Windy City Nights #3.5
Off the Hook: When Luke Met Abbey
He knew he didn’t deserve her, didn’t fit in her world. But the moment he laid eyes on her, he knew she was his...
Rocco Moretti had a rough start in life. Abused by his parents and abandoned when he was six years old, he’s spent his life trying to prove his worth.
After barely getting out alive while deployed in Afghanistan, he’s settled into civilian life—for the most part. He’s convinced himself being a devoted brother, uncle, and associate at Dixon-Shaw Security is all he deserves.
Hannah Hailey has been professionally unfulfilled at her mother’s successful event planning firm for far too long.
Bullied into a relationship with a man her mother considers suitable, Hannah is miserable. Richard Hayes is an arrogant, cheating bastard she despises.
When Hannah and Rocco meet, their chemistry is undeniable, and sparks fly.
Hannah believes she doesn’t have a chance with the sexy Italian Marine, but is captivated by his seductive charm. Rocco knows Hannah is way out of his league, but is spellbound by the dark-haired temptress. He’s determined to have her at all costs.
Can they build a real future together or will pressure from Hannah’s well-to-do family tear them apart?

Oh my gosh, it's the sweetest young adult story. The characters are 18 and 20 years old but really star struck lovers.

Not great. This is the first book I read in this series, so maybe that’s why? But ugh, the ‘I’m your man and you’re my girl’ talk was ANNOYING.

Oh good lord I’m sorry but this was just awful!!
Firstly it was written as if your best friend was reciting a story.
Secondly, it was one of the cheesiest things I’ve ever read. My eyes hurt from squeezing them shut because it was so cringeworthy!!
Now I’m all for a good short novella, but for a book as short as this to actually work, the story should only have a short time line. Like one night or a weekend at most.
I really am sorry but it was sooo bad!!

not what I expected
I feel like Abbey was made to sound very young and naïve. Because of the way I interpreted Abbey’s character I kept picturing her really young and Luke older. I know they aren’t but the way the story was told all I could see was a big age gap with Luke seeming a bit pushy? Maybe it was just me but definitely not the book for me.
