Chicago City Girl Tackles Colorado Mountains with Sexy, Reclusive Guide
From The Book Junkie Reads . . . Hooked
on Love (Cotton Creek, #2) . . .
Looking for a romantic comedy to get
you week/weekend going. Then I suggest picking up a copy of Hooked on Love. My first read by this
author and it was a high-flying home run or better yet the game winning
touchdown with 3 seconds to go.
A simple, fly fishing, outdoorsy man
and a ritzy, designer suit wearing city girl. Put them both together for the
mutual benefit of both and you get a hilarious ride that was none stop all the
way to the end. Sully, Sadie, and Avery have a great deal of outdoor fun. The
adventure was worth the sacrifice. Avery had to be in Cotton Creek for an
article and a possible promotion. Sully was there because well he loved the simple
life and his ex took everything she could. I did not like her. I did not like
what she did to and the feelings she caused Sully to feel.
I liked Sully right from the start. He
was sexy, smart, real, simple, interesting, but lacked the real self-confidence
I love in a man. That changed with time and the love and attention of the right
woman.
Cotton Creek, Colorado has itself a
new reader. I want to know more about what goes on or went on in this sweet,
quaint little town. I want more of the beauty
within. Jennie Marts do an outstanding job. Keeping me smiling, then laughing,
the squealing (okay let’s keep the squeal part to ourselves), and falling in love
with Cotton Creek.

Avery Oliver can see the byline now. What better way to
jumpstart her journalism career than to head out into the woods with a sexy
guide? It’s all very Bear Grylls, but she’ll take it, even if it means ditching
her beloved designer suits and handbags.
All Sullivan Reed needs in life is a fly rod and the roar
of a river. Playing guide to a hot little reporter can’t end well…until they
strike a deal that’s mutually beneficial. She’ll pretend to be his girlfriend
to deflect an overly flirtatious neighbor, and he’ll help her with the article.
It’s a win-win.
Until it isn’t. By the time a storm strands them in his
cabin, Sully’s done pretending. He wants Avery—badly—but she’s a big-city girl
looking for adventure, not his simple life. So why does releasing her feel like
he’s lost the perfect catch?

The distraction of her gorgeous legs almost did him
in. Literally.
Sullivan Reed hit the brakes just in time to avoid a
collision in front of the general store.
The curvy blonde in the red jacket didn’t even
notice, her focus intent, trying to wrench her purse from the passenger seat of
her car—a little foreign number with rental tags.
She
was wearing some kind of short pants, not quite shorts but not really a skirt.
Must be the new fashion—not that he paid attention to fashion. According to his
ex, he never noticed anything.
But
he noticed this woman—noticed her long legs, her too-high heels, and what the
hell was up with that purse? It was practically the size of Wyoming. What could
she possibly be carrying in there? He could pack for a three day trip in a
grocery sack.
Not
that he cared. He didn’t have time to be thinking about how high her heels were
or the enormity of her handbag when he had other things to worry about. Bigger
fish to fry. So to speak.
He
needed to get in, grab his supplies, and get back to the shop. He’d stayed up
late last night tying some new flies and wanted to get the new stock put up
this afternoon so he could be out on the creek by dusk.
Early
summer in the Colorado mountains was like paradise to a fly-fisherman. Plus he
needed the time spent fishing tonight to mentally prepare himself for the
visitor who was supposed to arrive tomorrow.
Besides,
with that long blond hair and tall curvy figure, the woman in the red jacket
was totally out of his league.
Not
that he had a league, or even wanted to be in a league. He wasn’t even
particularly interested in the game right now. He just wanted to be left alone.
Present
company excluded. He reached across the seat and patted the neck of his golden
retriever, Sadie.
Sadie
was the only female in his life now, the only female he trusted, and that was
fine with him. She hadn’t left him, didn’t yell at him to make more money,
never nagged him to pick up his wet towels off the bathroom floor, and she
hardly ever snored. All attributes that he valued.
The
dog whined, sitting upright in the seat of his old truck, her gaze intent on
the blond woman.
She
stood on the sidewalk, oblivious to him and the fact he’d almost run her down,
her large round sunglasses perched low on her nose as she looked over them to
read the parking meter.
Sully
watched her dig into her cavernous bag for change. He was no lip reader, but he
was fairly certain she dropped a pretty clear F-bomb before pulling her hands
out and throwing them up in disgust, apparently giving up on the effort.
He
stepped out of his truck, his gaze captivated by the way her hips swayed and
the swish of the breezy fabric of her shorts against her legs as she hurried
into Miller’s Mercantile. He slammed the door and stepped up to the curb,
stuffing his hands in the pockets of his shorts and jingling his loose change.
After
dropping a quarter into his own meter, he paused in front of hers.
It
would serve her right to get a ticket. “Just because this town is small doesn’t
mean you can just ignore the law,” he grumbled, half to himself, half to the
dog who watched him intently, and then he dropped a quarter into her meter.
Pausing,
he thought about the size of her purse—she was probably pretty high maintenance
and would be in there for a while.
He
dropped in a second quarter.
