on publication day. You won’t regret this one.

Hooked On You follows Ore and Daniel, an investigative journalist and a yacht captain respectively, who are both doing 'one last job' before they get into their dream careers; for Ore, working as an investigative journalist for the New Yorker, and for Daniel, being the resident captain on an easy-going family's yacht. But, will this 'one last job' derail their dreams for the future, or reimagine their future entirely?
For those of you who've been following me for a little while, you'll know that I read and adored Love Overboard, also by Ada Barumé, in summer 2024 (I was lucky enough to receive the eARC of Love Overboard too!!). Love Overboard was a lovely, light-hearted read full of enemies to lovers goodness (and food).
I actually think I preferred Hooked On You to Love Overboard, as the story was more in-depth and I felt like the outcome had higher stakes due to various factors. One thing Ada smashed in both books, though, was the characters' depth. In this one, Carlos was an absolute angel, and Mel was a classic teen (I loved her).
Overall, Hooked On You is a fantastic romance, and I absolutely adored it. This wonderful book is released on 10th April, and I would highly recommend you grab it as it's only £2.99 on kindle currently (and it's totally worth it - I may have my pre-order in already)<33

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book. A gorgeous 4 star read book from me. What an exciting plot, vivid storytelling and relatable, rich characters. I couldn't put this book down – absolutely loved it.

Both characters are in new job roles and working on a yacht. I loved that set-up! The witty banter between the two unfolds as the boat sails around Australia. I was entertained while reading this story. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
