Mistywood Lane #4
Hooked on You
Mistywood Lane neighbors Preston Holmes and Zoe Rollins have been besties since the epitome of friendship meant sharing your Pokéman bubblegum cards.
Now Zoe is engaged to schoolteacher/up-and-coming assemblage artist Dante Gregory.
Bucking the norm has been her style, so of course, she sidesteps a traditional wedding party. Dante will have his best man while Zoe taps Preston as her all-purpose “best dude.”
Preston plans to suck it up and rise to the challenge. However, there’s a hitch. Her “brother from another mother” has caught feelings complicating the plan. He’s torn between his growing physical attraction to Zoe and the need to do what’s right — leaving his bestie to a man who promises to deliver her happily ever after.
Playa-Playa Preston is unwilling to torpedo a decades-long friendship to scratch a pesky itch.
He’s made a tough decision and aims to follow through, giving his opinions on cupcakes, flower arrangements, do-it-yourself invitations, and dollar store wedding gowns.
And where there’s smoke, there’s “Hellfire.”
Preston is determined to crush his tasks, but is he the best dude in more ways than one?
Hooked on You is a *slow burn*-best friends-to-lovers romance that contains strong language, bawdy humor, and sexy times.

3/5 ⭐️
- This was a fluffy and fun book!! I love how this story included so many unique things that you don’t see in other books like a love of knitting, unique family dynamics, characters that workout often, and a tv dating show. Love how this author incorporated so many side plots in the story.
- I wish the text hadn’t been so small. I ended up reading the entire book on kindle because it was so hard to read in the physical book. I typically tandem read between the physical book and my kindle.
- Friends to lovers is my favorite trope and I love that there was some tension towards the end! I wasn’t sure how it was going to end, but I loved it!! I do wish that there had been a little more tension between the two love interests to add a little more pizazz , but overall it was a cute read.

Lovely and lighthearted
The love story was a lovely story. Friends to lovers with a slight chance of drama. The artsy and creative side of the main character was fun. The male lead was good until he decided to act like a f-boy. Overall, this was a good read.

This book was FINE. I liked the friends to lovers story, and I loved the main character who crocheted for a living. There is a little too much talk about fitness and working out and body changes from working out for my tastes, and it almost made me quit the book early on.
