    Great start to a new series

    I'm always excited to follow an author into a new genre since I dabble in pretty much everything but science fiction so I was thrilled to see Kathleen Fuller with a new contemporary romance series starting up.

    Absolutely love the small town setting -- with a twist. This tired old town with stores on the verge of collapse isn't the usual feel-good backdrop...and I love it! The possibilities for future books are endless and the unique challenges reviving Maple Falls presents to this next generation is so relatable. Lots of story fodder here.

    Hayden has always known he has Maple Falls in his genes. He's never wanted to live anywhere else so when his baseball career tanks going home is his soft place to land. His solid family background and hometown hero status makes it easy for him to slip back into town life.

    Unlike Riley, whose rough upbringing has her hackles permanently up. It's amazing the girl can walk upright with the weight of that chip on her shoulder! I'm going to warn you right now, be ready to extend some grace to this prickly heroine. She's going to need a large dose before she worms her way into your heart...but she'll do that by the end. Guaranteed.

    So we have Hayden who has pretty much sailed through life, admittedly with a few bumps along the way, but he's had the blessing of a secure childhood where all his needs were provided for, from temporal to spiritual all wrapped up in love. Those kinds of deep roots keep a person grounded no matter what life throws at them.

    Then we have Riley, whose foundation was built on insecurity and neglect which isn't any foundation at all, really. It's left her with a driving need to prove herself. She's forever waiting to be noticed. To be good enough. Worthy. Successful. Only her idea of success is skewed and she's her own worst enemy with her stand offish behavior and grimly guarded heart.

    So, yes, this is an emotional story. The romance stems from a bit of unrequited teenage love and a whole lot of wary stops and starts along the way to the very hard won happily-every after. But there are delightfully funny moments as well, often courtesy of Riley's grandmother and her BBs (Bosom Buddies) who aren't above a little matchmaking manipulations.

    I love the way the author has set the stage for future books as we are introduced to a host of appealing secondary characters who definitely need their chance to shine in their own stories! And I want to stick around for Maple Fall's revitalization!

    I listened to the audible edition of this book narrated by Lauren Berst and really enjoyed her interpretation of these characters as she brought them to life.

    Because I love to knit, I was drawn to Hooked on You immediately when I saw the cover and the back cover. Kathleen Fuller has once again filled her book with interesting characters, genuine situations, somber revelations, realistic reactions. I enjoyed seeing people overcome sudden changes in their circumstances, and watching some change their attitude as they matured.

    I recommend Hooked on You by Kathleen Fuller most highly.

    This review was written for Hooked on You - eBook.
    Hooked on you is the first book in a series by one of my favorite authors, Kathleen Fuller.

    I am from Arkansas, and loved the fictional town of Maple Falls, Arkansas!

    Riley,who has been living in New York where she's trying to succeed as an artist, returns to her hometown to help her injured grandmother run her yarn shop. Riley has a secret wish, to convince her grandmother to sell the yarn shop so she can return to her life in New York.

    Someone else has returned to Maple Falls...Riley's high school crush, Hayden. Riley's grandmother has plans of her own that include getting her granddaughter and Riley together.

    Riley has self-esteem issues. Although, she did have a rough upbringing by her mother until she went to live with her grandmother at the age of 13, she likes to blame shift too much. At some point, one must grow up and take responsibility for how the rest of their life turns out.

    Very sweet story with engaging characters. I love happy endings!

    I was given an advanced ecopy of this by the publisher, Thomas Nelson and Netgalley. I was under no obligation to write a positive review.

    After having enjoyed lots of Amish fiction by Kathleen Fuller, this is my first non-Amish adventure with her. I certainly was not disappointed in the change of genre! Hooked on You is a very enjoyable and sweet story with a great mix of characters dealing with wide-ranging emotions and life-altering decisions.

    Being an Arkansas girl who spends much of her time with skeins of yarn and crochet hooks, I found myself quite comfortable in Mimi's yarn shop in the fictional Arkansas town of Maple Falls. Friendships (both old and new) and family relationships (both nurturing and difficult) brought a delightful cast of characters to life for an engaging story. I thoroughly enjoyed accompanying Riley and Hayden on their journey toward learning the meaning of home and where to find it.

    I highly recommend Hooked on You to fans of inspirational fiction, and sweet contemporary romance in particular. Thanks to JustRead Publicity Tours for providing a copy of the book. I am happy to share my own personal thoughts in this review.

    In this romantic must-read, readers will be taken on a journey to a small town called Maple Falls. This is the first book that I have read by this author, but I was interested in reading it after I looked at the book description. I really enjoyed reading this book and look forward to the author writing more books in this town. I would love to read more about some of the secondary characters. This book focuses on Riley and Hayden. Riley has many issues due to her childhood that she must confront at this point in her life. Hayden has been away from the small-town life, but wants to make his life in his hometown. He notices though how the town is slowly dying. They both feel a connection to each other, but readers will have to read the book to see what happens. Can they work through their pasts, present lives, and determine what they want in the future? I loved the way Ms. Fuller weaves forgiveness and faith throughout this book and story. I highly recommend this book and know you will not be disappointed! ***I was given a free electronic copy of this book from the publisher. This is my honest opinion. Even though I received this copy free, this is my own opinion.
