Hooked

by Claire Adams

Molly is a lonely, once-failed ballerina living in a red brick building in Wicker Park, the heart of Chicago. She strings her paycheck from rent day to rent day, never able to put anything together, to make anything of herself. Her beautiful dance studio, for both young girls and old, barely keeps her fed or keeps clothes on her back. And, because of this busy, ever-brimming schedule, she is unable, ever, to live her life. To meet anyone romantically. To think about sex, let alone have it.

Until: Drew arrives. He’s handsome, charming. He leads her away from her troubles, to a perfect day at the ballpark, to heart-wrenching sex in the Four Seasons—the height of luxury. Molly is unsure of what to do, brimming with such love, such longing. She’s been ripped from her life of unrest, of constant stress, and brought into this new world of orgasmic experiences and riches.

But will this immaculate world of sex, of grandeur truly solve her problems? Will she find herself losing her true passion—dance—on her way to a better, more fulfilling life? And how often can she lie to this supposed “man of her dreams” until she has to fess up about her true, hopeless self?

Terrible. Will not be reading anything else from this author. Flat characters and poorly written sex scene. Also Drew seems like a schmuck and can anyone else work out who bought her building??? Surprise twist I don't think!

I think the story line has promise however, Molly is very annoying and full of herself. I could do without her thoughts of people being overweight or older women being saggy. If you leave out the insults about chubby husbands and other people in general the story still lacked depth. It was hard to care for the main guy when he was trying to go home with her 20 min after they met and besides him being rich you didn't know much about him.

The final straw was the mention of the Cubs beating the Cardinals. I could have overlooked it even though I'm a Cards fan but the rest of the story didn't hold up.

You can't help but fall in love with Molly. The fierce determination to make her dance studio thrive is quickly sinking. Will her new friend, Drew, become her enemy or the love of her life? Molly's hopes and dreams are starting to crash around her. Will Drew fight for Molly, and her dreams, or crush them one by one. This is an I outstanding new series by Claire Adams. A must read!

I really enjoyed this book. I like Drew and Molly right off the bat. I liked there time together at the ball game and can't wait for more. Drew and Molly together is great but you know that their is something that is going to happen next and I can't wait to see what it will be.

bad

I ended up skipping through over 50% of the book. There was no depth, no plot. Other than Molly being a poor dancing teacher and lying to Drew about it. Drew seemed like a schmuck. The whole story was awkward and just plain boring.

I don't like characters that are easy convinced or just a little sweet talk then she's hooked. Aha!

Hooked

So heartbroken for Molly, trying her best to succeed at business, life in general, then to get it knocked out from under her, cannot wait to read bk. 2

[Renata SG · Rating 2 out of 5]

2.5 STARS ... THIS BOOK LACKED DEPTH, LACKED A GOOD STORY LINE & LACKED CHARACTER.
THE TWO MAIN CHARACTERS WERE WEAK & DIALOGUE SLIGHTLY ON THE BORING SIDE.
SORRY, BUT WONT BE READING BOOK 2
