Description from the publisher:

I love my life.  As owner and chef at one of the hottest restaurants, I know how to keep things sizzling in and out of the kitchen.  What more could I ask for?  But I’ll tell you what I didn’t ask for… a klutzy, curly-haired woman slamming into me with unicorn cake.  Yes, you read that right—a damn cake decorated to look like the mythical creature bathed in every color of the rainbow.



What could be worse, right?  I’ll tell you.  My brother hired her to be my pastry chef.  You’d think that would be my biggest problem, but that was just the tip of the iceberg.



Aside from her being one of the clumsiest women I’ve ever met, she turns me on like no other woman has.  She tastes sweeter than anything she creates, and we make a great team in and out of the bedroom...  I mean kitchen.



When we first met, I worried my restaurant wouldn’t survive her.  Now I worry that my heart won’t.



I never wanted to fall in love, but sometimes life isn’t all unicorns and rainbows.

HOOKED is the fifth book in the Prescott series.  Each will stand on their own, but I highly recommend reading all of these delicious stories.



Heart-stopping moments, tears, sighs, … yes this is a true romance between a girl who is bit of a free-spirited geek and a straight-arrowed workaholic.  She is a pastry chef and he is a restaurant owner and house chef.  That makes them like peanut butter and jelly from the start…. Or better yet, steak (with all of the trimmings) and chocolate cake.  For me, that’s the perfect simple yet perfect meal.



You will need a few tissues.  You may need a leash on your kindle to keep you from throwing it against the wall.  You may want to shake one or both of them on occasion – or the siblings – but you will not want to miss this story.



I know all five siblings have met their “the one,” but there are enough threads to suggest we may get a follow up story.  We can only hope.



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
