Hooked on a Feeling

Nautical Mile Club #1

by Ashley Bostock

USA TODAY Bestselling Author Ashley Bostock brings together close family dynamics, long-standing family feuds, steamy relationships, and the mandatory family Sunday dinners in this seductive, addicting, and thigh-clenching romance series featuring the Davenport family.

Navigating family business can lead to rough waters.

Starr Young never wanted to sell her grandfather’s beloved Emerald Port marina, but her parents have given her two weeks to do just that. The only problem is that John Davenport, her gorgeous new neighbor, is tempting and kind of fun . . . in bed and out. Oops.

Surely a little fling while she cleans out the cottage and puts the marina up for sale won’t rock the boat—will it?

John Davenport is focused on becoming CEO of Blue Horizon Yachts. The last thing he needs is the cute next-door neighbor distracting him with all of her yoga moves. Starr Young is sexy, independent and John can’t seem to shake her—watching her from his office windows morning, noon and night. Even worse—the Davenports and Youngs have been feuding for generations.

And it doesn’t matter that they’re opposites— she thinks his yachts are ruining the ocean and he’s not taking care of the planet like she does. Opposites attract, after all. Besides, she won’t be in Emerald Port for long. John might be lying to himself when he says he doesn’t mind the short-term love affair.

Can John convince Starr to stay? Or will she leave him high and dry, with a broken heart?

ARC Review of Hooked On A Feeling by Ashley Bostock
* * * * *
A small town romance, with small town drama, and big family feuds!

John wanted hos father's position in the family company. He has been chasing that title that has been hung over him by that very man, but no matter what he does or says, he never reaches it. When he is offered hos own position from another company out of the family business...he's considering it.
Though it could cost him.
Starr is new to town and hoping to fix up her late grandparents' property before selling it. Her parents are lazy, she needs the money to open her yoga studio.
Neither of them planned to meet and create this attraction.
It's even more conflicting when it appears they should be hating each other, due to a feud between the two households.
But both John and Starr are stubborn people...and like the water, the feelings are rising.
Nasty cops, interesting family dinners, and a hatred broken. One small town romance with all the drama!

Enjoyable read with introduced characters who are going to get their time to shine!
Damn John's father is stubborn, great to see thr family ain't taking shtick!

This is the first in a new series and this is Starr and John’s story which is filled with family feuds and dynamics. This is a good story which has emotions, family, conflict, tension, intrigue, heartbreak, drama, and love, which leads to an enjoyable small-town romance.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Humor, heart and drama are a tempting combination. Hooked on a Feeling has all those things and more. Bostock pushes the senses into overload with spicy romance, sassy dialogue and heartfelt emotion that will leave you breathless. Falling in love is easy, walking away is impossible.
