Beckmeyer Family #1
Hooked
Barrett Beckmeyer lived his whole life knowing what he wanted. He wanted to be outside, on the lake at his family's resort. Fishing was his life. In the summer, in the winter, it didn't matter. He loved it. He didn't know anything was missing. Until Eden. One night with her and nothing was the same. Eden Craig wasn't looking for more than a night of fun. That was all Barrett was supposed to be. One night and then forget him. Only forgetting him was impossible. And when she's asked to be the lead architect on an addition at Maple Ridge Resort, she knows avoiding him will be inevitable. She was hooked from the second he sat down next to her, but did he feel the same?

This started off well. Good chemistry but it was missing something for me. Likeable characters and family. Maybe too nice? I needed more but that’s just my personal opinion.

Well I was hooked right from the beginning. A one night stand turned into a love story. It was really cute and the Beckmeyer family are absolutely amazing. Can't wait to see what sibling falls in live next.

Awesome book!!!
This is a wonderful romantic book. You have a beautiful woman who didn’t have a loving family that moved from Florida to a cold snowy Wisconsin for a new job and meets a handsome man at the bar. That lead to a one night stand but they couldn’t get each other out of their mind. She ends up working for his family building a new addition to their resort. Definitely a page turning book and a very happy ending!!!

Great start to a series with a family filled with love and laughter. Loved Bennett and Eden together and that Eden found the family she always wanted. Looking forward to the next book.

"Wow! I loved everything about this story. For instance, Barrett was one of a kind man. I'm so used to guys with co*ky attitude and over the top arrogance that someone with a different attitude is always appreciated. Barret was an exception character and her personality was beautiful and so sweet. I loved him that's for sure. Eden was a complicated character and not in the good way. She was awfully mean to Barret and that's not cool. If you're over the top attracted to a person why treat him like tr*sh and fake a smile? That's pathetic for someone so old and supposedly smart. Job is job. No need to mix things. Also, have I mention how annoying Barret sister is?! Grow up girl! I totally get why she would be mad considering her past experiences but come one when was the last time you spill out your life to a random girl you meat for a job? Childish much? On the contrary, Barret brothers were perfect. Utterly crazy but also adorable. Back to Eden and Barret, from their first encounter they had chemistry and ongoing connection that was both special and hot. I was really excited about that but Eden ruined everything with her stubbornness making the story harder to continue lol. But she obviously ended up regretting her mistake and well I like how this ended up. It was a good story the kind you love but also annoys you, I know weird. BUT I'm looking forward for the next satires. I want all the happily ever after of all the brothers, yes!!!!"

I enjoyed the book. It was funny and heartwarming. Not too long and not too short which I like.
Barrett is an outdoorsy kind of guy. He loves to fish and just be at the resort because its his family's legacy. He's comfortable there and its all he's ever really wanted but he's missing something and a night out and maybe finding a lady for the evening is all he needs or so he thinks.
Eden has had it tough especially her childhood. She's moving on and a new place and a new job is what she needs for a fresh start. She doesnt love the cold though. Wanting to get a feel for the people she heads to the local bar. Then he walks in. Easy on the eyes and she's up to some fun as well. No strings a one-off and he agrees. Problem is after saying goodbye they cant quite let go. Can these 2 admit what they are denying?
I enjoyed both characters and I loved the siblings and parents of Barrett. I love the feel of the family dynamic because I can totally relate on the embarrassing moments. I did get slightly annoyed with Eden's character because she was so back and forth and she did initially hurt Barrett by rejecting him but thats okay I was plotting her death in my head.....because I'm a fan of Barrett a big one. Thankfully these 2 pulled their heads out and trusted one another. This was well written and I had fun reading it.

Those feelings of real Love but people differently. From a look across the room, to knowing someone for a long time and it is gradual or maybe even finding that one person to scratch that itch for you in the back seat of your truck! This book has Barrett and Eden dealing with all types of emotions and it is a good read. This book has a lot of sex in it but I thought it was graphic but not trashy. But more than just that it has a story line as well. Those real life situations that make you warm and fuzzy but also mad . You want to wrap your arms around Eden and make her feel better. I was happy to read that her and Nikki made up and I can see them being really good friends forever. 3 more siblings so I am guessing 3 more stories ? Looking forward to them .

Steamy, touching, and sweet
Barrett, the oldest of the Beckmeyer family, loves working and being outside. He is in charge of the fishing expeditions for his family's resort, and it's all he needs.
Until he meets Eden.
Eden left her job in Florida with a bitter taste in her mouth towards men in her profession. After being sexually harassed and then not believed, she quit her job and moved to Wisconsin to accept a better one. She hung out in the local bar, trying to meet new friends in the small town.
And then Barrett walked in.
The chemistry between these two is off the charts. Bree Kraemer knows how to write good stories with both spice and romance, and this is no exception. I'm going to hunt down the rest of the books in this series ASAP!

A fantastic story of love and family.
Eden is new in town and goes to the local for a drink on the same night Barrett comes to town for a bit of socialising. After a few drinks, a lot of dancing and some hot vibes they end up spending some quality time together. But what was supposed to be a one night stand had them both secretly wanting more.
When Eden takes on a project at Barrett’s family’s resort, any keeping away from each other is shot. HEA. A great fun read.

The moment Barrett entered the bar he was drawn to Eden and she was feeling pretty much the same. But what started out as a one time thing changed them both. Loved the story , yes the sex is hot but I still would have loved the book without it being in it. I'm excited that there are 3 more Beckmeyer kids to go , that means 3 more book . HIP HIP HOO RAY. i'm ready to read the next one

Second book from this author
Another story that starts a series, unfortunately money now is not just tight it's virtually nonexistent. So, I will keep reading the free books, hoping this in the future, circumstances will change. I saw only one typo, but I was reading, not proofreading.

This was a very good romance story. I liked the dynamic between all the Beckmeyer siblings. I loved how we got to truly see how they act as a family. Barrett and Eden have a great relationship and I liked how they evolved as the story went. Great read.

Bennett and Eden's relationship starts off steamy. Although way too much sex for my taste, I enjoyed their story and their need to be together. I fell in love with the Beckmeyer family, their traditions, and outrageous behavior. Looking forward to reading the next in this series.

From the first chapter I was hooked. Eden and Barrett are great characters and so are his family. One night of sex that's all it's going to be. That's what they thought any way the fates had different plan

Barrett Beckmeyer loves his family's resort no matter the season. Not else came close until he met Eden. This beautiful woman knocked him off his feet. Good thing he was sitting down. Eden Craig just wanted some fun but never imaged getting hooked on him. Talk about magical bait.
March 30, 2021
this was a really great book! he loves being outdoors. she is new to the town and hates the cold. they end up hooking up one night . now her job has brought them back together. read to find out what happens.

2.5 Stars. Not as enthusiastic as other readers. The family dynamic is fun. But h is totally implausible, going from a strong character to an emotionally dependent woman in one chapter. Also hardly any content about her work as an architect.

Hooked (Beckmeyer Family book 1)
A very emotional and uplifting story of a couple and their family backgrounds being opposite each others but the connection they have as a couple and getting what she has been looking for working out because he is all in.

Loved barrett and eden's story. The family dynamics are fantastic. One night turned into wanting more, one encounter turned into needing more.

Love this story. Eden is a great character who you connect with. I look forward to the next book and more by a new to me author.

A steamy insta-love story full of plenty of sexy times and sweet family times. I really enjoyed the family love and banter between the characters.
